history

Poghausen is an old farming village. It was first mentioned as Poggehausen in the "Beestbeschreibung Ambts Stickhausen Lengener Vogtey" from 1598. At that time Poghausen had ten farms with a herd of 16 horses, 26 oxen, 45 cows and 27 calves.

The expansion of the road from Remels via Spols and Poghausen to Ockenhausen began in 1908, but was not completed until 1926. In 1911 a grain windmill was built in Poghausen, which was given the old East Frisian women's name Foline . It is a Dutch gallery that was in operation until 1960. The mill is now in Berlin in the German Museum of Technology . On April 2, 1913, the villages of Poghausen and Spols received a school building with an attached teacher's apartment. The school was about halfway between Poghausen and Spols. The school had an attached teacher's apartment and was set up for around 70 students. From 1916 , Hermann Tempel , who came from Ditzum and later became a member of the Reichstag for the SPD, worked as a temporary teacher in Poghausen. The school initially belonged to a school association consisting of the teaching facilities in Remels, Jübberde, Selverde and Klein-Remels as well as Poghausen / Spols. A school association of its own was only set up in 1927. The school operation lasted until 1967: In that year a center school for the northern Uplengen municipality was established in Stapel .

During the Weimar Republic , the residents of Poghausen and Spols, who were combined to form an electoral district, initially voted liberally with a large majority, but from 1924 onwards just as clearly right-wing to right-wing extremist parties. While the DDP received 65 percent in the election to the German National Assembly in 1919 and left the other parties well behind ( DNVP : 18.5 percent, DVP 10.7 percent and SPD 5.8 percent), the picture in the Reichstag election was the same Fundamentally changed in December 1924 : The DNVP won with 83.6 percent. In the 1930 Reichstag election , the NSDAP received the most votes with 39 percent, ahead of the DNVP with 37.3 percent. The third strongest force was the Protestant-conservative Christian Social People's Service with 13.6 percent . The elections in July 1932 finally produced 91.6 percent of the votes for the NSDAP, all other votes went to the DNVP, so that a total of 100 percent of the population voted for a national conservative or fascist party.

Together with the neighboring town of Spols, the Poghausers founded a volunteer fire brigade in 1937 . In 1938 a police station ("Gendarmeriehöft") was built in Poghausen, which was 56 square kilometers, which was then the largest area of ​​a police station in East Friesland. In addition to the headquarters, the station was also responsible for the towns of Spols, Neudorf, Stapel, Neufirrel, Oltmannsfehn, Ockenhausen, Meinersfehn and Stapelermoor. The station lasted until 1969.

In contrast to the rest of East Friesland, the CDU in the Leer district was organized very early after World War II and achieved the best results there within the region, while East Friesland as a whole is a classic SPD stronghold. The Christian Democrats won the Bundestag election in 1949 with an absolute majority and did not give them up in the subsequent elections. The record result was achieved in the Federal Parliament election in 1957 with 82.4 percent. Even in the "Willy Brandt election" in 1972 , which brought the SPD a record result in East Friesland and penetrated some of the previous CDU bastions, the area remained a support for the CDU. Only in the 1998 general election, in which Gerhard Schröder stood for the SPD, the Social Democrats in Poghausen were ahead with 45.9 percent. In the 2005 Bundestag election, the CDU again won with 49 percent, clearly ahead of the SPD (31.4 percent).

The place grew considerably, mainly due to the reception of displaced persons from the former eastern areas of the German Empire. In 1946 they made up 98 of the total of 330 inhabitants. This corresponded to a share of 29.7 percent. The proportion fell significantly by 1950 to 28.3 percent (93 of 329 inhabitants).

On January 1, 1973, Poghausen was incorporated into the new municipality of Uplengen.
