history

The area around Ostenland was populated early by Germanic Brukterians and Saxons .

A part of Ostenland was first mentioned on February 2, 1290: bonis thome hope sitis in Delbrucgen ("The Thomehope estate, located in the Delbrücker Land"). However, it is not certain whether bonis stood for only one farm with the name Thomehope , or whether it was a name for several farms. Thomehope has roughly the meaning "aufm Haupe", which means a raised place in the middle of a swamp. Thomehope , later only called Haupt , developed into a center of Ostenland, as beer was brewed and served here.

Ostenland developed into a so-called peasantry , which included the main center as well as the villages Espeln and Hövelhof . On November 9, 1527, the name Easter farmers appear for the first time for this peasantry .

In 1820 Ostenland became an independent municipality. The place only lost this status during the municipal reform, which came into force on January 1, 1975 ( Sauerland / Paderborn Law ), when Ostenland was incorporated into Delbrück. At the same time it lost Espeln and the Klausheider settlement to Hövelhof. In 1989 Ostenland became Landesgolddorf and in 2008 Kreisgolddorf.

The village community is characterized by 24 associations with many subdivisions.
