Waters

The floodplain near Harsefeld

The small river Aue runs through the community and flows through Klein Hollenbeck , the northern edge of the core town and Issendorf . The river forms a valley here, the Auetal, which is designated as a landscape protection area and partly as a nature reserve ( floodplain and side valleys ). The floodplain flows together with the Landwetter to Lühe in Horneburg and flows into the Elbe after another ten kilometers .

The Aue has some tributaries, such as the Rellerbach , which flows through the core town and flows into the Aue near the municipality border with Bargstedt, and the Steinbeck , which rises near Kammerbusch, flows through Ruschwedel and the Steinbeckforst and near the municipality border with Bliedersdorf in the Aue flows. The Rellerbach is partially dammed into ponds.

By the breakdown of gravel , sand and clay , some small in Harsefeld lakes emerged as the Tonkuhle and the lake in the former gravel pit Am Sande . There are efforts to put the former gravel pit under nature protection. At the moment there is mainly fishing there. A tourist use is likely to be absent. There are also numerous small and large ponds in the municipality.

Except for the 694 hectare Braken natural forest , the Harselah near Griemshorst and the Steinbeckforst, as well as the forest areas in the Aueniederung and side valleys nature reserve, not much has been preserved of large forest stands ; large parts of the landscape were cultivated for agricultural purposes. The forest areas Wieh and Meinkenhop also extend on the western and southwestern edge of the core town . Some moor areas have also been preserved, for example the Kahle and Wilde Moor , a drained high moor with extensive stocks of beech - pine - moor forest .

history

Arch-Abbot of Harsefeld , bronze by sculptor Carsten Eggers

To the northeast of Harsefeld there are 22 burial mounds on the Hohekamp. The largest burial mound at the highest point had a diameter of almost 25 meters and a height of four meters. The royal grave mound - also called "Osterberg" - was dug through by the owner in 1910/11. An archaeological investigation took place.

The construction of Harsefeld Castle is dated in the chronicle of Thietmar von Merseburg to 969 AD. It was the seat of the Udons until the establishment of the County of Stade . After their resignation, the area was used as Harsefeld Monastery by the Benedictine Order with a church built in the 15th century . In 1546 the monastery and church were almost completely destroyed by the knight Pentz from Mecklenburg due to financial debts. The late Gothic abbey church of St. Marien and Bartholomäi was rebuilt in 1648 with a tower.

“Below Harsefeld, the Steinbach flows into the Lühe, which is why Harsefeld, on the left side of the Steinbach, falls to Bremen,” wrote landscape director Wilhelm von Hodenberg in 1858. “In the actual Harsefeld is Geest, watered by the Aue and Lühe; Old and new monasteries, located on the Este, usually have boggy ground, ”explains Peter von Kobbe in 1824.

The official courtyard building built in 1740 on the edge of the monastery complex is also of historical importance. The Friedrich Huth library is located there. It was donated in 1845 by the cultural patron Friedrich Huth (1777–1864). The merchant grew up in Harsefeld and made a considerable fortune as a banker in London. Shortly before his death he visited his homeland again and decided to donate a public library for the citizens of Harsefeld. For this he donated 1750 gold thalers. Initially the library comprised around 1,000 volumes, and soon afterwards there were 3,000 copies. The library is still one of the best equipped in the Stade district. In 1998, in honor of the generous donor, a larger than life bronze bust was unveiled in front of the courtyard. The work of art was created by the sculptor Carsten Eggers .

On May 30, 1799, a total of 80 residential and auxiliary buildings burned down in the Harsefeld patch. At 11 o'clock at noon, when the residents were working in the fields, the conflagration started, as reported in the "Hanoverian advertisements" of June 17, 1799. Within four hours, 53 houses with 21 outbuildings, including the rectory, burned down. Little has been saved. 64 families have become homeless and robbed of their belongings and goods.

Meaning of the name

It is estimated that harp is derived from the Old Saxon horsa or hers = Ross , horse, so that the name can be interpreted Harsefeld with "Field of Horses" or "field of the horses." This interpretation is also supported by name variants in medieval documents (see below), such as Herseveld (969), Rossenvelde (1101) and so on.

