history

Local history

Ahrensmoor was founded as a moor colony in 1803 as part of the moor colonization . The reason for the foundation were disputes between Klethen and Ahrenswohlde , who was responsible for maintaining the Aue (Lühe) crossing in the course of the road between Hamburg and Bremen (now the intersection of L 127 Weststraße with Ahlerstedter Weg and Schuldamm). This led here on a dam on the edge of a moor area and was repeatedly in poor condition or even impassable. After the experiences with the moor colonization in the Great Moor near Bremervörde under Findorff , it was decided to found a moor colony. This should then take over the maintenance of the path. The first measurements were carried out in 1795, the foundation took place in 1803, but it took until 1814 for the foundation to be completed. 11 settler sites and a school site were created on the west side and 10 settler sites on the east side; this is how Ahrensmoor East and West were created, separated by Bültmoor and Scholermoor. The only connection back then was the Schuldamm.

A curiosity about this foundation was that it was decided in London's St James's Palace . The Elector of Hanover , Georg III. , was also King of England and resided exclusively in London.

The name Ahrensmoor is derived from Ahrenswohlde , in whose area Ahrensmoor was founded. Ahrenswohlde was located between forests ( -wohlde ), but the new foundation was between moors, hence Ahrensmoor .

The first school was built in 1817, the second in 1852. In 1912, Weststrasse was expanded with paving stones .

After the First World War a vigilante group was founded in Ahrensmoor ; but it only had one mission and was disbanded in 1920.

Ahrensmoor received its first power connection in 1919, and from 1923 from the overland plant. In 1961 the first water pipe was laid.

The voluntary fire brigade has existed in Ahrensmoor since 1935, and in 1990 they moved into a new fire station . School operations were finally stopped in 1991.

Incorporations

In 1955, Klein Ahlerstedt and a few other houses on the outskirts towards Harselah ( Depenrehmen ) and the Harselah farm were incorporated as Ahrensmoor-Nord .

Regional affiliation

Before 1885 Ahrensmoor belonged to the Börde Ahlerstedt in the district of Harsefeld , after 1885 to the district of Stade and since 1932 to the current district of Stade .
