Dingden is a district of the town of Hamminkeln. In addition to the village of Dingden, the village also includes the farming communities of Berg, Nordbrock, Lankern and the village farmers' association.
In 1161, the knight Gerlach, a member of the noble family of Dingden, was mentioned in a document. Several descendants call themselves Sueder. Sueder I took part in the Crusade of Damietta in 1217. In Egypt, he donated his main farm in Lankern to the Teutonic Knights. The people of Dingden became ministeriales of the Prince-Bishop of Münster, court officials of the episcopal administration. Important documents of the bishop, who in the meantime had become a strong secular ruler, bore the signature of a lord from Dingden. There were great tensions between the Prince-Bishop of Münster and the Duke of Cleves for a long time. The people of Dingden got caught up in this conflict and increasingly lost influence and possessions.
