About this picture

Ganderkesee ( Low German Gannerseer ) is an independent municipality located near Bremen in the district of Oldenburg in Lower Saxony .

geography

Geographical location

Ganderkesee is about 20 km west of the center of Bremen, on the northern edge of the Wildeshauser Geest nature park . The northernmost part of the community lies in the glacial valley of the Weser , so it is a flat marsh . The edge of the glacial valley runs roughly along the districts of Bookholzberg - Rethorn - Stenum - Hoykenkamp . To the south of this is the sandy, slightly higher and slightly hilly terrain of the Geest . On a clear day, the other edge of the glacial valley in Bremen-Nord can be seen from exposed places on the edge of the Geest .

The municipality of Ganderkesee borders in the east on the independent city of Delmenhorst, in the north on the municipalities Lemwerder and Berne in the Wesermarsch district and on the municipality Hude , in the west on the municipality Hatten and in the south on the municipalities Dötlingen and Harpstedt .

Ganderkesee has three basic structural centers with the corresponding infrastructure. The community's population is concentrated on the one hand in the core town of Ganderkesee, and on the other on a strip along the railway line from Oldenburg to Bremen with the districts of Bookholzberg, Rethorn and Schierbrok. The districts of Heide and Elmeloh form a settlement area with the neighboring districts of Delmenhorst and are therefore also densely populated. The other areas of the municipality are sparsely populated and more agricultural.

Community structure

Aerial view of the center of Ganderkesee

The community of Ganderkesee includes 25 districts (called farmers' communities) with around 31,550 inhabitants:

Bookholzberg

After Ganderkesee, Bookholzberg is the largest part of the municipality with around 5000 inhabitants. There is the open-air stage Stedingsehre , a Nazi cult site. A National Socialist theater was founded on the site in 1934, and the Weser-Ems vocational support organization is located there today. Steding's honor is reminiscent of the Battle of Altenesch , the only crusade in Germany in which the Frisians of Stedingens were defeated by the Bishop of Bremen.

Elmeloh

Elmeloh seen from the south

Elmeloh is one of the three oldest farmers in the community of Ganderkesee, even if the place is sometimes assigned to the city of Delmenhorst because of its adjacent location. Due to their historical and spatial proximity, the districts of Elmeloh and Almsloh are usually mentioned together.

In addition to the annual Easter bonfire organized by the Elmeloh / Almsloh local association, another event is the pack hunt at the Kruse pension, which is known beyond the borders of Elmeloh. The most striking buildings are the watermill and the old Elmeloher school. The watermill was first mentioned in 1445 and was in operation until 1961. Today the building is used as a residential building. The school consisted of two classrooms and an official apartment for the teacher. At the end of the Second World War and in the post-war years it was partly used as refugee accommodation and closed as a school in 1970. Since then the building has been used as a village community center. The teacher's apartment became a private apartment in 1970. A newly established kindergarten has been in the building since 2008 , replacing the original play area.

Elmeloh, like Schlutter and Habbrügge, emerged from a manor . This was awarded by the sovereigns in the Middle Ages , for which the residents had to perform military service. The knights usually lived in the midst of their property in fortified houses, so-called tower hill castles , which were built on artificial hills surrounded by moats.

Since around 1480, the Elmeloh estate has been inhabited by the von Mandelsloh family of knights. In 1692 it was sold to the Junker Kurt Veit von Witzleben . He died in 1719. After that, his son Adam Levin von Witzleben was the "heir of Elmeloh and Hude". Together with his wife he donated a new altar to the Ganderkese church, which still forms the end of the choir in the Ganderkese church. After Adam Lewin von Witzleben's death in 1745, his nephew of the same name, Adam Levin von Witzleben the Younger , became the heir until his death in 1766.

Since the completion of Delmenhorst Castle, the medieval post route no longer leads via Schlutter and Ganderkesee, but via Delmenhorst and thus directly past Gut Elmeloh. In 1821 this was paved with sand as the “Postdamm” between the Falkenburg and Delmenhorst districts. From 1827 to 1829 the post route from Sandersfeld to Elmeloh was paved. In 1830 the entire road between Oldenburg and Bremen was completed.

