Klausheide (until 1931 Clausheide ) is a former municipality in the Grafschaft Bentheim district in Lower Saxony . The Klausheide estate, which gives it its name , was founded in 1914 by the German industrialists Bertha and Gustav Krupp . Klausheide became the legal successor to the municipality of Bakelde in 1931 and lost its political independence in 1974 when it was incorporated into the city of Nordhorn . Since 2014, the Nordhorn air / ground shooting range , the area of which originally belonged to Gut Klausheide, has been the only remaining exercise area for air-to-ground combat and at the same time the largest exercise area used by the Air Force in Germany.
geography
location
Klausheide is located in southwest Lower Saxony, about twelve kilometers from the Dutch and 25 km from the North Rhine-Westphalian border, in the middle of the Grafschaft Bentheim district. The district borders in the south on the Ems-Vechte Canal , north of the B 213 on the Lee and in the extreme northwestern tip on the South-North Canal .
The closest village is Lohne , a basic center and the administrative seat of the municipality of Wietmarschen (5 km northeast, around 7,300 inhabitants). The nearest towns are Nordhorn, 6 km southwest, and Lingen (Ems) , 13 km northeast; Both cities have around 54,000 inhabitants and are medium-sized regional planning centers with central sub-functions .
landscape
At the beginning of the 20th century, large parts of the area were covered by heather and moorland . Through cultivation measures in the 1910s originated mainly agricultural land and a large, continuous coniferous forest and the village, the Good and the airfield Klausheide .
Extension of the district
The area of the district is 20.14 km², the largest north-south extension is about 8 km, the largest east-west extension is about 5 km.
Neighboring places
Klausheide borders in the north on Wietmarschen , in the east on Lohne, in the south on Hesepe , in the west on Nordhorn's farmers ' fields Feldflur and Bakelde and in the extreme northwestern tip on the farmers' Hohenkörben .
history
1910 to 1925
Towards the end of the 19th century there was a change in agriculture and housekeeping in the bog areas. The residents of Nordhorn and the surrounding villages and farmers increasingly used coal instead of peat for heating, and the invention of artificial fertilizers increased agricultural yields significantly and fertilization was abandoned. The owners and trademark lawyers of the wasteland were therefore no longer dependent on the moors and heathland. Many owners were interested in selling their space, especially since these spaces were up to ten kilometers away from their apartments. As a result, Bertha Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach was able to acquire contiguous, previously uninhabited moor and heather areas from 1910. These areas were in the districts of Grafschaft Bentheim and Lingen in the province of Hanover . The aim was to cultivate the land for agricultural and forestry purposes and to establish a model estate.
During a visit to the area on April 27, 1914, Bertha and Gustav Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach announced that they would name the estate after Claus von Bohlen and Halbach , the couple's third son, Clausheide . On June 9, 1915, the groundbreaking ceremony took place for the estate north of Chaussee Nordhorn - Lingen, today's B 213 . Prisoners of war were also used in the construction work. The First World War hindered the rapid progress of the cultivation measures, but the first harvest could be brought in as early as 1916. In 1917 the manor was completed to the point that the estate manager could move in. In 1919 the construction work on the manor was finished and the construction of the workers' colony on both sides of the Chaussee began. Ten semi-detached houses were built on the south side and eight on the north side. In 1920 the first families moved to the colony.
1925 to 1945
Due to a number of bad harvests, the estate continuously required grants from the Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach family in the 1920s, so that a sale was considered. Due to the poor economic situation in Germany, however, this was not possible and so the estate was leased to Egbert Hayessen from Hammer (now in Liebenwalde ) from 1925 to 1945 . Instead of having to pay rent, the tenant was required to clear another 900 acres of land in the first ten years .
To the south-east of the estate, the Krupp family had an area prepared as a landing pad for aircraft. In 1927 Lufthansa added this field airfield to its route network as an emergency landing site. The first school was also founded in Klausheide in 1927. Until then, the school children were driven to Altendorf, Bakelde and Nordhorn in a horse-drawn “school car” belonging to the estate. In 1926, however, the estate management wanted to stop this service - a school strike broke out. When the axle of the school car broke in 1927 and the children were unable to attend school for two weeks, the parents wrote a letter of protest and the decision was made to found a school in Klausheide. This went into operation in the same year: All 32 students were taught in a room in the apartment of teacher Fritz Strotmann.
