history

The village of Oestinghausen was first mentioned in 1189. It was probably an old Saxon settlement. After the Soest feud , which ended with the separation of the city of Soest from the Archbishop of Cologne , Oestinghausen remained in the Duchy of Westphalia , which belonged to the Archbishopric of Cologne. The village of Oestinghausen was then given its own jurisdiction .

After secularization , Oestinghausen fell to Hessen-Darmstadt around 1803 as part of the Duchy of Westphalia . The census of the population in Oestinghausen in 1808 resulted in a number of 522 people.

In 1816 Oestinghausen fell to Prussia and became part of the Soest district. When the Oestingshausen office was dissolved on January 1, 1839 and merged with the Soest regional and municipal court, Oestinghausen's own jurisdiction, which until then had been exercised by a judicial officer based in Hovestadt, ended.

In 1898 the Ruhr-Lippe-Kleinbahnen GmbH built a small railway with a track width of 1000 mm. She drove on the main line from Soest in the direction of Hamm via Lippborg . A four-track distribution station with a branch to Hovestadt was built in Oestinghausen, and its ailing station house was demolished in 2008. A small memorial was erected at the old train station. The railway was nicknamed "Pengel-Anton" and last ran in 1952. Like many small railways throughout Germany, it contributed to the development of the rural region.

As part of the municipal reorganization, the Oestinghausen office was incorporated into the newly created municipality of Lippetal on July 1, 1969.