Another theory is that harse should come from millet.

Another tradition says that the name Harsefeld was given by the first settlers. According to tradition, they let a blind horse run until it stopped to graze in a lush pasture. The Harsefeld settlement was founded on this pasture, which, as described above, is certainly derived from the Old Saxon term horsa for horse.

Mention in old documents

Various sources provide information about Harsefeld and its medieval spellings.

Annalista Saxo.

a. 969. [Comes Heinricos de Stadhe] construxit castrum in loco qui Herseveld dicitur. - a. 979. Duobus monasteriis, scilicet in Alesleve et Hersevelden constitutis… - a. 1010. Heinricus comes, filius Heinrici de Stathe, destruxit castrum Herseveld , quod pater suus exstruxerat, et fecit ex eo monasterium et congregationem canonicorum. - a. 1087. Iste Udo et mater eius… expulerunt clericos de loco sue constructionis Herseveld et posuerunt illic monachos. - a. 1101. Congregatio monachorum in Rossenvelde cepit institui… - a. 1106. Udo, marchio aquilonaris ... ad locum qui Rossenvelde dicitur est delatus, ... de hoc seculo migravit ... Thietmar (a. 994) and Albert v. Stade (a. 1144) commemorate the civitas Hersevel and the castrum Hersevelde .

Incorporations

On July 1, 1972, the communities of Hollenbeck, Issendorf and Ruschwedel were incorporated. In addition, a part of the municipality of Bargstedt, with around 100 inhabitants at that time, was added.

religion

Religious Statistics

With around 7,000 Protestants, Harsefeld is strongly evangelical-Lutheran (54.2%). With a share of 5.9% there is a small Roman Catholic minority. The remaining 39.8% of the population did not confess to any denomination or belong to other denominations / religions (as of May 2011).

Evangelical Lutheran parish Harsefeld

St. Marien and Bartholomäi Church

The Evangelical Lutheran parish is the largest parish in the parish area. It is responsible for the towns of Harsefeld, Weißenfelde and Griemshorst and is divided into two parishes. Services are held every Sunday at 10 a.m.

The church building of the parish is the St. Marien and Bartholomäi Church in the monastery park. It was the collegiate church of the Harsefeld monastery . The current church building was built in 1583 after the old church burned down after two fires in the 16th century and was rebuilt several times. It was given its current form in the neo-Gothic style in 1856/60. Extensive renovations took place in the 1950s and 2014.

The Prostestants from the districts of Hollenbeck and Issendorf, which are also evangelical-Lutheran, are parish in Bargstedt or Ruschwedel in Apensen for historical reasons .

Boulders in the garden of stones

The Garden of Stones was opened in 2003 on Ehrenberg, northeast of Harsefeld , an exhibition area that is open all year round and shows 170 boulders , including flint , granite and basalt . They come mainly from fields and sand pits that were dug for the construction of the A26 motorway . With the help of the stones and other explanations on boards, geological processes are explained to the visitor, the use of erratic boulders is illustrated or the processes involved in rock formation are described. The visitor goes through twelve stations that form a tour through the garden.

Grefenkreuz

The Grefenkreuz is located on the L 124 between Harsefeld and Helmste-Feldkurg on a prehistoric burial mound . This landmark originally served as a border marker between the jurisdiction of the Harsefeld Monastery and that of the Horneburg Patrimonial Court . Worrynate Grefen were active in the administration of precisely defined small areas. In addition, the Grefenkreuz served as an orientation for travelers in the desolate heathland, where there used to be an intersection.

Harsefeld received its first rail link in 1902 with the construction of the Buchholz – Bremervörde – Bremerhaven line . In 1928 the line to Buxtehude was added. Passenger traffic was discontinued on both routes in 1968/1969; Since 1993, Harsefeld has been approached by EVB passenger trains again, which commute between Bremerhaven and Buxtehude station .