The Clausheide manor district extended to several districts in the counties of Grafschaft Bentheim and Lingen: Bakelde, Lohne, Herzford, Elbergen , Engden and Hesepe. The settlement and manor were located in the Bakelde district. Areas of the municipalities of Altendorf and Nordhorn have also been located in this district since the mark division in 1864. On July 1, 1929, the municipal areas in the Nordhorn area were reorganized: Large parts of Altendorf, Bakelde and Bookholt as well as smaller parcels of the municipalities of Brandlecht and Hesepe were incorporated into Nordhorn. Before that, the manor district of Frenswegen and in 1921 the municipality of Frensdorf had already been incorporated into Nordhorn. The so-called remaining communities of Bookholt and Bakelde remained. The remaining municipality of Bakelde was formed from the parcels belonging to the Clausheide estate and uninhabited parts of Bakelde, located east of the Lee and north of the Nordhorn – Lingen road. In December 1930, the council of this municipality applied for the name to be changed to Clausheide. With the decree of the Prussian State Ministry of April 18, 1931, the municipality of Bakelde was renamed Klausheide. The municipal council requested that the spelling be changed to "Clausheide", since the name was named after Claus von Bohlen and Halbach; the minister of the interior refused this request on the grounds: "... community and place names of Slavic and German origin are to be written initially with a K". Nonetheless, the new spelling took off slowly.
In 1933 the Krupp family provided the Reichswehr with an area south of the Ems-Vechte Canal in the Hesepe and Elbergen districts as an artillery firing range. During the Second World War , the area was also used as a firing range for the Luftwaffe. After the Second World War, the British Royal Air Force took over the site and set up an air / ground firing range there under the name Nordhorn Range .
From October 1944 to March 1945 the airfield was used for military purposes (Klausheide port of operations, E21). On November 22, 1944, the second group of Jagdgeschwader 26 (II./JG26) was stationed at the airfield. During their time in Klausheide, the second group of Jagdgeschwader 26 lost around 80 aircraft, 30 pilots were killed and another five are missing. On March 24, 1945, the airfield was destroyed by 58 American long-range bombers of the " Liberator " type . They dropped 122 tons of bombs in several waves. The planes stationed at the site remained undamaged because they were well camouflaged in the adjacent forest. The following night, an emergency runway was leveled on the southern edge of the square and the next morning the machines began to be relocated to Celle. Two machines collided and the pilots were killed.
1945 to 1974
From 1945 to 1947 a supply unit for Polish soldiers was on the estate. In 1948 the mansion was renovated and used as a branch of the Nordhorn district hospital for tuberculosis patients.
In 1951 Bertha Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach sold the estate and 1,100 hectares of cultivated land for 900,000 DM to Ferdinand von Lochow-Petkus GmbH from Bergen (originally from Petkus in Brandenburg). The then largest German grain breeding company operated plant breeding and seed production in Klausheide until 1990.
On November 23, 1951, a contract was signed between the municipality of Klausheide and Bertha Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach for the acquisition of 19.55 hectares of land. This marked the beginning of the systematic development of the Klausheide settlement. The background to this was that 35 former farm workers who had reached the age limit and therefore had to vacate the company's own apartments, asked for land to build their own home. The first new development area had over 100 building sites with an average size of 2500 m 2 . By designating further building areas, Klausheide became the fastest growing municipality in the district between 1939 and 1974 (435.5% increase).
After the war, the airfield was supposed to be reforested, but the region's air sports enthusiasts stubbornly tried to resume flight operations. In 1952, the first glider took off from the restored airfield, which has been operated by a company consisting of municipalities and associations since 1957.
When it was introduced on March 23, 1962, the municipality of Klausheide, as well as the neighboring municipality of Schepsdorf-Lohne and other neighboring municipalities of Lingen, were assigned the postal code 4451. Klausheide was thus assigned directly to the central node office 445 Lingen (Ems) ; the official spelling was 4451 Klausheide / over Lingen (Ems) . This was unusual because all of these communities were in what was then the district of Lingen, so Klausheide was the only community in the district of Grafschaft Bentheim with this zip code. The reason for this was that the Nordhorn routing area node office with the former postcode 446 was not assigned a routing area hub office or other municipalities without their own routing number.
