Gremmendorf
Gremmendorf is probably less than 200 years old and thus one of Münster's younger villages. On a contemporary map from the year 1763, the village is not to be found yet. The village emerged from a small settlement around the farmstead Gremme in the farming community Delstrup, which belongs, together with the farming communities Geist and Mecklenbeck to the rural community Lamberti and to the Amt Mauritz. Due to the town extending in the year 1903, Delstrup was incorporated into the Münster town area. With effect from the 1st of October 1903, the line Münster - Neubeckum of the Westphalian state railway was opened with a stop at the Erbdrostenweg, which was named Gremmendorf. In the following years, this name replaced the old description Delstrup more and more. The railway cafe 'Waldesruh', today Heuckmann House, which was constructed in 1905 at the Gremmendorfer Weg, was made the new railway stop at the same year.
In the following years, several residential houses were constructed around the Gremmendorfer Weg, supported also by the conversion of the Loddenheide in an absolute military base and the construction of the aerial message barracks at the Albersloher Weg in 1936. From 1920 forward one distinguished between 'Alt-Gremmendorf' (farms around the Erbdrostenweg) and 'Neu-Gremmendorf' in the area of the newly created housing estate at the Gremmendorfer Weg. After the 2nd World War, the barracks were taken over by the British occupying power, who constructed more housing residences for their soldiers. But the dwelling density increased continuously also in 'Alt-Gremmendorf', especially at the Albersloher Weg new houses were built. In 1975, Gremmendorf was incorporated into the district southeast in the course of the amalgamation of communes.
Culturally, Gremmendorf offers a carnival club, which is called K.-G. Pängelanton. Connected to this are the Niederdeutsche Heimat-Bühne (low-Saxon local stage) and a sports club, the SC Gremmendorf from 1946. Heinrich Löwe could be named as an outstanding personality as the founder and Hermann Treff as long-standing chairman of the village and shooting association, Otto Hersing as submarine-captain in the First World War as well as Franz and Josef Horstmann as co-founder of the SC Gremmendorf from 1946.
