Akelsbarg is a part of the municipality of Großefehn in the Aurich district in East Frisia in Lower Saxony .

In 1787 the colonist Hinrich Hinrichs Jauken from Felde was given three diemat “Land from the wilderness” on today's border to Holtrop for cultivation on a long lease .

Around 1870, a pile dam, a so-called club dam or spetze, was uncovered near the peat ditch on the municipal boundary of Felde and Akelsbarg. The pile dam connected the Auricherland with the Friedeburgerland. The path is said to have led via Tunge past the Wiesedermeer, via Barkebusch to Wiesede.

At first, the Akelsbarg colony belonged politically to the municipality of Felde and the parish of Holtrop . On July 1, 1912, the Akelsbarg colony was separated from Felde and became politically independent as the municipality of Akelsbarg.

In 1870 Akelsbarg got its own school. With the community reform, which came into force on July 1, 1972, Akelsbarg was incorporated into the community of Großefehn. The school building has served as a village community center since 1978. The local Akelsbarg-Felde-Wrisse fire brigade of the Großefehn volunteer fire brigade is also located in the former school building (with an attached vehicle hall) . She provides fire protection and general help, especially at local level.
