Johanniter coming

In Roddens there was a Johannitergut , which was first mentioned in 1420 in the Stader Kopiar , a Bremen archdeaconate register , as Rodenste . The order was probably created in the 14th century, when the Johanniterkommende Langewische west of Stollhamm had to be abandoned due to storm surges. The stone house and chapel built by the Johannites in Roddens is shown on a map in the Vorwerk atlas of the Oldenburg surveyor and cartographer Johann Conrad Musculus around 1648/49. The Johanniterkommende was drafted in the Reformation in 1531 by the sovereign Count Anton I of Oldenburg . Another commander of the Order of St. John was in the eastern neighborhood in Inte .