1974 to 1989
On March 1, 1974, the municipal area reform in the former administrative district of Osnabrück came into force through the "Osnabrück Law" and Klausheide became part of the district town of Nordhorn together with the municipalities of Bimolten , Bookholt , Brandlecht , Hesepe, Hestrup and Hohenkörben (Ksp. Nordhorn) incorporated.
On November 17, 1978, the “Ordinance on the establishment of the noise protection area for the Nordhorn air / ground firing range” (FluLärmNordhV) came into force. Since the place Klausheide lies within the noise protection area 1, the construction of new apartments is not allowed here. The ban does not apply to the establishment of
- Apartments within the scope of a development plan published before the noise protection area was determined
- Apartments within the built-up districts in accordance with Section 34 of the Building Code
- Apartments within the scope of a development plan published after the noise protection area has been established, if this is used for the maintenance, renewal, adaptation or conversion of existing districts with residential development.
By defining the noise protection areas, the residential area of Klausheide has remained practically unchanged since the late 1970s. Essentially, only existing vacant lots have been and will be filled.
Since 1990
In 1990 the farm was stopped, the manor house and two outbuildings were sold to the Arbeiterwohlfahrt (AWO). The storage building was bought by a real estate company. Asylum seekers lived in the apartments from 1991 to 1994, after which the renovation of the manor house began, and since 1996 the AWO has been operating a dormitory on the estate for people with chronic, multiple disabilities.
Together with Altendorf and Bakelde as well as the edge areas of Stadtflur and Deegfeld, Klausheide was included in the village renewal program of the State of Lower Saxony with effect from June 14, 2012. The first major measure was implemented between October and December 2017: the conversion of the area in front of the village community center into the central village square. The area was re-paved, new beds were laid out and two areas were equipped with a water-bound surface layer, on which z. B. Boule can be played. New seating was created and the parking area was optimized and equipped with a charging station . Furthermore, in cooperation with the Freifunk initiative and the kindergarten, hot spots were installed in the area of the village square for free internet access via W-LAN .

The development of the population can be divided into four phases:
- Between the two world wars, the population increased evenly due to the influx of farm workers.
- In the first post-war years, the settlement of refugees and displaced people led to stronger growth.
- At the end of the 1950s, the systematic construction of the settlement began, so that the number of inhabitants more than doubled between 1957 and 1967.
- Since the incorporation, the number of residents has stagnated - not least because of the building restrictions that noise protection area 1 brings with it.

Religions
The denominational structure in Klausheide has been very heterogeneous since the beginning . With the arrival of farm workers from the county of Bentheim (mostly Reformed) as well as from the Emsland (mostly Catholic) and far beyond, Catholics , Reformed and Lutherans lived in the settlement . After the Second World War there were further influx of refugees of different denominations. Because of this situation, a separate church congregation could never be established: All Christians belonged to congregations in Nordhorn. After the Second World War, however, the population had grown so much that both Catholics and Protestants wanted a local church.
In 1956 Reformed and Lutherans founded the Evangelical Church Building Association. V. with the purpose of building a common church . The club members were able to collect around 17,000 DM in donations, which ultimately financed the bells and the organ . The political municipality provided a piece of land free of charge. The foundation stone for the Michaeliskirche was laid on August 13th, 1960, the inauguration took place on January 25th, 1962. Although the developer was the Lutheran congregation, the Sunday services have been alternating between the Lutheran and Reformed congregations since the beginning.
A branch church of the St. Augustine parish of Nordhorn was built for the Catholics in Klausheide . The foundation stone was laid on August 23, 1964; on November 16, 1965 it was consecrated to Liudger , the missionary of the Münsterland . This church was given up because of cost-cutting measures: On June 14th, 2009 St. Ludgerus was de-dedicated, since then the Catholics have been celebrating their services in the Michaeliskirche alternating with Reformed and Lutherans. Since the building could not be used adequately, the St. Ludgerus Church was demolished in August 2011.

