history

According to legend, Count Gevehard from Stotel married his daughter to an Oldenburg count . Land dignitaries served as a dowry and appeared as an external property of Oldenburg between 1273 and 1278. For a former affiliation of the Landwürder Wesermarsch to Stotel, their layout within the entire march line west of Stotel and the fact that the Osterholz monastery gave the tithes of Wiemsdorf and Wührden to the Stotelers and not the Oldenburgers as fiefs . After the Battle of Golzwarden in 1408, in which Count Christian VI. of Oldenburg was captured by the Bremen people, Oldenburg had to lease land dignitaries to Bremen because it could not pay the required ransom of 2000 marks. Until 1511 the area remained under Bremen administration.

The villages of Landworth formed a unit early on. In the 19th century, the community of Dedesdorf consisted of the farming communities Buttel (i.e. the Oldenburg part of Büttels), Dedesdorf, Eidewarden, Maihausen, Oldendorf, Overwarfe, Reitmoor, Ueterlande and Wiemsdorf. On January 1, 1936, it was renamed Landwürden. Land Dignities was also the name of an office that became part of the Brake Office in 1879 , one of the forerunners of the Wesermarsch Office (1933–1939). From 1939 until the regional reform in 1974 , the places belonged to the Wesermarsch district . The connection to the Wesermarsch was made by a ferry, which has now been replaced by the Weser tunnel . Since March 1st, 1974 the area of the former municipality Landwürden belongs to the municipality Loxstedt. Dedesdorf, Eidewarden, Maihausen, Overwarfe, Ueterlande, Wiemsdorf and parts of Büttels (Buttel) are still grouped together in the Landwürden district.

coat of arms

The drawing of the municipal coat of arms of the former municipality of Landwürden comes from the heraldist Manfred Furchert .

Blazon : "In Gold of St. Lawrence in silver robe; holdinga red grate in his right hand; in the left a silver open book and a green lily ; top right and left a floating eight-pointed silver star . "

Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms was not made according to the heraldic color rules (→ see: Tinging - heraldic color rules ) . The silver Saint Lawrence , the book and the stars should not be arranged on a gold background! The coat of arms of the Landwürden was created from a seal image that dates back to 1285 and is the oldest in the Oldenburg region. The heraldic stylized lily, which appears in a seal image from 1555 and can also be interpreted as a scepter, is an unusual attribute of the saint ; actually the attributes of the saint are the rust, the book and a palm branch. After 1933 the seal image should be changed. This did not happen, however, and in 1946 the State Archives in Oldenburg campaigned to keep the old picture. It was not possible to determine when the municipality of Landwürden used the seal image as a colored coat of arms.
