history

Reckenfeld emerged from a former ammunition depot at the end of the First World War. In November 1916, the Prussian War Ministry in Berlin decided to build an ammunition depot between the Max Clemens Canal and the Münster-Rheine railway line for the interim storage of close combat weapons. The depot was given the name "Melee Weapons Depot Hembergen". Only later did the name Reckenfeld come into being.

The "Hembergen" depot consisted of four individual depots with the designations A, B, C and D and a nine-track siding. Even today, the individual depots can be distinguished by the street names. In block A, the streets were named after poets, in B you will find the tree and flower streets, in C the river names are located and in block D the birds took care of the naming.

A total of 208 sheds were built in the four individual depots, 23 kilometers of standard-gauge tracks and 33 kilometers of ditches were laid, and several administration buildings were erected. At times, more than 1,000 people worked on the construction of the depot, including prisoners of war from different nations. Ammunition was still stored at the end of the war in 1918, but no train left the depot to rearm the western front.

After the end of the First World War, families from the former Eastern territories moved to the depot to find work and living space. Some settlers bought the sheds, fulfilling their desire for property. The sheds have been painstakingly converted into dwellings with electricity and plumbing. The first paths and roads emerged from the railway tracks.

This is how the livable and lovable settlement of Reckenfeld developed from a former ammunition depot over the years.
