history

The first documented mention of the parish of Südkirchen dates from around 1030. The first traces of settlement in the area, however, go back to the Neolithic Age . In 1378 a chapel was built at the Kohues farm. In 1633, during the Thirty Years' War , Südkirchen was occupied by Hessian troops like the entire Werne office and lost around two thirds of its population during this time. In 1691 the construction of the listed Pankratius Church began, which was completed in 1694.

In connection with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss (1803) the bishopric of Münster , to which the parish of Südkirchen belonged until then, was dissolved. The region was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia and Südkirchen was assigned to the new Lüdinghausen district in the Principality of Münster . Of the countries ceded by Prussia in the Tilsit Peace Treaty (1807) , Napoleon linked the Principality of Münster and other areas with the Grand Duchy of Berg, established in 1806 . Südkirchen now belonged to the canton of Werne in the arrondissement of Dortmund or to the department of the Ruhr and was administratively assigned to the Mairie Nordkirchen . After the French withdrew (1813), Prussia took over, initially provisionally, its previous areas on the right bank of the Rhine.

Due to the agreements made at the Congress of Vienna (1815), the region became part of Prussia on a permanent basis. The municipality of Südkirchen was assigned to the new administrative district of Münster and the province of Westphalia under the Prussian administration together with the district of Lüdinghausen .

1852 was the founding year of the men's choir "Concordia" and 1887 the founding year of the Südkirchen savings and loan association.

The construction of a syringe house with a new fire engine took place in 1891, but a voluntary fire brigade was not founded until 1908. In 1920 there was a plaque of honor in the church to commemorate those who died in the First World War .

The soccer club SV 26 Südkirchen was founded in 1926. In 2018 it was decided to convert the existing natural grass pitch into an artificial grass pitch .

On January 1, 1975, Südkirchen was incorporated into Nordkirchen.

In 2005 the craft tree was inaugurated with a church service and a festival.
