 Location of Peckeloh in Versmold
|
|
Peckeloh [ 'pɛkəloː ] is a district in Versmold in East Westphalia in the district of Gütersloh , North Rhine-Westphalia . Including the settlement areas of Sandort , Wöste , Buschort , Hollmort and Vorbruch , around 3500 people live on an area of around 1700 hectares. Thus, Peckeloh is, after the district of the Versmold city center, the most populous district of the East Westphalian municipality of Versmold . With its location on the border with Sassenberg in the west, Peckeloh is the gateway to the Münsterland for the old district of Halle .
etymology
The place name Peckeloh derives from the name Peclon how the peasantry is named in the oldest sources from. The prefix “Pec” goes back to the hue of the boggy soil in the southern and western part of the former Peckeloh; the suffix "lon" was already in the older literature as an expression of ditches , aqueducts , log roads known or deduction waters in a region. Thus, the name of the peasantry in direct relationship to the natural environment potential of the former Peckelohs as this mainly by floods was plagued and gradually over long periods by trenches and dams dried up are needed.
geography
Geographical location
Peckeloh is located on the border between the Münsterland and East Westphalia in the Münsterland Bay . In addition, the community is located southwest of the Teutoburg Forest . Despite its location near a mountain range , Peckeloh lacks any kind of elevations and valleys , which is among other things a distinctive symbol for the region.
The lowest point ( 59 m above sea level ) of Peckeloh is southwest of the town center, where the Hessel leaves the city. Both the already mentioned Hessel in the south and many small streams and ditches, spread over the entire village, flow through Peckeloh, all of which flow into the Hessel. These include the Hollmortgraben in the northwest, which flows over the Füchtorfer Moor near Sassenberg into the Hessel, the Poggenfahrtsgraben , the Wöstenbach and the Aabach , which flows south from Bockhorst through downtown Versmold and flows into the Hessel at the Versmolder Bruch . The village center of Peckeloh is 4.5 km east of Sassenberg, 4 km north of Greffen , a district of Harsewinkel , and 3 km southwest of downtown Versmold. The Louisensee is a quarry pond.
The next largest city, the district town of Gütersloh , is about 21 km to the south-east. Bielefeld in the east and Osnabrück in the north are both about 32 km away from Peckeloh, while Münster in the west is 46 km away. Peckeloh is located in the center between Ravensberger Land, Münsterscher Bucht and the wooded low mountain range Teutoburg Forest . The triangle where these three regions meet is not in Peckeloh, but 4 km further north on the shared border of Versmold and Sassenberg in the Versmold district of Loxten , where that triangle was marked by a boundary stone.
Settlements in Peckeloh
The Versmold district of Peckeloh is made up of the two settlements Peckeloh and Sandort , the scattered settlement Buschort , which also has a hamlet of the same name , and some farmers such as Hollmort and Vorburch.

geology
As in the rest of the Versmold area, there are clay and sandstones of a coal mountain ( Upper Carboniferous ) that lead seams in the deeper subsoil . These are covered by an up to 1700 m thick overburden made of marl stones over limestone from the Middle Ages ( chalk ). The solid rock is completely covered by up to 30 m thick loose rock from the Ice Age ( Quaternary ). In the soil of Peckeloh there are sandy and silty deposits from the Vistula glaciation . In the floodplain of the Hessel in the south, there are young humus sands and clayey silts and occasional fens peat .
history
Foundation in the Middle Ages
In 1280 the Peckeloh peasantry was first mentioned when the Marienfeld monastery acquired the "curtis suderloh in parochia Versmele" , ie a Suderloh farm in the already existing parish of Versmold. Hof Suderloh, which was subsequently known as Hof Schulte zur Surlage, was not assigned to a named peasantry, but to a parish as a whole.
The court's purchase of territory was complicated, as both the Bishop of Münster and the Bishop of Osnabrück were interested in the border area between the two dioceses . The takeover of the farm by a Münster monastery initially did not affect the territorial ambitions of the Ravensberg rulers . The name "Suderloh" means something like "south of the forest" or "southern forest", which indicates that the "curtis suderloh" got its name from a point to the north and became the center of settlement in a natural area that later became was given the name Peckeloh .
