Location of Ahausen in Lower Saxony

Ahausen is the smallest part of the Lower Saxon community Weyhe in the Diepholz district . Ahausen has almost 200 inhabitants.

Geography and description

The village is located between Dreye and Riede ( Verden district ) on the main L 331 road on the left of the Weser to Bremen .

The first letter A comes from the Middle Low German Aha / Ahe and means water / electricity . A-hausen means “(by the) houses by the water” - the village was located in front of the Weser straightening directly on the old Weser bend, and this is where the name Alte Weser comes from, which is still the largest lake .

Ahausen is divided into the old village center north of Landstrasse, which is characterized by its farms located along Ahauser Strasse , but most of which ceased operations towards the end of the 20th century. The Bei der Ziegelei settlement is south of the main street . Ahausen has neither shops, bars nor public facilities, but every few years a harvest festival on one of the two remaining farms and an Easter bonfire somewhere in the wide march behind the dike .

There, behind the Weserdeich towards Dreye, already on Sudweyher area, there is a marina in Wieltsee , a quarry pond with River access. At the exit to Riede, a road branches off to the Am Bollerholz campsite . This is very quiet in a bend in the Weser. Furthermore, Ahausen has several bathing lakes and a few "mini-beaches" on the Weser, which is now quite clean and slowly flowing again.

The small French cave on the outskirts of Riede is a special lake . It was created as a scour after a dike breached. Legend has it that two Napoleon's soldiers broke in and drowned there one winter while chasing a girl with their heavy horses.

history

Ahausen is characterized by agriculture . Ahusen was first mentioned in a document in 1250 . In the 1970s, the only two commercial operations, the brickworks and the wheelwright , closed, some of whose equipment and products can be viewed in the museum village of Cloppenburg and in the local museum in Syke .

Ahausen also had its own school from 1683 to 1969. She was initially housed in the house of the Brinkitzer Koch. From 1838 there was an independent school building, which was destroyed in 1945 during World War II. Rebuilt in 1949, the school closed in 1969. The Ahaus children were then educated in Sudweyhe.

In 1974 the village became part of the community Weyhe due to the regional reform. Ahausen was previously part of the Sudweyhe community.

Since 2008 the children of the districts of Ahausen and Dreye have been allowed to visit the KGS Kirchweyhe. This school is now a mainstream school.

Population development

On December 31, 2005, Ahausen had 187 inhabitants. This makes Ahausen the Weyher district with the lowest number of inhabitants. With an average age of 45.77 years in 2009 - that was exactly 3 years more than Weyhe - Ahausen is by far the district with the oldest population in the entire municipality. The neighboring district of Dreye with its new building areas, on the other hand, has the youngest population on average at 41.06 years of age. Ahausen is the district with the most rapidly decreasing population in Weyhe. From 1999 to 2009 it decreased by more than 10% - a value that only the small Jeebel almost reaches in the community. In contrast, the two large districts of Kirchweyhe and Leeste are growing by 4% and 2% respectively.

  • SPD 32% - CDU 27.3% - GREEN 16% - Die Linke.WASG 14.1% - FDP 9.4%
