Location of Metjendorf in Lower Saxony

Metjendorf is a part of the municipality of Wiefelstede in the Ammerland district in Lower Saxony and borders directly on the independent city of Oldenburg . Metjendorf is in the Weser-Ems region . The former village developed into a suburb of the city of Oldenburg in the course of urbanization .

history

The place arose around an old post office and used to belong to the rural community of Oldenburg . In 1924 it became part of the newly formed municipality of Ofen . When this was dissolved again in the course of the Oldenburg administrative reform in 1933, Metjendorf was not proposed to the municipality of Bad Zwischenahn like Ofen , but to the municipality of Wiefelstede, because the place was spatially separated from the rest of the municipality by the construction of the Oldenburg air base . The number of inhabitants has risen rapidly in recent years due to building area developments. The place is and appears to be more of a “sleeping city” in front of Oldenburg without any dynamism of its own.