Early modern age
In the 13th century the southern Versmold area of today's districts of Hesselteich and Peckeloh was sparsely populated. Isolated settlement islands, which were located on the southern forest - Suderloh - had little chance of growth , as the area was plagued by the flooding of the Hessel and Aa and was hardly suitable for cultivation . At that time, Peckeloh was only a wet lowland area rich in water , which had to be gradually drained so that cultivated land could be created. The Peckeloh area thus described a slowly emerging bundle of farms belonging to the Marienfeld Monastery, which over a long period of time wrested alluvial lands from the wetland between Aa and Hessel and expanded them into cultivated lands.
In 1338 further properties were added, so that the Marienfeld monastery now had a certain network of farms in the area, from which clearing and cultivation activities were carried out. Six Spännerhöfe on Peckeloher Boden, Schulte zur Surlage, Wiltmann , Bramert, Piper, Bussmann and Böckmann, belonged to the monastery towards the end of the Middle Ages and were therefore owned by Münster . At the same time, however, the settlement activity in the area increased overall. Erbkötter- and Markkötterhöfe, which were also owned by the Counts of Ravensberg and later the Dukes of Cleve, Jülich and Berg , were settled. The area around Peckeloh was increasingly understood as a mark of Ravensberg, through which Ravensberg, through special rights to individual farms and a phase of promoting a land grabbing of the Marienfeld monastery, finally obtained county rights and was able to firmly integrate the area as a sovereign area in the parish of Versmold . Peckeloh lost his membership in the diocese of Münster and gained membership in Ravensberg .
In the county of Ravensberg
While the Marienfeld monastery cultivated and expanded the country on a small number of farms, the Ravensberg family focused on the settlement of smaller Kötter farms and the adoption of further legal titles , all of which were suitable for gaining sovereign rights over an area that belonged to the parish of Versmold and finally by the Vogtei Versmold with was administered. The boundaries between the County of Ravensberg and Münster Monastery were defined for the first time in 1535. This demarcation, however, was only roughly described and was the expression of a still smoldering dispute, to the satisfaction of which a compromise had been found, which, however, had bizarre features. The final clarification was only found after the end of the Thirty Years' War , which then also led to denominational separation in the border area between Ravensberg, Münster and Osnabrück. In the course of this, the affiliation of the Potthoff court, formerly Hollmann, which was an important Peckeloher court on the direct border with the Münster monastery, was controversial until the 16th century. The listed warehouse of the courtyard still shows a Ravensberg rafter in the coat of arms, which should clarify the affiliation to the County of Ravensberg opposite Münster. Hof Hollmann was an outpost of the Peckeloher farmers.
19th century
In 1853 the first village school was built in Peckeloh under the direction of the then village teacher and astronomer Heinrich Weber. Teacher Weber taught around 200 children here, alone and in shifts until 1865. A special feature of the small school is the bell tower, which was also commissioned by Weber. The old school building can still be found in Peckeloh today and is currently used as the parish hall of the Protestant church .
Agriculture modernized itself considerably in the last third of the 19th century. The old brand grounds were made arable and soon more and more people could be fed better and better. The peasant population, especially the number of children, increased rapidly. As early as 1865, a second teaching position was created at the village school in Peckeloh. Finally, in 1881, a third teaching position was necessary. In addition, the number of students had increased so much that a larger school was needed. The municipality of Peckeloh acquired a heather east of the old school and built a new school on it in 1881, including a teacher's apartment. This was also rededicated as a classroom in 1909. For this purpose, a wing of the building was added as a teacher's apartment between the two world wars. Accompanied by further cultivation measures, lessons were fed up here for so long. In 1960, today's elementary school was built on what was then the school field, which has since taken over the school function in the village.
