history

Dose was probably founded in the early Middle Ages. It was first mentioned in 1425 in connection with the chief Hilmer up the can . Hilmersburg, named after this chief, was just one of several of these fortified stone houses in cans called "castles". However, none of these castles existed as early as the 17th century. In the early Middle Ages, Dose belonged to the Frisian country of Östringen , later to the glory or to the Friedeburg office, which finally became part of the Wittmund office in the 19th century.

The family of chief Hilmer, who was related to the Wittmund chief family of the Kankena, played an important role in East Frisia at times. They put chiefs in cans, Reepsholt and lords of the castle in Friedeburg. After the Second World War, the population rose briefly to over 400 due to refugees, but then fell back to the level that the place has in principle held for 150 years.

On July 1, 1972, the former communities Abickhafe , Dose, Hoheesche and Reepsholt merged to form the community Reepsholt. In the course of the municipal reform on August 16, 1972, the municipality Friedeburg was formed from the previous municipalities Bentstreek , Etzel , Friedeburg, Hesel , Horsten , Marx , Reepsholt, Wiesede and Wiesedermeer .

Two Gulfhöfe in the town center are designated as architectural monuments .