Economy and Infrastructure
Commercial and industrial
Up until the Second World War, Klausheide was mainly characterized by the agricultural sector. The Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach family sold the estate in 1951 to Lochow-Petkus GmbH, Bergen (today KWS Lochow GmbH).
After the Second World War, a small industrial area was built on the western edge of the settlement , in which a large door and window factory was located. After the bankruptcy of this company, various smaller companies use the site.
Since the 1980s, the "Nordhorn utilities" have been promoting drinking water in the Klausheide forest. The raw water is pumped from five wells from a depth of 60 to 91 meters, transported to Nordhorn via a pressure pipe and processed into drinking water in the local waterworks. There are four other wells in Hesepe; together they cover the drinking water needs of the municipality of Nordhorn.
When Lochow-Petkus GmbH gave up growing grain in Klausheide, most of the land was sold to the district and the city. The city of Nordhorn has now set up an industrial area east of the settlement (Klausheide-Ost, 83.6 hectares net area). In particular, a large company for the manufacture of plastic pipeline components has settled here (Reinert-Ritz GmbH). To the south were the 11.5 hectare solar power plant Klausheide GmbH & Co KG (4147.36 kWp leased) by the end of the 2037th Another industrial area was developed north of the settlement (Klausheide-Nord, 70.26 hectares net area). Among other things, a hatchery for broilers with a capacity of 42 million chicks per year was established here in November 2017 (Optibrut GmbH).
Airfield
About 1.5 km east of the town center is the Klausheide airfield (officially Flugplatz Nordhorn-Lingen GmbH), a commercial airfield that is approved for powered aircraft up to 10 t. There are also two runways for gliders . In its original state, the site was already an airfield, so that the Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach family used it. Today it is home to two flight schools for powered flight, two glider clubs , a parachutist group, three companies, the largest airworthy vintage aircraft group in Europe and other aviation groups.
Air / ground shooting range
The Nordhorn air / ground shooting range originally belonged to the Klausheide estate. It is located two kilometers south of the outskirts of Klausheide, on the south side of the Ems-Vechte Canal, in the districts of Elbergen (municipality of Emsbüren ), Engden, Hesepe (town of Nordhorn) and Lohne (municipality of Wietmarschen). The Krupp von Bohlen and Halbach family was no longer interested in agricultural use after the First World War. It therefore made the site available to the Reichswehr as an artillery firing range in 1933 . During the Second World War it was also used as an air force firing range. After the Second World War, the British Royal Air Force took over the site and set up the Nordhorn Air To Ground Weapon Range , or Nordhorn Range for short . During the target practice, the aircraft circled over the town of Klausheide, so that in 1954 there were first protests among the population because of the noise pollution. In 1971 the citizens' initiative Notgemeinschaft Nordhorn-Range e. V. founded, which fights for the cessation of flight operations to this day. After several crashes of military aircraft (up to then 2 Gloster Meteor , 2 Canadair Saber , 1 Starfighter ) near the village, the firing range was occupied for the first time on July 8, 1971 by residents of Klausheid; flight operations therefore had to be suspended for 24 hours. Until 1973 there were further squares, school strikes and large-scale rallies. The songwriter and writer Franz Josef Degenhardt used these protests as a template for his novel Brandstellen , which was filmed by DEFA in 1977 . In 2001 the Royal Air Force handed the field over to the German Armed Forces , which now continue to use it as the Nordhorn air / ground firing range . Since the official closure of the Siegenburg air / ground shooting range on December 10, 2014, the Nordhorn air / ground shooting range has been the only remaining practice area for air-to-ground combat in Germany.
Social therapeutic dormitory
The Arbeiterwohlfahrt , Kreisverband Grafschaft Bentheim, has been operating a social-therapeutic dormitory for integration assistance ( SGB XII §§ 53/54 ff. ) On the estate (manor house and two outbuildings) since 1996 with 61 places for people with chronic dependency patients with multiple impairments. The focus of the work is on stabilizing and improving cognitive and communicative skills. Therefore, those affected are involved in work and employment fields that are as realistic as possible. The aim is to offer the residents an environment free of addiction drugs in order to counteract further physical and psychological disabilities.

