Founding history of Neudbodens
Elector Maximilian Franz is considered the founder of Neudörpen. From 1784 to 1801 he was the last ruling Prince-Bishop of Münster . Under his government, 14 "bog colonies" were created, which he divided into a chain of new villages in the course of an economic improvement, including for navigability on the Ems.
Neighboring communities
The 14 colonies were: Neudörpen, Neudersum, Neurhede, Neusustrum, Neulehe, Neubörger, Breddenberg, Neuvrees, Neuarenberg, (Gehlenberg), Twist, Schwartenpohl, Neuversen, Hebelermoor and Rütenbrock.
The Niederstift Münster entrusted the state engineer and lieutenant Johann Hermann Anton Flensberg (1750–1824) with the embankment. He also headed a commission that dealt with the border with Holland in the Bourtanger Moor . In the course of this activity, Lieutenant Flensberg created a plan for cultivation (including drainage) and colonization of the moors in the Emsland. He raffled off the arable and pasture land of a total of 341 spaces that had been gained left and right along the Ems to colonists who were supposed to cultivate the land in the form of a hereditary lease and also had to live there.
Further details and precise data can be found in the sources in the Lower Saxony State Archives at the Osnabrück site :
On February 6, 1787 an application was made for the construction of a new building (new settlement). On August 19, 1788, the raffle was drawn for 16 applicants. The new building was approved on July 17, 1789.
