Moordorf has been the largest district in the municipality of Südbrookmerland in the Aurich district in East Friesland since the local government reform of 1972 . The place has 6361 inhabitants (as of July 1, 2012) and is at an altitude of about 3 m above sea level. NN . Moordorf was originally a street village , but developed into a scattered settlement through the designation of new building areas .
geography
Geographical location and natural space
Moordorf is located in the east of the municipality of Südbrookmerland on both sides of the B 72 . The administrative seat of the municipality, Victorbur , is about three kilometers northwest of the village. Immediately adjacent localities clockwise, starting in the northeast: Georgsfeld , Walle , Extum (all of Aurich), Theene and Victorbur (all of Südbrookmerland).
The place is about six kilometers west of the city of Aurich and 18 kilometers northeast of the city of Emden . It was created along an old trade and post route from Aurich to Marienhafe on the so-called Schwarzen Weg in the middle of the former large high moor complex of the Münkeboe-Tannenhauser Moor . This extended northwest of Aurich into the 18th century. The first settlers developed the moorland by slash and burn with subsequent cultivation of buckwheat and livestock. In the meantime, the moor has been almost completely removed. There are no more raised bogs in the village today. Remnants of this moor have been preserved immediately at the local border, but belong to the district of Victorbur.
Today the place is criss-crossed by many ditches, all of which flow into the Abelitz-Moordorf Canal and the Ring Canal. However, this drainage system was only built at the end of the 19th century in the years 1870–1877. Before that, the residents had great problems with the water of the raised bog, which pressed unhindered onto the fields and into the village from the north, which made agricultural use of the poor soils difficult.
climate
Moordorf lies in the temperate climate zone. The municipality is mainly in the direct influence of the North Sea . In summer the daytime temperatures are lower, in winter often higher than in the further inland. The climate is generally characterized by the Central European west wind zone.
According to the effective climate classification of Köppen , north is in the classification Cfb .
- Climate zone C : warm-temperate climate
- Climate type Cf : humid-temperate climate
- Climate subtype b : warm summers
The closest weather station is in Aurich (see there for further information).
history
The gold disc from Moordorf from the Bronze Age
The presence of people in the area of the place can be documented for the first time for the Nordic Bronze Age . However, permanent settlement of the moorland did not begin. The Moordorf gold disc , also known as the sun disc , is a sculpture that is dated to the second period of the Bronze Age (around 1500 to 1300 BC). A resident of Moordorf discovered them in 1910 near the peat ditch. Today the sculpture belongs to the holdings of the Lower Saxony State Museum in Hanover .
From the bog colonization to 1933
Following the adoption of the Urbarmachungsediktes by King Frederick II. , Who in 1744 competed for power in East Friesland, in 1767 began in the Südbrookmer bailiwick that settlement in Moordorf. The Prussian administration divided up the desolate, undeveloped heather fields and moors and gave them away to those willing to settle for the purpose of cultivation. In contrast to other projects of the internal colonization of the Prussians, the settlement in Moordorf happened very unprepared. While in the feudal settlements, for example, the founders ensured drainage by creating canals and thus created an important prerequisite for rapid cultivation, the Prussian administration left the first settlers in Moordorf to their fate.
The state authorities also showed no great interest in the selection of the settlers. Among the first colonists were many penniless day laborers or hirers from the surrounding area who tried to escape the overpopulation there. The majority of the settlers (70 percent) came from East Frisia, the others from the provinces of Oldenburg and Hanover as well as the rest of Germany . In addition, there were disused soldiers from the king's army, of whom only two remained permanently in Moordorf. The Prussians lured them to Moordorf with the hope of finding their own land.
The first settlers were assigned plots of land 50 Ruten wide (around 188 m) along the so-called Black Path , a section of the military road leading north from Aurich. These should widen them towards the moor. On average, the colonates were between 2 and 6 diematics (between 11,400 and 34,200 m²). This made the plots much too small to feed the settlers.
