history

Lilienthal abbey church

The Bishop of Bremen and first Hamburg Archbishop Ansgar (Archbishop) had a stone path chapel built in 865 on the small Geest hill of today's St. Juergens Church .

The village of Trupe was first mentioned in 937, and its chapel in 1183.

The development of the Sankt-Jürgensland in the west of today's municipal area by Dutch settlers ( Holler colonization ) began in 1106.

Lilienthal Monastery

The place Lilienthal itself goes back to the establishment of the Lilienthal Monastery by the Archbishop of Bremen Gerhard II . Construction of the nunnery began in 1232 under the name Sancta Maria in Valle Liliorum ('St. Mary in the Valley of the Lilies'), which was affiliated to the Cistercian Order and consecrated in 1264. Mary with the child and the lilies as her symbol appear in the local coat of arms to this day. The monastery experienced its heyday around 1400.

After the Reformation , the monastery became a Protestant women's monastery, which was able to last until the end of the Thirty Years War under poor conditions . In 1650 the secularization took place ; The village of Lilienthal developed on the former property of the monastery, which was divided up.

Sweden

According to the provisions of the Peace of Westphalia , the Archbishopric of Bremen and the former Hochstift Verden were secularized to duchies and subordinated to the Kingdom of Sweden , which ruled the land between the Weser and Elbe . Queen Christina of Sweden enfeoffed a well-deserved Swedish military leader, Landgrave Friedrich von Hessen-Eschwege , with the newly created rule Osterholz, in which the offices of Lilienthal and Osterholz were merged. After the early death of the landgrave, his wife Eleonore took over the government with its seat in Osterholz in 1655 and worked hard to improve the economic and sanitary situation of the rural population. After her death in 1692, the fiefdom reverted to the Swedish crown.

Hanover

Lilienthal remained Swedish until 1712 - hence the Swedish colors of the coat of arms - when it came to Denmark and in 1719 under the rule of the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg . Lilienthal became the seat of a Hanoverian office. In 1740 the monastery complex was demolished.

In the second half of the 18th century, under the direction of the Hanover moor commissioner Jürgen Christian Findorff , several moor colonies were also established in the north of what is now the municipality of Lilienthal, Lüningsee (1763), Lüninghausen (1764), Westerwede (1764), Moorende (1778) and Mooringen (1778) and, after Findorff's death, Schrötersdorf (1805) and Neu Mooringen (1808).

Astronomy in Lilienthal

In 1782 the bailiff Johann Hieronymus Schroeter moved into the court. In addition to the administrative work, the occupation with astronomy took up a large part of his time. He built an observatory in Lilienthal in the garden of his office building . In the years that followed, the Lilienthal observatory became the best-equipped observatory in the world. Among other things, there was a " giant telescope " with a 50 cm aperture and 8.25 m focal length. In its time it was the largest observatory on the European continent. Lilienthal achieved fame through the telescope and was visited by astronomers , high-ranking state officials and the military from numerous countries. Schroeter was in correspondence with many important astronomers of his time. Together with Heinrich Wilhelm Olbers and other scholars, he founded the Astronomical Society in Lilienthal on September 21, 1800 , the world's first astronomical association. After Schroeter's death in 1816, the observatory fell into disrepair. In 1850 the last remnants were torn down. Most of the instruments had previously been sent to the University of Göttingen . The novel fragment Lilienthal or the astronomers of Arno Schmidt alludes to this observatory. A functional replica of the 27-foot reflector telescope from 1793 has been standing at the entrance to the village across from the Borgfelder Landhaus since November 2015. Telescopium Lilienthal .

19th century

The liberation war of 1813 hit Lilienthal hard. After an incident during the retreat, a French unit set the entire village of Lilienthal on fire. Only the church, a few houses and the observatory were spared from the flames.

With the German War of 1866, the Kingdom of Hanover was annexed by Prussia . In 1885 the Prussian government united the Hanoverian offices of Lilienthal and Osterholz to form the Osterholz district.

20th and 21st centuries

In the further course the community grew steadily. In 1939 it had 3,100 inhabitants, in 1974 of which 12,500. By incorporating the neighboring villages in the same year, the population grew to almost 17,000. Today Lilienthal is characterized by new residential areas, whose residents are often attracted by the proximity to the city of Bremen and want to build a "house in the country".

Former Lilienthal train station

From 1900 to 1956 Lilienthal was connected to Bremen by the Jan Reiners train .

