Bentheim-Tecklenburg
Bentheim-Tecklenburg was a German district based in the region around Tecklenburg in northern North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Bentheim-Tecklenburg emerged as a partition of the County of Bentheim in 1277, and was partitioned between itself and Bentheim-Lingen in 1450. Count Conrad converted his County to Lutheranism in 1541. In 1557, it was inherited by Bentheim-Steinfurt.