In 1898 the Delmenhorst – Osnabrück railway line was opened, which also runs via Elmeloh. The former Dwoberg train station is already in the Delmenhorst urban area, but borders directly on the village of Elmeloh and is now used as a private residence.

Ganderkesee

The 1150 year old Ganderkesee is the main town of the municipality with 9593 inhabitants (as of March 21, 2016) and an area of ​​around 500 hectares. Ganderkesee is framed by forests, hedgerows , Schlatts and inland dunes . Three brooks flow through the place, the dumb baker , the small dumb baker and the small baker.

As a special attraction, Ganderkesee has the approximately 1000 year old Gaukirche with the Arp Schnitger organ built in 1699 . The modern town hall, located in the center of the town and only built in 1995/96, is one of the central points in town. The building was built by an investor and acquired by the local government in 2016. From elementary schools to grammar schools , all school types of a three-tier school system are available, but no integrated comprehensive school . As of 2011, the Hauptschule and Realschule in both Ganderkesee and Bookholzberg have been combined to form the new form of secondary school . There are also several day-care centers, an adult education center, cultural institutions, outdoor and indoor swimming pools and a variety of sports facilities. The place has different industrial and trading companies; Craft businesses and numerous shops cover the daily needs of the population.

The place has a lively club and cultural life. Agriculture only plays a subordinate role in the village today. Many agricultural businesses have given up or moved outside of town. Due to intensive agriculture , the groundwater is sometimes heavily polluted with nitrates .

Rethorn

A certain Rethôrné was first mentioned in the 11th century. Today it has about 1260 inhabitants. In local elections, the place is a separate constituency (No. 26) in electoral area II - the north. In the state elections in 2008, Rethorn was part of the Oldenburg Land constituency (64). Voting takes place in the youth center “Treff”, one of the oldest youth centers in the Oldenburg district (opened on June 26, 1978). The Rethorn daycare center is now located in the premises of the “Treff”. The youth center is closed. Sights are the "Kamerner See", a former clay stich , the bakery and a genetically polled cow breed, the "Oldenburg cattle". Rethorn has two level crossings, but no train station.

Cameras

Rethorn includes the Kamern district, located directly south of the Bremen – Oldenburg railway line between the Schierbrok and Bookholzberg stops . In the 1647 peasant directory for the Delmenhorst house bailiwick, a farm (half a building) in Kamern is mentioned. A steam brick factory with an annual production capacity of four million bricks was founded in Kamern in 1890 . After the clay deposits were exhausted, the last brickwork chimney was blown up in 1968. By clay mining emerged as a former Tonstich the Kamerner lake , the largest of several ponds surrounded by greenery, which is used as a recreational area today. The Kamerner Bäke drains the Rethorn-Kamern area. Even today, the Kamerner Bäke forms the border between the Stedingen drainage association and the Ochtum association .

history

prehistory

The landscape was shaped by the various ice ages and the warm periods in between . Sands, clays , gravel, stones and boulders have remained from those times . The clay deposits on the Hohenkamp in Rethorn are sometimes over 70 m deep. Geest soils with barren vegetation dominate the area. The Vorgeest to the glacial valley of the Weser was shaped by sand plates, swamps, small moors and dunes (for example in Grüppenbühren as drifting sand areas).

Before the settlement of the Stedinger Brookseite (around 1100), the water flowed from the Hohe Geest on the paths given by nature directly into the swamps of the Brookseite.

In the younger Stone Age from 4000 BC A settlement of the marshes took place, which was proven by finds of rock axes. Large stone graves from the time between 3500 and 2800 BC were found in the area. Found.

In Ganderkesee-West at the junction of the same name on Autobahn 28, there was an Iron Age settlement and an iron smelting site with over 100 so-called racing fire furnaces from the time around the birth of Christ .

