Economy and Infrastructure

First completed apartments in Marissa Park (September 2019)

At the beginning of the 1950s, after the dyke construction work was completed (1952), a tourism boom began. As early as 1948 there was the striking, thatched “turret with the clock” and a large jetty at the Grawied estuary. 1957 followed the construction of the large gabled roof house "Hotel Strandlust" in a regionally based " Heimatschutz Style ", which is still recognizable today despite many renovations. The old boat harbor received a crane in 1966 and was fitted with a sheet pile wall in 1974. In the meantime, however, the "Seeblick" boat harbor (opposite the sailing school) is significantly larger. From an economic point of view, tourism is of the greatest importance because of the stupid situation, but there is also a boatyard and a large fish smokehouse.

The tourism industry receives a strong impetus from the construction of the “Marissa Park”, a new settlement with 476 holiday houses and apartments in the south of the Lembrucher Dümmerufers. The holiday park, which is in the process of being built, extends over 18 hectares on the site of the former Schoddenhof. The plant should be completed in 2021.

traffic

The federal highway 51 ( Diepholz - Osnabrück ) runs to the east in the immediate vicinity . Passenger trains stopped at Lembruch station on the Osnabrück - Diepholz - Bremen line, which is conveniently located close to the Dümmersee recreational area, until 1984. The train station is now a pure depot.
