Soerhausen

Sörhausen (Low German: Seruusen) belongs to the Ristedt district of the town of Syke in the Lower Saxony district of Diepholz in the Wildeshauser Geest nature reserve . Until 1974 Sörhausen was part of the then independent municipality Ristedt - since then it has belonged to the city of Syke.

Sörhausen is 1 km south of Ristedt between the county road 113 and the forest area Hülsenberg , which mostly belongs to the Bassum district of Nordwohlde .

Sörhausen is a settlement in which a few farms still exist. The place was mentioned for the first time in 1404. Together with Ristedt it belongs to the parish of Barrien . In 1979 a boulder with the inscription “Sörhausen” was placed on the village square so that the place name would not be forgotten.

Sörhausen is located on the Way of St. James in Northern Germany, more precisely on the section between Bremen and Osnabrück . For the closer area, the route runs over Barrien , the Hohe Berg in Leerßen, Sörhausen, Fesenfeld, Gräfinghausen, Klosterseelte and Dünsen to Harpstedt .

At the war memorial in Ristedt , one side of the memorial reads : IN TREUE FEST // THE DEAD HERO // RISTEDT SOERHAUSEN. With the names of the 23 fallen and 3 missing from the First World War and the names of the 38 fallen and 26 missing from the Second World War , it is not noted in each case who and how many of them came from Sörhausen.
