history

Dünsen was first mentioned as a village in 1189 as dunnessen . Dünsen became known nationwide through the “Dünsener Dichterkreis”. This group formed an umbrella association with the authors' groups Bergisches Land (Wuppertal) and Ruhr-Mark (Hagen) under the name Die Weggemeinschaftten eV. The former East Prussian teacher Rolf Wilke from Dünsen was elected president, who wrote the novel Der Notweg des Friedrich Wilhelm Bärenbrot here in 1960 . He wrote the novel-like chronicle of a bitter decade , in which he described his first years in Bremen's rural surroundings.

Until 1977, Dünsen belonged to the county of Hoya , just like the other member communities of the Harpstedt joint community . In the course of the regional reform and the associated dissolution of the county of Hoya, Dünsen, like the remaining seven member communities of the integrated municipality, became part of the Oldenburg district.

Economy and Infrastructure

The radio tower in Dünsen
Refuge Church

The preparatory work for the air munitions facility Dünsen (Luftmuna) began in 1934, the actual construction began in 1935. The plant was built in a forest area north of the village. It produced ammunition for air defense , but also for infantry .

As is usual in all comparable systems, Wehrmacht's own locomotives were available for shunting operations in the Muna. A special feature is that today one of the machines used here (type LgII small locomotive) is parked nearby. It was delivered to Luftmuna Dünsen as early as 1935 and was in use there until the end of the war. After the war, the locomotive came into the possession of the Delmenhorst-Harpstedter Eisenbahn (DHE) in 1947 and was repaired again in 1949. From 1994 as property of the Delmenhorst-Harpstedter Eisenbahnfreunde eV (DHEF). They parked the machine at Harpstedt station in order to later restore it to its condition from the beginning of the 50s.

The Bundeswehr gradually took over certain areas of the property from the late 1950s, in 1963 it was for guarding lying there with a US unit nuclear charge. In the early 1990s, the nuclear weapons warehouse and the site ammunition defeat were dissolved.

A special building of the Evangelical Church is the so-called “Refuge Church ” for displaced persons, a building from 1967 that was converted into a cultural center due to a lack of acceptance .
