The place must be very old, as already 819 St. Andrew's Church is first mentioned. The church said to have been founded by the missionary Liudger, the Bühren created a flophouse quarters for his trips to Friesland. The town lay in the borders of Venkigau and Bursibant. It so happens that the essential parts of the village were expected to Bursibant, but some also for Venkigau. For " parish Emsbueren " - short " Kespel " derived from Kerkspell - were formerly 14 farming communities that managed to some extent self and that developed differently: Some are peasantry remained, others have evolved into separate places.

Since the 13th century Emsbueren belonged to the upper pin Münster. In Emsbueren existed alongside the Gogericht, which was exclusively responsible for the parish Emsbueren nor a royal ducal free dish that was responsible for the freedom Emsbueren and Schepsdorf. Although the Gogericht Emsbueren belonged to the Official Rheine - Bevergern, but was regarded as self-employed. However, since these Gogericht has always pledged to the Counts of Bentheim, this ultimately exercised from the jurisdiction. The activity of the target farm (Table Hofstraße, Judge Esch) is confirmed by numerous sources and a court seal ( 1591 ). The Richthof should have been the place that Liudger used as a stopover on the way to his mission areas on the Ems estuary.

Due to political changes during the reign of Napoleon, the possessions of the directional Court arrived at the beginning of the 19th century, first to the Duke of Looz - Corswarem, who resided at Schloss Bentlage at Rheine. In the following years the parish changed hands several times sovereign. In the reorganization of Europe at the Vienna Congress in 1815, it was assigned to the Kingdom of Hanover and 1866 Prussian province. There belonged to the Official Lingen, after the Prussian annexation of Hanover to the district Lingen, the 1977 part of the district of Emsland.

Emsbueren gave parts of Ahlde and Mehringen of salt mountains, Listrup came to the new community Emsbueren.

In Leschede near the railway station, there, where once trade routes crossed from Holland on the Emsfähre to the east and to the north of Munster, was a simple chapel, a foundation dating from 1683.
