Linebrok

The parish Linebrok was in the southeast of the Weser delta

Linebrok is the name of a former parish in the area of today's municipality of Ovelgönne in the Wesermarsch district in Lower Saxony . The landscape was given as a gift to Bremen's Archbishop Adalbert by King Heinrich IV, along with other quarry lands, in 1062 and was acquired by Rastede Monastery between 1124 and 1158 . In the High Middle Ages there was a castle of the same name in the area of Linebrok .

The village of the same name, located in the parish, went down during the Second Marcellus Flood on January 16, 1362, together with the castle (but not the church that gave the parish its name) in the floods of the North Sea, when the flood broke the river Liene , where the The village was then, expanded to a wide river in the Weser delta , which cut off the Linebroker Church from the parish of the parish Oldenbrok and Neuenbrok . In 1463 the church was destroyed as a result of a brotherly dispute between Count Gerhard and Moritz von Oldenburg. Then the parish Linebrok was divided into the parishes Neuenbrok, Oldenbrok and Großenmeer . The font in the Neuenbroker Church is said to come from the Linebroker Church. Before the Liene was widened, the Linebrok was considered part of the Moorriem landscape .

Today the area "Neuenbroker Feld" is located on the site of the lost village. The section of the federal road 211 between Großenmeer and Oldenbrok , which runs through the former Linebrok, is consequently called "Linebroker Straße".
