In the north, Kayhausen borders on Aschhausen and in the southwest on Ekern and Specken . There is no border to the neighboring communities of Bad Zwischenahn.

history

Kayhausen belonged to the Zwischenahn farmers until 1860 . The Knights of Kayhausen initially supported the Stedinger farmers, but later fought on the side of Archbishop Gerhard II of Bremen and the Count of Oldenburg in the Stedinger War . After its end they were rewarded for their support with fiefs in the subject areas. From the proceeds they built a Gräftenburg right on the Zwischenahner Sea near the modern Hostel , which fell probably after 1385 and can be seen from only a few remnants of the fortifications. The Meierhof belonging to the castle remained and now houses a restaurant.

In the following centuries, Kayhausen, like almost all of the Ammerland, remained dominated by agriculture and consisted mainly of farms. Only in 1891 was a school built in the village due to the increased population, which was closed in 1970. Today, students from Kayhausen attend schools in Elmendorf or Aschhausen.

Over the years, the growing population of Zwischenahn expanded to the east, so that the building boundary between Kayhausen and Bad Zwischenahn has now almost disappeared and parts of Kayhausen are now part of the closed local area of ​​Bad Zwischenahn. In the east on the border to Kayhauserfeld, several new building areas have been developed by the Bad Zwischenahn community in recent years, which has resulted in a further increase in population.

traffic

Kayhausen is connected to public transport by line 350 of the VBN and several school bus routes. There is no direct connection to the trunk road network.
