Origin/meaning

The town was built around the castle built by the counts of Diepholz against the bishops of Münster. The castle was named Leuenforde (or Lion-ford), and the lion in the arms is derived from the lion of the counts of Diepholz. The arms were based on a 16^th century seal. The present name was adapted in the 18^th century to avoid confusion with Lauenförde.