Incorporation
On April 1, 1960 there was a border adjustment at the former municipality and city limits, which separated the city of Versmold from the municipality of Peckeloh (at that time Peckeloh was still an independent municipality of the Versmold office in the old district of Halle ). During this border adjustment, inhabited areas also changed their affiliation to the municipality of Peckeloh or the city of Versmold. The size of the then urban area of Versmold was reduced by about three hectares, the municipality of Peckeloh gained three hectares.
As part of the North Rhine-Westphalian regional reform, Peckeloh was merged with the other municipalities of the Versmold office, including Versmold-Stadt, Loxten, Bockhorst, Hesselteich and Oesterweg, to form the new town of Versmold on January 1, 1973 in the course of the implementation of the Bielefeld Act . The Versmold office was dissolved and its legal successor is the city of Versmold.

Parish hall (today)

Old school building (around 1900)
|
- Evangelical parish hall. The parish hall is located in the center of Peckeloh and contributed to the historic founding of the village. In 1853 the first village school was built in Peckeloh under the direction of the village teacher at the time, Heinrich Weber. Heinrich Weber taught around 200 children here, alone and in shifts until 1865. The old school building lost its function after the construction of a new school building in 1881 and was subsequently converted first as a youth center and later as the parish hall of the Protestant parish in Peckeloh. A special feature of the small school is the bell tower , which was also commissioned by Weber.
The bell bears the following inscription:
“Love and unity of the community. Called you here, follow me. If my sound calls you to prayer, then love and harmony stay here. "
- Potthof farm. The historic farm with storage facility, which was formerly called Hollmann, bears the coat of arms of the Ravensberg county , but the affiliation of the farm was controversial until the late Middle Ages. Today the Potthof farm is on the direct border with Füchtorf. The two-and-a-half-storey storage facility on Laersch's Piepstein base with its brick cellar vault is a typical example of a separate storage building used in an agricultural environment. The courtyard is a marked monument of the city of Versmold, on whose territory it is located today.

- Catholic chapel. The Catholic chapel was built on the Schulte zur Surlage farm at the instigation of the Marienfeld monastery. The current building was built around 1720. The altar with its five carved crosses, however, is likely to be much older. Actually, Versmold was already considered a Protestant parish in the 18th century . It is all the more remarkable that the Marienfeld monastery, as the landlord, had a Catholic chapel built here. The monastery was interested in doing a mission in the evangelical Peckeloh.
- Heinrich-Weber-Platz. Heinrich-Weber-Platz is a cultural monument with a fountain in the heart of Peckeloh and is right next to the primary school. The square was built on October 26, 1974 in honor of the village teacher and astronomer Heinrich Weber and is now used as a recreation room. Because of disagreements among the residents and willful damage to the monument, the square was redesigned and restored . The typical red paving, which gave the square its nickname Red Square , was retained during the redesign. The fountain was replaced by a floor fountain and the green area was expanded. The maypole is set up here to celebrate May 1st . Furthermore, Heinrich-Weber-Platz is the setting for the Christmas tree in winter. In addition, many municipal actions take place here.
- Old Wagemann pub. The old restaurant on the B 476 is no longer in operation and is now in disrepair. The building, like the Wöstenkrug in the Wöste ( farmers in Peckeloh) or the Kastanienkrug in the Sandort (settlement in Peckeloh) , is one of the many former inns that testify to Peckeloh's heyday.
- Jewish memorial. A Jewish memorial was erected in the forecourt of the Peckeloh primary school to commemorate the Jewish victims in World War II and to commemorate the horrors .
- Wayside shrine of the Virgin Mary near Heinrich-Weber-Platz.
- Peckeloher pioneer monuments. Several pioneering monuments can be found spread over the central settlement of Peckeloh. These are located at the Volksbank , among others , but also at the pond in the city park, next to the welcome sign.
- Place name sign Peckeloh. The place-name sign Peckeloh is an old carriage from Peckeloh's farming days. The cart is filled with flowers and bushes. In front of the carriage there is a sign with the inscription "Our village Peckeloh '85". The monument is located in the heart of the village opposite the new school from 1881. According to the inscription, the town sign was erected in 1985.
