The large municipality of Rhynern is the namesake of the Hamm-Rhynern district, which was newly established in 1975 .

history

The name Osttünnen is derived from the noble lords and counts of Thunen, who had their residence in the early Middle Ages north of today's “Von Thünen-Straße” between Westtünnen and Osttünnen. The village did not emerge until the 20th century and initially consisted of scattered farms. The first homes were built in the 1950s and 1980s.

On January 1, 1968, the previously independent municipality of Osttünnen was incorporated into the municipality of Rhynern. On January 1, 1975, it was reclassified into the independent city of Hamm as part of the regional reform.
