Über Blasheimer, Obermehner und Stockhauser Geschichte(n) aus fünf Jahrhunderten
The occasion for publishing this 350-page volume is the 50th anniversary, on the 1st of January 2023, of the governmental reorganisation of North Rhine-Westphalia through which the municipality of Blasheim, after centuries of belonging to Preußisch Oldendorf, became a part of the city of Lübbecke. The author does not present a linear chronicle of Blasheim [first named in written sources in 969 A.D.] and the hamlets of Obermehnen and Stockhausen, but instead highlights selected aspects which have hitherto not been written about, or only briefly mentioned. Examples include 19th century alcohol misuse, the cantor and school reformer Schrader, the secession of the Selbststandige Evangelisch-Lutherische Kirche [Autonomus Evangelical-Lutheran Church] from the Prussian Union of Churches, the conflict between the NSDAP and Pastor Blankenstein, and Denazification.
