history

From the 1st century BC A settlement on a Wurt in Einswarden can be proven.

In 1905 the Frerichs AG shipyard settled here. Large apartment buildings are being built for the shipyard workers in the village, which was until then rather rural. With increasing industrialization, the place flourished and became the administrative center of the municipality of Blexen . The former parish hall of the parish of Blexen, which was built in 1908 and acquired by the parish in 1961, still bears witness to the importance of this district. Services were held here until the Friedenskirche was completed in 1978. In 1933 the municipality of Blexen was added to the city of Nordenham.

After the closure of Frerichswerft shortly after the Great Depression , the related 1935 Weserflug the shipyard. Mainly sea and land planes were manufactured here. The plant in Einswarden had around 4,000 employees.

After the Second World War, the Weserflug was able to resume operations in 1949, although initially only ship parts were manufactured. Since the 1960s, only aircraft parts were manufactured again, and the company merged with Focke-Wulf . It was later taken over by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm and then merged into the Airbus consortium. Components, especially fuselage parts, for various Airbus wide-body aircraft have been manufactured at the Einswarden site since the 1980s. Since 2009 the Airbus plants in Nordenham-Einswarden and Varel have formed the company Premium Aerotec with the EADS plant in Augsburg . The plant in Einswarden has around 2,300 employees.

In 2002, Rhenus Midgard , which owns the private port in Nordenham, began building a roll-on / roll-off jetty on the banks of the Weser in Einswarden. From there the Airbus fuselage shells are shipped.

No other district of Nordenham has lost as many inhabitants as Einswarden besides Friedrich-August-Hütte. Since 1987 the population has decreased by 700 people. Today Einswarden has around 2,200 residents.
