history

The Bürener area - section of a map from 1806 by Christian Abraham Heineken

The village of Büren existed in the 13th century. It is assumed that in the Middle Ages the old course of the Weser made a village unity possible. The Weser then changed its course and the districts separated by the Weser. Büren formerly consisted of the following districts:

Hasenbüren was first mentioned as Hasenburen in 1319 , then as Hazenburen in 1399 and was part of the Goh Viehland in the 14th century , which was divided into Niedervieland and Obervieland in 1598 . Hasenbüren lies between the left bank of the Weser and the Ochtum , west of Seehausen and east of today's district of Ochtum von Lemwerder . It belonged to the parish of Seehausen, which was first mentioned in 1187 as Sehusen , and today it belongs to the Bremen district of Seehausen in the Bremen-Süd district. Since 1250 the people of Hasenbuergen had to contribute financially to the maintenance of the Weser Bridge in Bremen and since 1390 and 1398 to fortifying the Vieland and maintaining paths and bridges. There was a water mill in the Dorfmark from 1788 until the 19th century . In 1812 there were 369 inhabitants in the district. From 1810 to 1813 the village belonged to the Mairie Wolmershausen during the French period in Bremen . In the 19th century, householders who earned their living as boatmen and workers settled on the dike . Due to the work on the Weser correction , the number of settlers increased. In 1885, 677 people lived in Hasenbüren.

The Hasenbüren sports harbor , the old Hasenbürener Landstrasse  - which was paved in 1876 - and the Hasenbürener Deich and Hasenbürener Umdeich paths all bear the name of the former village. The Ochtum barrage is located directly on the western edge of the area in Lower Saxony .

Lewenbüren was mentioned in the 13th and 14th centuries. It was between Hasenbüren and Seehausen. Presumably it worked in the districts of Hasenbüren or Seehausen.

Mittelbüren was called Middelburen in 1246 and is today on the right bank of the Weser in Werderland . After the separation from Büren, the village belonged to the Goh Werderland and was part of Bremen in the 15th century. To the north were the villages of Niederbüren, Grambke and Burg (Borch), to the east and south-east were the villages of Oslebshausen and Gröpelingen , to the west was the Weser. In 1741, Bremen also had to cede Mittelbüren to the Electorate of Hanover in the Second Stade settlement , which came back to Bremen after the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803. In 1812 there were 215 and then in 1885 231 inhabitants. The two districts of Mittel- and Niederbüren had 282 inhabitants in 1933. The area became part of the Burglesum district in 1946 . When the Klöckner-Werke wanted to build the Klöckner Stahlwerk Bremen in Bremen, most of the village had to give way except for the Moorlose Church and some buildings in its immediate vicinity, including the former village school built in 1880/1881. In 1954, the Klöckner-Werke started purchasing land and in 1957 production began. The area now belongs to the Harbors district . The middle Büren harbor in front of the steelworks bears the name of the place. The Mittelbüren power plant of swb AG was built in 1964. In 1961, a farmhouse was demolished and rebuilt as the Mittelbüren house in 1964 on the grounds of the Focke Museum .

The moorless church is located between Mittelbüren and Niederbüren . The name of the church was interpreted as the motherless church, but also as the church on the Moorlöse, a sewer ditch in the Werderland. The church may have been founded by Corvey Abbey in the 13th century. A church that initially depends on the church in Altenesch (therefore later “motherless”) is possible. A new building was built for this church in the probably 14th century. In 1846/47 the preserved new building, which is a listed building, followed.

Niederbüren , known as Nedderstenburen in the 14th century , also belonged to the Goh Werderland. It is located on the right bank of the Weser and south of the Lesum . The village of Niederbüren had 99 inhabitants in 1884 and only 53 in 1912.

Mittelbüren and Niederbüren have belonged to the Werderland district of the Burglesum district since 1946 . The path along the Lesum and Weser from Bremen-Grohn or Bremen-Burg to the Moorlose Church is a popular excursion route on the edge of the Werderland nature reserve.
