Hövelhof
At the height of his power, Napoleon established the Kingdom of Westphalia, appointing his younger brother Jérôme Bonaparte (1784-1860) king. The latter signed in 1807 a decree by which Hövelhof obtained its independence as a municipality. Before this decree, which entered into force on January 1, 1808, Hövelhof was added to the peasantry of Ostland. This important event for Hövelhof was celebrated as part of the local jubilee in 2007 and 2008.
