Rivers

To the north, the Lune flows on the boundary between Stubben and Düring and to the west of Heise, the small river Gackau , which is popularly known as the floodplain , flows. It flows into the Lune and at the time of peat extraction, with its connected canals, was the transport route for the peat barges from Kransmoor , Heise and Oberheise to Bremerhaven and Bremen .

Extension of the local area

A few decades ago, Heise and Oberheise were still a separate municipality called Heise, but they were eventually incorporated into the municipality of Hollen. As a tradition, Heise still has his own shooting club. The volunteer fire brigade has also been retained in view of the expansion of the districts. Hollen is one of the larger towns in the Beverstedt community.

history

Hollen is mentioned for the first time in 1105 in a document from Archbishop Friedrich I of Bremen in connection with the Bramstedter Church. Today Hollen belongs to the parish of Lunestedt. At least since the Thirty Years' War, Hollen belonged to the Office of Hagen, which existed under Swedish, Hanover and Prussian rule until 1885 and then became part of the Geestemünde district. In 1927, Hollen - Heise and Oberheise are still independent in the Geestemünde district, Hagen district court , Freschluneberg post office, Wesermünde-Land tax office. In 1932 this district became part of the Wesermünde district , this in turn in 1977 in the Cuxhaven district.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1968, the previously independent municipality of Heise (with Oberheise) was incorporated into the municipality of Hollen. In 1971 the municipality of Hollen became one of the nine member municipalities of the integrated municipality of Beverstedt .

Since November 1, 2011, Hollen has been a place in the unified municipality of Beverstedt.

Sacrificial stone

The so-called “ sacrificial stone ” lies in the circular firs, which is no longer easy to find today . Several attempts at splitting from previous centuries have not been able to split this stone. In the 1930s there was a forest hut that was a popular hiking destination.
