history

From 1971 to 1986, extensive archaeological excavations were carried out in the Flögeln settlement chamber by the Lower Saxony Institute for Historical Coastal Research in Wilhelmshaven . Settlements from the younger Stone Age ( funnel cup culture ) through the Middle Ages (the Dornburg ) to the early modern period were uncovered. Many finds are exhibited in the Bederkesa Castle Museum.

The name of the village was first mentioned in documents from Bremen in 1204 as a vlogeling . The Welf ministerial family of the same name was first mentioned in 1144. The Knights of Flögeln were related to the neighboring von Bederkesa family. Their property came in 1381/1411 with the Bederkesa rule in the possession of the city of Bremen as the Bederkesa office, which was ruled by Swedish in 1654, Danish in 1712 and became part of the Electorate of Hanover in 1715 .

The settlement was formed around the St. Pauli Church . The parish was separated from Ringstedt before 1295 and a separate pastor was appointed here for the first time. The dynasty of the Knights von Flögeln died out after 1376 and the church inherited the property and took over the tasks of the property.

The Gothic St. Pauli Church was built around 1500, the neo-Gothic nave from 1852 and the tower from 1905. The Reformation was introduced in 1534 by the city of Bremen for the Bederkesa office. Against the resistance of the community, a Lutheran pastor (Bernhard Havemann, 1625-1691) was appointed by the Electorate of Hanover in 1659.

A first sexton in Flögeln was appointed in 1587. School lessons took place in the Küsterei from 1610. A single-class schoolhouse on the north side of the churchyard has been known since the 18th century; New buildings were built in 1794 and 1852.

coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms of Flögeln comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Albert de Badrihaye , who designed around 80 coats of arms in the district of Cuxhaven.

	Blazon : "In blue over a silver wave base, two turned away silver crane wings ."
	Justification of the coat of arms: The wings of the crane indicate the name of the community. According to a presumption by Eduard Rüther , the noble family de Vlogelingen , mentioned in a document in the 13th century , also had a talking coat of arms derived from the place name . The silver wave base points to the Flögelner See .
