history
Meaning of the place name
The name of the place is made up of the parts Schnat and Horst.
- Schnat = Low German = border.
Not in the form of a line, but a natural border. Here a more or less wide strip of forest or wasteland (see also: Schnatgang ).
- Horst = wooded hill, in this case probably the ridge of the Wiehengebirge (compare also: Horst ).
Loosely translated, Schnathorst means "border forest", whereby the different interpretations should be kept in mind.
First documented mention in 1244
In 1244, the enfeoffment of a hoof in the Lippe district of Schötmar is attested in a document by Richardus de Snathorst, among others. This had the social rank of a ministry and owned on loan from Amte Snathorst, after whose name he was named. Information on the place and structure of the place are not communicated, but from the position of Richardus it can be deduced that it was probably a Meierhof to which further hooves were assigned (see also Villication ).
Late Middle Ages 1300–1500
In 1330 the office of Schnathorst came into the possession of the nobleman Johann von Lübbecke as an episcopal fief and was pledged by the bishop to the von Grapendorf brothers in 1464. They sold it to the cathedral chapter in 1490. From the time around 1550 there is a list of the duties to the chapter from which the conditions at that time can be read very clearly.
The Urbar 1600
In 1645/1646, at the end of the Thirty Years' War , the Principality of Minden is under Swedish occupation. Since the Swedes believe that they will be able to keep the principality even after a peace agreement, they begin at this time to create a basis for the future administration and raise the land registry of the Reineberg office. This "court census" is the first complete list of the place Schnathorst. The name, size and type of the farm, dependencies and taxes to be paid, as well as the cultivated arable land are listed in detail. There are 28 farms on which around 160 people live. A special feature is that 16 of the courtyards belong to the cathedral chapter and only four to the sovereign (Amt Reineberg). The other sites are assigned to the parish church.
The French occupation in 1800
In 1807 the office of Schnathorst is dissolved and integrated into the newly founded canton of Reineberg based on the French model. In the following years Schnathorst belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia and from 1810 even directly to the French Empire. With the end of French rule and the subsequent reorganization, Schnathorst was assigned to the Bünde district in 1816. After its dissolution in 1832, the place comes to the newly created district of Lübbecke and within it to the Hüllhorst office.
In 1843, with the implementation of the Prussian rural community order, the Schnathorst office was created. It now includes the communities Schnathorst, Tengern, Holsen, Bröderhausen, Hüllhorst, Ahlsen-Reineberg, Büttendorf and Oberbauernschaft. At that time the office had 4940 inhabitants, 654 of them in the municipality of Schnathorst.
As early as 1856, with the coming into force of the community order, this condition was dissolved again and Schnathorst became an independent community in the Hüllhorst district. The newly introduced municipal self-government entitles every independent citizen to participate in public business. There was an elected council and a councilor . This order existed (with some changes) until 1933.

National Socialism and the Second World War
With the law for the alignment of the states with the Reich, all municipal offices and municipal councils are dissolved. Heinrich Hagemann becomes community leader (community school). There are 1148 inhabitants counted.
The post-war period 1945–1990
After the end of the war, Wilhelm Huchzermeier, who was in office from 1921 to 1933, was appointed mayor of the British military government. In the first local elections in 1948 he was confirmed in office for a further four years until 1952 due to a tie in the local parliament.
From 1952 to 1972 Hermann Bode then directed the fortunes of the community, which by then had grown to 1,723 people.
From 1953 to 1972 Schnathorst had its own glider flying area , which was closed due to legal regulations. The associated hangar on the "Am Berge" street is still standing today.
On April 6, 1970, the nine municipalities of the Hüllhorst office vote for the formation of a large municipality. With a further resolution of August 30, 1971, the new municipality was named Hüllhorst on January 1, 1973.
The year 1994 was the occasion and time of a well-attended 750th anniversary celebration in the village center.
Population development

Economic development
The main source of income for the population of Schnathorst has always been agriculture . Most of the livestock was kept for personal use, there was almost no forest management. Grown wheat , oats , peas and beets , and later potatoes . However, since there was a lack of suitable cultivation methods ( crop rotation , 4-field farming) and fertilizer, the yields were often poor.
Up to the middle of the 19th century, a large part of the population also lived from growing flax and processing it into linen by spinning and weaving at home. It was this physically hard work that ensured a tolerable livelihood for many of the residents together with agriculture. With the advent of mechanical yarn production and processing ( Ravensberger Spinnerei ) and the importation of cheap alternative products such as cotton , manual processing was no longer competitive practically overnight. Due to the poor transport connections, industrial production could not establish itself in this area.
There were few alternative jobs at that time, the population was becoming increasingly impoverished, and poor harvests did the rest. Many residents took this as an opportunity and emigrated to America or the Prussian province of Posen .
At the end of the 19th century, the emerging cigar production offered an excellent main or sideline source of income . This work could again be carried out at home and was relatively easy to learn. Soon afterwards, the first cigar factories (branches of the large Bünder manufacturers) were also established in Schnathorst.
Emerging from suppliers to the cigar industry, woodworking and mechanical engineering companies slowly established themselves . In addition, the clay industry developed and created jobs.
The ban on wrapping machines in cigar production meant that this branch of industry was able to hold up into the 1950s, but falling demand due to the success of the cigarette then led to a rapid decline.
Today agriculture only plays a subordinate role.
