history

The Beschotenweg is a medieval road through the high moor between Weener and Bunde. In a document from 1450, the name on Schotenweg appeared for the first time , presumably describing this path. The name is interpreted as a raised, elevated path . Until the middle of the 17th century, the moor was still uninhabited and belonged to the sovereignty of East Frisia . After the transition from East Frisia to Prussia , the first settlers settled here before 1800 and began to clear the high moor. It was then used for agriculture. The community has been independent since the beginning of the 19th century at the latest. At first it belonged to the office, from 1885 to the Weener district . Since its dissolution in 1932, it has belonged to the district of Leer .

On January 1, 1973, Beschotenweg was incorporated into the city of Weener.
