Roxel ( Low German Rauksel ) is a residential area ( district ) in the West district of Münster in Westphalia . 9,184 inhabitants live here on an area of 19.92 km².

The A1 motorway divides the district in Roxel west of the motorway and Altenroxel east of it.
history
Meaning of the place name
The old, original name of Roxel was Rokeslere or Rukeslare (documented evidence 1177). According to Heinrich Dittmeyer, it means something like “Rappenpferch”, “Rappenhürde”, “Rappenkoppel” (defining word = rôk > raven (crow), homonym to black horse). However, there are different views and interpretations of the basic word (h) lar (i) with regard to its meaning. Heinrich Dittmeyer is of the opinion that hlar is a fence or ladder word and hlar denotes a place that was enclosed in order to be able to keep especially male breeding cattle protected. The Slavist Jürgen Udolph contradicts him, but without conclusively clarifying the meaning of the basic word itself. He is of the opinion that -lar- is an ancient Germanic settlement word , the meaning of which can no longer be determined precisely because it has an etymology that is very difficult to understand. With his interpretation he approaches Joseph Schnetz, whose interpretation as “pasture”, however, was heavily criticized and partially withdrawn by him (in connection with ags. Læsow = “pasture” and slav. Lăs = “forest”, after Udolph) . In relation to Rokeslere, this means that the name could then also be interpreted as “Krähenort”, “Krähenwiese”, “Krähenweide”, “Krähenwald” or “Krähenlichtung”. One thing is certain: Rokeslere > Roxel is an ancient place name that is much older than the first written mention from 1177 suggests.
Altenroxel
Despite the misleading name, the Altenroxel district is likely to be a lot younger than the village of Roxel. Altenroxel is originally a Drubbel settlement west of the Münsterschen Aa , which was probably built at the beginning of the 11th century - that is, roughly at the same time as the neighboring farmers of Mecklenbeck .
Office Roxel
After the introduction of the rural community order in the province of Westphalia in 1843/44, the Roxel office was established. In addition to the official seat of Roxel, it included the communities of Albachten , Bösensell and Nienberge and lasted until the regional reform in 1975 (laid down in the Münster / Hamm Act ) and the associated incorporation of Roxels into Münster. With the regional reform, the communities Albachten and Nienberge fell to Münster, Bösensell to Senden ( Coesfeld district ).
Incorporation
On January 1, 1975, the community Roxel was dissolved. A part of the municipality with 14.54 km² and then 5945 inhabitants was incorporated into Münster. Havixbeck received from Roxel a larger area of 18.22 km², but only (at that time) 341 inhabitants. There is Hülshoff Castle , closely linked to Roxel for centuries, as the closest focal point for tourism and culture. The last mayor of the independent municipality of Roxel was Anton Wulfert from the Center Party.
