Where did an estate named Lengerke first appear?
Three location for this name are documented at the very latest in the 10th to 11th centuries.
1. Lengerich / Lengerke near Osnabrück.
2. The estates "Grosse und Lütke-Lengerich" in the former Haskenau in the fork of the Werse and Ems rivers, north of Münster (today leveled to the ground).
3. Salhof (Sadelhof) Lengerich near Lingen named Le(n)gerke in 981, Lengeri(s)chi around 1000, Leingercho in 1160. May be originally Lüngeeich, it is "timber rich". In the year 1269 a location and estate were called Lengerich, in 1500 Lengerke, which with time changed to Lengerich.