In addition, the unproductive soil was quickly depleted by the peat fire culture . So the residents could often no longer pay the long lease . Many colonists sank into poverty. The main causes of the misery are the largely haphazard settlement without state control, the far too small colonies , the lack of infrastructure measures , such as the construction of canals in the moor (see also Fehnsiedlungen ), the lack of settler selection and the incessant influx of penniless settlers. Nevertheless, the inner colonization of the moorland East Frisia was in the 18th and 19th centuries. Century a worthwhile project of the Prussian state. The annual income in the sixties of the 19th century was an impressive 200,000 thalers with little investment. So the administration continued to award colonies in Moordorf. In addition, there was the wild settlement and the often practiced division of the already too small properties. As a result of the birth surplus and the steady immigration, the population grew rapidly. Moordorf was one of the most populous bog colonies in East Friesland, but it was also their poorest. The authors of a study from 1869 classified 49 percent of the population as poor . On average, this number in the bog colonies was eight percent.
The social situation in Moordorf worsened. The place was one of the most child-rich and at the same time poorest villages in Germany. The settlers lived in poor mud cottages , which often consisted of only two rooms: a living room and a stable. It was not uncommon for three to four children to sleep in one bed in these huts. The great poverty of the place was also expressed in the clothing, so that the Moordorfer were immediately recognizable. The children ran around barefoot until well into autumn, even though the bog freezes much earlier than in other parts of the country. Schooling was out of the question for most of the children. They had to contribute to the family's livelihood from an early age. The boys and girls often ended up as farmhands or maidservants, had to work with their parents or beg.
The great poverty and the accompanying phenomena that arise as a result, such as begging and the sale of self-made wicker baskets and junk, led to many rumors that historians have long since refuted. For a long time it was said that the place had been settled by gypsies - a dirty word at the time - or that it was a penal colony .
The great wave of emigration in the second half of the 19th century also affected Moordorf. At least 35 people left the place and sought their fortune in the United States of America . That this was not always done voluntarily can be proven for Moordorf in at least one case in which an undesired person was deported by the poor administration.
It was not until the end of the 19th century that the moorland in the village began to be drained. From 1870 to 1877 the 19.1 kilometer long Abelitz-Moordorf Canal was created for this purpose , which was deepened again from 1886 to 1894. In 1885 the ring canal was also dug, which begins in Münkeboe and flows into the Ems-Jade Canal in the south.
In 1883 Moordorf was connected to the rail network via the Abelitz – Aurich railway line . This was created as a branch line of the coastal railway (today the Rheine – Norddeich Mole railway line ) in order not to leave the provincial capital of Aurich without a railway connection. In 1914 the parish had to hand in one of the two bells to be melted down for armaments purposes.
In the Weimar Republic Moordorf was one of the strongholds of the Communists , which received over half of the votes in the Reich and Landtag elections. In 1928, 59 percent of the votes in the elections to the Prussian state parliament went to the KPD . Apart from Emden, the most active and combative potential of the radical left in East Friesland was concentrated in Moordorf. The KPD local association of Moordorf was the second largest in East Friesland after Emden. In the Reichstag elections on November 6, 1932, the KPD received 48 percent of the local vote.
time of the nationalsocialism
In the elections to the local council on March 12, 1933, the KPD received another five out of twelve seats, and the chairman of the KPD local group in Moordorf, Albert Meyer, was elected to the district council. However, the MPs were unable to exercise their mandates. The minutes of the municipal council meeting of March 31, 1933 noted: “It is announced that members of the KPD are not allowed to be invited.” In the period that followed, the National Socialists persecuted the Communists heavily. They slandered the party supporters as work-shy, anti-social, inferior and convicted rabble and subjected them to many reprisals. The Nazi propaganda relied on existing rumors and ensured that they were spread.
