etymology

The Wadel in the place name Wadelheim comes either from the Germanic god Wodan or it can be derived from the Low German word water (water); The -heim , on the other hand, is a common part of place names . The Wadelheim peasantry is mentioned as Wathalhem in a certificate from a Countess Reinmod von Cappenberg around 1000 AD . Around the year 1400, a register called it Wadelheim. In between, names like Wodanheim and Wadelhem appeared.

history

In 1677 the Thiekluse, a small chapel , was built. Around 1800 the peasantry had almost 40 houses and almost 250 inhabitants. A school was opened around 1800, and school operations ceased in 1979. Today there is a kindergarten in the building.

In 1897 the Wadelheimer Chaussee was built, which ran through the northern part of Wadelheim.

In 1905 Wadelheim was connected to the newly built Ochtrup – Rheine railway with its own train station. Passenger traffic ended in September 1969. In 1988, freight traffic, which last only ran to Wettringen , was discontinued. The route now serves as a cycling and hiking trail.

Wadelheim's affiliation changed several times between 1800 and the 1970s. The Rheine office was founded around 1840, to which Wadelheim belonged until 1974, and on April 1, 1927, part of Wadelheim was spun off and assigned to the city of Rheine.

Today Wadelheim is a district that is used both for agriculture and as a residential area close to the city.

The Randelbach rises in Wadelheim , which flows through Wadelheim and Bentlage and flows into the Ems after about 5.9 km .
