Lonneker (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈlɔnəkər]) is a village in Twente, in the province of Overijssel. It is located in the municipality of Enschede, about 3 km north of the city centre.

History

[edit]

The village was first mentioned in the late 10th century as "in Loningheri", and means "settlement on a sandy ridge of the people of Lono (person)".[3] Lonneker is an esdorp which developed in the Early Middle Ages.[4]

The Catholic St. Jacobus de Meerdere was built between 1911 and 1912 as a replacement for the 1820 church.[4] Lonneker was home to 1,546 people in 1840.[5]

In 1811, five marke [nl] (predecessor of municipality) were split into the municipalities of Lonneker and Enschede. Lonneker used to encircle Enschede. In 1884, a part of the municipality was given to the city.[4] It remained an independent municipality until 1934, when it became part of Enschede.[6]

In 1927, the 4th Anarchist Pinksterlanddagen or "pinkster-mobilisatie" where held in Lonneker. Amongst the speakers where T.Wessels, H. Schuurman and Albert de Jong. On the last day there was a demonstration that got stopped by police violence.[7]
