history

Beckum was first mentioned in 1220, when a witness named "Thibrandus de Bekem" was mentioned in a contract between Rüstringen and the city of Bremen. There is a peasant charter from 1715, it was a replacement for an old peasant charter that was lost. According to legend, the chief Dide Lubben had his place of residence in Düddingen, but this cannot be proven. However, Conrad Wierichs lived for a few years in Beckum, who wrote a book about East Friesland in the Middle Ages (“An attempt at some remarks about the state of Friesland in the middle ages”, Oldenburg 1741). The former Lehngut Hiddingen was converted into a domain leased by the Chamber in 1844 . In 1574 the fiefdom of the old chancellery or Hobenhausen was won by Count Johann VII through dykes and given to his chancellor Franz von Halle . In 1789, after changing hands several times, it became the stately allodial land . The old chancellery is located on the Old Hoben, a part of the Lockfleht flood plains that was diked in 1573. Just like Alte Kanzlei, Binnenau initially belonged to non-local aristocrats.

The founding of a secondary school in Edschenburg is recorded for 1652/53, it got its own building in 1664. In 1819 the school building was refurbished. The one-class school was moved to Hayenwärf in 1912 .

Beckumer Siel

The first evidence for the Beckumer Siel is 1646. In 1844 there were two campfire sites and 13 residents, they belonged to the Hartwarden farmers . The sewer was rebuilt in 1708 and 1896. In 1979 the sewer was shut down. The Beckumer Sielacht with its statutes from 1939 was integrated into the Stadlander Sielacht in 1964.
