The mill in Wiegboldsbur

The formerly independent place Wiegboldsbur ( Low German : Wiebelsbur ) in East Friesland has been part of the municipality of Südbrookmerland since the municipal reform that came into force on July 1, 1972 . Wiegboldsbur is a row settlement and is located on the Great Sea about 10 kilometers northwest of the seaport town of Emden . The mayor is Bernhard Behrends (SPD).

Geography and geology

Wiegboldsbur is located about three kilometers southeast of Georgsheil at heights between 0.2 meters below and 2 meters above sea ​​level . The row village extends along the county road 113 in the immediate vicinity of the Wiegboldsburer Riede river in the transition area between marshland , geest and moor .

Development of the place name

The village was first mentioned in the 9th century as Uuibodasholta and Wibodi silva in the abbey register of Werden monastery . It later emerged as Wibadeshof (around 1250), Wilbaldingaszerspele (around 1300), Wiboldeshoff , Wibelsburen ( towards the end of the 15th century), Wiebelsbaur (around 1700) and Wiegboldsbuhr and Wibelsbur (in the 18th century). Other traditional variants of the place name are Wibolduskeriken and Wibbodeshoff . The name of the place name is interpreted as a combination of the call name Wi (g) bald and Bur (= peasantry). The name has a counterpart in Groningerland with the unidentified parish of Wibadaskerikon or Wigbaldeswerf .

history

Wiegboldsbur is one of the oldest communities in East Friesland. The settlement of the place probably began as early as the 7th century on three artificially raised warps. The residents of the village built their first church in the 10th century. The construction of today's brick church began around 1250.

In the Brokmerbrief , the 13th century code of the Brocmanni , the inhabitants of the settlement area west of Aurich , which was reclaimed by the end of the 12th century , it says in the 218th Küre: “The Brokmen make this a law that no entourage within the Wiegboldsburer Parish may be with a fine of eight marks and loss of the house. ”The ban on having“ hired entourage ”(mercenaries) suggests that the Wiegboldsbur parish was a place that was under special protection. One can therefore assume that Wiegboldsbur was the place of jurisdiction for Brokmerland. Since such places were almost always near churches, it can be assumed with a high degree of probability that law for the inhabitants of Brokmerland was pronounced in the immediate vicinity of the church. A collar of the pillory still exists on the church wall today .

In the High Middle Ages Wiegboldsbur developed into the capital of the so-called Oprinerland (= land on the seas and waters), the place of which the village is mentioned in documents in 1401.

With the rise of the chiefs of the house of tom Brok lost Wiegboldsbur important. The main town of Brookmerland was then Marienhafe . The Cirksena , who succeeded tom Brok, divided their domain for administration into offices. From then on Wiegboldsbur was part of the Aurich office and formed in this with the parishes Engerhafe, Victorbur, Bedekaspel and Forlitz-Blaukirchen the Südbrookmer Vogtei, whose main seat was Oldeborg .

Attractions

The Wibadi Church.
The organ

The Wibadi Church was built around 1250 on a warf , an artificial heaped hill, on 1.15 meters deep foundations. A wooden church that burned down had previously stood in the same place. The brick-built church is one of the seven Sendkirchen, i.e. the oldest churches in Brokmerland. The organ was built in 1818/1819 by Wilhelm Eilert Schmid with eight registers and is still almost original. Since 1985, the old bell tower has had two church bells again after one was melted down in the First World War . When the church got its name and who Wibadus was cannot be clarified.

Under the motto "Experience nature - understand nature", the NABU School Farm Woldenhof has been offering school classes and youth groups the opportunity to experience natural farming on a listed East Frisian Gulfhof from 1858 since 2002 . The Wiegboldsbur windmill , a three-story Dutch gallery from 1812 with a compass rose and louvre flaps, is maintained by an association on a voluntary basis in the immediate vicinity of the Woldenhof ( Wolde - from East Fr. Platt woel = "marshland") .
