story
middle age
One of the first documentary evidence dates back to 965, from a residential area called Bergeshövede . The village of Riesenbeck (Risenbeke) was first mentioned in a document in 1074. It was a handover of a farm in Riesenbeck to Bishop Benno II of Osnabrück in favor of the Klemenskirche in Iburg from the noble Walo. With the acquisition of the Osnabrück high bailiwick in 1236 by Count Otto I of Tecklenburg , Riesenbeck became part of the County of Tecklenburg . During this time, the Mecklenburg ministerial Konrad von Brochterbeck established the Gravenhorst monastery in 1256 .
In 1400 Riesenbeck fell to the monastery of Münster . This was the result of ongoing disputes between Count Nikolaus II of Tecklenburg and the powerful neighbors Münster and Osnabrück.
Modern times
In the course of secularization in 1803, Riesenbeck was added to the Kingdom of Prussia . In 1808 Riesenbeck fell to the Grand Duchy of Berg . After the end of Napoleonic rule, Riesenbeck became Prussian again and returned to the Tecklenburger Land in 1816 with the establishment of the Tecklenburg district .
Hörstel, which was part of the Riesenbeck parish until the 18th century, was spun off as an independent municipality on April 1, 1900. On February 21, 1945 Riesenbeck was the target of a bomb attack in which 20 people died. The town hall in Riesenbeck was inaugurated on July 21, 1959. The indoor swimming pool in Riesenbeck was opened on August 4, 1966. Riesenbeck lost its independence as a separate political municipality in the course of the regional reform on January 1, 1975, but retained the seat of the city administration of the new city of Hörstel .

business
The agricultural machinery manufacturer H.Niemeyer Söhne, who specializes in the production of plows in particular, has been based in Riesenbeck since 1888. The plowshares in Riesenbeck's coat of arms refer to the long tradition of making plows. In 2001 the production in Riesenbeck was stopped. In the following years, the RIELA company and a shopping center settled there. In Birgte, the repair workshop for agricultural machinery August Wübker Söhne, founded in 1949, became the OASE company with a worldwide pump production. The basis of the development was the cattle self-drinking pasture pump, registered as a patent in 1959, which was also successfully sold abroad.
