Location of Dauelsen in Lower Saxony

Dauelsen is a district of the city ​​of Verden (Aller) in the Lower Saxony district of Verden and is located in the north on the edge of the Achim-Verdener Geest . The southern, formerly independent municipality of Halsmühlen am Halsebach and the village of Eissel belong to Dauelsen .

history

The name Dauelsen was first mentioned in a document at the beginning of the 10th century.

The first signs of human activity are around 10,000 years old, however, a settlement can only be reliably proven around 4000 BC through a few small finds. Numerous barrows in the region clearly testify to a settlement in the Bronze Age . Due to the location of the barrows and the fact that they were mostly 600 m away from the next settlement , there is an approximate settlement location at that time that corresponds almost exactly to the current location. Even at the time of Roman rule, i.e. around the birth of Christ, there are references (from Claudius Ptolomaeus ) to settlements in the area of ​​Thuliphurdiums, which would later become Verden. Towards the end of the 4th century AD, however, there is no longer any evidence of the existence of a settlement in the area of ​​today's location. It is therefore assumed that the settlement was abandoned at that time for reasons that cannot be clearly explained.

In Dauelsen, district of Leutfeld, was one of the myth projects by Alfred Rosenberg and then by Heinrich Himmler, Reichsführer SS and chief of the German police, Sachsenhain . 1934–1936 as an SS cult site, established by the Reich Labor Service and local construction companies with the help of local craft businesses, it soon lost its importance again. The Sachsenhain was supported by the SS and the Research Association of German Ahnenerbe .

In addition to Braunschweig and Quedlinburg, a so-called Thingstätte was built here for the 4,500 Saxons allegedly executed by Charlemagne.

On July 1, 1972 Dauelsen was incorporated into the district town of Verden.
