On June 27, 1242, in the battle of Ermen on the Königs- and Guler-Heide, the nobles of Meinhövel fought with the allies, Counts of Flanders and Geldern, against the Bishop of Munster. The prince-bishop won and thus secured his claim to power. A memorial plaque erected in 1992 by the Heimatverein Ermen e.V. commemorates the battle.
