The Nobiskuhle is a lake northwest of Bremen on the left side of the Weser near Altenesch , today the municipality of Lemwerder , Wesermarsch district , Lower Saxony .
description
The almost circular body of water with a diameter of 150 meters lies at the intersection of the Lemwerdern districts of Braake, Altenesch and Deichshausen. The Nobiskuhle is located in the immediate vicinity of the left bank of the Weser and a branch of the Ochtum , the so-called Alte Ochtum . The edges of the lake are surrounded by trees and a few weekend houses have been built on the north bank.
The Brake , a scouring caused by a dike breach during a storm surge, is said to have originated in 1478.
The name is probably related to a Nobiskrug that was formerly supposed to be at this point , a special form of medieval inns that has not been conclusively clarified.
Nobissage
Ludwig Strackerjan has passed on a legend told in the area about the origin of the Nobiskuhle. According to this, farmers on the right bank of the Weser bribed a man named Nobis on the Stedinger side with a cow and a red skirt to damage the dike near Altenesch during an extraordinarily high storm surge in order to flood the hinterland on the left bank of the Weser and thus the danger of to avert the right bank of the Weser. However, the perpetrator was caught and sentenced to roll into the waterhole he was responsible for in a barrel reinforced with nails driven inward. When the new dike was raised above him, he is said to have shouted: "De rode rock, de colorful Koh, de covers mi poor sunners to!"
