On January 1, 1973, the district of Gütersloh was formed from the districts of Halle (Westf.) and Wiedenbrück, as well as the city of Harsewinkel and the municipality of Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock. However, the path to its establishment was not without conflict. How did the discussions unfold? Where was there support and who opposed it? Who considered the founding to be a "bad play" and who viewed it as the "best possible solution"? How much decision-making power did the involved districts and municipalities have? This book addresses these questions on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the district of Gütersloh. "We should stop pretending that in Bielefeld the dear Lord himself is sitting and in Wiedenbrück the embodiment of Satan is present." With these vivid words, the then CDU parliamentary group leader Friedrich Blotenberg addressed the members of the Halle district council to temper the emotionality of the debate. The political discussions surrounding the founding of the district of Gütersloh were at times quite intense. It was by no means certain that a district of Gütersloh would emerge in its current form. Decision-makers also considered a district of Wiedenbrück-Beckum and a district of Halle-Bielefeld. Why not assign Schloss Holte-Stukenbrock to the district of Paderborn, Versmold to the district of Warendorf, or Werther to the city of Bielefeld?.