Around 200 BC The march was settled by the Germanic Chauken . From 12 BC Until 15 AD, the Chauken submitted to the Romans for a short time and had trade contacts with them. Further Roman campaigns of conquest from AD 47 onwards fail. Around 350 the Chaukenstaat fell into disrepair. The Chauken gradually became part of the tribal association of the Saxons , which were called Lower Saxony from the 16th century. Germanic sanctuaries were destroyed. Where the St. Cyprian and Cornelius Church stands today, there was such a shrine after the fall of the Chauken state. The sanctuary was destroyed and replaced by a Christian one.

middle Ages

In the year 860 Ganderkesee was mentioned for the first time under the name "Gandrikesarde". Archbishop Ansgar von Bremen wrote a biography of his predecessor Willehad , in which he reported about the miracles surrounding the remains of Willehad:

“It was the year of Christ 860, the 28th of the kingdom of our Lord, the exalted King Ludwig ”, when sick people from Ganderkesee also sought healing and came to Bremen: “With the Steoringen, in the village of Gandrikesarde, a woman Herimod was two years deaf. This came to the Bremen Cathedral and, through the merit of the saint, was fortunate enough to come home with full hearing power. "

In 995 the last Viking incursions in the Weser area were reported. In 1040 the Lechterseite in Stedingen was settled.

Archbishop Adalbert von Bremen had a parish church built in Ganderkesee around 1052. He also had a market set up, which was connected to the church fair on September 14th. Ganderkesee became the economic center in the region, and many surrounding villages were parish here. The Romanesque church was thoroughly rebuilt 300 years later and received its current Gothic appearance. After 1200 many parish parishes from Berne to Harpstedt became independent parishes. In the 16th century, the Delmenhorst market also became more and more popular; Ganderkesee lost its importance.

From 1600

The dominant church owned the large arable land in the 17th century. The population only had very small plots of land, so that there were no full farmers here at that time, only half farmers and poor Kötner . For centuries long exploitation as a result of Plagge economy meant that on the commons do not form forests could, but that the landscape of wide heaths and shifting sand dunes was marked. The poor soil, predominantly Podsole , only allowed rye to be grown ; few cows and horses were kept. Intensive sheep farming was carried out on the growing heather . " Nothing in the world is sacred to the shepherds that is found in the area of ​​their flocks ", so it says plaintively in a report from 1814 and " the abuse is monstrous ". The rural misery was exacerbated by the plague (1667 and 1676), typhus (1869) and tuberculosis epidemics. Pastor, bailiff and poor fathers tried often unsuccessfully to prevent begging with draconian measures.

In the 18th century, the town's fires also affected the development of the town: in 1743, 16 buildings, including the sexton with the school rooms, burned down, in 1775 there were 21 houses and the pastory, and in 1846 the thatched-roof houses, which had since been rebuilt, burned down again. Only then were larger gaps between the buildings arranged during the reconstruction.

Many residents had to earn their living as "shuttle workers"; the “Hollandgoers” worked in Friesland or even in Holland , many of them as seamen. Only from 1835 onwards did jobseekers increasingly turn to Bremen, and so in 1855 296 men from the community hired on Bremen ships. In 1888, 126 former boatmen still received their pension from the Bremen seaman's fund.

The division of the common land within the framework of the agricultural reforms of the 19th century initiated a landscape and structural change in the community of Ganderkesee. The arable land was increased, and the import of artificial and mineral fertilizers increased the yields considerably, even on poorer soils. In the area of the former shifting dunes afforestation was carried out by Kiefer - monocultures .

During World War II , Ganderkesee was captured by British troops on April 21, 1945 . The fighting, which retreating paratroopers and infantrymen waged with considerable resistance, destroyed 52 houses, mostly by fire.

On November 13, 1972, hurricane Quimburga , also known as the Niedersachsenorkan , caused severe damage in the municipality of Ganderkesee within a few hours. During two hours, the pine forests reforested in the 19th century were almost completely destroyed, traffic connections were interrupted for days and the power supply collapsed.

Origin of name

The name Ganderkesee has been changed over and over again over the centuries: Ganderkesee, 1702 Ganderkese, 1662 Ganderkeserde, 1584 Ganderkesche, 1189 Ganderekeshde, 860 Gandrikesarde. The ending does not refer to a lake, but to the development around the courtyard, probably a person with a name similar to "Gandrick". Alternatively: gander, gander = male goose

Incorporations

On July 1, 1972, the neighboring community of Schönemoor was incorporated.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of the municipality of Ganderkesee shows a silver ganter , looking around and settling down in flight , including a silver brick on a shield ground that is separated by blue, a golden thread and red. The ganter comes from a legend according to which the location of the church was determined by the bird who settled down. The brick is a reference to the sand-lime brick production in the community, namely in Bookholzberg. The colors of the coat of arms (blue above, red below) refer to the colors of the Duchy of Oldenburg.

