History

The castle Dinklage was built by the counts of the Dersagau of Calvelage around the year 980, the name Dinklage was first mentioned officially in 1231 (first as Thinclage, later Dynclage, till 1270 Dinklage) . In 1080 the castle was given to the "Herren von Dinklage" (Masters of Dinklage), as they were later called. Those tried to put up their own dominion in 1372, but were defeated by the bishop of Münster and their castle was destroyed. After the "Herren von Dinklage" had lost their influence, in 1667 the rebuilt castle was bought by the count Christoph Bernhard Graf von Galen, who was bishop of Münster at that time. In 1826 Matthias Graf von Galen signed a contract, which made Dinklage, which formally belonged to the diocese of Münster before, a part of the Großherzogtum Oldenburg (the lands of the diocese had been secularized after the war against Napoleon).
