history

Settlement of the place began at the end of the 19th century on a hitherto undeveloped moorland west of Holthusen . For the first time, the place is recorded under its current name on a map from 1805. It is a combination of the name of the original settlement with heather and is a common name for the region for a new colony on the former communal pasture. The place grew rapidly and in 1848 was already larger than the mother village with 352 inhabitants.