The coat of arms was awarded on June 23, 1954. The ganter as heraldic animal is widely recognized and popular today, but still met with considerable resistance in the community in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The Ganderkese flag has only been around since the late 1990s. It was designed at the suggestion of the then honorary mayor Hans-Heinrich Hubmann. For optical reasons, the "Oldenburg colors", mirrored horizontally, surround the coat of arms.

In addition to the official coat of arms, a modern logo with a stylized goose in flight is often used, supplemented by the slogan "Ganderkesee - A sea of ​​possibilities". In 2008 this logo was modernized a bit, since the beginning of 2009 only the slogan "Ganderkesee - more possibilities" has been used.

Steinkimmen transmitter

In the vicinity of Steinkimmen, the NDR has been operating a transmission system of the same name for VHF and TV since 1956 (since the beginning of 2005 also DVB-T). A 298 m high guyed tubular steel mast was used as the antenna support, which at the time of its construction was the tallest structure in Germany. In 2017, a new, 285-meter-high antenna support was completed, so that two systems stood next to each other for a while. The dismantling of the old antenna carrier was completed in November 2017.

Carnival around the ring

Even before the Second World War, several carnival masquerades took place in Ganderkesee. It was only in 1951 that today's major event began to grow. Leading here was u. a. Herbert Witte. In 1951 the Ganderkesee shooting club and the gymnastics and sports club organized their first joint masquerade, and a small pageant took place in the afternoon to promote the evening event. After the first year, five more clubs decided to put the event on a broader basis.

Today 13 associations of the GGV , the community of Ganderkeseer associations, are affiliated. The so-called “Büttenabende” take place on the two weekends before the move. There are four in number, each evening there is space for more than 800 visitors in the hall at Steinacker. This includes hand-made speeches , guard dances, skits , but also live music, performed by over 350 active people. The Ganderkese Bütten evenings are the only ones in the area of ​​the Bund Deutscher Karneval in which all performances are performed with live music by a big band.

The “Carnival around the Ring” parade takes place on the weekend before Rose Monday. More than 110 parade floats, foot groups and music trains pull through Ganderkesee on what is now a classic-historical route. The number of participants is well over 3,500. In good weather, visitor numbers of up to 70,000 people are reached.

A multi-member festival committee, consisting of members of the associations belonging to the GGV, plans the event. The prince couple consists in the classic way of prince and princess. These are supported by four ladies of honor, determined by secret ballot and only in office for one year. The session ends and begins on November 11th each year. The fool's call of the Ganderkeseer carnival is Ganderkesee in - He goes .

Landscape and landscape components

The landscape of Ganderkesee is still well structured. From extremely dry to wet there are many different locations. The landscape is characterized by many charming, partly built-up stream valleys.

Forest and extensive tree-lined inland dune areas, moors (low and high moors), fields, pastures, Schlatts, brooks and hedgerows structure this landscape. Remnants of the former large-scale heathland are only sporadically available. The Ganderkese homeland researcher, author and landscape mapper Georg Müller shows again and again in his publications the dramatic landscape changes in the community over the past hundred years. Many parts of the landscape have already been destroyed, and the decline in species of animals, plants and fungi is dramatic.

Great stone graves and tumuli

Large stone graves , also known as megalithic systems or barrows, were found in Ganderkesee between around 3400 and 3000 BC. Built by the supporters of the funnel beaker culture and until about 2800 BC. Used as a burial place.

Hill grave on Hexenberg

In today's local area of ​​Ganderkesee there were numerous other grave sites in addition to the Hünensteins von Steinkimmen : A burial mound on the old stadium, which was destroyed during the construction of the sports field in 1925/26, and on the as yet undeveloped property between Birkenallee and Memelstrasse. There was also a stone grave where the train station is today and in the old cemetery by the church.

