history
The oldest evidence of human settlement are the Helmich stones in the east , a large stone grave of the megalithic culture . During excavations, shards of funnel beakers and a flat ax made of flint were found. The Helmich stones are part of the street of the megalithic culture . Wittekindsburg is located southeast of Rulle . It was an early medieval fortification from the time of the Saxon Wars . Already around 1100 there was an own church on the Meierhof of the Tecklenburger ministerial Konrad von Lingen, which he sold to the order of the Cistercians in 1233 , which was consecrated to Ulrich von Augsburg . The Cistercian abbey, the Rulle monastery , existed from 1246 to 1803. On November 4, 1347, the blood miracle of Rulle took place, which established a pilgrimage tradition that continues to the present day .
On July 1, 1972, Rulle was incorporated into the municipality of Wallenhorst.
