history

Oestereiden is first mentioned in 1170. The name of Oestereiden and the neighboring Westereiden goes back to Eden or Eyden . This could mean altitude or heather . Oestereiden and Westereiden stand for the eastern and western parts of the Eden settlement. Since the Middle Ages , Oestereiden was part of the Gografschaft or Gogericht Rüthen in the Electoral Cologne Duchy of Westphalia . This becomes part of Hessen-Darmstadt in 1802 and from 1807 Oestereiden is assigned to the new Rüthen office. In 1811 the mayor district of Oestereiden was created as the lowest administrative unit , to which Westereiden also belongs. In 1815 Oestereiden became part of the Kingdom of Prussia and in 1816 of the Lippstadt district . The municipality of Oestereiden was established in 1827/28 after the dissolution of the district of Oestereiden. This now belongs to the mayor's office in Anröchte , which was renamed to Amt Anröchte in 1833. In 1845 the municipality of Oestereiden moved to the Altenrüthen office , which was called the Rüthen office from 1937. On January 1, 1975 it was incorporated into the city of Rüthen.
