Ditzumerverlaat (also Ditzumer-Verlaat or Ditzumer Verlaat ) is a village in the Rheiderland , an East Frisian region in northwest Germany . Politically, the village belongs to the municipality of Bunde and is the main town and partly also a synonym for the village of Dollart . The term "Verlaat" means in Low German , a small lock that the near Ditzums was lying place its name. This lock no longer exists today.

population

geography
Ditzumerverlaat lies mostly along a former dike that protected the inland from the floods of the Dollart . Due to this elevated position, “auf Verlaat” and not “in Verlaat” are used in connection with the place. With the construction of further outer dikes, the diked and thus drained land was repopulated. The entire place is therefore on fertile marshland . The villages around Ditzumerverlaat border in the north and east on the municipality of Jemgum , in the west on the Dollart and in the south on the localities of Bunde and Bunderhee .
The Ditzumer Sieltief flows through the village and serves as a drainage channel for the low-lying land.
history
Ditzumerverlaat was created in 1753 from the former village of Wynhamsterverlaat. In the First World War, 56 inhabitants were killed. A school was built in 1935 and served as a primary school until 2008 . In 2008 the school was torn down because it cracked and it continued to sink. In 2009 the new school was opened. In the Second World War were 154 inhabitants. In addition, both mills in the village were destroyed. In 1960 it was connected to the water network. In 1966, the joint municipality of Dollart, named after the nearby sea bosom, is founded and consists of the localities Ditzumerhammrich , Ditzumerverlaat, Bunderhammrich and Heinitzpolder and Kanalpolder . The place Landschaftspolder joins this joint municipality in 1969. In the course of the municipal reform in 1973, the joint congregation merged to form a congregation and became a member of the Bunde joint congregation. The town has been supplied with energy from the natural gas network since 1976 . Two years later it was connected to the sewer system . In 2001 the Dollart parish was merged into the Bunde unified parish formed from the integrated parish .
