Garlstedt ( Low German Garls [t] ) has been the district of Osterholz-Scharmbeck furthest away from the center in the Osterholz district in Lower Saxony since it was incorporated in the course of the territorial reform of 1974 .
geography
Garlstedt is in the north of the "Lange Heide" and the Drepte rises near the settlement .
history
The place was first mentioned in 1250; however, numerous barrows indicate an early settlement that can be assigned to the Stone and Bronze Ages . In 1830 a lure was discovered; the "Lure von Garlstedt" was included in the municipality's coat of arms.
etymology
The term Garlstedt probably comes from Garleff, a Germanic tribal elder. An older form of the name is Garlste .
Ten mark banknote
In the years 1824 and 1825 Carl Friedrich Gauß used the survey point in "Garlste", as Garlstedt was called at the time, in the course of surveying the Kingdom of Hanover . The Gaussian survey point Garlste lies at 48.9 m above sea level. NN on the forest path "An der Forst". A section of the surveying network with "Garlste" as a trigonometric point is shown on the last 10 Deutsche Mark note , which was legal tender from 1991 to 2001.
Garrison and army school
The originally US-American Lucius D. Clay barracks is located in Garlstedt , which was built between 1975 and 1978 and opened on October 17, 1978 with a 200-man vanguard. They were soldiers of the 75th US Brigade, an advance division of the 2nd Armored Division ("Hell on wheels") from Texas, who were partially moved forward to the Federal Republic according to a new NATO doctrine. The brigade was renamed 2nd Armored Division (forward) in July 1978 and moved into the newly built barracks in Garlstedt in October 1978.
The turnover in the advance department was very high; of the soldiers who initially started their service there, hardly any were left in the barracks after just 18 months. For the period from 1978 to 1992, this results in a total of 28,000 US soldiers stationed in Garlstedt.
In the course of the Kuwait crisis in 1990, most of the US soldiers were brought to the Gulf , and 18 of them were killed in the Second Gulf War . Since most of the military material initially remained in Iraq or Kuwait, the Americans took the opportunity to close the barracks. On October 1, 1992, an official "flag retrieval" was carried out and the barracks were handed over to the army of the Bundeswehr . Since then, it has been used as a military school, in which around 11,000 soldiers and civil employees from all over Germany receive their logistical training every year. Initially, teaching and training at the army replenishment school was primarily continued at the old “Roland-Kaserne” location ( Bremen-Grohn ). In October 1999, however, with the move of the commander of the supply school and general of the supply force, the military school officially began operations in Garlstedt. On October 1, 2006, due to a change of subordination from the army to the armed forces base (SKB), the name was changed to " Bundeswehr Logistics School ".
Incorporations
On March 1, 1974 Garlstedt was incorporated into the district town of Osterholz-Scharmbeck.
Others
On 13./14. In January 1980 the sighting of a light phenomenon over Garlstedt caused a certain stir. Since the new American barracks were involved, even the alarm riot of NATO rose to intercept the alleged UFO . What it was ultimately about could not be clarified until today.
In 1996 Garlstedt became known nationwide through the kidnapping of the Hamburg multimillionaire Jan Philipp Reemtsma on March 25th, because the kidnappers used a cellar in a house in Garlstedt as a hiding place. (Coincidentally, through Philipp Fürchtegott Reemtsma , the Reemtsma family has one of its roots in Osterholz-Scharmbeck and Garlstedt is part of the city.)
Culture and sights
Buildings
- In Garlstedt there are a number of burial mounds from the Bronze Age (1800–700 BC). The most impressive find in one of these burial mounds is probably the Garlstedt Lure , which also served as a template for the Garlstedt municipal coat of arms. The fragments of this Bronze Age Germanic wind instrument discovered during road works in 1830 are currently the southernmost find of such an instrument. There are numerous prehistoric burial mounds in the Elm forest between Hülseberger Straße and Garlstedter Kirchweg.
- Brockmannsmühle: courtyard and water mill from the 14th century. A flywheel with transmission and lead-acid batteries already provided electricity when gas lighting was still dominant in Bremen.
Green spaces and recreation
- Schmidts Kiefern: Pine forest with partially 150-year-old pines in the area of the Garlstedt military training area.
- Forest nature trail: with information boards about the life of flora and fauna in the Garlstedter forest.
societies
With the SV Garlstedt Garlstedt has a sports club whose athletes are active in the areas of badminton, walking, gymnastics, children's gymnastics, aerobics and football. The two men's and several youth football teams all play at district level. In 1965 the Bremen Club zur Vahr opened an 18-hole golf course, on which the "German Open" was held in 1985, on the 80th anniversary of the club.
