history

Dreibergen

The Rasteder Chronik (a chronicle written in Rastede Monastery ) mentions Helle for the first time in 1134 at the inauguration of Elmendorf Castle in today's Dreibergen . Dreibergen got its name from three artificially raised hills that formed the foundation of the former Elmendorf Castle, a three-hill castle . Two of the hills were moths and housed wooden residential towers, the third hill (the outer ward) was for the cabins of the servants invested. The entire area has been under nature protection since 1943 .

Opposite this castle was the church, which was built around 1124 at the time of Count Egilmar II and was consecrated to St. Bartholomew . It was canceled in the 15th century. According to legend, the bricks were used to expand the church in Zwischenahn. The name of the village used to be Altenkirchen , which is only preserved today as a corridor or street name.

Meyerhausen is right next to Dreibergen . The name is derived from a Meierhof that the Knights of Elmendorf founded here and which passed into Oldenburg ownership in a contract between the Knight Dietrich von Elmendorf and the Counts of Oldenburg in 1331 . To the north of Meyerhausen borders Kreyenkamp , which is still sparsely populated today. The old village of Loye (originally: Loie ), which no longer exists today, must have been in this area . Further north you come to Hellermoor , which the Heller farmers used to dig peat until the beginning of the 19th century. Even today the Hellermoor is not particularly densely populated.

traffic

Although Helle is crossed by Autobahn 28 in the north , it is not directly connected to it. The next connection points are west of Bad Zwischenahn West and east of Zwischenahner Meer . Line 370 of the Weser-Ems Bus connects Helles to public transport .
