Moorhusen has been part of the municipality of Südbrookmerland in the district of Aurich in East Frisia since the municipal area reform of July 1, 1972 . The mayor is Hinrich Albrecht.

Location and area

Moorhusen is located about ten kilometers northwest of the district town of Aurich and a good 13 kilometers southeast of the north . Overall, the district covers an area of ​​5.21 square kilometers, which in Moorhusen rise to elevations of up to 2.5 meters above sea level. The colonists have now largely removed the originally existing bog soil, so that today the soil mainly consists of valley sands and loam, which are underlain by Gley - Podzol .

history

The reclamation and settlement of Moorhusen began in 1770. The place was created at the intersection of today's district road 118, which leads from Victorbur to Rechtsupweg , with district road 204 to Berumerfehn . The place is mentioned for the first time in 1787 as Moorhuesen . The current spelling has been used since 1823. The place name is of East Frisian-Low German origin. It means houses in the moor .

During the Napoleonic period (1806-1813), Moorhusen belonged to the arrondissement of Aurich in the Kingdom of Holland after the battle of Jena and Auerstedt (1806) . From then on, Moorhusen was part of the Mairie Wiegboldsbur . On July 9, 1810, it came directly to the French Empire as part of the new Ems-Orientale (Osterems) department . After its sinking in the Battle of Waterloo and a brief interlude, Moorhusen and East Frisia were added to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1815. After the Hanoverian administration, the village was part of the Untervogtei Riepe within the Landdrostei Aurich from 1817 .

Until 1870, Moorhusen was affiliated with the Engerhafe poor association and the Engerhafe parish. After that, the village and the neighboring Münkeboe formed a joint parish that still exists today.

During the Weimar Republic , the SPD was the strongest force in the election for the German National Assembly with 56.9 percent of the vote. In the Reichstag elections in 1924, however, it lost many votes and missed its 1919 result by a total of 20 percentage points. It was just ahead of the left-wing liberal DDP. At the end of the Weimar Republic, the National Socialists were particularly popular, so that the election victories in 1930 and 1932 with 50.6 percent (1930) and 85 percent (1932) clearly went to the NSDAP. After the Second World War, on the other hand, the SPD dominated again and emerged as the strongest force in every election except for the federal elections in 1965 and 1969. In 2005 the SPD received 65.3 percent of the vote, while the CDU stagnated at 18.7 percent.

education

One of the two locations of the Integrated Comprehensive School Marienhafe-Moorhusen has been located in Moorhusen since summer 2016 . There are long-term plans to train grades 5–8 in Moorhusen and older students in Marienhafe. While in the current school year only grade 5 is in Moorhusen, the next grades should follow them there. Before 2006, the secondary and secondary schools in Moorhusen were located in the premises of the IGS . There was also a branch of the Ulricianum grammar school in Aurich. The Moorhusen elementary school is also in the immediate vicinity of the IGS .

religion

The only church building in the village is the chapel of the Evangelical Free Church Community ( Baptists ), which was built in 1908 and last expanded in 2008. The local Protestant Christians are members of the Münkeboe-Moorhusen parish .
