history

Meyenburg watermill

The oldest preserved historical monument is one in forestry DuEngel between the place and Uthlede in the town of Hagen in Bremen close to the A27 on the road "In the new mill" in a forest clearing passage grave from the Neolithic period.

After the subjugation of the peasant republic of Osterstade in 1233, Meyenburg emerged from a swamp castle, which was first built as a moated castle in 1309 on the initiative of the Archbishop of Bremen by the knight von Wersebe from Wersabe , today's manor of the von Wersebe . The manor house of the manor was rebuilt in the Renaissance style in 1504 after its destruction in 1429 .

The village of Meyenburg developed from the outer bailey , the area in which the knight's squires were settled. A document from the city of Bremen , in which the rights to the castle and local area were regulated, is the first written mention of the place today.

In 1415 a church was built, which was replaced in 1857 by the new construction of today's St. Luciae Church . The tower from 1752 comes from the previous building.

Until 1932 Meyenburg belonged to the district of Blumenthal . On March 1, 1974, Meyenburg was incorporated into the community of Schwanewede.

economy

In Meyenburg there is a village shop, several catering facilities and numerous farms.

The water mill was subordinate to various noble families from the region, including the local von Wersebe family. Sprottbeeke and Sprengbeeke always had plenty of water, so in dry times the farmers came from far away to grind in Meyenburg. Other mills ( oil , fulling and barley mills) were built on the mill and flood ditch. The main mill had two flour and two barley courses. After a fire in 1830, it was rebuilt with a higher output. In 1840 a turbine was installed instead of the wooden mill wheel. In 1856 the mill was rebuilt again. An even more powerful turbine was running from 1919 to 1970. The last miller, Johann Iggena, shut down the mill. The district of Osterholz had the turbine house torn down and a mill wheel reinstalled. In the functioning mill there is now one of the working group for village beautification and home care Meyenburg e. V. operated Heimatstube.