On October 28, 2013, a bypass road with an elaborate new Wümmebrücke was put into operation in order to relieve the Lilienthaler Hauptstrasse from through traffic.

On August 1, 2014, the core town and Falkenberg were connected to the BSAG tram network.

The area of ​​today's municipality of Lilienthal has grown together through a series of historical dates:

to Lilienthal:

to Sankt Jürgen:

  • Frankenburg
  • Niederende-St. Jürgen (with Höftdeich, Moorhausen, Niederende, Sankt Jürgen and Vierhausen)
  • Top end
  • Wührden (with Mittelbauer)

  • In the territorial reform of March 1, 1974, the following were incorporated into Lilienthal :

religion

Sankt Juergensland: View from the Wümmedeich in Bremen to the St. Juergens Church

The denominations are divided into 56% Protestant, 7% Catholic and 37% non-religious, Muslims and others.

In 782 the area of ​​the lower Weser region was founded by St. Willehad , who later became Bishop of Bremen, did missionary work and chapels and churches were built in the region over the next few centuries. In 1232 a monastery was founded in Lilienthal and occupied by nuns of the Cistercian order . Until the Reformation , which took place in Lilienthal Abbey in 1604, pastoral care was provided by Osterholz and Scharmbeck, as well as by St.Jürgensland and in Trupe (both chapels still exist).

Protestant churches

Evangelical parish "St. Marien ”with a branch church in the Trupe district.

The Truper Chapel can be found, romantically located under old oaks, in Lilienthal's oldest district, Trupe. Trupe was first mentioned in documents in 937, long before Lilienthal (1232).

Erected over a previous building from the time of Charlemagne (around 800), the Truper Chapel was first mentioned in 1283. It was probably built at the end of the 12th century. There are remarkable gravestones from the 18th and 19th centuries on the site of the chapel. In 1813 the chapel was burned down by the French and rebuilt six years later. Also worth seeing is the small Romanesque St. Juergens church in the district of the same name.

Catholic Church

Roman Catholic parish "Good Shepherd"

In 1823 a Catholic church was consecrated in Bremen after the Reformation (St. Johann). From 1862 until 1945 church services were held periodically in a private apartment in Lilienthal, the parish vicarie Hemelingen (Land) "evangelized". In 1946, the current parish of Guter Hirt started its work in today's borders, when the Worpswede parish vicarie was formed. Church services were celebrated regularly in Grasberg , Worpswede and Lilienthal, and on November 26, 1961, the church in Lilienthal was consecrated by the Bishop of Hildesheim . Since then, Lilienthal has been the center of the community, which has belonged to the Holy Family parish in Osterholz-Scharmbeck since 2012

Evangelical Free Churches

Philip Church (Baptists)

The roots of the free church go back to the 1820s. Even before his time as a Baptist, Johann Gerhard Oncken evangelized alongside the Bremen revival preacher Friedrich Mallet in Lilienthal and the adjoining Teufelsmoor . From this missionary work, independent church-style house groups developed in Seebergen and Fischerhude, among others . After the first Baptist congregation was founded in Bremen in 1845, the Bremen preachers of this free church immediately followed up Oncken's missionary work and founded branch congregations of the Bremen free church in the Lilienthal area. After the Second World War , the evangelical free church community work experienced an upswing due to the influx of refugees. From 1990 to 1994, the parent community in Bremen dared a fresh start. In 1994, an older residential building at the Konventshof was acquired, which became a community center through additions and renovations. The Philippus congregation is today an independent Baptist congregation in the Federation of Evangelical Free Churches. It belongs to the national association of Baptists in the northwest .

Christ Centrum Oasis Lilienthal e. V.

At the end of 1945 families from the east came to Lilienthal with the stream of refugees. The first house groups were looked after by various preachers as a whole congregation. In 1951, an old barrack was rebuilt on the property at Am Schulhof 19a for the community (since 1970 eV). In 1954 the first pastor could be hired. In 1985 an extension was added to the parish hall. In 1995 the congregation changed its name to Christ Centrum OASIS e. V. In 1998 the building at Goebelstrasse 55–57 was purchased . The congregation is a member of the Bund Freikirchlicher Pfingstgemeinden ( KdöR ) and, as a regional congregation, a guest member of the Working Group of Christian Churches in Germany (ACK) in Lower Saxony.

Islam

A Muslim minority in Lilienthal consists primarily of families with Chechen, Kurdish, Turkish, Iranian, Kazakh, Arab, North African, Pakistani, Bosnian or Albanian roots.
