geography

On the cross channel at Hundsmühlen

Hundsmühlen lies in a geest landscape at the intersection of Hunte and Lethe . In the east there is a marshland on the other side of the Hunte , in the north Hundsmühlen is bounded by the coastal channel . In the west and south, Hundsmühlen originally bordered extensive moors, which were drained until around 1930.

history

Former mansion on Achternmeerer Straße

Matthäuskirche at the corner of Hunoldstrasse and Nordkamp

The place name is derived from Hunoldes Molen , a water mill that stood in the 14th century on the Lethe flowing past the place. At that time, the mill was owned by the Knights of Everse (today: Eversten ). When Johannes von Everse gave his daughter Almode to the Blankenburg Monastery , he contractually guaranteed the sisters of the Order of Preachers who were resident there an annual amount of money or a corresponding amount of wheat from the mill. In August 2010, the place celebrated its 700th anniversary, based on the document signed in 1310. In 1754 the water mill was abandoned due to its poor condition and rebuilt further upstream, southwest of Wardenburg , due to property disputes . The old coat of arms of the original mill was affixed there and can still be seen today.

Hundsmühlen gained economic importance through the peat digging in Wittemoor - between Hundsmühlen, Südmoslesfehn and Achternmeer - especially after Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig had acquired the estate and had the drainage and peat extraction there run as planned. In 1935 Hundsmühlen was declared a closed place of the municipality of Wardenburg. The coastal canal between Hunte and Ems was also completed at this time . In the course of the influx of refugees after the Second World War , Hundsmühlen, like the whole of the Oldenburger Land, grew very quickly. The construction of residential areas on former arable land ( maize cultivation ) is still ongoing.

religion

In 1999 Hundsmühlen was expanded to include the modern St. Matthew Church . This church is only the third Protestant church in the Wardenburg community and is therefore visited by residents of the entire community.

Economy and Infrastructure

The main traffic arteries in Hundsmühlen are the Hunoldstrasse , which runs through the town in a north-south direction, and the Diedrich-Dannemann-Strasse that joins this street . The Hunoldstraße leads in the north over the coastal canal to Oldenburg (Eversten district) and in the south it merges into the Hundsmühler Landstraße leading to Tungeln . The Diedrich-Dannemann -Straße is named after a Wardenburger mayor (1906-1933) and in the Reichstag and Oldenburgische Diet (DVP / DNVP) who last used in Hundsmühlen, and performs parallel to the coast to channel Südmoslesfehn . An important side street is the Achternmeerer Straße , which leads through the former moor to Achternmeer .

Every half hour, the city bus 314 of Verkehr und Wasser GmbH runs past the Kanalbrücke stop over Hundsmühler Krug / Wöbken along Hunoldstraße to the final stop Am Vogelbusch , which is in front of the entrance to the neighboring town of Tungeln . The last trip of the 314 from Lappan is extended at 11.45 p.m. via Hundsmühlen to the Wardenburg market square; On Sunday, the 314 takes over the route of the Weser-Ems bus line to Wardenburg several times during the day, following the regular route via Marschweg, Sodenstich and Hundsmühler Straße to Am Vogelbusch . Since the timetable change in December 2008, this route has primarily been provided by solo natural gas buses from VWG's subsidiary Nordbus .

A special feature of Hundsmühlen is the fact that part of the town can be reached by phone using the Oldenburg area code , but by post using the Wardenburg postcode .

Culture and sights

With the growth after the Second World War, public life also awoke in Hundsmühlen, which was still rural at the time. In 1952 the local association Hundsmühlen was founded .

The Hundsmühlen elementary school was built in 1949, and a gymnasium was added in 1973 and a new building in 1985. Today it includes 216 (school year 2008/09) students from Hundsmühlen and the neighboring town of Tungeln . The Hundsmühler Turnverein was founded in 1948. With around 1,100 members, it is one of the largest sports clubs in the Oldenburg district. Together with SV Moslesfehn and SV Tungeln, he owns a large sports hall on Diedrich-Dannemann-Straße. In addition, the judo club Achternmeer-Hundsmühlen eV is located in the immediate vicinity, also on Diedrich-Dannemann-Straße in Hundsmühlen. This club with more than 1400 members has a budo and health center as well as its own fitness studio.

Gut Hundsmühlen , built in the 19th century at the southern exit of the village, is a mansion built in the classicism style . This building housed the children's and youth library until 1999 and was until recently an education center of the LEB ( rural adult education Lower Saxony ).

The former village community center , popular as an event center , has been used as a sports facility by the Hundsmühler Turnverein since the beginning of 2016.
