Affiliation Dötlingen

For a long time Dötlingen was under the rule of the Oldenburg Count Line, the Archbishop of Bremen, the Bishop of Munster and the King of Denmark. This was linked to arson because of the foreign policy entanglements in the Danish era by French, Swedish and Lüneburg troops. Dötlingen belonged to Kurhannover for 20 years and to Russia for four days under Catherine II . Dötlingen became French under Napoléon Bonaparte and the municipality of Dötlingen became the "Mairie de Dötlingen".

National Socialist Period

The community of Dötlingen has existed in its current form since 1933. During the National Socialist era , the National Socialists named Dötlingen in 1936 a “model village”. Dötlingen became a popular destination for domestic and foreign delegations. A large boulder with a swastika symbol was placed on the nearby hill “Gierenberg”. Today the stone fell. The Tabkenhof was destroyed by bombs shortly before the end of the Second World War , and the old half-timbered house burned down. But it was rebuilt after the war.

On April 14, 1945, two days before British troops reached the place, the farmer Willi Rogge was murdered by members of the Werwolf organization . From the perspective of the National Socialists, Rogge did not want to fit in and was seen by them as a troublemaker, a flaw for the national community, and that in the Reichsmodelldorf, the only one in Germany . In 2009 a memorial was inaugurated in Dötlingen , which "first reminds of Willi Rogge ... but then of all civilian victims of the Third Reich". The initiative came from the community and local history association Dötlingen. The Willi Rogge case became known to a wider public again in April 2014 through a report in Spiegel magazine .

coat of arms

By order of January 21, 1952, the Lower Saxony Minister of the Interior granted the municipality of Dötlingen the right to use the coat of arms described below .

Blazon : In yellow (gold) a blue rafter , above it two red roses with a yellow (gold) calyx and green sepals, underneath a cross made of five square red stones and placed on top.

Reason : The coat of arms combines several historical elements. The rafter is located in the coat of arms of the Wildeshauser citizen Otto von Dötlingen (1366) and is the only heraldic traditional reference point for the name Dötlingen. The roses are taken from the coat of arms of the Count of Oldenburg-Wildeshausen , who were wealthy in the Dötlinger area and who tried very hard to consolidate their sovereign rights. The stone tile cross is borrowed from the older coat of arms of the Lords of Wale , who lived in Dötlingen for a long time and owned a Junkerhof .
