Location of the municipality of Badbergen in the district of Osnabrück

Badbergen is a member municipality of the Samtgemeinde Artland in the northern district of Osnabrueck in Lower Saxony and is located in the Artland as part of the recreation area Hasetal .

geography

Geographical location

Geographical location

Badbergen lies within the North German Plain in the center of the alluvial plain of the Artland , an extensive flatness that is only weakly subdivided by valley sand slabs and damp lowlands.

Coming from the south of the Teutoburg Forest , the river Hase flows towards the Cloppenburger Geest and is pushed to the west by the rise in terrain.

Geology and hydrogeology

The Artland Hare Inland Delta

In the lowlands north of a tertiary ridge in the glacial valley of the Hase, the river has formed an inland delta (at the so-called Hase overfall ) near Quakenbrück . The area of ​​this inland delta is almost congruent with the Artland region and consists mainly of glaciofluviatile sediments that were created during the ice age by the action of the river carrying glacier melt water . Because of the low gradient, the Hase formed several arms of the river and the Hase Inland Delta was created, at the beginning of which is Badbergen.

Drilling has shown that the soil consists primarily of loamy and sandy deposits from the Pleistocene . The top soil layer is five to seven meters thick and is underlain by a loamy and marbled layer of sediment that is up to ten meters thick . Sandy layers at a depth of 25 to 30 meters form a high-yield aquifer for pumping the groundwater . The top aquifer is at a depth of two to six meters.

Expansion of the municipal area

Badbergen is a row settlement, the center of which was on both sides of the B 68 until the bypass road was built, with several rows of mostly residential buildings on the eastern side, while several factories are located on the western side behind the road development between old-established farms. With the railway connection that the village received in 1876, some factories were established and the farming village developed into a village of craftsmen and merchants. Nevertheless, the community could not completely avoid the problem of rural exodus.

The farms are mainly located in the districts of Grönloh, Groß Mimmelage, Grothe, Langen, Lechterke, Vehs, Wehdel and Wulften, which are part of the Badbergen community .

Neighboring communities

Badbergen borders Gehrde and Bersenbrück in the south, Nortrup and Menslage in the west, Quakenbrück in the north and Dinklage and Holdorf (both districts of Vechta ) in the east .

history

Padberge is mentioned in a document from Count Simon von Tecklenburg from 1175 ; a document from 1188 uses the place name Batbergh .

Other peasants in the parish are mentioned much earlier. The reason for the formation of the church village, a narrow street village, was presumably a canonical foundation founded here in 1235 . Badbergen probably owes its further development and former importance as a trading place to its location at the intersection of two important trade routes. The north-south long-distance connection is still made today by federal highway 68, which is now regulated by a bypass.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1972, the communities of Grönloh, Groß Mimmelage, Grothe, Langen, Lechterke, Vehs, Wehdel and Wulften were incorporated.

Name interpretation

A final interpretation of the place name has not yet taken place. The place name Padberg can be derived from Pad for path and mountains for hostel, refuge. Another interpretation refers to the Old Saxon personal name Bathard , on which the place name Batbergh could be based.

Culture and sights

Most of the sights of Badbergen can be reached via the Artland Route holiday route . The imposing, listed Artland farms (see Artland cultural treasure ) and their oak groves, which can be found at almost every farm, are well known. Other attractions are

• the Protestant St. George's Church with its eight-sided Romanesque tower substructure
• the Catholic St. Marien Church

both in the center of the village

• the restored windmill in Groß Mimmelage with rosarium
• the donkey farm in Langen.

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

The federal road B 68 crossed the center of Badbergen in a north-south direction until December 20, 2013. On August 28, 2008, however, the planning approval procedure for the construction of a bypass was initiated. The bypass road was opened on December 20, 2013 after a construction period of 16 months.

Today's NordWestBahn route Osnabrück-Oldenburg crosses the municipality from south to north. When this Oldenburger Südbahn opened in 1876, there was also a train station in Badbergen, which was closed before 2000 in the interest of shortening travel times; The Langen station (Kr. Bersenbrück) is also no longer in operation. The closest stations are in Bersenbrück and Quakenbrück . The trains on line RE 18 (Osnabrück - Wilhelmshaven) stop here. In addition, the Duisburg – Quakenbrück railway with the disused section Coesfeld – Rheine – Quakenbrück ran through the municipality, so the stopping point there in the Vehs district also sees no trains.

There are bus connections from the Verkehrsgemeinschaft Osnabrück from Badbergen to Quakenbrück. There is also the Bürgerbus Badbergen association based on a private initiative. This operates the citizen bus , which connects the community with Quakenbrück market square and hospital from Monday to Saturday.

Established businesses

Artland Convenience GmbH with 340 employees is the town's largest employer. Other well-known companies are the event company Kedz Event, Holtkamp Mineralöle, RBAG, Thorsten Kamper Landtechnik, Autohaus Plog, Energyfuchs Bornhorst and Fleischhandel Riedel. Some traditional retail stores were able to find successors and continue to exist today, such as the Herkenhof bakery or the former Nethler stationery store, now Hinderks.

Public facilities

Heimathaus Badbergen eV as well as the Artländer Trachtenbund and the shanty choir "Hasejungs" stand for traditional country life and regional culture. All of the clubs mentioned have considerable problems with young talent and are constantly looking for newcomers.

education

The former school unit, which once consisted of elementary school, orientation level, secondary school and secondary school, first lost the secondary school and later also the secondary school with the centralization in the neighboring Quakenbrück, so that there is now only the primary school. There is also the Protestant kindergarten.
