history

Ostbevern was first mentioned in a document around 1088 under the name Beverne . A courtyard located in Bevern ( curtem in Beverne ) was transferred to the Iburg monastery . The parish belonged to the Principality of Münster , represented by the Lords of Bevern . In 1608 Hermann Schenking donated a poor house from the Bevern family . A school building has been occupied in the churchyard since 1611. The Thirty Years' War also hit Ostbevern hard. In 1636 the village was occupied by Swedish troops who wreaked havoc. Lieutenant General Peter Melander von Holzappel has quartered himself in the rectory, which he set on fire "as a thank you".

On August 9, 1936, Ostbevern became a model village in the Westphalia-North Gau . During the Second World War , due to the nearby Münster-Handorf airfield , there were extensive air defense facilities, such as searchlights and anti-aircraft cannons of the 22nd Flak Division in the Brandheide of the village farmers. There were also around 200 prisoners of war or forced laborers in the village. Many worked in agriculture and in the casein factory at the train station.

"In yellow (gold) two red zigzag bars , covered with a rising beaver with a red tongue."

The zigzag bars are borrowed from the von Bevern family coat of arms . The beaver was named after the Bever (the beaver is called bever in Low German ). The two settlements on the river were given their names: the eastern "Ostbevern", the western " Westbevern ". The coat of arms of the Elverfeldt called von Beverfoerde zu Werries also contains the beaver.
