The settlement is located in Cäciliengroden of the same name, directly on the dike to the Jade Bay . The Groden was diked in 1844 and is named after Grand Duchess Cäcilie von Oldenburg , who died on January 27, 1844 .

history

The place Cäciliengroden was built in the years 1938/1939 as a settlement for conscripted workers of the Wilhelmshavener Kriegsmarinewerft . As early as 1937, a settlement in Cäciliengroden was shown spatially in various plans to expand the city of Wilhelmshaven. In the same year, the Wilhelmshaven housing association "Jade" finally received the order to build the estate. For its part, the company commissioned the Bremen architect Friedrich Heuer (1897–1960) with the further planning of the settlement and houses. In April 1938 construction of the first houses could begin. At the end of 1939, 256 settlement houses and 104 people's apartments were completed. In August 1940 the planned school was inaugurated and in 1943 the settlers' or youth home was built near the sports field. However, other planned public buildings could no longer be built due to the war. The Second World War left little damage. In the post-war years, the existing settlement houses and people's apartments were privatized. Due to the designation of new building districts in the southeast, northwest and west, the village continued to grow. In November 1959, the Evangelical Lutheran Christ Church was inaugurated according to plans by Sander architect Frieda Timpe. In 1981 the settlers' and youth home was converted into today's village community center. The Protestant parish hall "Die Brücke" received an extension in 1986.

Religions

The salt marshes in front of the dike in Cäciliengroden are located in the Jade Bay and are part of the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park . Since June 13, 2010, the salt marsh nature trail "Cäciliengrodenpfad" has been located here in the form of a wooden plank system that leads around 100 meters deep into the salt marshes. The viewing platform at the end of the facility offers the opportunity to quietly observe the surrounding nature. The nature trail is provided with information boards on flora and fauna as well as climate change. From the viewing platform it is possible to continue walking along a marked path to the water. The salt marshes are part of the quiet zone and may only be entered on the marked paths to protect nature.

Cäciliengroden is located on the so-called sculpture path art on the dike . The sculpture path was laid out in Expo 2000 and runs along the cycle path on the sea dike from Mariensiel via Cäciliengroden to Dangast . The seven sculptures were created during a sculpture symposium and were created by seven different artists. The sculptures represent the seven days of the creation story . In the area of ​​Cäciliengroden are the sculptures for the second day of creation “The festival, the sky” by Adrian Jähne and the third day of creation “Earth and sea, the plants” by Thorsten Schütt.

At the end of Fritz-Erler-Straße, directly on the Cäciliengroden dike, stands the bronze figure “The Koyer”. Koyer is the traditional Low German term for a dyke worker who in earlier times only built the dykes with the help of so-called Koyer carts, i.e. the wheelbarrows used to transport the dyke soil. The design for the bronze sculpture comes from the brothers Hans-Christian and Anders Petersen (Petersen & Petersen) from Esens . The figure was erected and inaugurated on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the large torchlight demonstration on August 30, 1996, during which up to 10,000 people demonstrated at a torchlight demonstration for coastal protection and against a construction stop for nature conservation reasons. The notice board at the foot of the figure contains the following dedication : "This koyer is intended to commemorate the dike construction period from 1992 to 2002, the torchlight demonstration on August 30, 1996 and the trend-setting building shed meetings to weigh up the interests of nature and coastal protection" .
