geography
Physical geography
The Wesermarsch lies in the north German lowlands . The area of the Wesermarsch landscape largely coincides with that of the district of the same name . However, the landscape is larger than the district. The Geestrand is the border to the Wesermarsch in the west and in the south in the Ammerland and Oldenburg districts , and the Wesermarsch landscape also includes areas to the right of the Weser, v. a. the historical landscape of Osterstade . The Wesermarsch also protrudes a good bit into the city of Bremen in the southeast .
The predominant landscape type is the marsh , two thirds of which is below the mean flood water level and is protected from flooding by dykes that separate the entire district from the water of the Weser, the North Sea and the Jadebusen. In the west the march connects to the Geest . The "Geest-Abbruch" is located on the B 211 in Loyermoor, bridging a height difference of a good 30 meters.
There are also various moors distributed over the district . B. the so-called floating moor on the Jadebusen in the district Sehestedt of the municipality Jade , as an outstanding natural monument of the unique kind. In the southwest are the Rockenmoor and the Grasmoor , in the middle of the district the Frieschenmoor and in the west at Jade the Kreuzmoor . The whole district is criss-crossed by extensive drainage channels and ditches.
The Hunte flows from Oldenburg coming to the district and flows Elsfleth into the Weser . At the mouth there is the Huntes barrier , which was built to protect against flooding .
Cultural geography
The Oldenburg Wesermarsch consists of the Frisian populated areas of the Stadland and Butjadingens in the north and the Oldenburg Stedingen in the south. With its marshland, the Wesermarsch was and is particularly well suited for cattle and horse breeding. In the past, this made the Wesermarsch one of the wealthiest areas in the whole of the Oldenburger Land. Accordingly, the rich march farmers have provided their houses of worship with altarpieces, pulpits, baptismal fonts and organs in keeping with their rank.
Neighboring areas
The county borders in the clockwise direction in the northwest starting at the Jade Bay and the Inner Jade , to the Wadden Sea between Innenjade and Außenweser beyond the Weser to the independent city Bremerhaven and the districts Cuxhaven and Osterholz and to the city of Bremen (such as Bremerhaven to the country Bremen belonging ), to the independent city of Delmenhorst , to the district of Oldenburg , to the independent city of Oldenburg (Oldb) and to the districts of Ammerland and Friesland .
history
Landscape history
Since around 6000 BC The course of the North Sea coastline is determined by the alternation of phases of flooding ( transgression ) and phases of subsidence ( regression ) of the sea level. While the marshland was hardly habitable during the flood phases, it could be settled and cultivated in the rest phases. In such a lowering phase z. B. the settlement at the Hahnenknooper mill around 900 BC. Created. The water of the Weser and its left tributaries was able to spread widely in the not yet diked marsh. Only in a slow transgression phase that started again in the following centuries was the river marsh more frequently flooded by salt water, which deteriorated the soil and drinking water quality, so that the settlements north of the Hunte had to be abandoned.
Since the 2nd century the inhabitants of the Wesermarsch started to protect themselves against the floods of the sea and the Weser by means of Wurten , later also by dikes . The shape of the Wesermarsch landscape was radically changed by the inrushes of the sea in the high and late Middle Ages: Butjadingen temporarily became an island, in the south of which the Heete connected the Jade Bay that was forming with the Weser. A second connection also made the Stadland an island; it ran from the east of the Jadebusen over the Ahne and the Lockfleth to the Weser south of Brake. A third island in the Weser Delta was west of Ahne or Lockfleth; in the west it was bounded by the Frisian Balge, an arm of the sea that occupied today's bed of the jade , in the south by the Liene, a river that connected the jade with the Weser and flowed north of Elsfleth into the Weser (at high tide) or emanated from her at low tide.
From the 16th century, a continuous band of dikes was built along the Weser, the Inner Jade and the Jade Bay. The last gap was closed in 1725 at the floating moor on the Jade Bay. The inlets between Jade and Weser were cut off from the influx of water from the North Sea and the Weser. Some of the waters silted up by themselves, some were dismantled into small drainage canals, and some were filled in. In this way, north of the Hunte and south of Langwarden, a contiguous area of land between Jade or Jadebusen and Weser was created.
Political history
Roman sources already speak of Chauken , who populated the coastal area between the Weser and Ems. Tecelia is known as the Chauken trading center in the Wesermarsch near the mouth of the Huntes. From 250 AD many Chauken left their Wurten in the Wesermarsch as a reaction to a rise in sea level. The areas that became free were settled by Frisians from 400 onwards.
To the west of the mouth of the Weser, the Gau Rüstringen emerged , the eastern part of which today forms the north of the Wesermarsch. Since the 10th century, the residents of Rüstringen have secured the fertile marshland with earth walls in front of the sea. The churches in Rüstringen, built in the 11th century, testify to the considerable prosperity and the preserved freedom of the Frisians. In the Middle Ages, huge storm surges caused profound changes in the course of the coast. The attempt of the Counts of Oldenburg to get the northern Wesermarsch under their control initially failed. Only an allied Braunschweig-Oldenburg army succeeded in defeating the Wesermarsch-Frisians in 1514 in the battle of the Hartwarder Landwehr near Rodenkirchen .
