History

The name comes from the Lindhorst "Linde", an increase in the historical Dülwald, which was increasingly cleared in the 13th century for a number of village settlements the plant. Also Lindhorst and the other places in the municipality are first mentioned at this time.

Sparsely settled, the area was but since prehistoric times, and some villages, such as Lindhorst, probably have their origin in the period of Frankish rule in the 9th and 10th centuries.

The small settlements in the municipality developed only slowly. Only the improvement of infrastructure through the construction of the railway line between Hanover and Minden in 1847 with the Lindhorster station and the Mittelland Canal in 1916 with the channel port Sachsenhagen brought a slight upturn. Agriculture was often the only source of income. In Ottensen a brick was built, were fired in the stones that were known for their exceptional hardness.
