history
In the southern part of the village we find the monastery courtyard which was founded by the Johannites in 1319 (Kommende Bredehorn). The monastery had included the following outworks: grave Horn, Jührden and alleviating. The Hahn monastery with its chapel belonged to the commander in Bredehorn for only a short time . The monastery in Bredehorn also included estates and castles. For example, a mighty Johanniter tower at their Lindern farm or the "Haus Osterberg", which Johann Rudolf von Oetken, owner of the Loy estate, had performed on a plot of the old Bredehorn estate in 1760. Bredehorn and Jührden had to deliver a fat cow and a Malter rye to the Count of Oldenburg every year since 1428. There was a count's falconry in Grabhorn and Jührden.
At that time Bredehorn was on the border area of Rüstringen , which can still be seen today in the northern part of Bredehorn on the Landwehr, a border fortification on the Geestzunge , consisting of three walls with graves.
In 1506, Commander Johannes von Haren in Bredehorn was the first translator to translate Schiphower's Chronicle from Latin into German. The translator diligently shortened what the count might have thought unnecessary. This was not the only translation in the 16th century. Around 1599, Hamelmann, another translator, translated the entire chronicle. A copy is available in bookshops today.
In 1533 Count Anton von Oldenburg took over the Johanniterhöfe . In 1535 they were avoided, that is, they were initially leased against certain tax obligations and later passed into private ownership. After the Schmalkaldic War in 1572, Anton agreed to pay the Order of St. John for the Bredehorn, Roddens , Inte, Strückhausen houses and their accessories as much as 5200 thalers, a cheap confirmation of his forcibly seized property rights to them. In some respects he had the luck of favorable time conditions on his side. Through his policy towards ecclesiastical institutions, with no direct interest in theology, he reflected the general development of the age, which put the sovereign, the secular authorities, in the middle position between God and the subjects.
In 1955, a medieval castle was found in Bredehorn, on today's border between Ammerland and the district of Friesland , during leveling work between the monastery courtyards of Bredehorn and Jührden. It is a 1.2 meter high hill with a diameter of 20 meters, surrounded by a barely recognizable ditch. When digging the hill, oak stakes were found that were driven deep into the ground. The mound contained fire rubble, fragments of local pottery and also Rhenish stoneware , as well as old roof tiles of the “ monk and nun ” type. The castle square remained untouched after the castle was destroyed, an investigation would therefore be desirable. In Bredehorn the field name "Burg" is known, and years ago palispholes were found in the moor, which suggest an earlier permanent location.
In 1950 around 100 silver groschen, so-called Turnosen from the period between 1365 and 1370, were found near Bredehorn in a so-called Siegburger jug . These passed into the possession of the State Museum for Art and Cultural History in Oldenburg in 1954 .
