Location of Moorriem in Lower Saxony

Moorriem is a Moormarschsiedlung in the German district of Wesermarsch . From 1933 to 1974 Moorriem was the name of a municipality in Oldenburg or (from 1946) in Lower Saxony , which was then incorporated into the city of Elsfleth . When the term Moorriem is used today, it mainly refers to the west of the city of Elsfleth. The Elsflether district of Moorriem is a 16 km long strip of settlement between the Weser and Oldenburg . It begins east of Oldenburg in Moorhausen and extends over Butteldorf and Bardenfleth to Neuenbrok .

Geographical reference of the name Moorriem

The word Moorriem can probably from the Linear settlements derived, which in the Middle Ages -south north east in front of the Oldenburger Geest lying marshland were built. This area originally extended both north and south of the later municipality of Moorriem . In the north it was bounded by the settlement area of ​​the Frisians , the Gau Rüstringen , in the south, south of the Hunte , by the Delmenhorster Geest . The area called Moorriem in the Middle Ages was largely congruent with the western part of Nieder-Stedingens . The term Nieder-Stedingen refers to the eastern part of the Ammergau , which was inhabited by Saxony at the time when the German tribal areas were divided into Gaue . East of the Morriem in Nieder-Stedingen were the other three marching bailiffs Oldenbrok, Strückhausen and Hammelwarden.

During the time of the Danish rule over Oldenburg and the Duchy of Oldenburg there was a Vogtei Moorriem , to which the parishes Elsfleth, Neuenbrok, Bardenfleth and Altenhuntorf belonged.

The area known today as Mooriem is also called Süd-Moorriem in the historical context . Because it was only when the North Sea broke into the Wesermarsch area in the late Middle Ages and early modern times that the Linebrok was separated from the part of the Moorriem south of it by the Liene , a connecting arm between the Weser and the Jade , to which only the street name " Alte Liene ”remembers. The former Nord-Moorriem is now largely in the area of ​​the municipality of Ovelgönne .

history

Archaeological finds from the Hunteufer near Gellenerdeich show that it was in the Moorriemer area as early as 2000 BC. There were farmers who ran cattle, but at the end of the Neolithic Age they had to give up their settlements because of increasingly inhospitable soil conditions.

When Emperor Heinrich IV transferred the moorland to Archbishop Adalbert of Bremen in 1062 , the planned colonization of Moorriem began. To the marsh reclaimed to make, were in the the Tide initially affected area dike - and Sielbauten required. These were carried out by specialists from Holland and Flanders based on the Dutch model . On the higher edge of the Ipweger Moor , the farmers erected their buildings close to each other, from here they worked their way further and further into the moor. This created narrow plots of land, up to eight kilometers long, but only 20 to 60 meters wide. In the 12./13. In the 19th century a stick dam was built , which is classified as an archaeological find under the name Bohlenweg XXII (Ip) , but is known in the Moorriemer area as Holten Straat ( wooden road , wooden path). It runs along the southern edge of the Ipweger Moor and corresponds to a section of today's state road 65 between Oldenburg and Elsfleth between Moorhausen and Huntorf .

In the 15th century there were battles between Oldenburgers and Bremen residents in the Moorriemer area, which were called "Bremen Baptism" ( Bremer Döpe ). The first "baptism" refers to the year 1464, when 250 Bremer drowned in the Hunte during a feud; the second occurred when Bremen robbers were on the retreat with their booty in 1476, caught by a troop of Oldenburg Count Gerd and defeated at Paradies an der Gellener Bäke.

The municipality of Moorriem was formed in 1933 from Neuenbrok, Bardenfleth and Altenhuntorf. Among Moorriem 1933, the farming communities Altendorf I, Altendorf II, Barg Horn, Burwinkel, Butteldorf, Dalsper, Eckfleth, yells, Huntorf, colony Barg Horn, Loyermoor, Sea churches, City center, Moordorf, Moorhausen, Moorseite, Niederhörne, Niederort, Nordermoor, Oberhörne, Wehrder and Wolfsstrasse. At that time Moorriem had 4876 inhabitants; the number fell to 4,744 by 1939.

In 1974 the municipality of Moorriem lost its independence and was connected to Elsfleth.

2013, the demand was loud, the Moorriem in the UNESCO - World Heritage have each of list. On November 11, 2013, the construction committee of the district council of the Wesermarsch district determined that the Moorriem cultural landscape with regard to the location and its surrounding area could be determined as valuable and unique with a so-called unique selling point according to current findings and that this determination was a realistic success at least with regard to the Inclusion in the list of proposals of Unesco exists. The state of Lower Saxony, which is responsible for such an application, has not yet taken action in this matter.
