Line
In the Middle Ages, the Liene was a left tributary of the Weser , the source of which was on the Oldenburger Geest near Rastede and which flowed into the river in what is now the Elsfleth district of Lienen, which is named after him . In the Middle Ages, there was a castle of the Counts of Oldenburg , also called Liene , at the mouth of the Lien , which was destroyed by Stedinger in 1154 .
A dike breach of the Weser near Mittelhammelwarden (today Käseburg ) that occurred during the second Marcellus flood on January 16, 1362 turned the Liene into an estuary of the Jade and flooded large parts of the Linebrok north of the Liene . By building a dike near Salzendeich around 1500, the connection between the Weser and Jade over the Liene was cut. At the same time, the Rasteder Bäke, which originally flowed over the Liene into the Weser, was diverted into the Jade by this measure. Between 1523 and 1546 the area around Neuenfelde (today in the municipality of Ovelgönne ) was drained and settled. The Great Sea , a lake to which the line had temporarily widened, was also drained over time. Before the Marcellus flood, the Liene separated the northern part of the Moorriem from its southern part, which is still called Moorriem today.
Even today, a small section of the river in Lienen is called Liene . Otherwise, only the name Alte Liene (a border road between the town of Elsfleth and the municipality of Ovelgönne) reminds of the river.