The establishment of National Socialist organizations was difficult in Moordorf. Before the transfer of power , the NSDAP in Moordorf had two members. By the end of 1933, around 50 had entered. By 1938 the local NSDAP group had 115 members, which was less than 10 percent of the village population. The long-time mayor did not join the party until 1937. After 1933, the town was headed by a non-party official for four years.
In 1934, 24 communists were arrested, and in 1937 another ten were sent to the concentration camp . In the same year a camp of the National Socialist female labor service was set up in Moordorf in the community center (the former poor house), the first camp in the Aurich district (later RAD camp 8/81).
In 1934 Moordorf was connected to the power grid of AG Ostfriesland / Oldenburg. The social situation remained bad. According to a survey from 1935, there were 406 inhabited houses in Moordorf at that time (including 17 emergency apartments). 273 families each had only one room available. The National Socialists planned to relocate the 100 poorest families who were not “capable of farming” to newly cultivated moorland areas. They then wanted to have their houses demolished and give the land to settlers of “good will”. The National Socialist propaganda machine was used to enforce this policy. As early as 1935, Horst Rechenbach , head of the Reich Office for the Selection of German Farmer Settlers and at the same time a representative of radical ideas of racial hygiene, published an article in which he described Moordorf as "a land plague that pollutes the whole area". It goes on to say that this "eyesore" can "only be removed by a detailed hereditary biological inventory [...]". This “investigation” was then carried out by Rechenbach in 1935/1936. Rechenbach compiled some statistics on alcoholism, crime, nonsense and indebtedness and explained: "It is superfluous to emphasize that the particularly inferior families are characterized by the largest number of children." So he came to the conclusion that the place was overpopulated. Of the 521 families, only 9.8 percent are “hereditary” good, 20.4 percent are average, 16.1 percent are questionable and 53.7 percent should be rejected. Only a third of its residents are suitable as farmers. He comes to the conclusion: “It should be noted that this is an example of a completely misguided rural settlement. [...] They were [...] anti-social elements of their own people. "
In the period that followed, there were various approaches to solving the "Moordorf problem". In 1937 the Aurich health department was commissioned to participate. Thereupon it had the assistant doctor Arend Lang create a paper about the "solution of the anti-social problem through the law for the prevention of hereditary offspring ". Using this eugenic sterilization law, which was introduced immediately after Hitler came to power , the National Socialists then had Moordorfer forcibly sterilized , taking into account the statistics and questionnaires of Rechenbach . There were also plans to accommodate so-called “inferior families” as workers in industrial areas or to relocate to the east.
In 1940, a doctor from Aurich submitted a dissertation to the medical faculty of the University of Hamburg on the subject of "inheritance of antisociality" using Moordorf's example and came to the conclusion that "antisociality is primarily plant-related" and thus hereditary. In the closing words, the author spoke out in favor of bringing anti-social people to forced sterilization.
During the war there was a prisoner of war camp (AK 272 of the Stalag XC) on Ekelser Strasse (roughly where the market square is today). Bombed out citizens of the city of Emden were later accommodated there.
Between 1933 and 1945, 70 to 80 villagers were subjected to persecution. One Moordorfer died in prison, seven or eight in concentration camps, and several died in punitive battalions . In the war, 234 Moordorfer died or are considered missing. All in all, about every third man from the town lost his life. On the basis of the law for the prevention of genetically ill offspring passed in 1933, there is evidence that 59 people were sterilized in Moordorf between 1934 and 1943.
Post-war development
After 1945 the barracks camp served as emergency accommodation for a long time. 121 refugees were also housed there in a makeshift manner. Their share in the total population of the village was around four percent, far below the average in East Frisia. This is due, among other things, to the fact that the former municipality of Moordorf was one of the poorest in Lower Saxony even after the war. The political situation stabilized only slowly. In the years from 1946 to 1959, the town had 12 mayors before Richard Lüken took office and held it until the municipality was dissolved. After that, Lüken was the first mayor of the municipality of Südbrookmerland.
