Schepsdorf is a place in the Emsland district in Lower Saxony . Politically, it belongs to the city of Lingen (Ems) . The former Kirchdorf Schepsdorf were among the places and farming communities intestine, Rheitlage, Lohne with North Lohne and Gutsbezirk Herzford. All six together formed the church and school community Schepsdorf on an area of 9,454 ha. The political community Schepsdorf-Lohne , however, only consisted of Lohne (with northern wages) and Schepsdorf. Today Darme, Herzford and Rheitlage are also districts of the city of Lingen, while Nordlohne and Lohne have belonged to the municipality of Wietmarschen in the county of Bentheim since the regional reform .
Origin of place names and history
The name Schepsdorf (old: Scepesdorpe ) should mean ship village . Accordingly, the church seal of Schepsdorf also shows a ship. The place owes its origin and importance to the Ems ferry, which connected northern Germany with the Netherlands at this point. The importance of the ferry connection for pilgrims and merchants is beyond dispute.
After Wildeshausen near Oldenburg received relics of the martyr Alexander in 851, the place rose to become a much-visited place of pilgrimage. A particularly large number of pilgrims came from Twente (now Dutch). These often jam in front of the Ems ferry as the only way to cross. Therefore, a chapel was built at this point, partly to increase the piety of the pilgrims, but possibly also to participate in the business with the pilgrims. The church in Schepsdorf was initially a branch of Emsbüren . But it is not certain whether the oldest known name Scepesdorpe has anything to do with shipping. The church seal may only have been created after the chapel was built. A distinctive symbol was used, with which the seal of this place was immediately recognizable. Schepsdorf was counted as a Bursibant according to the Werden Heberegister .
Rheitlage (also riding position ) is 1,273 for the first time in the land register of the monastery are as Retlage (dtsch. Ried area, reed area mentioned). The location on the left bank of the Ems explains the origin of the name. It is said to have originally been a mansion.
Lohne (old: Loen also Lone ) is mentioned in 1152 in the Wietmarsch foundation deeds. The old name stands for a large, widely visible wood. Today the place is part of Wietmarschen.
Darme (old: Darum ) is first mentioned in writing in 1384. But the place must be much older. There is a very old word in the determiner, meaning willow grazing. The endings -um, -un, -ene, -en appear in numerous place names instead of a terminated basic word. A general basic word meaning "settlement" is hidden in it. So Darum means : settlement in a dry area.
Herzford (old: Hriasforda, Herzevorth ) should stand for Hirschfurt. In 1337, Bishop Ludwig von Münster built the castle gate Slips bi Herzevorth on this site to protect his Emsland possessions from the Tecklenburg people and the Bentheimers allied with them.
