geography
Borgfeld is located on the Wümme and its lowlands in the northeast of Bremen.
Neighboring districts in the south are Oberneuland and Horn-Lehe . In the north it borders on the municipality of Lilienthal .
The district of Borgfeld is divided into the areas of Borgfeld-Ost with the old town center (church, local office), Borgfeld-West and Katrepel in the south-east of the district. Outside the Wümmedeiche in the north are Timmersloh and eastern parts of the former Butendiek.
Borgfeld is one of four districts of the city of Bremen that do not have the status of a district due to insufficient population, although they are directly assigned to a city district.
Politics, administration
Advisory Board
The Borgfeld Advisory Board meets regularly and usually publicly in the local office or in other institutions such as B. Schools. The advisory board is composed of the representatives of the political parties or individual candidates elected at the district level. The advisory board elections take place every four years, at the same time as the elections for the Bremen citizenship . The advisory board discusses all issues of the district that are of public interest and makes decisions on this, which are passed on to the administration, the state government and the townspeople. He forms specialist committees for his work. The advisory board has its own budget for district-related measures.
Advisory board spokesman is Gernot Burghardt (FDP). His deputy is Jörn Broeksmid ( CDU ).
Local office
The Borgfeld local office has been a local administrative authority since 1946. It supports the advisory board in its political work. It is intended to participate in all local tasks that are of public interest. It is led by an honorary local office manager proposed by the advisory board and confirmed by the Senate.
Karl – Heinz Bramsiepe has been the local office manager since 2019.
history
The names
The name Borchfelde (1235) refers to a fortified castle at a Wümmeübergang, which probably stood at the end of the Upper Borg street . The field in front of the castle was settled in the Middle Ages. Katrepel , part of Borgfeld, could mean something like bad path or cat path . The village name Warf is derived from a mound of earth. The district Butendiek was outside (Buten) of the Wümmedeich (diek).
Middle Ages until 1900
Early Chauken settlements in Borgfeld and probably also in Katrepel are documented by broken fragments from around 900 on Erbrichterweg. From 1113 the area south of the Wümme was drained and cultivated by Dutchmen on behalf of the archbishop . In 1235 Borgfeld and in 1278 Katrepel were first mentioned in a document. The early Gothic single-nave Borgfeld village church was first mentioned in 1281 (other sources in 1384).
The Warf settlement initially consisted of only two farms. By 1383, a small row village developed on the dike, the courtyards of which were to be assigned to the cathedral chapter as Meierhöfe . Warf belonged to the Vogtei Langwedel, then to the parish of Borgfeld. In 1827 around 50 hectares of this area were given to Hanover. From Butendiek only the old, eastern district in Borgfeld and thus in Bremen remained.
Timmersloh was a village that developed on the edge of the forest-rich Geest area north of Borgfeld and the Wümme and was first mentioned in 1545. The hereditary court and the parish were with Borgfeld. In 1827 Bremen gave part of the area to the Kingdom of Hanover and received areas for the development of Bremerhaven . In 1813 the village had 90 inhabitants. A small volunteer fire brigade was able to survive. There was a secondary school from the 17th century to 1972. Today the village community center is here. Timmersloh has been with the Borgfeld local authority since 1946.
In the 14th century, the jurisdiction of Borgfeld lay with Hude and then with Gröpelingen . On May 24, 1413, the Bremen councilor and later mayor Hinrich von der Hude acquired half of the village of Borgfeld together with Johann Oldenwagen . The Bremen council and the Brand family each acquired half of the jurisdiction with land in Borgfeld in 1595. In 1666, Bremen was given full territorial sovereignty over Borgfeld with the parts of Warf, Butendiek, Timmersloh, Verenmoor and Ebbensiek. Katrepel has belonged to Borgfeld since 1870. The rights of the Brand's heirs were resigned from Bremen in 1810 and 1883. A single-class school in the Borgfeld parish was first mentioned in the 17th century . In 1772 the first school building was replaced by a new building that stood at the current school until 1956. In 1797 a mill was built in the Warf area, but it burned down in 1889. From 1870 Warf is part of the Borgfeld rural community.
In 1812 Borgfeld had 659 (other sources 349) inhabitants. The Lilienthaler Heerstraße was built in 1827. From 1856 the area on the right side of the Wümmes belonged to the German Customs Union . A school with four classrooms was built around 1881, and in 1889 the school was transferred from the parish to the parish. The school was expanded in 1905 and from 1950 to 1965. In 1882 a flood-free bridge over the Wümmen lowland was built and in 1887 a second Wümme bridge in the direction of Butendiek. With the opening of the Jan-Reiners-Bahn , the small railway line Bremen and Tarmstedt , Borgfeld received a train station in 1899.
As part of the expansion of the port and transport facilities in Bremerhaven, another area was exchanged between Bremen and Prussia in 1904/05 . 595 hectares of Borgfelder and Oberneulander meadows came to the Prussian community of Fischerhude .
From 1900
In 1905 Borgfeld had 948 inhabitants. In 1927 the volunteer fire brigade was formed. In 1933/34 30 part-time settlements were built in the Katrepler settlement. In 1933 Wilhelm Kaisen , Senator from 1928–1933 and Mayor of Bremen from 1945–1965, moved into this settlement. He lived here until his death in 1979. Today the Wilhelm Kaisen documentation center is located here .
The Butendieker settlement was flooded in 1941 when a large dike breached. In 1943 there were bombing raids on the Wümm area. On April 26, 1945, the Wümmebrücken was blown up by the German Wehrmacht.
In 1945 the rural community of Borgfeld was incorporated into Bremen. The local office was formed in 1946. In 1950 Louis Ferdinand Prince of Prussia , a grandson of Kaiser Wilhelm II , moved to Borgfeld and lived in the Wümmehof . The Wümmebrücke to Butendiek was built in 1952. In 1956 the Jan-Reiners-Bahn was shut down.
In 1960 Borgfeld had 3,663 inhabitants. From 1950 to 1965 the school was expanded in sections by 10 classrooms and an auditorium and gymnasium added. In 1981 it had 265 students. In 1981 the Borgfelder Allee bypass was inaugurated. The nature reserve Borgfelder Wümmewiesen was established in 1987. The renovation of the Borgfeld town center began in 1999. The new development area Borgfeld-Ost with approx. 420 residential units as free-standing single-family and semi-detached houses was created. From 2001 the controversial new development area Borgfeld-West could begin. 840 residential units are to be built here.
The extension of tram line 4 from Horn-Lehe to Borgfeld was inaugurated in 2002. A further extension to and by Lilienthal has been secured in a legally binding manner based on an administrative agreement between the city of Bremen and the municipality of Lilienthal on June 30, 2009 after a long controversy. After several delays due to errors in the award procedure, the extension of the tram line was finally inaugurated on August 2, 2014.
