Hinrichsfehn is a district of Wiesmoor in the Aurich district in East Frisia .

history

The district is the youngest of the Wiesmoors and was not created until after the Second World War . The initiator for the establishment of the settlement was the director of the peat power plant of the northwest German power plants , Jan Hinrichs. The settlement was named after him.

The area on which the district was built had already been cultivated. The first 63 houses in the new district were built from peat sod and clay and covered with thatch. By 1960 the district grew to 830 people, which resulted in a school building in 1951 and the establishment of the Hinrichsfehn sports club in 1955. In 1965, the Evangelical-Lutheran Reconciliation Church was consecrated as a subsidiary church of the Wiesmoor Church. In 1987 it became the church of the independent Hinrichsfehn Reconciliation Church. Currently (as of 2010) more than 1000 people live in Hinrichsfehn.

The district was designed as a gardening settlement from the beginning. To this day it is shaped by tree nurseries and other horticultural companies. The  southernmost commercial area of ​​the city is on Oldenburger Strasse ( Landesstrasse 12); it is closest to the federal motorway 28 . In Hinrichsfehn there was the Fehnkaserne from 1964 to 1993, which housed the anti-aircraft missile battalion 26. There has been a golf course in the district since 1987 (then 18 holes, now 27 holes), making it the largest golf course in East Frisia.
