Venne (Ostercappeln)
Venne has been part of the Ostercappeln municipality in the Osnabrück district since 1972 and was previously part of the Wittlage district .
history
Venne and his mill were first mentioned in a document from 1087. The farmers Broxten, Niewedde and Vorwalde not only formed the parish of Venne, but also the Bailiwick of Venne. From the 19th century until 1972, Venne was a joint municipality to which the three municipalities Broxten, Niewedde and Vorwalde belonged. The population rose from 650 inhabitants in 1650 to 2000 in 1848. Today almost 3000 people live in Venne. The first church was built in 1290; after the Thirty Years' War the parish of Venne became Lutheran. In 1847, today's Walburgis Church , built according to plans by the architect Quaet-Faslem , replaced the previous building. Vennes population lived mainly from agriculture. Many well - preserved half - timbered farms in scenic locations still bear witness to this today . Over half of the population consisted of hirers . This section of the population also formed the majority of the approximately 1500 emigrants who left Venne for America in the 19th century.
After the Second World War , Venne took in a large number of refugees and displaced persons . In 1950 they made up more than a quarter of the population. Many of them have made their home in Venne. At the beginning of the 1960s, the first new development area, the "Hiese" settlement, was designated. In the 1970s the Mühlenbach settlement and in the 1980s the building areas “Auf dem Kampe” and “In der Strothe” were added. With the influx of repatriates , Venne continued to grow. In the 1990s, the "Hedlage" building area was settled, and since autumn 1999 there has also been a lot of building activity in the youngest building area, "Am Esch".
economy
Important local employers are the construction company Schomaker, agriculture and the company Meyer zu Venne ("Waffel-Meyer"), which operates the largest ice cream cone factory in Europe in Venne . Around 3 billion waffles are produced there every year. The waste heat from this factory has been used to heat the village since the end of 2015. For this purpose, a community energy cooperative was founded, which set up a local heating network to which, in addition to several public buildings, around 150 households are connected (as of 2015). Using heat exchangers, the hot exhaust air produced in the factory is used to heat water, which circulates in pipes with a total length of 11 km and then supplies individual buildings. The cooperative was awarded a prize by the Climate and Energy Agency Lower Saxony for the project .
Association
The Venners find extensive leisure activities in over 30 clubs . The largest, the gymnastics and sports club Venne, has over 1,200 members. Other large clubs such as the Schützenverein (600 members) also do valuable youth work. The Venne Heimat- und Wanderverein is committed to maintaining the homeland.
