Hoben (Wesermarsch)

Raised one is today Zuggraben in Wesermarsch in Lower Saxony Wesermarsch called the south of Beckum Sieltief branches. In the south, this watercourse ends near a road called Hoben in the municipality of Stadland . To the west of the Zuggraben lies the "Melioration District Hoben West und Ost" , which belongs to the "Stadlander Sielacht " as " Melioration District VI" .

In the future, the “coastal motorway” A 20 from Westerstede via Bremerhaven to Stade is to run through the area of Alten Hobens, north of the Strohauser Sieltiefs . The planning approval procedure for this section of the A 20 was initiated on September 28, 2012.

history

The remains of the moor in the form of the Oberahnesche fields in the Jade Bay (in the northwest of the map) and the Groden Hoben (in the east) after the dike in the "Neuesten Hobens" (1645)

The name "Hoben" goes back to raised bog areas that were east of the Jade in the Middle Ages and that were lifted by the North Sea water during storm surges . Over time, the edges of these moors broke off and they disintegrated into islands in the Jade Bay , which formed in the course of several severe storm surges. The floating moor near Sehestedt is one of the last remnants of this non-diked moor .

A large part of the Wesermarsch was flooded by 1511 . During this time, the name Hoben was transferred to the northwestern section of the Lockfleth , a tidal current that connected the Jade Bay with the Weser and made the Stadland an island in what was then the Weser Delta. From the 16th century, the Hoben tidal flow was diked from the south. The groden obtained in this way were given the names Alter Hoben , Neuer Hoben and Newest Hoben . The peculiarity of the Hoben areas with their very heavy soil was that until 1848 they were not “subject to compulsory farming”, but were farmed as “aristocratic free land” by the domains of the Count of Oldenburg .
