About this picture

Hambergen is a municipality of the combined municipality of Hambergen and is located on the northern edge of the Osterholz district in Lower Saxony .

geography

Hambergen is located in the North German Plain 37 kilometers north of Bremen . It is the most populous municipality in the joint municipality . Over 5400 residents live in an area of ​​around 30 square kilometers. The old village thus has the function of a center within the integrated community.

Hambergen consists of the districts Hambergen, Heilsdorf, Heißenbüttel, Kiebitzsegen, Oldenbüttel, Spreddig and Ströhe . Hambergen also developed into a popular community in the Osterholz district because of its good transport links to Bremen and Bremerhaven .

history

Hambergen was first mentioned in a document in 1056 as a small Ambergen estate owned by the Archbishop of Bremen . The field name Up den Eddelhofe is still a current reference to the estate. Here was the core of the old village. The Knights of Luneberg were often treasurers in the Archdiocese of Bremen. The Germanic tribe of the Chauken used to live here and then merged with the Saxons . The old Pippelnburg was north-west of Hambergen; today a small hill overgrown with trees.

The farmers from Hambergen with their isolated settlements and farms built their own chapel in 1335 as a subsidiary of the main church in Scharmbeck, to which they belonged. In 1546 Hambergen received its own clergyman. In 1581 the chapel was enlarged by an extension.

An old Hamberger farm register with 22 farms came from 1536. In 1670 about 400 people lived in the village. The Bullwinkeler Hof is known with 84 acres of land, on which a water mill was operated until 1846.

In 1752 a baroque church was built, which received an organ in 1850. During the Napoleonic Wars , troops of many nationalities - French, English, Scots, Dutch and Russians - had to be tolerated and received; In 1806 there were even six hundred English soldiers who were taken care of. From 1811 to 1813 Hambergen was in the French canton of Osterholz .

The forest, heather and swampy lowlands of the Giehler Bach increasingly became an agricultural landscape. Crafts and trades increased in the 19th century; the peat litter factory, two brick factories, a cigar factory, the brown beer brewery and a schnapps distillery were also built. The railway line from Bremen to Geestemünde with the stations in Lübberstedt and Oldenbüttel accelerated the development of the place since 1862.

The service sector is important for Hambergen. Before 1945 Hambergen gained regional importance through the horseshoeing . From the 1970s to the mid-1980s, Kaffee Hag was based in the Kiebitzsegen district. Several commercial areas offer space for manufacturing industry; the industrial area in the Kiebitzegen district is occupied by several companies. Solar power has been increasingly generated since 2013 .

Compared to an older wind farm in the border area of ​​the municipalities of Hambergen and Wallhöfen, another wind farm was to be built in the border area of ​​the municipalities of Lübberstedt and Hambergen , which should be commissioned in the 2nd quarter of 2016. The seven systems are 186 meters high and generate 57 million kilowatt hours of electricity for 18,000 households each year. The structural investments amount to almost 35 million euros.

  6. On the question of what a "rural school internship" was in teacher training at that time, here is a quote (from: Cellesche Zeitung, Celle already had a university, January 30, 2015): "In the first semester, every student had a three-week socio-educational internship, im In the second semester, a three-week city school internship and in the third a rural school internship. After each semester they wrote an internship report, in the second semester a semester paper on a completely free topic. Another mandatory joint task for all semesters was the weekly folk song singing with instrumentalists every Wednesday from 12 until 1 p.m. with Prof. Schmidt. Compulsory course - a special feature of Celle that was widely noticed and probably unique in Germany - the instrumental lessons were given for each individual, mostly in the private apartments of the Celle music teachers.
