Nordhelm is located behind the first northern chain of dunes on the island northeast of the main town of Norderney. The settlement, which emerged from 1936, initially had no direct connection to the neighboring, grown-up place. For this reason, the district also has the name Nordhelmsiedlung . The inhabitants of Nordhelm are called settlers by the rest of the islanders .

Since the entire urban area is located at the western end of the island of Norderney, the unwritten law applies, according to which Lippestrasse is regarded as the limit of the development. This is due to the city's location in the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park and the associated law on the Lower Saxony Wadden Sea National Park (NWattNPG). The area east of the city is considered to be a geoscientifically significant landscape form. Lippestrasse borders directly on the Nordhelm district and, with a few exceptions, represents the eastern development boundary of the urban area. The exceptions are the lighthouse in the middle of the island and the island golf course with the adjacent settlements Am Leuchtturm and Grohde and the nearby one Norderney airfield , the Norderney Dünensender youth hostel to the west and the former buildings of the Eiland and Tünnbak state domains to the east .

To the south of the settlement, a strip of land between Oderstrasse and Karl-Rieger-Weg leading to the east of the island was greened in 1972/73 in order to enable noise protection for the adjacent buildings.

Origin of name

The name of the Nordhelm district is Low German and is based on the helmet plant known as beach grass, which overgrows dunes and promotes their growth. The farmland Nordhelm , a dune valley east of the village, is mentioned as early as 1796 .

history

The Nordhelm district consists of several former settlement buildings of different sizes, the primary purpose of which was to accommodate the personnel of the Norderney sea fortress and the members of the sea flight squadron deployed on Norderney in up to 200 settlement houses. Plots of 500 to 1000 square meters of building site were made available.

The houses, which were completed in early 1938 and some of which have been preserved in their original state, are one- or two-story brick buildings with a hipped roof . At the beginning, the natural dune chains began to be removed. After a total of 116 apartments for members of the Wehrmacht had already been completed around the island's water tower , the construction of further barracks in the newly created Nordhelm settlement began in 1938.

After the Second World War , the then mayor Willi Lührs supported the efforts of several Norderneyer citizens to build a house in the area of ​​the settlement, as there was a housing shortage on the island. A development plan was drawn up and two simple, single-storey house types with a gable roof were offered. The continuation of the development from 1958 closed the gap to the old city limits, which in 1963/64 was still at the height of the cape (Mayor-Willy-Lührs-Straße) and east of the Seehospiz . The building land adjacent to the “Nordhelm” settlement east of Birkenweg in the course of Nordhelm-, Rhein- and Lippestrasse was initially called “Meierei-Siedlung”. The northern architect Eschebach provided the design. Until the end of 1954, the entire area was called "Siedlung Nordhelm". The postal address was continued with a serial number.

The buildings erected before the Second World War were sold by the Federal Property Authority to the tenants, who either raised them by one floor to accommodate guests or to create holiday homes. Over time, some of the buildings were converted into residential buildings, converted or expanded. In the course of the increasing tourism on Norderney, new, multi-storey holiday homes and second homes were built, whereas Norderneyer's citizens have come together to form a citizens' initiative .

The center of the district is the Remmer-Harms-Eck, which commemorates the long-time mayor and only honorary citizen of the city of Norderney. The square was redesigned in 1980 as part of a city beautification campaign. After the closure of a restaurant in 2012, there is only one more restaurant in the Nordhelm district, a branch with a café of the Inselbäckers, a restaurant in the former dairy building and a fresh market at Nordhelmstrasse 66, initially operated by the Norderney consumer cooperative founded in 1920. This shop was opened on May 23, 1961 and was the first self-service shop on Norderney. South of the border between the district and the Ruppertsburger Wäldchen (pine forest) is the site of a campsite .

The Allergy and Dermatology Clinic Norderney, founded in 1953, has been located in the hospital building in the northeast of the settlement since 1965. The hospital has 168 beds and, in addition to the dialysis center, also has a dermatological department.

On June 15 and 16, 2013, the residents of the Nordhelm settlement celebrated the 75th anniversary of the district.

Street names

With the exception of the municipal road Nordhelmstrasse , which runs in an east-west direction, all roads and access routes have been named after German rivers ( Elbe , Ems , Jade , Lippe , Main , Oder , Rhine and Weser ) since the beginning of 1955 . Initially, city names were intentional. Only the three streets Waldweg , Kiefernweg and Birkenweg leading from Richthofenstraße in the middle of the island towards the district are different. The connecting street Am Alten Schirrhof in the south-east of the district is based on the location of the Stelldichein station belonging to the naval railway, the former Schirrhof fortress .

bus connections

Meierei at the southeast end of Nordhelm. The “Meierei” stop is on the corner of Lippestraße and Karl-Rieger-Weg.

There is a connection to local public transport via the bus stops on lines 3 and 5 of the Norderney-based Peter Tjaden Nahverkehrs GmbH, a subsidiary of the Norden-Frisia shipping company , located in the district. Line 4 is served by the company Omnibusverkehr Fischer. In addition, an inner-city bus service from Staatsbad Norderney GmbH is available for NorderneyCard holders .

Bicycle and hiking trails

Several running, hiking and cycling trails on the island run through the Nordhelm district and have a total length of around 80 kilometers. Also on Lippestrasse, the eastern edge of the settlement, riding stables and the riding u. Fahrverein Norderney eV located, which offer a starting point for the riding routes laid out on the island.

Personalities

The doctor Wolfgang Menger lived and practiced in his house on Emsstrasse.
