history

Foundation and name

Driftsethe is mentioned for the first time in a document from Archbishop Friedrich I of Bremen from 1105 about the extent of the Obedience Bramstedt as "dreptisati".

The place name probably means "Those sitting on the Drepte", whereby the Drepte is a tributary of the Weser, which limits the community to the east, behind Tannendorf.

The place name is said to be of Chauky origin.

Early archaeological finds

Early archaeological finds indicate a long history as a settlement area: According to ancient counts, 21 burial mounds are said to have existed around Driftsethe. They can be attributed to the younger Stone Age. However, none could be properly explored. Probably the last stone grave was found by chance at the end of the 1890s “next to the Seedorf (now Dietrich) farm in Ackerfelde, deep below the surface”. While cultivating the heather, southwest of the village, an urn cemetery was discovered in 1882/1883, but no detailed investigation was carried out. However, later urn finds when driving sand on the Weißenberg allow the conclusion that a date can be made in the early Germanic-Saxon period. The place can be found for the first time in records of the Bremen Church.

Incorporations

On January 1, 2014, the joint community of Hagen and its member communities were dissolved and the new community of Hagen in Bremen was established.

Buildings

Maple Avenue

Over a century ago was a sycamore -Allee (1904) by Carl Arend Ficke, the former owner of the farm and house Wittenborgh planted by the White Mountain. It is still the private route to this property today. The avenue consists of over a hundred trees and is around 500 meters long.

By ordinance of the district of Cuxhaven of December 17, 2008, this maple avenue was declared a protected part of the landscape.

Barrows

Weissenberg Illjes Mausoleum
Mausoleum Driftsethe SG Hagen

At Weißenberg there is a group of three barrows and a larger single grave. These probably come from the Middle Bronze Age and are therefore approx. 3000 to 4000 years old. These are probably the last surviving barrows in a group of 25, in some cases very large, hills. These are of particular cultural and historical importance because they are the last surviving example of the erection of burial mounds on the heather on the edge of the marshland in this area. In the middle of such tumuli there is often a wreath made of larger stones in which the urn and, if necessary, accessories were placed. At the end of the 19th century, a bronze sword was found in a barrow east of Kassebruch.

Illjes mausoleum on Weißenberg

The mausoleum of the Illjes family was built on Weißenberg after the death of Jacob Illjes in 1854. Jakob Illjes originally came from Sandstedt from a large marshland and after an unfortunate love story with a distant relative of the march poet Hermann Allmers moved to the wasteland on the Weißenberg. There he founded the farm "Wittenborgh". He died at the age of 40. It was his last will to be buried on the Weißenberg with a view towards Sandstedt. His parents therefore had the mausoleum built, in which they themselves were later buried.

mausoleum

Behind the cemetery in Driftsethe you can find the listed mausoleum. It was about. Built in 1889 by the Ficke family and is now owned by the von Wurmb family, descendants of the Ficke family.

Nature reserves

The 140 hectare LU 118 Bargsmoor / Rechtenflethermoor nature reserve and the CUX 39 nature reserve have existed in Driftsethe since 1985.  As early as 1938, the 21 ha “wood on the White Mountains” was declared a CUX 39 landscape protection area by the Wesermünde administrative district. There used to be a ground covered with heather, which is now overgrown with trees appropriate to the location.

Myths and legends

There used to be a castle on Weissenberg, with a capricious and hard-hearted mistress who was only concerned with her own well-being. One day the kitchen maid suffered a great mishap. While cleaning, she dropped one of the silver cups into the well and weeping told her mistress of her misfortune. But unmoved, she asked the maid to get the cup back. In her distress, she climbed into the well and drowned. And since then, every year on the day of her death, a white female figure looking for the mug has appeared here. Soon afterwards the lady of the castle also died and was buried in the family crypt there. When the crypt was opened years later, only a heart-shaped stone was found, which has been called the heart stone ever since.
