history
Certain evidence is not available about the age of the village. According to local researchers B. Uphoff and A. Schöneboom, the earliest traces of a settlement date back to the younger Stone Age (3000–2000 BC).
The earliest documented mention dates from March 17, 1454. In this document, Hippe zu Strackholt pledged "real estate in specified locations on both sides of the Spetze" . The lands “tho Strackholte , Bacbande, Tymmeln , Hatzehusen unde to Oldendöp” are named . In the Middle Ages, Bagband belonged to the " Hooge Loogen ".
It is not possible to determine when the name "Backbant" originated, nor is the origin of the name clearly proven.
According to Schöneboom, the name "Backband", recorded in 1454, describes the location of the village on a raised land ridge that is surrounded by flowing water. The syllable "back" comes from the Old Saxon and indicates a prehistoric water designation. The final syllable "bant" refers to the ridge and means "member of a whole". The whole is the Geestrücken Bagband-Strackholt, the part of this whole means the place Bagband.
Bagband is an old village. The surrounding moorland belongs to the residents. In newer settlements like Spetzerfehn , Firrel or Vossbarg these belonged to a Fehn company .
On October 1, 1900, the small train station was put into operation. In 1919 the place received a cooperative power supply. The Südermoor district is connected in 1924, Heselerhörn not until 1958.
102 farmers founded the Bagband dairy cooperative in 1910, the catchment area of which extended from Mittegroßefehn, Ulbargen, Gut Stikelkamp via Bagband, Strackholt, Fiebing, Zwischenbergen, Voßbarg to Aurich-Wiesmoor. At times it processed up to 25 million liters of milk a year. After many smaller dairy farms had given up, the dairy cooperative ceased operations at the end of 1992. Most of the former comrades joined the Ammerland milk works.
On July 1, 1972, Bagband was incorporated into the new community of Großefehn.
Attractions
The Bagbander Church
The Bagbander Church was built in the middle of the 13th century in the brick Romanesque style. Today's shape is that of a rectangular long ship. In earlier times there were still some additions, such as an apse and a canopy for the entrance door on the north wall. The belfry with three bells, which originally stood north-west of the church, was so badly dilapidated at the end of the 19th century that it could no longer be used. It was demolished and replaced by a 50 meter high church tower in the neo-Gothic style on the west gable. Inside the church you can see some sculptures from the 15th century, including the crucifixion group and a Radiant Madonna. The pulpit with the four evangelists dates from 1654. There is also a historic Eckmann organ from 1775.
The Bagbander Mill
The Bagbander Mill is a gallery Dutch windmill from 1812. The mill wings were equipped with sails until about 1910, from 1911 to 1973 the windmill had louvre wings, then from 1974 to 1999 again sail gate wings, while it is now again equipped with four louvre wings. The masonry consists of an octagon made of baked bricks, built in shell limestone. The mill has two grindings. An elevator and a wind-powered pulley system are used to transport grain. The stones in a grinder weigh 25 quintals. The upper stone is the runner (Leoper), while the stone below is called the Bodenstein (Ligger). When the stones are sharpened, the upper stone is lifted by means of a crane. The cap is made of Bongossi wood and covered with a copper roof. The mill is thatched and achieves an output of 75 hp in good winds .
The "Hartog Hinnerk Steen"
On the square next to the church there is a 50 cm high field stone in which the letters "HH" are carved. The letters stand for "Hartog Hinnerk", which means Duke Heinrich von Braunschweig . This memorial stone commemorates the siege of the fortress Leerort in 1514. At that time, Leerort was not only defended by mercenaries, but also by East Frisian farmers, including Bagbanders. After they returned to Bagband with the end of the siege caused by the death of Duke Heinrich, who was hit by a cannonball, they set up the stone and chiseled the letters into it.
Ostfriesen Bräu with brewery museum
Starting in 1998, the new owner had the old milk production facilities in the former dairy converted into a brewery restaurant with a brewery museum. In the course of the renovation, a brewery was also set up in the existing buildings. The brewery was opened on April 23, 1999. In the restaurant, which is furnished in Franconian style, you can enjoy dark country beer as well as beer schnapps and beer liqueurs as well as typical beer dishes, snacks and regional dishes. Guided tours can be booked.
Biggenboom
In a bulge on the B 436 between the two villages of Bagband and Strackholt, still within the Bagband area, lies “the cursed place” with the big gene boom. For both places of Bigge boom had once a similar meaning as the Upstalsboom for Friesentum. Disputes between the villages were often settled on the Biggenboom. An oak tree is said to have stood at this site in the past, which was shattered by lightning, just like the offspring of the Biggenboom a generation later. For a long time, according to legend, the cursed square was no match. An apple tree that was planted later was broken by the storm and its fruits were never ripe, it is said. In March 1928 a new wild apple tree was planted, but it died two years later, so that another had to be planted in March 1930. After he finished his duties, he was replaced on March 16, 2002.
Bagband parish
The Evangelical Lutheran parish of Bagband with around 660 members is the southernmost parish in the Aurich parish . In addition to the village of Bagband, the community also includes Neuemoor (district of Leer) and parts of Spetzerfehn . The heart of the parish is the Romanesque brick church from the 13th century. The Spetzerfehn cemetery chapel also belongs to the parish of Bagband. The former village school of the fen colonists was converted into a chapel by parishioners. Several circles meet regularly in the Bagbander community. These include two confirmation groups, a senior group and a women's group, as well as a trombone, a church and a gospel choir.
Events
The Bagbander Market first took place on April 28, 1864. This makes it one of the oldest markets in East Frisia. The local council Babagband and the voluntary fire brigade Bagband invite you every year on a Friday at the end of April to the cattle and junk market with an evening tent festival. While the Bagbander market was previously mainly a cattle market - up to 1000 head of cattle were raised up until the Second World War - the cattle market now plays a secondary role and is only maintained because of tradition.
