history

Mederns solar park

Mederns is an old terp village and was once an independent parish . Around 1532 the church was destroyed by a storm surge and not rebuilt. The stones of the wall remnants were used by order of the Jever rule to build the St. Anne's Gate there. The deceased Medernser are buried in the old cemetery to this day. A large wooden cross has stood in the cemetery since 1992 as a reminder of the former church.

The former village school is now a residential building.
