geography

location

Stotel is located a few kilometers south of the Bremerhaven city ​​limits . The village on the Lune is located on a ridge . While the northern and western surroundings are mainly marshland , the Stoteler Moor nature reserve joins in the south . In Stotel there is also the 12.7  hectare Fredeholz forest and the Stoteler See, which is used for swimming, fishing and windsurfing . This is an estimated 30 hectares. The excess water of the Stoteler See, which is created by precipitation, is channeled through the Hahnenknoop-Hetthorn Moorkanal into an oxbow lake of the Lune. The Weser also flows about five kilometers to the west on its way to the mouth of the Weser near Bremerhaven.

history

Local history

Traces of settlement can be traced back to the Roman Empire around the birth of Christ. The village was originally created as a cluster village. The first mention takes place in a document of the Archbishop of Bremen Friedrich under the name Statle . The date is assumed to be 1105, but it is also discussed whether the document should not be added a few years later. Later documents know the name forms Stotlo , Stotle and Stotele . Around 1500 there was finally the name Stotell . The place name can be interpreted in different ways. It can refer to the location on the banks of the Lune or the location on the desert and solid land.

There was probably a castle in Stotel since the 12th century, as well as several noblemen and later also Counts of Stotel . After the sex with the death of Count Rudolf III. (also Roland) died out in 1350, the Stotel County was sold by his widow to the Bremen Cathedral Chapter . Another castle ruin was discovered in 2006 near the “Grafenburg” .

St. Margarethen Church

In the parish Stotel were Hetthorn , Holte , Fleeste and Lanhausen and later Speckje the parish. In 1752 the parish belonged to the Stotel office, which also included the village of Nesse . From the offices of Stotel and Vieland, the Stotel-Vieland office was formed in 1779, from which Geestendorf was spun off in 1827 . From 1810 to 1813 Stotel was a commune under French law, which also included Hetthorn, Lanhausen, Nesse and Welle. Like the municipalities of Bexhövede , Bremerlehe , Dedesdorf and Wulsdorf, Stotel belonged to the canton of Bremerlehe ( Arrondissement Bremerlehe) in the Département des Bouches du Weser (Département of the mouths of the Weser). The previous administrative system with the Hanoverian offices was restored after the victory over Napoléon Bonaparte . With the exception of Holte, the Stotel-Vieland Office was finally incorporated into the Lehe Office in 1831. From 1840 on, Stotel was called a rural community and has also been a district under Prussian law since 1876 . The village had belonged to the Geestemünde district since 1885 and was part of the Wesermünde district after its dissolution in 1932 . In 1968 , as part of the preparation of the Lower Saxony municipal reform, Hahnenknoop , Hetthorn, Langendammsmoor, Schwegen and the areas of Neuenlandermoor ( Neuenlande municipality ) and Bramstedterweiden were incorporated into Stotel. With the law on the reorganization of the communities in the Osterholz / Wesermünde area , the locality was incorporated into the enlarged unitary community of Loxstedt with effect from March 1, 1974 and is the second largest town in terms of population. The Speckje district, which is partly part of the Stotel district, is now part of the Holte district, while Neuenlandermoor belongs to Schwegen.

After the incorporation, which was carried out despite strong protests from Stotel due to the lack of historical relationship with Loxstedt, the village still had a local council headed by the mayor . Since 1981 a mayor has represented the interests of the citizens and also carries out services for the municipal administration.

The frescoes by Hugo Ungewitter from 1897, painted on the initiative of the march poet Hermann Allmers in the Grafenhof, are of cultural interest . These have been exhibited elsewhere since the former restaurant was demolished. On the 100th birthday of Allmers on February 11, 1921, the community board and the savings and loan fund also issued their own emergency money of 25, 50 and 75 pfennigs. These were printed with poems by the local poet.

In the last few years the old village with its many thatched houses including the streets has been renovated. The St. Margaret's Church , which was probably founded by Count Rudolph I, is also located there .

The local home attendant is Karl-Heinz Bellmer.

Ruins of the Stotel

High-rise ruin (until 2001)

At the beginning of the 1970s, a satellite town with shops, restaurants and apartments was planned in the district of Hohes Feld . In particular, prosperity and municipal independence were expected from this in the context of the upcoming municipal reform. After the original plan with 23 three-story residential buildings and three eight-story high-rise buildings was rejected, 16 four-story and three high-rise buildings with up to 15 floors were to be built. Since the financing was not secured, the building contractor went bankrupt. As a result, no apartment was completed and the Hohe Feld could be compared to a ghost settlement. While 15 four-story residential buildings were expanded in the 1970s, the 15-story, 45-meter-high X-tower remained in the shell and was the subject of changes of ownership and legal disputes. This high-rise ruin , which was also used as a filming location in some television films and was a widely visible landmark of the place, had to be demolished after the change in the development plan. Since the owner did not comply with the demolition order, the district had the building demolished after a tender at the end of 2001. The other two planned high-rise buildings were planned to the south and north of Lerchenstrasse, but only one basement was completed. After the demolition, there will be single-family houses or a football and basketball playground.

There are also various clubs, doctors and businesses in the village. Company settlements are made possible in particular by the new “Loxpark” industrial park.

traffic

The A 27 motorway, completed in 1977, has an exit in Stotel. From there the federal highway 437 leads over the Weser tunnel into the Wesermarsch and to Friedeburg in the district of Wittmund . In the future, the planned coastal motorway A 22 will run near Stotel, and there are plans to expand the B 437 into a motorway. While the main variant does not leave the A 27 until Loxstedt, two of the secondary variants presented in the regional planning procedure run directly north and south of Stotel.

The village also had a stop on the Niederweserbahn, which opened in 1911 and closed on September 26, 1964 . Before that, it was also planned to relocate the route of the Geestebahn operated by the Royal Hanover State Railways on the shortest route between Bremen and Geestemünde . This would have led directly past the (former) Bundesstrasse 6 and Stotel. However, due to the political commitment in the Osterholz-Scharmbeck area and the then Loxstedter pastor , the railway was built near Loxstedt at the request of the state of Hanover . Local public transport is now operated exclusively with buses and call collective taxis within the Bremen-Lower Saxony transport association.
