The Lune is a right tributary of the sub- Weser , a small Meadow River, the measures to the mouth of the source in the sub-Weser about 43 kilometers. At the Bremervörder / Cuxhaven district border, the Volkmarster Lune is added to the source of the Lune. Between Kirchwistedt and Stemmer mills also Altwistedter Lune in the Lune, which then leads Beverstedt , Lunestedt , Nesse in Loxstedt and Lanhausen to Lunesiel south of the fishing port of Bremerhaven flows. The river was a main artery until the beginning of the 17th century and was navigable as far as Deelbrügge .
History of laying the Lune
In connection with the construction and expansion of the fishing port in Bremerhaven (early 1920s), the states of Prussia and Oldenburg , the city of Geestemünde and existing water boards established mutual rights and obligations. From a later point of view, the rights of the march farmers in Stotel , Nesse, Welle, Lanhausen, Fleeste and Wulsdorf were particularly obstructive . They had a “right to stow”: in order to provide their cattle with water, water from the Weser was channeled up to 25 cm high into the Lune. The consequences for landowners in the then 6,000 hectare catchment area were devastating. "Before the cattle in the marshland could even get to the drinking water, the cows in the low-lying areas between Stotel and Stubben had long been standing with four legs in the water." Regulation of the Lune was initiated as early as 1912, but was not completed until 1935. In 1925 the Lunearm was cordoned off in the Fischhafen and the Lune now flows into the Weser through a new Lunesiel. The farmers along the river agreed: The expansion of the Lune must go further. It also played a role that the river no longer dammed water mills and side streams were expanded so that the water flowed off - into the Lune.
In 1963 the Hollener farmer Hermann Siebert became head of the water association “Untere Lune”. It is thanks to his tireless work that the laying of the Lune began in October 1984. On July 3, 1978, the decision was made in Loxstedt to lead the lower reaches of the Lune to the Bütteler Siel. It was difficult to get the states of Bremen and Lower Saxony to work together. So the river was diverted within the Lower Saxony area. Finally, in the last days of June 1982 , the country chiefs Hans Koschnick and Ernst Albrecht agreed to implement the "big solution" of relocating the Lune for around 80 million DM. Bremen contributed 10 million DM the Great Luneplate is not divided by the Lune flowing through it. This means that industrial settlements and a port on the deep sea water remain possible in this area. ( Nordsee-Zeitung , July 1, 1982). "Huge floods were prevented yesterday in the integrated municipality of Beverstedt and parts of the municipality of Loxstedt," wrote the Nordsee-Zeitung on August 7, 1987, after the four pumps at the Lune's mouth in Büttel had pumped one million cubic meters of lunar water into the Weser for the first time .
The Lune now flows west and north of Stotel and south of Büttel to the Lunesiel pumping station , which is located west of Neuenlande . After this relocation of the mouth, the new lune is the second most northerly tributary to the Weser after the Geeste and the old lune, into which the Rohr still flows.
Protection status
The lune is located from the mouth of the Beverstedter Bach southwest of Beverstedt to the border with the federal state of Bremen in the south of Bremerhaven in the FFH area "Teichfledermausgewässer im Raum Bremerhaven / Bremen", which is secured as a nature reserve " Teichfledermausgewässer ".
The water of the Lune is mainly of good quality in its upper reaches (quality class II: moderately polluted). After the Dohrener Bach creek, west of Lunestedt, has been taken up, the water quality drops to quality class II-III: critically polluted up to the mouth.
Waterways on the Lune
Docking point on the Lune at the end of Lunestedt to Hollen
Bridge over the Lune near Holte-Loxstedt
Canoe trips on the Lune
On the Lune there are six entry and exit points between Beverstedt-Deelbrügge (L134) and Loxstedt-Nesse, where you can launch or disembark your canoe:
- Beverstedt-Deelbrügge
- Lunestedt / exit Hollen
- Lunestedt / Quabenmoor (farm road)
- Loxstedt-Düring / camping site at the lieutenants bridge
- Loxstedt-Nesse / Wirtschaftsweg Im Dallfordel
- Loxstedt-Nesse / utility road Luneparzellen (near the motorway)
The entry and exit points were created with funding from the LEADER project of the European Union. The entry and exit points are mostly unusable because the water level of the Lune fluctuates extremely and is usually too low for the use of the landing stages.
From the water you can glide silently through meadows and pastures as well as past bank vegetation and swamp forests and experience the fauna. This also includes cranes, kingfishers and storks. If you are lucky, you will also find the traces of the otter that is on the move at night.