Today there are only a few burial mounds in the immediate vicinity of the village, for example on the property at Bei den Imhöfen 4. Two burial mounds (on Heideweg, near Machandelweg, and Am Hexenberg near the airfield) are under the care of the local and homeland association Ganderkesee. There was once a barrow field of at least 24 burial mounds. Some of them fell victim to the construction of the airfield in 1968. There were also other stone or mound grave sites in the community, some of which still exist. B. at Kullerkamp (near Falkenburg), near Bürstel, near Neuholzkamp, ​​near the Holzkamper Wiesen, near Almsloh, near Stenum, Schierbrok, Hoykenkamp, ​​Kleine Mittelhoop and near Ahrensberg. The location of around 170 grave sites, including at least 17 (19) large stone graves, is known. Over 200 grave sites in and around Ganderkesee are mentioned in various writings. According to Muhle, the whole complex, especially the one with the many large stone graves, is said to have been a large “people's meeting place” and “sanctuary” (Wodan's graves). Judgments were often held at the graves. Ganderkesee was located in the middle of what was then "Largau" (district) and was an important and central place at that time.

Landwehr , Landwehr

Landwehren were medieval border security systems. They served the Count of Delmenhorst to protect his possessions from enemy attacks. The Ganderkese Landwehr, established in the 14th to 15th centuries, extended from the Landwehr to Nuttel . It consisted of several earth walls with a width of up to 10 m and a height of up to 6 m. In front of the ramparts there was a pointed ditch with a depth of 1 m and a width of 1.5 m. On the ramparts were palisades and thorn-reinforced wooden braids. Enemy attackers preferred to bypass such defensive structures because the losses during the storm were too great. Today only remnants of the Landwehr can be seen.

Baths and SaunaHuus

The outdoor pool on Heideweg in Ganderkesee was opened on June 20, 1964. In 2014, the 50th anniversary was celebrated with numerous activities. The pool has a large swimmer's pool with 50-meter lanes, a diving platform, a children's pool with a slide and extensive sunbathing areas. Changing rooms and dining areas are shared with guests of the SaunaHuus, which was inaugurated in March 2012, on the same site. The SaunaHuus was built by the community in a country house style. The individual saunas and areas have Low German names such as Krüderköök, Utkiek or Sweethuus. An outdoor pool was subsequently built on the SaunaHuus site, whereupon the German Sauna Association awarded the designation premium sauna. There is also an indoor swimming pool at the Ganderkesee school center, which is also used for school swimming.

Economy and Infrastructure

traffic

Ganderkesee is part of the Bremen / Lower Saxony transport association (VBN).

In the center of the town is the Ganderkesee train station , where the trains of the RB  58 (operator NordWestBahn ) regularly stop on the Delmenhorst – Hesepe line to Bremen via Delmenhorst and to Osnabrück via Vechta and Bramsche .

There are stops of the same name in the districts of Bookholzberg, Schierbrok and Hoykenkamp, ​​which are also regularly served by the RS 3 line of the Bremen / Lower Saxony regional S-Bahn ( Bremen – Oldenburg – Bad Zwischenahn route ).

In addition, there are some bus routes operated by Weser-Ems Busverkehr GmbH for local and neighboring traffic . In addition, the BürgerBus connects almost all of the villages in the municipality with two vehicles.

The A 28 motorway crosses the community from west to east. It is connected with two junction points - Ganderkesee West (AS 19) and Ganderkesee Ost (AS 20) - the Hude junction (AS 18) is also partly on the municipal area. The federal road 212 to Nordenham begins near Ganderkesee ; the federal road 213 runs through the community in the southeast.

Ganderkesee has two airfields . Ganderkesee Atlas Airfield EDWQ is located to the west of Ganderkesee . The AAS Atlas Air Service company and the Ganderkesee air sports club are located here, as well as a parachute diving school , a hotel with a restaurant, as well as other companies and the airfield studio of the local radio station Radio 90.vier . Due to the night flight permit and the fast transport connections, the airport is popular with celebrities who live or perform in Bremen. The Große Höhe airfield is also well-known across the region and, due to its grass runway, is mainly popular with ultralight , motor gliders and gliders . The Delmenhorst aviation club is based there.
