Location of Langwedel in the district of Verden

Langwedel [ ˈlaŋˌveːdl̩ ] is a municipality and a patch in the Verden district in Lower Saxony . The name is derived from a district in the south-east of the large municipality.

geography

location

Langwedel is located in the northern Central Weser region in the south-eastern greater Bremen area. To the north is the Achim-Verdener Geest , which is part of the Stader Geest natural area . The 53rd parallel north of the country runs through the municipality.

Community structure

The single municipality Flecken Langwedel consists of the following localities:

Daverden (13.005 km²)
Etelsen (with Cluvenhagen and Hagen-Grinden as well as Giersberg and Steinberg ) (23.874 km²)
Haberloh (5.404 km²)
Holtebüttel (with Dahlbrügge, Nindorf, Schülingen and Overing and Förth) (8.492 km²)
Langwedel (with Langwedelermoor) (7.619 km²)

Overall, Langwedel thus encompasses a largely closed settlement area along the northern bank of the Weser. This is part of a larger, closed settlement band that extends from Verden via Langwedel and Achim to Bremen.

In all localities there is a local council with a local mayor, except in Haberloh: here a local mayor represents the interests of the population.

history

Village / Flecken Langwedel

The village of Langwedel was first mentioned in a document in 1226. Langwedel was allowed to use the name Flecken as early as the Middle Ages , which guaranteed not only market rights, but also the civil status of the town's citizens.

Langwedel Castle

The castle, generally referred to as "Schloss Langwedel" in old documents, was founded around 1250 in a strategically important location on the military and trade route between Verden Abbey and the Archdiocese of Bremen .

The long Wedeler castle at the entrance was around 1222 by the Bremen Archbishop Gerhard II. First as Wasserburg been built, but was continually changed and expanded. In 1376 Archbishop Albert II pledged the castle to the Bremen cathedral chapter and the city of Bremen . After the Thirty Years War , the plant fell to Sweden in 1648. In the Swedish-Brandenburg War from 1675 to 1676, the Swedish Langwedel was conquered in a campaign by the army of the Catholic-Münster Prince-Bishop von Galen on September 27, 1675 as an ally of the states of the Holy Roman Empire and Denmark and remained an allied property until the end of the war in 1679 . In the course of the Peace of Saint-Germain in 1679, Langwedel fell back to Evangelical-Protestant Sweden until 1712. The castle is said to have been torn down by soldiers from Münster in 1675, which is not the case according to documentary records. Around 1770 the fortifications are still shown in the Kurhannoverschen Landesaufnahme . The remains that are still visible were probably destroyed from 1866 when the facilities came into the possession of Prussia .

Until 1906 there was a windmill owned by the local miller family Rehbock on the castle hill.

The "Burg-Bad Langwedel" (outdoor pool), which was extensively renovated in 2006/2007 from Flecken Langwedel, has been located here since 1964.

Place name

The place name is a combination of Low German "long" and the basic word "wedel". The latter means "shallow place to wade over", Norwegian for example "val, vaul" for "shallow fjord place". There is an ancient relationship with watt, wading and Latin "vadum" for "ford". The naming evidently referred to an elongated ford. The place name Langwedelermoor is derived from Langwedel. There are many well-known "-wedel-" place names, such as Salzwedel , Veddel or Wedel.

Incorporations

The amalgamation of the previous communities of Daverden, Etelsen, Haberloh, Holtebüttel, Langwedel (Flecken) and Völkersen to form a single community of Langwedel came into effect on July 1, 1972. The new large municipality was named after Langwedel, although at that time it was only the second largest municipality with a population that was about half as large as that of the previously independent municipality Etelsen.