The town experienced a decisive boost in development with the establishment of the Volkswagen factory in Emden in 1964, where more than a quarter of the population found employment in the 1970s. The standard of living in Moordorf gradually improved as a result of the change to a workers' settlement. The last mud huts were demolished or walled in with clinker bricks in the 1960s.
In the following years the place developed into the strongest economic center of the community of Südbrookmerland, which was formed in 1972. In 1989 the place celebrated the 222nd anniversary of its existence. The market square, which was built in 1996 and around which many shops and companies have settled, has meanwhile developed into the center of village life.
Development of the place name
At the beginning of the settlement, the place was named after an old trade and post route that led from Marienhafe to Aurich as a colony on the Schwarzer Weg . Due to its location in the moor, the name Mohrdorff , later Moordorf, established itself as early as 1771 .
Population development
Due to the designation of new building areas, the population has increased sharply since the 1990s. Today 6361 inhabitants live in Moordorf (data from July 1st, 2012).

politics
Since the municipal reform of 1972, Moordorf has been the most populous district in the municipality of Südbrookmerland. Mayor is Stefan Kleinert (SPD).
Political development
Whereas the KPD used to focus on the elections , Moordorf developed into a stronghold of the SPD after the Second World War . In the first general election in 1949, the SPD won the election with almost 30 percent (SPD: 29.4 percent; KPD: 25.4 percent; CDU : 13.5 percent; DP : 8.7 percent; FDP : 8.2 Percent; DRP : 6.3 percent). In the next few years the SPD was able to further expand its share of the vote. In the 1990s, the SPD achieved results around 70 percent. In 2005 the SPD received 69.0 percent in the federal elections (CDU: 14.2 percent; Greens 4.1 percent; FDP 4.8 percent; Die Linke : 5.3 percent, NPD : 1.9 percent).
coat of arms
The former municipality of Moordorf did not have its own coat of arms before the municipal reform.

Mayor
In the course of the municipal reform of July 1, 1972, Moordorf became a district of the municipality of Südbrookmerland. Walter Bobka (Free Association of Voters) was the first honorary mayor of the community of Südbrookmerland after the local government reform in 1972 for a short time. He was succeeded by the former mayor of Moordorf Richard Lüken, who left office in 1989 after serving 17 years. The former mayors became mayors. No local mayor was appointed for Moordorf until 1986. It is possible that Lüken exercised the office in parallel to his work as mayor.

Economy and Infrastructure
economy
Moordorf is the largest economic center in the municipality of Südbrookmerland with a market square, shops and banks. The catchment area Moordorf goes far beyond the local borders. The manufacturing industry is more strongly represented in an industrial area conveniently located at the confluence of the B 72 and the B 210 in Georgsheil , a few kilometers away . A small industrial area at Kreisstraße 118 for local businesses is in planning. Agriculture only plays a minor role. It is mainly carried out as a sideline. A large proportion of the population still finds work at the Volkswagen plant in Emden . Overall, Moordorf is a place for commuters .
traffic
In Moordorf, the B 72 / B 210, which run on the same route between Georgsheil and Aurich , meet the district road 118, which leads from Moordorf in the direction of the main town of Victorbur. Another district road leads from Moordorf in a southerly direction to Wiegboldsbur, a third in a north-easterly direction to the Aurich district of Tannenhausen .
The through-town from Moordorf and the further course of the federal road to Aurich are among the busiest sections of the federal roads in East Friesland. The narrow town through Moordorf is used by a good 17,700 vehicles every day. However, a not insignificant proportion of this is destination and source traffic; Moordorf is the central shopping area in the municipality of Südbrookmerland. In order to accelerate the flow of traffic, the through-road has been expanded until 2009 and added turning lanes.
The nearest motorway junction is Emden-Mitte , where the B 210 meets the A 31 (Emden- Bottrop ).
