History
Rheda was first mentioned in documents from the year 1085, at the latest 1088. Rheda Castle was, from 1170 until 1807 or 1815, the manor house of the Manor of Rheda.
The Lordship was created from the Freigericht (free court or free jurisdiction) of Rheda and the Bernhard II, Lord of Lippe. Bernhard's successor, Hermann II, moved the seat of his lordship to Rheda Castle.[1]
On the death of
Bernhard V without an heir in 1364, the Lordship of Rheda was seized by Bernhard's son-in-law, Otto V, Count of Tecklenburg, unlike the rest of the Lippian inheritance, which passed to Simon III, brother of Bernhard V;[1][2] 130 years later, Tecklenburg reimbursed Lippe for this annexation with a payment of 7200 Rhenish gulden (German: Rheinischer Münzverein).[1]
From the Tecklenburger annexation, the lordship followed the path of that county. In the course of the
Allied Occupation powers, when it became a part of the newly created state of North Rhine-Westphalia.[1][3]
