Did you know...?
In the 16th century the Freigraf held court twice a year at the Freistuhl Düdinghausen. There everything was negotiated, which gave it in the villages at conflicts. Theft of grain, for example, or if someone had stolen a pottery or a sheet.
Eight villages were subject to the jurisdiction that emanated from this place. It was a matter of establishing harmony again and again - important in those times when the villagers depended on each other for better or worse.
