However, the estate is located in the Bruchmühlen district or West Kilver . In 820 a women's foundation was founded in Herford . Kilver (at that time still Kelver with three yards) is mentioned in the lifting role . The community of Rödinghausen gives the "official" first mention of Ostkilver as 1150. On January 1, 1969, the municipality of Ostkilver became part of the newly created municipality of Rödinghausen. In East Kilver, soldiers of the British Rhine Army were stationed in the Birdwood Barracks until 1993 . The 27 hectare site of the former barracks was renovated in 1997 and converted into a commercial area. The 1st Armored Division Transport Regiment Royal Corps of Transport (1 ADTR) was stationed here until 1993 , which was then moved to Gütersloh .

coat of arms
Blazon: In silver (white) two red ploughshares facing each other over a red rafter; underneath a red windmill wing.
The coat of arms of the old community is today without any municipal legal significance. The rafter is typical of the region's coat of arms. It stands for the former affiliation to the County of Ravensberg . The plowshares indicate the long-time owners of Haus Kilver , Gut Waghorst and Gut Böckel , in whose vicinity Ostkilver developed. The red ploughshare is featured in the family coat of arms by both the Westphalian noble families von Vinckes and von Bussche . The only difference between the coat of arms of Bruchmühlen (West Kilvers) is the windmill wing. The Bruchmühlen on longer sections of the Else and Kilverbach shows a water wheel of a watermill. On the other hand, the higher east Kilver, which only borders on the Else for a short stretch, had more windmills.
Education, transport and economy
The only school in East Kilver is a primary school. The railway line Bad Bentheim - Minden (KBS 375), on which the RB 61 "Wiehengebirgs-Bahn" runs every hour, Bad Bentheim - Rheine - Osnabrück - Bünde - Herford - Bielefeld , crosses the district in the extreme south. Ostkilver is connected to the trunk road network via its own driveway (which is, however, signposted as the Bruchmühlen exit ) on the A 30 Amsterdam - Bad Bentheim-Rheine-Osnabrück- Bad Oeynhausen .
The largest employer in East Kilver is the kitchen manufacturer Ballerina . In addition, numerous smaller companies have settled in the industrial area on the site of a former British barracks.
