history

After the battle of the Hartwarder Landwehr in 1514, the Oldenburg counts brought the Stadland and Butjadingen under control. Shortly afterwards the counts began to dam the Lockfleth at Ovelgönne . In the following decades the Lockfleth was pushed back further and further, the newly gained land was owned by the count and was avoided by him from farmers . This is how the Alserwurp settlement came into being, which was developed in the spirit of elder colonization . It was mainly the sons of Alser farming families who founded farms here that had no prospect of inheritance.

There is a legendary tradition from Ludwig Kohli for the Wurth farm belonging to Alserwurp , according to which it is the "remnant of a chief's seat that used to be there". The truth of this statement must be questioned. For Alserwurp one is Bauer letter of 1738 before.
