The estate Oedingberge (berge = salvaged, bergen; Oden = lonely) is a manor between Ostbevern and Schwege in the municipality of Glandorf am Oedingberger Bach.
The later knight's estate emerged from a former Schultenhof and was first mentioned as a court in Odenberge in 1268. In the 15th century, the farm was known as the Oldenberge. In 1743, the court clerk Bernhard Friedrich Henseler was appointed as the independent clerk on the farm, which was owned by the Bishop of Münster. In 1753, ownership was converted into a leasehold. Anna Luise Henseler († 1797), a daughter of Bernhard Friedrich Henseler, brought the farm into her marriage in 1761 to the hirer of the Harkotten estate Johann Heinrich Westendorf († 1821). At this time the manor house was built. Their daughter Franziska Karonline Westendorf († 1865) brought the court in 1803 into the marriage to the lawyer Ignaz Engelen († 1837). Ignaz Engelen replaced the hereditary lease in 1817, so that the farm was transferred to him as free property. He was succeeded by his son Ferdinand Engelen († 1873), who was married to Selma Warneke. In addition, Ignaz Engelen was the father of Julie Engelen (1805-1898), the wife of the politician Ludwig Windthorst (1812-1891). Ferdinand Engelen was succeeded by his son Carl Friedrich Engelen (1859–1936), who was allowed to include the Oedingberge court in the register of the state-owned estates of the Principality of Osnabrück in 1884. In 1885 the estate was officially accepted into the Osnabrück knighthood and has been known as the Rittergut Oedingberge ever since. In 1924, Karl Engelen, the son of Carl Friedrich Engelen and his wife Maria Linnemann, took over the estate.
The estate had hunting, fishing and trademark rights, as well as a mill shelf. In addition, permission to build a chapel was granted in 1767, which was confirmed by the Pope in 1860.
Unfortunately, it is somewhat hidden behind high hedges. The later manor came from a former Schultenhof and was first mentioned in 1268 as a court in Odenberge.
