Eversburg

On the north side, Eversburg borders on the district of Büren in the municipality of Lotte, in North Rhine-Westphalia. It also borders on the Osnabrück districts of Pye, Hafen, Westerberg and Atter (in a clockwise direction).

This formerly infertile area – through which a stream today known as the Landwehrbach flows – was once the site of the Hof Eversfeld (Eversfeld estate) which belonged to the nobleman Hermann von Blankena; in 1223 he sold it to the cathedral chapter of Osnabrück. Continuous disputes with the counts of Tecklenburg necessitated the establishment of a territorial army in Osnabrück and the fortification of the estate around 1300. The cathedral chapter converted the Hof Eversfeld into a moated castle, whose trenches were supplied from the river. From this point onwards the estate became known as Eversburg; this name was first mentioned in civic records in 1383.^[1]

The Evangelical church St. Michaeliskirche (St. Michael's Church), the Catholic church Liebfrauenkirche Eversburg (Church of Our Lady), a Serbian Orthodox church, and a mosque are located in Eversburg.^{[citation needed]} As a result of the city's troubled economic situation, the district library is under threat of closure.^{[citation needed]}

There is a local recreation area in the south-west of the district (along with the Rubbenbruchsee).
