history

The earliest evidence for the presence of humans in the area of ​​today's district are finds from the Stone Age. It is believed that Westersander, located on the Geest , was founded by settlers from Shirum in the early Middle Ages before the year 1000.

The settlement of the other villages began in 1637 on the initiative of Emden merchants who were cut off from peat deliveries from the Netherlands due to the Thirty Years' War . In that year Lübbert Cornelius bought an area that was originally called Ostersander Vehn , but was later named Lübbertsfehn after its founder . The first settlers were assigned to Weene in the church . A fact that has remained to this day.

On the initiative of Rudolf Pott, who also came from Emden, the construction of the Hüllenerfehn began two years later. Pott had taken over 100 Diemat Morast from the Counts of East Friesland in hereditary lease. The place was initially called Westersander Vehn , it was later renamed Pottsfehn, and finally Hüllenerfehn because of the hilly surroundings.

The Christmas flood of 1717 hit the villages hard. In Hüllenerfehn alone, seven people drowned and the livestock suffered heavy losses. In 1911 the places were connected to the road network, which meant the decline of the previously predominant river navigation .

Today the place is characterized by agriculture.
