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<sup>th</sup> century seal. The present name was adapted in the 18<sup>th</sup> century to avoid confusion with [[Lauenförde]]. | The town was built around the castle built by the counts of Diepholz against the bishops of Münster.
