Charlottenpolder
Charlottenpolder is a village in East Frisia . Politically it belongs to Bunde , the capital of the municipality of the same name in the district of Leer .
Location and area
Charlottenpolder is located west of Bunde. The 255 hectare polder with very fertile limestone marsh soils was diked in 1682. Charlottenpolder is located at heights between 0.3 meters above and 0.3 meters below sea level . The low-lying area is drained to the north via the Mühlentief.
history
The polder, which was diked in 1682, was first documented in 1719 under its current name. It is named after the East Frisian Princess Christine Charlotte (1665–1690) who drove the dike. At first, the settlers apparently did not organize themselves as a community. The polder belonged to the Vogtei Bunde and thus to the Amt Leerort and from 1817 to the Amt Weener. After the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia in 1866, the offices were dissolved and circles were formed in 1885 ; in many cases the offices were formed directly into circles or a circle was formed from several offices (or parts of the offices). Since then, Charlottenpolder has belonged to the Weener district , which has been part of the Leer district since 1932.
The scattered settlement was an independent municipality until January 1, 1973, before it was incorporated into the Bunde district as part of the administrative reform in Lower Saxony.
