history

Early history and the Middle Ages

The first settlement in coasts is recorded for the first century before or after Christ. It was south of the coast on the road to Naulitz. During an excavation, a grain silo, a hut floor plan, garbage pits and remains of residential pits were discovered. Remains and foundation walls of several melting furnaces from the early Iron Age as well as slag and lawn iron ore that were found east of the village on the Prellerberg come from a similar period . A body grave in the district has been dated to the 3rd to 4th century. The buried person seems to have been a Longobard suitor because of the grave goods. A total of twelve prehistoric sites have so far been discovered in and around the coast.

Coasts was already a church in the Middle Ages. The first rector of the church is recorded for 1377. The church in Meuchefitz already belonged to the parish in Coasts.

Modern times

Village square by the coast with remaining round buildings on the southern edge and a striking old oak

The oldest list of names of coasts can be found in the Winsener treasure register from 1450. There were ten hook hooves at that time and one kossater , who is referred to as poor in the census. The Kossater lived outside the Rundling and the pastor's office was in the Rundling. In 1548 a new rectory was built on the spot where the Kossater had his court until then. The parish hall is still there today. 17 farms are listed in the farm register from 1564.

During the Thirty Years War, the village, like the whole region, suffered from both Swedish and Imperial troops . In 1639, 7 Vollhufner , 6 Halbhufner and one Kossater were counted in the subject and farm register of the Lüchow and Warpke offices . At that time there were families on only six farms, the other farms were desolate and burned down. The pastor's office had burned down and was not occupied. No horses or cows have been given for the entire village. The parish chronicle of coastal reports that in 1643 200 farmers from the area who opposed them were killed on the Plater Damm by a Swedish cavalry regiment under Colonel Behr.

According to the Dannenberg school regulations of General Superintendent Joachim Hildebrand from 1687, the coastal school district consisted of the villages coastal, Süthen, Naulitz and Göttien. It is necessary to prove that the school had its own teacher from 1750, until then the lessons were carried out by the parish sexton . The schoolhouse was dismantled in 1875 and a new building was erected. For a long time Meuchefitz had its own school in Seerau for the villages of his parish. After the war there are again ten farms and a kossater in the village in 1684. Until the beginning of the 19th century, the village was limited to the Rundling south of the road. At that time there were 13 farms, the rectory and a school in the village. The pastor's office is equipped with a full hoof to take care of the pastor. During the French era , the formerly electoral Hanoverian villages from 1810 to 1813 in the Kingdom of Westphalia partially belonged to the department of the Elbe and the department of the Aller . During this time, coasters in the King's German Legion continued to fight against Napoleon's occupation until the Battle of Waterloo .

Until the 19th century the farmers in the village worked on common land. In 1834 the coupling was carried out in the coasts and all areas were allocated to the farmers. When the road from Lüchow to Uelzen was expanded in 1878, the coasters tried to get the road through the coast or very close to the Rundling (today's B 493). Until then, the country road led from Lüchow to Granstedt. The road to Uelzen led past the village further north. The village developed from now on along the highway and beyond. To the north of the “Alte Heerstraße” route, the former route to Uelzen, a forge was founded at the end of the century, which existed until after the Second World War. The forge is the origin of the district Grünewald, which was originally in the district of Göttien and is now part of the coast. In 1929, a family of forges took over the forge in Schwiepke, which has existed since 1815. In 1885, coasters founded a warrior club that existed until the 1930s.

20th century

In 1902 a volunteer fire brigade was founded in coastal . In 1900 a manual pressure syringe had already been purchased. On September 19, 1904, a fire broke out in the evening that destroyed 19 buildings, half of which was round. 27 syringes were used against the fire. The village was not completely rebuilt afterwards or in the traditional construction with four-column houses . Since then, a rebuilt courtyard is no longer oriented towards the Rundling, but towards the Chaussee and is built in a splendid brick construction from the Wilhelminian era . In the same year, a dairy was founded on the road to Göttien on the road to Göttien, which existed until the 1960s. The decades before the First World War were in the surrounding villages, particularly in the coastal village of a general prosperity marked.

The German-Hannoversche Party was traditionally strong in the coasts and the surrounding villages . The NSDAP was elected by a majority early on in free elections at the end of the Weimar Republic . In the early 1930s, coastal, like almost the entire district, was a stronghold of the NSDAP.

In the village were during the Second World War is not damaged by air raids nor hostilities houses. Soldiers of the Wehrmacht did before the advance of the Allied soldiers still a roadblock at the exit of the village build towards Uelzen, then moved away again before American soldiers reached the village. On April 23, 1945 soldiers of the 116th Infantry Regiment of the 29th US Infantry Division , coming from the south, moved through the community to the Elbe and occupied the villages. For a few weeks after the war, Polish and Ukrainian former forced laborers were housed in the village as Displaced Persons . In mid-June 1945 British soldiers took over the occupation. Among the refugees who lived in the village was the family of the artist Jürgen Goertz .

From 1920 there was a riding club in coastal. After the Second World War, the coastal sports club was founded in 1946 with departments for handball, football, athletics, horse riding and table tennis. Today (2014) the sports club offers soccer, gymnastics and children's gymnastics as well as ju-jutsu . It was not until 1964 that the coastal fire brigade received a used fire engine. The coastal volunteer fire brigade is now a base fire brigade . The largest operations of the fire brigade were in 1975 the forest fire in Gartower Forest during the fire in the Lüneburg Heath and the flood operations in 2002 , 2006 and 2013 .

On July 1, 1972, the communities of Belitz, Göttien, Gühlitz, Karmitz, Krummasel, coasts, Lübeln, Meuchefitz, Naulitz, Reitze, Sallahn, Schwiepke, Tolstefanz and Tüschau were combined to form the coastal community.