Little is known about the history of Stedingen in the early Middle Ages. In 783, Bishop Willehad was given the task of Christianizing the coastal areas west of the Weser. In 1062 the Archbishop of Bremen, Adalbert, had the "uninhabited area" between "Aldenabrock" (Oldenburg) and Bremen transferred as possession. After 1062 Stedingen was gradually (re) populated. Initially, the Saxons founded settlements from neighboring Geest areas along the Weser above the Hune estuary and the Ollen . From 1106 Dutch were brought to Stedingen. The colonizers received privileges that were comparable to those in the northern settlement areas of the Frisians. At the beginning of the 13th century, there were conflicts with the Archbishop of Bremen, which led to the Stinging War. In the battle of Altenesch in 1234 the Stedinger lost their freedom.
Together with the Oldenburg family, the entire Wesermarsch belonged to Denmark from 1667 to 1773 . From 1774 the Wesermarsch was under the rule of the Duchy of Oldenburg . The administrative reform of 1814 eliminated the counts' bailiwicks as well as the cantons from the French occupation (1811/1813).
Administrative history
Since 1879, the area of today's district was divided into the three Oldenburg offices of Brake , Butjadingen and Elsfleth . In 1933 these three offices, the Altenesch municipality from the Delmenhorst office and the Jade and Schweiburg municipalities from the Varel office were merged to form the new Wesermarsch office . At the same time, many of the old communities were merged into new large communities, including Altenesch and Berne to form the community of Stedingen .
In 1937, the city of Wilhelmshaven ceded the Eckwarderhörn settlement to the Butjadingen municipality of the Wesermarsch office. On January 1, 1939, the Wesermarsch district became the Wesermarsch district , which in 1946, together with the state of Oldenburg, became part of the newly established state of Lower Saxony. Most of the large communities formed in 1933 were split up again in 1948 into smaller communities.
The regional reform in Lower Saxony created the current layout of the Wesermarsch district on March 1, 1974:
- The municipality of Landwürden , located on the east bank of the Weser , left the district and was incorporated into the municipality of Loxstedt in the Wesermünde district.
- The district border between the districts of Wesermarsch and Wesermünde was moved continuously to the middle of the river Weser. As a result, among other things, the river island Harriersand came completely to the Wesermünde district.
- Through various mergers, the number of communities in the Wesermarsch district has been reduced to nine. The changes to the structure of the municipalities during the regional reforms of 1948 and 1972 are shown in the following overview:

rail
Although the district used to belong to the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, it was the Prussian State Railroad that brought the first railway into the district in 1867 near Jaderberg with its Oldenburg – Wilhelmshaven line.
The Oldenburg State Railway followed in 1873 with the main line Hude – Brake, which was extended to Nordenham in 1875 and as a branch line to Blexen in 1905.
The cross connections to the main line Oldenburg – Wilhelmshaven, which were opened between Brake and Oldenburg ( rubber railway) in 1896 and between Rodenkirchen and Varel in 1913 , branched off from here.
The Butjadingen peninsula was opened up in 1908/09 by a Nordenham – Eckwarderhörne small railway, which the Butjadingen District Association had built and operated as the Butjadinger Railway .
Finally , in 1922, the Deutsche Reichsbahn added the Delmenhorst – Lemwerder branch line to the network, which served freight traffic until 1998.
From 1956, 80 km of the total 126 km of passenger traffic were closed:
- 1956: Nordenham – Burhave – Eckwarderhörne, 30 km
- 1958: Varel – Diekmannshausen – Rodenkirchen, 17 km
- 1961: Oldenburg Hbf – Großenmeer – Brake, 19 km
- 1962: Delmenhorst - Altenesch - Lemwerder, 7 km
- 1980: Nordenham – Nordenham-Blexen, 7 km
Until mid-December 2010, Deutsche Bahn AG only regularly operated the 46 km long Hude – Berne – Elsfleth – Brake – Nordenham line with six stations. The line has been integrated into the network of the regional S-Bahn Bremen / Lower Saxony operated by Nordwestbahn since mid-December 2010 . Museum trains operated by Delmenhorst-Harpstedter Eisenbahn GmbH (DHE) operated at irregular intervals on the route between Lemwerder and Delmenhorst until the end of 2009 .
water
The district is located on the waterways of the Weser that are deep to sea. There are port facilities in Nordenham-Blexen, Nordenham, Brake, Elsfleth and Lemwerder. The port facilities are connected to the rail network.
With the Weser tunnel near Stadland- Kleinensiel there is a permanent connection to the right bank of the Weser and the A 27 .
In the area of the district there are the following ferry connections over the Weser:
- Nordenham-Blexen - Bremerhaven
- Golzwarden - Sandstedt
- Brake - Harriersand (only pedestrians and cyclists)
- Berne - Bremen-Farge
- Motzen - Bremen-Blumenthal
- Lemwerder - Bremen-Vegesack
The former ferry connection Kleinensiel –Dedesdorf was abandoned in the course of the construction of the Weser tunnel in 2004. From Eckwarderhörne there is temporarily a passenger ferry connection to Wilhelmshaven .
In the Wesermarsch district, the Hunte can only be crossed by motor vehicle at Huntebrück. There is a lift bridge there .
