history

Dänikhorst (Denechorst, Denichorst) was the seat of a wooden castle until about 1509. The Oldenburg document book shows Gerhardus Sleppergrelle as the owner of this castle in 1305 . Around 1509 the Sleppergrelle family sold the castle to Count Johann the Elder from Oldenburg . This let the castle fall into disrepair. The name Dänikhorst can be derived from the old German words Tannicht for forest and Horst as an elevated safe place.

Former school in Dänikhorst

On 20 June 1820, requested peasantry Dänikhorst the "Ducal Consortium" in Oldenburg, to be able to build its own school. The letter available in the Oldenburg State Archives cites as a reason: "The children do not need so much time so that they cannot sweat out what they have learned so easily on the way."

The school was built in 1829 through the purchase of a mutt station and opened in 1830 with financial help from the church and the Grand Duke. This school received a new building in 1891 for then 12,788.45 marks.

After the school burned down shortly after the occupation by Canadian soldiers on April 27, 1945, the students from Dänikhorst first visited the school in Ohrwege . The school there resumed classes on August 24, 1945. At that time, a single teacher there taught around 250 children from the two farmers' associations Dänikhorst and Ohrwege. After setting up a school barracks, the 77 Dänikhorst students could then be taught again in their own farmers from October 14, 1946. The new school building on the main street of the village was completed in 1950 and an outbuilding was added in 1962.

From 1948 to 1978 the school operated a climate station on behalf of the Meteorological Office . The weather data obtained in this way was published every month in the Nordwest-Zeitung.

After the end of the school year 1973/1974, the school was closed by decision of the council of the Bad Zwischenahn community. The primary school students have attended Rostrup primary school since then . The school building has since been used as a village community center.
