Federal territory
Bunderneuland is a row settlement in the Rheiderland , an East Frisian area in northwest Germany . Politically it belongs to the municipality of Bunde and is part of the village of Dollart . Around 120 people live in Bunderneuland.
The row settlement was built on very fertile Kleimarschboden , which is only about 0.2 to 0.3 meters above sea level (NN) and is drained through the Wymeerer Sieltief and the Bunderneulandtief in a northerly direction into the Dollart . For the first time the village is called Bunder Newelandt in 1645 . The name describes the area as the new territory belonging to Bunde .
history
The earliest evidence of the presence of people in the area of today's Bunderneuland is a Mesolithic settlement area with a cooking pit and flint blades, which was discovered in 1993 during the construction of the highway west of Bunde and on the northern border of Bunderneuland under clay and peat . The dollar slump largely cleared the original moorland landscape in the late Middle Ages , making the landscape uninhabitable. This only changed when, against the will of the residents of the surrounding villages, the construction of a dike from Bunde to Neuschanz began in 1605, probably on the initiative of private entrepreneurs from western Friesland . The Bunderneuland wrested from the sea was opened up by the entrepreneurs through Mittelweg (today's street Kreisstraße 34 with the name Bunderneuland ), on which they built around 15 farms on raised house platforms in the following years . They then leased the farms.
