Junkersrott is part of the Hagermarsch community , which has merged with the communities of Hage , Berumbur , Halbemond and Lütetsburg to form the Hage community. Junkersrott was an independent municipality until the Lower Saxony municipal reform in 1972.
Surname
The name Junkersrott refers indirectly to the nearby aristocratic seat of Schloss Lütetsburg , which owned extensive estates in the Junkersrotter municipality. The meaning of the place name, which is mentioned for the first time in 1787, is: "The Rott (residential district) belonging to a Junker ".
history
Geologically, Junkersrott is a limestone marshland . It is around 1.5 meters above sea level and covers an area of around 6.9 km². This area was diked between 1300 and 1600.
During the Napoleonic period Junkersrott belonged administratively to the Mairie Hage in the canton of Berum until 1812 . Under the rule of the Hanoverians, Junkersrott was administered from the Bailiwick of Nesse and was thus part of the so-called Amt Berum. Under the subsequent Prussian rule, the current district of Hagermarsch formed from 1859 a district of the municipality of Ostermarsch , which belonged to the North Office (East Friesland) . From 1885 Junkersrott was an independent municipality belonging to the north district.
During the time of National Socialism, there was a prisoner of war camp with prisoners from France and Belgium in the municipality . The location of the prison camp was the Sophienhof inn .
In 1821 there were 319 inhabitants in Junkersrott. This number decreased to 123 inhabitants in 1939. After the Second World War , the population rose to 190 due to the influx of refugees and then fell continuously to 119 in 1972. Current figures are not known. Junkersrott today forms the municipality of Hagermarsch with the districts Hagermarsch , Hilgenriedersiel and Theener .
coat of arms
The coat of arms of the formerly independent municipality shows a shield divided half in gold and half in black. In the upper half you can see a black, red armored and growing lion. The lower half shows a golden sheaf.
The lion in gold is Knyphausen's heraldic animal and refers to the historical relationship between Junkersrott and Lütetsburg Castle. The sheaf symbolizes the fertility of the black Junkersrotter marshland.
