History

Between 700 and 720 A.D. Saxonia and the area of today’s Flaesheim belonged to the Saxons. We know this as heathenish graves were found there. In 1166 count Otto 1st of Ravensburg donated a monastery to Flaesheim.

After count Otto 2nd of Ravensburg had given up his claim to the monastery of Flaesheim, it went into the possession of the archbishop of Cologne.

Maria of Kettler donated a new high altar to the monastery, which was designed by the sculptor Gerhard Gröninger from Münster.

A school is mentioned for the first time in 1717 and the first schoolhouse was built in 1799. In 1803 the monastery went into the possession of the duke of Arenberg, who gave it away in 1808.

Since 17 October 1920 Flaesheim has it’s own auxiliary fire brigade. Electricity came to Flaesheim and on 14th of June in 1939 the coats of arms of Flaesheims were specified. Since the first January of 1975 the municipality of Flaesheim is a local part of the city of Haltern. Before it was administrated by the town of Datteln.
