history

First documentary mention

In 1395 , the family name Yseler is mentioned in a documented entry in the "Ordelbok", the old soft image law (city law) of the Vörde ( Bremervörde ) area. It is very possible that this name goes back to a medieval settlement on the Iseler. However, no news about it is known. An Iseler settlement is not mentioned among the places mentioned in the Vörder Register and in tax registers since around 1500. Such a settlement can, however, like those that became "desolate" in the Middle Ages, i.e. H. abandoned villages Horecthorp and Höhne long before 1500. The name "Iseler" goes back to Roman forms (Italian "isola", French "île") of the Latin word "insula" = "island". It is found in Old High German as isila, in Early Middle High German as isele. The island-like location of the Iseler in the wide bog area probably prompted the residents of the surrounding Geest to give it this name.

Iselersheim and Neuendamm in the 18th and 19th centuries

Preliminary remark In the following historical overview, “Iselersheim” always means the village established in 1779/1780 and not the administrative unit “Iselersheim” created by the amalgamation of Neuendamm with Iselersheim.

Cultivation plans

The Oste-Mehe-Moor lay untouched for a long time, "in sound skin". Around 1690, the Swedish government of the duchies of Bremen and Verden thought about cultivating this moor. But only after the area between the Elbe and Weser estuaries came into the possession of Kurhannover in 1715/1719 and when a quieter time had begun for the country that was tormented by wars in the 17th century and into the 18th century the reclamation and settlement of the moors in the duchies of Bremen and Verden tackled and carried out with the most careful planning.

Beginning of the peatland colonization

In 1742 the government considered the measurement of the Oste-Mehe-Moor or “Ostenmoor”. As with all such wastelands, the state saw itself as the owner of the abandoned area. A survey was not carried out until 1753; it had to be carried out in favorable weather conditions, especially in frosty weather, in the not yet drained and therefore hardly accessible bog. The right-wing candidate Rudorff, who was commissioned with the survey, made a map and thus created the basis for the border negotiations with the Geestorten around the moor. In 1755 a state commission found the "Ostenmoor" to be ideally suited for settlement.

Iselersheim and Neuendamm

In the summer of 1778, the "device" for the future villages of Iselersheim, Neuendamm and Hönau began. The names for the latter two settlements were proposed at the Moorkonferenz of 1779 and approved by the Privy Councilor v. Bremer approved.

Iselersheim was then built in 1780. In 1789, it is stated that the place had 14 houses in which 70 residents, including 43 children, lived.

Hönau was named after the nearby forest Höhne, Neuendamm after the "new dam", which - starting at the Höhne - crossed the Ostemoor in a northerly direction to Iseler Berg and the "Hauptkommunikationsdamm" became the main connection route across the Bremervörde through the moor Abbenseth connected with Lamstedt . The embankment, which was unpaved - like all highways back then - was repeatedly sanded over at the expense of the state in order to keep it reasonably passable. The name "Sanddamm" used for the dam was used in 1929 as the name for the villages of Iselersheim, Neuendamm, Hönau and Lindorf, which were merged into one community from 1929 to 1949.
