This article appears in Volume V16, Page 729 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LEO-LOB
LINGEN , a town in the Prussian province of Hanover, on the Ems canal, 43 M. N.N.W. of Munster by rail. Pop. 7500. It has iron foundries, machinery factories, railway workshops and a considerable
trade
  in cattle, and among its other
industries
  are weaving and malting and the manufacture of
cloth
 . Lingen was the seat of a university from 1685 to 1819.
The county of Lingen, of which this town was the
capital
 , was united in the middle ages with the county of Treklenburg. In 15o8, however, it was separated from this and was divided into an upper and a lower county, but the two were united in 1541.

A little. later Lingen was sold to the emperor Charles V., from whom it passed to his son, Philip II. of Spain, who ceded it in 1597 to
Maurice
 , prince of Orange. After the death of the
English
  king, William III., in 1702, it passed to Frederick I., king of
Prussia
 , and in 1815 the lower county was transferred to Hanover, only to be united again with
Prussia
  in 1866.