The Abelitz – Aurich railway through the village, which was closed in 1967, was reactivated in 2008, but has so far only been reopened for freight traffic. Today Moordorf is integrated into local public transport by bus connections. The nearest train stations are in Emden (long-distance traffic) and Marienhafe (regional traffic).
Education and schools
In the Moordorf school center are the special needs schools with the areas of learning ( Hinnerk-Haidjer-Schule ) and intellectual development ( Astrid-Lindgren-Schule ) as well as the joint secondary and secondary school. This expires. From the 2017/18 school year onwards, no more fifth graders will be accepted in Moordorf. In 1994 a new building was erected on the Ringstrasse for the primary school. From the beginning of the 2006/07 school year to 2014, the Free Waldorf School Ostfriesland, the first and so far the only one of its kind in the region, was housed in the former primary school building at Schultrift.
High school education is ensured at the Ulricianum in Aurich and at its branch in the southern Brookmerland district of Moorhusen. Vocational schools are located in Aurich, Emden and Norden (the three schools coordinate their offers so that there are as few double offers as possible). An integrated comprehensive school is also located in Aurich. The nearest university is in Emden , the nearest university in Oldenburg .
religion
The vast majority of the villagers are Evangelical Lutheran . From 1773 until the establishment of an independent parish in 1886, Moordorf was part of the Victorbur parish . The place has had its own church since 1893.
However, there are cemeteries much longer. The first cemetery was built on the grounds of the newly established school as early as 1776. In 1895 the cemetery was opened at today's church. It was to be expanded as early as 1935. However, this project was not implemented until the 1950s.
In 2011 the congregation had around 5,000 members. It is divided into two parish districts, each of which is fully provided by a parish office.
Statistics on the religious affiliation of the remaining villagers are not available. The Jehovah's Witnesses maintain a Kingdom Hall in Moordorf , which has also been used by the Aurich group since 2016. The building was inaugurated in 1962 and expanded in 1975 and 2016.
Culture and sights
Buildings and museums
The Moordorf Moor Museum deals with the colonization of moorland . As a museum of poverty , it has set itself the task of showing the difficult development history of the place. On the three hectare large open space there are several replica colonist huts and houses, from replica plague huts of the first settlers to the clay buildings of later residents to the colonist houses, some of which shaped the townscape until the 1960s.
The Martin Luther Church was built in the neo-Romanesque style at the end of the 19th century . Planning for the construction began in the early 1890s. This was made possible by a "generous gift of grace" from the emperor in the amount of 18,000 marks. This covered almost half of the construction costs. The church was consecrated on November 19, 1893. The altar was a gift from the Counts of Wedel. Count Edzard zu Innhausen and Knyphausen donated the communion chalice and the godfather . The church was able to open the windows in the choir after a donation of 100 marks from Dr. Peters from Berum made a donation of 100 marks to the community. The community used it to finance the windows in the choir room. A stranger donated another 200 euros. With this money the parish bought the chandeliers. The altar Bible is a gift from the Georgsheil Parish Conference.
In 1908 it received a bell tower and two new bells, one of which is still in the tower today. The case and two of the seven registers of the organ, which was built in 1895 by Johann Diepenbrock from Norden , are still original. The Alfred Führer company completely renovated the instrument in 1976. In 1978 the church was completely renovated. In 2005 it was given the name Martin Luther Church . The parish has two full pastorships which are spread over two parishes.
Sports
The largest sports club in town is the Moordorf e. V. (short: SG Moordorf ), with over 1000 members. The SG Moordorf offers a wide range of sporting activities for all ages, as well as special rehabilitation and health sports on. The football club SV Ostfrisia Moordorf , which currently has 16 teams, is also one of the largest clubs in town with 571 members. In 2001 the Boßelverein KBV Ostfrisia Moordorf celebrated the 70th anniversary of its existence. It has around 250 members. There are also two rifle clubs, a riding club and several small animal breeding clubs in the village.
