history

The first written mention of the place took place in 1312. As Abbahuasne , the village was a kind of "suburb" for the medieval Butjadingen - Stadland , but this can no longer be documented, as well as the existence of the so-called "Rüstringer Ark of the Covenant" in Abbehausen .

From 1334 to 1450 Abbehausen, sometimes also written as 'Obbehusen', was between the ancestor as the first and the Heete as the second border river between Stadland and Butjadingen . In the 17th century it was the seat of an Oldenburg bailiwick . In the 19th century it was replaced by Ellwürden as the seat of the Abbehausen Office , then the Stollhamm Office and finally, until 1933, the Butjadingen Office .

On March 1, 1974, the previously independent community of Abbehausen with the 14 farmers was incorporated into the urban area of Nordenham .

The international North Sea coast cycle route ( Great Britain , Netherlands , Germany , Denmark and Norway ), inaugurated on May 5, 2001, runs through the town.

In Abbehausen is the historic department store , which was founded by Johann Hermann Büsing on May 12, 1853 as a general store in the former post office building on the postal route Ovelgönne – Abbehausen– Stollhamm . While museum exhibits are presented on the upper floors, there is still a shop with over 3,000 everyday items on the ground floor.

politics

As the only district in the city of Nordenham, Abbehausen still has a local council. This comprises 15 seats. In the last local council election in 2016, 6 seats were won by the CDU, 5 by the SPD and 2 by the FDP. One seat was given to WIN (Nordenham voters' initiative) and a single councilor. The local mayor is Tobias Thormählen from the CDU.

The St. Laurentius Church to Abbehausen was built between 1858 and 1862 on the foundation walls of the previous building from the second half of the 13th century.

Ludwig Münstermann signed the baptismal font of the church around 1628 as his work. The sculptor used the cuppa of a Romanesque baptismal font presumably on site as a base and thus turned the baptismal font over. Münstermann had already done this in Eckwarden in 1616 .

The parish had a lot of bad luck with the purchase of a new bell in the 17th century. The piece caster Peter Vielters from Bremen failed three times to cast the Marienglocke after it cracked in 1670. The first attempt failed immediately because the liquid metal was insufficient to fill the mold. Then there was a gathering in the community. Almost 1000 pounds of metal came together from "Kessel, Pott und Zinnen Gut". But the second attempt also failed. The melt broke the mold. On the third attempt, he finally managed to make a bell - with a sound that could not be otherwise described as pathetic. The subsequent process of the parish against Vielters lasted 22 years. Then the gunmaker Ditmar Ramien from Oldenburg failed to cast the bell twice . Only the bell founder Otto Struve (also Strufe ) from Hamburg in 1695 provided the sounding today Marie bell .

Arp Schnitger built the organ for the parish in 1713. In the chronicles it is said that he did not really deserve it, but put his artistry in their service out of solidarity with the community. In the same year, Schnittger married the sexton's widow for the second time .

On July 29, 1951, the then bishop of the Oldenburg Church, Wilhelm Stählin, gave the parish its winged altar in a festive service . It is a special feature of this retable that it can show three different views - so-called changes. It was a gift in memory of the last Prime Minister of the Free State of Oldenburg Theodor Tantzen , who was based in the Abbehaus parish. The work comes from the painter Erich Klahn . The body, the wings and their three-dimensional representations - all made of wood - were made in the workshop of the Lübeck sculptor Heinrich Dose. Klahn created the templates for this, as well as the paintings of the interior.
