Ostbevern borders Ladbergen, Lienen, Glandorf (in Lower Saxony), Warendorf, Telgte and Greven.

Presumably in the 12th century the parish Bevern was split into Ostbevern and Westbevern (which is now part of Telgte).

Since 1810 it then belonged to the French Empire, until Ostbevern was assigned to prussia again at the Congress of Vienna.

After the local elections of 2014, the 26 seats of the municipal council are distributed like this: Ostbeverns twins the city Loburg in Saxony-Anhalt.

Another beautiful sight is the moated castle Loburg, in which there is today an episcopal school.
