history

historical development

Wellingholzhausen was once a "subtropical coastal town". Millions of years ago, dinosaurs left their stamps in the Osnabrück region (in Bad Essen- Barkhausen, from one of the smallest dinosaurs in the neighboring town of Borgholzhausen ). A new sensational find was announced in 2005. An iguanodon's footstep has been found in the northern neighboring municipality of Hilter - Borgloh . These dinosaur tracks are prehistoric legacies from when the Osnabrück area still had a subtropical climate and a shallow sea covered large areas.

The first people lived in the parish of Wellingholzhausen long before the birth of Christ. Archaeological finds testify to this. So were z. B. near the Osterbach, in today's Osterfeldsiedlung, a club of rubble (8th to 4th millennium BC), or in Handarpe an ax from the 4th millennium BC. Found. Other witnesses from the Neolithic Age (4000–1700 BC) are barrows that can be found in the Wellingholzhausen municipality. Urns from the Bronze Age (1000 BC) have also been found in Wellingholzhausen and the surrounding farmers.

The first permanent settlement occurred between 700 and 500 after the birth of Christ.

Presumably in the year 9 AD, the general Varus and his legions marched north through the Grönegau . Through the transverse valleys (Döhren) of the Teutoburg Forest and the Wiehengebirge he came on the way back west to the area of ​​the Kalkrieser Senke, where his army was defeated by Arminius (Hermann the Cheruscan).

Van Holthuson Ekkiko thritlich muddi havoron, Tiziko an themo selvon tharpa et linem lakan, that si fiftein penningo worth. This information about the income of the Freckenhorst Monastery, written down in Old Low German, can be found in the so-called “Freckenhorster Heberolle” from 1050. In today's wording, they say that “Ekkiko from Holzhausen 30 bushels of oats and Tiziko from the same village a linen sheet, that 15 pfennigs should be worth “to deliver to the monastery. According to this, the place Wellingholzhausen would be documented 40 years before the previously assumed mention in the deed of donation of the bailiff Eberhard from the year 1090. However, the identity of the "Holthuson" mentioned in 1050, in contrast to the "Holthusun" of 1090 with the community first named "Wellincholthusen" in 1160, is not yet fully established.

Excerpt from the deed of donation: July 17, 1090: Item preter ecclesiam dedit Holthusun cum omnibus ad ipsam iure attinentibus et eo pacto, ut pro anima et remedio peccatorum suorum monachis sancti Clementis ad supplementum praebendae in perpetuam aliquo possession. Daretur, etiam si supersto ipsite superventuro precaria ipsainfringeretur . The brothers Eberhard, the noble bailiff of the Osnabrück church, and Liudolf carry goods to the Osnabrück church in Icker, Borgwedde, Felsen, Venne, Schwagstorf, Darum, Borgloh and Astrup zu Lehn and donate the church to (Welling-) Holzhausen to the Iburg monastery, For this they each receive 5 pounds of tithes in wages for life, without being obliged to serve. However, Eberhard is supposed to give 2 denarii ( wax interest ) to the altar of St. Peter. At the same time an agreement is reached on the hereditary bailiwick in the family.

Further historical data:

  • from 700: Settlement by the Saxons on the Haseniederungen
  • from 800: A Meyerhof was established at the Osterbach during the Frankish period

  • 1856–1861: New construction of today's St. Bartholomew Church
  • Beginning of the 20th century: the village expanded further
  • after 1945: Development of further settlements around the old town center and an industrial area
  • 1970: Foundation of the single community Wellingholzhausen
  • 1972 (July 1st): The attempt to form a joint municipality with the places Borgloh (today the municipality of Hilter aTW) and Gesmold (today the city of Melle) fails. Wellingholzhausen and its farmers become a part of the city of Melle.
