- Administrative/biographical history:
- The Lower County of Lingen was divided in 1819 into the two administrative districts of Lingen and Freren. The administrative district of Freren included the parishes of Lengerich, Thuine, Freren, Schapen, Beesten and Messingen. After the end of French rule, a Prussian provisional government commission with headquarters in Münster took over governmental power in the former Lower County of Lingen in November 1813. The Lingen administrative duties at sub-prefectory or district council level was assumed by privy war and domain councillor Mauve. As last agreed at the Vienna Congress 1815, Prussia ceded the Lower County of Lingen to the Kingdom of Hannover. The Hannover high appellate court judge von Stralenheim first transferred the administration to a provisional administrative commission headed by the Fürstenau administrative official (Landdrost) von Boeselager. Only on 1 July 1819 was the official constitution introduced and the area divided into the two administrative districts of Lingen and Freren. Since there was no administrative building in Freren, the seat of the administrative district remained in Lingen, and an early reincorporation of the area was considered. Only after the consolidation of the administrative district of Lingen by incorporation of the district of Emsbüren (1826), until then under rule of the state sovereign, the permanent establishment of the administrative district of Freren was advanced. The district administration moved into the newly constructed building in May 1832. In 1847 the bailiwick of Thuine was united with the one in Freren. As in the other Hanoverian administrative districts, the judiciary was separated from the administration in 1852 and transferred to a district court. In this form, the Freren administrative district remained also in the Prussian period from 1866 until the district administrative order took effect in 1885, at which time it was merged in turn into the district or administrative district office of Lingen.
