Tecklenburg ( Tiäkenbuorch in East Westphalia ) is a small town in the Steinfurt district in the north of North Rhine-Westphalia . It is located southwest of Osnabrück in the Teutoburg Forest . The city center with many half-timbered houses is well worth seeing. Tecklenburg is located in the Tecklenburger Land region of the same name (Steinfurt district) in northern Westphalia . The name can be traced back to the Tecklenburg Castle in Tecklenburg and its lords from the Count's House of Tecklenburg . Furthermore, Tecklenburg was once the seat of government of the County of Tecklenburg and later the administrative seat of the former Tecklenburg district .
Due to the above-average well-preserved structure, which is comparable to the townscape of Rothenburg ob der Tauber , Tecklenburg is also known as the Westphalian Rothenburg . The historic city center, visible from afar, is listed as a historical monument , together with the visual axes of the city center and its silhouette . Other listed architectural monuments are included in the list of architectural monuments in Tecklenburg .

history
In the 13th and 14th centuries, the Counts of Tecklenburg temporarily owned church bailiffs over Münster and Osnabrück and were linked to the Counts of Bentheim and the Lords of Steinfurt through disputes with the neighboring dioceses and rulers, as well as inheritance and marriages in changing circumstances . They founded the Malgarten monastery in Bramsche . The tomb of Count Konrad von Tecklenburg († 1557), which was created by the sculptor Johann Brabender from Münster (Westphalia), is located in the Protestant parish church of Tecklenburg .
The counts owned, among other things, rulership rights, lands and castles in south-western Lower Saxony and in particular in the dominions of Lingen, Rheda and Limburg and on the Lower Rhine. The city of Tecklenburg was mentioned in a document in 1226 as a suburbium and in 1388 it was first named "stad". At the beginning of the 17th century it received its own town charter from Count Adolf von Bentheim-Tecklenburg . In 1707 Tecklenburg came under Prussian rule after the Kingdom of Prussia had bought the county and town.
The county of Tecklenburg belonged to the Lower Rhine-Westphalian Empire .
Below the south-western slope of the Teutoburg Forest is the moated Haus Marck castle , a manor house built in the 14th century, where the preliminary negotiations for the Peace of Westphalia took place in 1643 .
The most important economic factor in the 17th and 18th centuries was the production of the so-called Tecklenburger Löwendlinnen , coarse canvas that was sold in particular to England, the Netherlands and Spain.
After unsuccessful attempts to repair the castle, the Prussian government began to grind parts of the castle from 1744 onwards. After the end of the Napoleonic Wars, the Tecklenburg district was formed in 1815 .
On September 8, 1904, a large fire at the market destroyed five houses and two sheds. Due to the shortage of extinguishing water, the Tecklenburg waterworks was built, which was one of the forerunners of the Tecklenburger Land water supply association .
The city was the seat of the district administration until 1974. During the district and municipal area reform, which came into force on January 1, 1975, the localities of the Tecklenburg municipality ( Brochterbeck , Leeden , Ledde and Tecklenburg) were merged to form the town of Tecklenburg and the new district of Steinfurt from the Tecklenburg district and the old Steinfurt district educated.
Tecklenburg has been a state-approved climatic health resort since August 26, 1974 . Tecklenburg was recognized as a Kneipp spa on December 10, 1999.
Denomination statistics
According to the 2011 census , 49.0% of the population in 2011 were predominantly Protestant , 32.9% Roman Catholic and 18.1% were non-denominational , belonged to another religious community or did not provide any information. The number of Protestants and Catholics has fallen since then. As of December 31, 2017, 4,262 (45.0%) of the 9,472 inhabitants were Protestant, 2,965 (31.3%) Roman Catholic and 23.7% (2,245) either belong to another religion or are non-denominational.
particularities
Tecklenburg is one of the few localities in the Münsterland where the historic city center has largely been preserved. The Burg Tecklenburg , now called stage of Tecklenburg's outdoor theater is used in the Middle Ages because of its convenient location by a major mountain pass over the Osning controls and customs duties and charges could be required regionally important. Both the castle and the city were a base on the trade route Lübeck – Bremen – Münster – Cologne. At the same time, a section of the Way of St. James led over this pass, which the pilgrims of northern Europe used on their way to the tomb of the Apostle in Santiago de Compostela . The route via Tecklenburg was also recommended to the pilgrims to Rome.
The Grafenhaus, which belonged to the Reformed faith, supported the doctor Johann Weyer (or Wier) from Brabant , who was the first in Germany to speak out publicly against the persecution of witches. In particular, Countess Anna von Tecklenburg-Schwerin , who ruled from 1562 to 1580 and was a herbalist herself, promoted his work. The excesses of the burning of witches were thus prevented in the Tecklenburger territory. In 1588 Weyer died on the Tecklenburg. He was buried in the town church built between 1562 and 1566; In his memory, the Wierturm was built in 1884, the construction of which the Beautification Society wanted to shape the castle grounds.
Today the subject of witches is a tourist attraction in the city. The “Hexenpfad” circular hiking trail leads from the castle ruins over the so-called witch's kitchen, Roland's grave and past the Heidentempel after about five kilometers back to the city. Many legends and stories have been passed down about these places.
Two well-known Protestant theologians come from the Tecklenburg bourgeois family Krummacher , who strongly influenced the Lower Rhine revival movement . There are the brothers Friedrich Adolf Krummacher (1767–1845) - his parables, which were also reviewed by Goethe, were widespread throughout Germany and in translations in other European countries - and Gottfried Daniel Krummacher (1774–1837). The Krummacherstraße, the Krummacher house and the Krummacher school in Tecklenburg are reminiscent of Friedrich Adolf Krummacher.
Another famous son of the city is the theologian Friedrich von Bodelschwingh the Elder , who set up the V. Bodelschwinghsche Anstalten Bethel in Bielefeld .
The Leden patrician and aristocratic family probably came from the Leeden district and provided a mayor and two second mayors of the old town of Osnabrück in the Middle Ages . There they had their seat in Ledenhof , a stone factory with Palas and in the castle Ledenburg in Nemden .
Vineyard
Wine was already being grown on the southern slope of the Burgberg during the times of the Counts of Tecklenburg. In 1987, vines were planted again on the old vineyard . The first wine was made in 1989. For a short time in the 1980s, this vineyard was considered the northernmost in Germany. In the spring of 2015, vines of the red Regent variety were planted on the vineyard . The grapes of this variety were pressed for the first time in 2017.

Town twinning

coat of arms
A silver (white) shield divided by a blue bar with a golden (yellow) anchor. In the head of the shield two red lily pad and in the base of the shield a red lily pad.
The coat of arms of the city of Tecklenburg consists of two essential elements. The water lily leaves symbolize the bond with the county of Tecklenburg and come from the county coat of arms. The anchor was the symbol of the County of Lingen. How the anchor got into the city coat of arms is disputed, as there is no historical connection between the city of Tecklenburg and the county of Lingen. The county of Tecklenburg later included the Lingen anchor in the coat of arms to clarify the historical rights to these areas. It is therefore assumed that this symbolism will be used in the city arms. Many communities in the Tecklenburger Land have the water lily leaves or the anchor in their coat of arms.
