geography
Camping is a clustered settlement . It is located about twelve kilometers northwest of Emden. The place was created in a limestone marshland at a height between 0.3 and 0.6 m above sea level. NHN . In total, the district covers an area of 6.06 square kilometers.
history
Camping is first mentioned in the 10th century as in Campe maiori . In the 10th and 11th centuries the name was common in Campun . Later name variants were in maiori Compum (1395) and Kampen (1424). The place name is the dative plural of the old Frisian term kamp or komp (= field). It therefore means (in the) fields . Coin finds prove that camping was already settled in the early Middle Ages. In the 13th century, the residents of the village built a church on the highest point of the terp.
In 1744 camping fell to Prussia like all of East Friesland . In 1756 the Prussian officials compiled a statistical trade survey for East Friesland. In that year there were 15 merchants and craftsmen in Campen, which meant that camping remained in the shadow of the neighboring village of Loquard, which was much more heavily occupied with craftsmen and merchants. In Campen there were four tailors, two blacksmiths, two shoemakers and linen weavers as well as one cooper, baker, bricklayer and carpenter. The only local merchant traded in soap, spices, sugar and tea.
Campen and Heiselhusen were part of the Emden district during the Hanoverian period in East Friesland (1824), part of the Larrelt bailiwick and then part of the Loquard sub-bailiwick, which in addition to Loquard, Campen and Heiselhusen also included Rysum and Canum.
For centuries, the natural depths and drainage channels that crisscross the Krummhörn in a dense network were the most important modes of transport. Not only the villages but also many farms were connected to the city of Emden and the port of Greetsiel via ditches and canals. The boat traffic with Emden was particularly important. Village boatmen took over the supply of goods from the city and delivered agricultural products in the opposite direction: “From the Sielhafenort, smaller ships, so-called Loog ships, transported the cargo to the inland and supplied the marsh villages (loog = village). The Loogschiffe from the Krummhörn enlivened the canals of the city of Emden into the 20th century. ”As early as 1824, the cultural historian Fridrich Arends wrote in his description of the land of the Principality of East Friesland and the Harlingerland :“ There is no office more abundant than this with water. (…) In winter and spring, the grain and other goods are always transported by water both in this and in the Greetmer office, which is extremely useful in the case of the poor dirt roads in the season. "
Peat, which was mostly extracted in the East Frisian Fehnen , played an important role as heating material for the inhabitants of the Krummhörn for centuries . The peat ships brought the material on the East Frisian canal network to the villages of the Krummhörn, including to Camping. On their way back into the Fehnsiedlungen the Torfschiffer often took clay soil from the march and the manure of cattle with which they their home were dug fertilized land.
After the end of the Second World War, camping took in a large number of displaced persons from the eastern regions of the German Reich . In 1946 they made up 23.1 percent of the village population, a quota that remained constant until 1950. On July 1, 1972, camping was incorporated into the new municipality of Krummhörn.
