Lamstedt ( Low German Loomst ) is a municipality in the district of Cuxhaven ( Lower Saxony ). It belongs to the joint municipality of Börde Lamstedt .

Geographical location

The community is located in the middle of some terminal moraines from the last Ice Age , such as the Westerberg . To the east, Lamstedt borders the Ostetal , where there are some small moor areas. To the north is the Westerberg , a mixed forest with predominantly coniferous trees.

history

Lamstedt was first mentioned in 1115 as parochia lamstede in church documents. Archaeological finds show, however, that the Börde must have been settled much earlier. It is recorded in the Vörder Register around 1500 and is therefore mentioned by name for the first time. However, this was not yet a matter of communal unity, but of the ecclesiastical district. In the past, many fires raged over Lamstedt.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1972, the communities Hackemühlen , Ihlbeck, Nindorf and Wohlenbeck were incorporated.

Buildings

• St. Bartholomew's Church in Lamstedt

The St. Bartholomew Church, today the evangelical parish church of the village, is mentioned for the first time in a letter of indulgence from the time of Pope Boniface VIII from the year 1300. The nave of the stone masonry with its polygonal east end also comes from this period .

The west gallery was built in around 1700, the north gallery as well as the vaulted ceiling with wooden segment arched barrels were added during a renovation in 1768.

In this year, the idiosyncratic west tower was also built in brick masonry according to plans by master builder Christian Wundram , after the old wooden church tower had to be demolished many years earlier. This new tower burned down in a great fire in 1812; it was restored in 1820 and received the current domed helmet .

The altarpiece with a large column frame and a crucifixion painting was created around 1730, the pulpit as early as the end of the 17th century. The chalice and the wooden crucifix in the nave date from the second half of the 15th century .
