history

Wadersloh was first mentioned in a document in 1187. Wadersloh as a parish with its farmers is much older. One can probably assume that the Wadersloh farmers and the location of the church go back to the Saxon-Franconian period (9th century). Until well into the Middle Ages, the Münsterland was a large wooded area with many small settlement islands. Usually there were a few courtyards that were within sight of each other. The main courtyard usually gave its name to such a settlement. Between these farm groups and their arable land lay the forest - this woodland is also behind the name ending -lo or -loe, which can also be found in many of the names of this area, including in the name Wadersloh.

The names Bozo and Bardo are considered to be the founders of the noble women's monastery and later Liesborn monastery . There is some evidence that they owned a main farm opposite the Stromberg, which gave the name of Bardesloe to a farming community. This name (by sound shift) Wardesloe must also have played a role in the founding of the church, because the church was called from the beginning (in writing) to Warsloe (1193), Wadersloe (1217), Wardesloe (1498). Wadersloh must have been a church village from the beginning, with the church as the center, from which the streets and church paths ran radially into the farmers.

The people were artisans and traders, who usually also ran a small farm themselves. When it slowly got warmer in the 11th and 12th centuries ( optimum climate ), the harvests were better and the population increased considerably; The inventions in agriculture also contributed to this. Cities (like Lippstadt) were founded and the church villages grew.

At the end of the 12th century, the administration of the Münster diocese was reorganized . Bishop Hermann II von Katzenelnbogen reorganized the parishes and made Wadersloh subordinate to the Archdeaconate of the Provost of St.Martini in Münster . A stone church was also built at this time.

The climatic optimum was followed in the 14th century by a “little ice age”, the harvests deteriorated and the plague decimated the population and struck villages and towns again and again in the following centuries. Many farms fell into disrepair and poverty and hunger spread. Feuds and wars did the rest. The border location of Wadersloh was a great disadvantage, troops passing through took what they could get, plundered and pillaged. At the beginning of the 19th century, large parts of the Münsterland were a poor house.

This situation improved with industrialization and the emergence of urban agglomerations. With the railway connection in 1898, the workplaces in Beckum and Lippstadt were also accessible. Until 1945, however, Wadersloh remained an agricultural village.

On April 1, 1898, the Benteler community was reorganized from Wadersloh.

Today's municipality Wadersloh was formed on January 1, 1975 from the formerly independent municipalities Wadersloh, Liesborn (without the municipality part Bad Waldliesborn ) and Diestedde . Before that, they belonged to the Wadersloh office , which was dissolved in 1975 .

Wadersloh coat of arms
 Blazon : "Above a golden (yellow), with half a red rose covered with a golden (yellow) pin, three golden (yellow) curved legs in red."
Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms awarded by the North Rhine-Westphalian Minister of the Interior on February 10, 1977 (together with the banner) reminds of the noble lords of Lippe , who were bailiffs of the Liesborn monastery , which is also reminiscent of the abbots who simultaneously refer to the three Point out districts. Half a rose already appeared in a Wadersloh church seal from 1538.
