Vohren
Vohren is a peasantry belonging to the city of Warendorf in the eastern Münsterland . The rural village has an area of 21.56 km² and in 2000 had around 650 inhabitants.
Geographical location
Vohren is located on the 8th meridian between Münster (approx. 32 kilometers), Bielefeld (approx. 35 kilometers), Osnabrück (approx. 38 kilometers) and Beckum (approx. 22 kilometers). The western neighbor of Vohrens is the district town of Warendorf, in the north the Ems forms the border. Neighboring community in the east is Beelen , in the south and southwest are Westkirchen and Freckenhorst neighbors.
The peasantry is cut by two federal highways and the Münster - Warendorf - Rheda railway line. A real community center does not exist. The farms of scattered settlement are usually by paved rural roads connected to the main transportation center.
The entire area of the municipality lies in the Emssand area at a height of between 62.5 m (Vohrener Höhe) and 55 m (Emsaue) above sea level. Two natural tributaries, Axtbach and Holzbach, and an artificial tributary, the Talgraben, drain the area with numerous smaller tributaries.
The Vohren peasantry is divided into further districts:
- Dooren: on the border to Beelen
- Düdinger Roorer: On the golf course
- Holperie: area around Uphaus and Herte
- Kiskerie: Area around Bückmann and Mielewerke
- Seggelort: Area around the Fartmann, Lackhove and Sechelmann farms
- Katzhagen: Area around the former school
history
The establishment of the peasantry cannot be documented. Probably a Brukterer - the Brukterer sat between Ems and Lippe - founded the first farm, which later became the main farm, Schulze Vohren. This farm is located at the intersection of the southern Emsuferweg ( B 64 - connection Münster - Rheda ) with the mouth of the Axtbach to the south as far as the ford. Here you could drive through the Axtbach.
With the introduction of the Westphalian rural community code in 1844, Vohren became a community in the Sassenberg district .
Surname
The name Vohren is probably derived from the Old Saxon verb “faran” = “to drive”, from the preterial stem for. The length of the ô caused the later insertion of the "h" in "Vohren". The Freckenhorster Heberolle writes the names of the farms Vohren (Vôrnon), Dütting (Duttinghuson), Sechelmann (Sahtinghêm), Kuckelmann (Kukonhêm) and Herte (Herithi). These farms, which still exist today, had to pay taxes to the Freckenhorst Abbey. Schulze Vohren and Sechelmann can also be found in the lifting register of the Mauritz Monastery near Münster.
building
The St. John's Chapel, which is a listed building, is a landmark building .
School history
From 1792 to 1837 at the latest, the granary on the Schulze Vohren farm was used as a school and official residence. Before that, a barn on Colon Sternberg's farm (today Schulze Relau) is said to have served as a school. In 1836/37 the community decided to build a new school. A wet area that was worthless for arable farming and originated from the trademark grounds of the municipality was chosen as the building site. It was the lowest point in the community; it had previously served as a cesspool. The adjacent heather area was cultivated, 28 ares of which were set up as a school garden, the remaining 60 ares were planted with bats and both were made available to the teacher.
The school building, built in half-timbered construction, was described by the teacher Heinrich Brokinkel (1857–1933):
- “On the whole, it is what one would expect from a building like this. The classroom is on the left. It is about 8 m long and 9 m wide, four windows to the east and four to the west provide the necessary light; the walls are papered. "
In the middle of the "classroom" there was a huge stove that the teacher had to light up before class began. He had to give some warmth, because the half-stone walls (12 cm thick) were not insulated and here and there were drilled in and through by students. The classroom was temporarily occupied with more than 100 students. Under the predecessor of the teacher Brokinkel, there was half-day school during the summer half-day , as the children's work on the farms was indispensable. But when the number of children rose to over 111, the half-day school was set up for the winter in 1878 with government approval.
Since the number of students was still very high, the royal government demanded the establishment of a second teaching post in the spring of 1896. Although the school was attended by 117 students in the summer, the community initially refused to expand the school with an extension. So, therefore, was half-day lesson introduced the advanced level was 20, the lower grades 12 hours a week. In 1897 the community decided to build a new classroom. The two-story extension was occupied in autumn 1898 and a teacher was also employed. An apartment was available for them above the new classroom.
In 1950 the school was expanded for the second time. This time through two more classrooms. The number of pupils had continued to grow through evacuees and displaced persons . In addition, the old building from 1837 no longer met the requirements of modern teaching. From then on it served as an alternative, gymnastics and play area. In 1969 the school, which had become a primary school in 1968, was closed.