Public facilities
Library
A branch of the Nordhorn city library is located in the village community center . Here media are available to borrow, especially for children and young people.
youth club
The youth club “Kühlhaus” was set up in the former cold store at the village community center; The Evangelical Reformed parish is responsible for this. The youth club also hosts the Klausheide youth forum, one of five youth forums set up by the city for the political participation of young people.
sport Center
In 1976 the new sports center with a gym and indoor pool was opened right next to the old gym; the gym is used for club and school sports. The old gym was converted into the St. Ludgerus kindergarten. The indoor pool has now been closed and converted into a multi-purpose hall.
fire Department
The Klausheide estate had its own fire brigade until the end of the Second World War. She ensured fire protection for the estate and the community. Then the Nordhorn volunteer fire brigade took over fire protection for Klausheide.
In 2014 the city commissioned a fire protection requirement plan. This uncovered two problem areas: Klausheide and the southwestern urban area of Nordhorn could not be reached quickly enough and there was not enough staff available during the day because many firefighters were too far away from the fire station so that they were not available in the event of an alarm. As a first measure, a branch of the Nordhorn local fire department in Klausheide was decided in 2015 . For this purpose, the Reinert-Ritz company, located in the Klausheide-Ost industrial area, agreed to provide a company garage for a fire engine. Since some of the firefighters have their jobs at the company, operational readiness is now ensured in a very short time, even during the day. On December 7th, 2015, the fire brigade branch officially went into operation with the handover of a tank fire engine ( TLF 16/25 , built in 1989). In addition to the city's cooperation with a commercial enterprise, there is a further specialty in that the fire fighters belong to different local fire brigades (Nordhorn, Brandlecht and Lohne , as of 2015).
Animal Disease Logistics Center
On September 16, 2014, the animal disease logistics center for the Grafschaft Bentheim district and the southern Emsland district went into operation at the airfield . In the event of an epidemic, inventory examinations are organized and carried out from here, the emergency services are supplied, and material and vehicles are decontaminated and cleaned. The results of the investigation serve as a basis for decision-making on how to proceed, such as the establishment of restricted zones around an affected farm and the killing of the livestock. The killing of the animals is the responsibility of the farmers who built the animal disease prevention center in the neighborhood for this purpose. The animal disease logistics center consists of a material warehouse, offices and a sanitary facility. The hangar is primarily used to store aircraft and is cleared if necessary for disease control. The property is owned by the airport operating company, in which both districts are involved.
Animal Disease Prevention Center
In the immediate vicinity of the animal disease logistics center, at Ludwig-Bölkow-Straße 1, Geflügelseuchenvorsorge GmbH opened its animal disease prevention center on August 25, 2017. The animal disease prevention center consists of warehouses for containers and truck trailers, shower units, as well as office and meeting rooms. All equipment and materials are available here to be able to kill and dispose of infected livestock and to disinfect the stables. Use is currently limited to epidemics in pig herds and poultry farms. The Animal Disease Prevention Center is a foundation of the Association of the Emsländischen Landvolks e. V. and responsible for the counties of Grafschaft Bentheim and Emsland.
education
school
A first elementary school was founded in 1927. Classes initially took place in the teacher's home. In 1936 the estate administration made a disused locomotive shed available as a school. On May 3, 1956, a new school building with two classrooms was moved into in the town center, which had to be supplemented by four classrooms as early as 1964 due to the rapidly increasing number of pupils.
In the 1973/74 school year, the elementary school became a primary school . Montessori pedagogy has been used in the school since 2000 . A branch was opened in Nordhorn at the beginning of the 2010/11 school year (former Astrid Lindgren School on Gildkamp). In 2011 the school was renamed the Maria Montessori School. The school is the only one in the Grafschaft Bentheim district with a Montessori profile.
kindergarten
The St. Ludgerus kindergarten was established in 1976 in the former gym in the village community center. The carrier is the Catholic parish of St. Augustine . It offers space for up to 50 children from the age of two, divided into two mixed-age groups. It is an “inclusive” kindergarten that can also be attended by children with severe developmental delays and physical disabilities
