geography

Topography and structure of the municipality of Hagen

location

The eastern part of the integrated community lay with the communities Bramstedt, Hagen and Wulsbüttel in the foothills of the Wesermünder Geest , which reaches heights of about 28 m between Wulsbüttel and Garlstedt . The central part with the municipalities of Uthlede and Drifsethe went over to the Wesermarsch region Osterstade , the core of which was the municipality of Sandstedt in the west of the integrated municipality. The western border of the integrated community was the Weser .

The small tributary of the Weser, Drepte, flowed through the central municipality in a south-north direction and finally flows along the border with the municipality of Loxstedt to the Weser, into which it flows at Dreptersiel.

structure

The joint congregation had the following member congregations:

  1. Bramstedt (Low German Braamst )
  2. Driftsethe (Low German Driftseth )
  3. Hagen im Bremischen (Low German Hagen im Bremischen )
  4. Sandstedt (Low German Sands )
  5. Uthlede (Low German Uthlee )
  6. Wulsbüttel (Low German Wolsbuddel )

Neighboring communities

The joint municipality of Hagen bordered the municipality of Schwanewede in the southwest and the town of Osterholz-Scharmbeck in the Osterholz district in the southeast . In the southeast, the communities of Lübberstedt and Axstedt joined the combined community of Hambergen , which is also in the Osterholz district. The municipality of Beverstedt was in the northeast . Like the unitary community of Loxstedt, which adjoins in the north, this belongs to the district of Cuxhaven. On the opposite side of the Weser, the municipality of Stadland lay to the northwest and the city of Brake to the southwest , both of which are part of the Wesermarsch district . The city of Brake, however, had no common border with the integrated municipality of Hagen, since the Weser island Harriersand , which lies in between, belonged to the municipality of Schwanewede. There was therefore only one "four-community corner" (Schwanewede, Brake, Stadland and Sandstedt) in the middle of the Weser.

history

Surname

The name or the suffix Hagen is often found in Lower Saxony , Westphalia and the Mecklenburg areas populated by them . Hag is derived from the Germanic haga or hagaz and means fencing or enclosure . It also means protection as in being cared for and comfortable . A hag was a piece of land enclosed by hedges. The Middle Low German word component -ha (a) g (en) in field or place names indicates such a type of settlement.

History of the integrated municipality of Hagen

The integrated municipality of Hagen came into being on January 1, 1970 and initially comprised the 16 municipalities of Albstedt , Axstedt , Bramstedt, Dorfhagen , Driftsethe, Hagen im Bremischen, Harrendorf , Heine , Hoope , Kassebruch , Lehnstedt , Lohe , Sandstedt, Uthlede, Wittstedt and Wulsbüttel.

According to § 7 of the law on the restructuring of the municipalities in the Bremervörde area of ​​June 13, 1973 (Nds. GVBl. P. 183), the following adjustments were made on March 1, 1974:

  • the community Wurthfleth was incorporated into the community Sandstedt, which had previously given land west of the Weser to the communities Rodenkirchen, Ovelgönne and Schwanewede and received land from the city of Brake (Unterweser) east of the Weser
  • the communities Dorfhagen and Kassebruch were incorporated into the community Hagen in Bremen
  • the communities Albstedt, Heine, Hoope, Lehnstedt and Wulsbüttel were merged into one community Wulsbüttel
  • the communities Bramstedt, Harrendorf, Lohe bei Bramstedt and Wittstedt were merged into one community Bramstedt

In June 2013 it was decided to dissolve the joint municipality of Hagen on January 1, 2014 and to form a new municipality with the name Hagen in Bremen from its area .

There is a connection to long-distance traffic through the A 27 Walsrode –Bremen – Bremerhaven– Cuxhaven motorway , which also crosses the municipality in a north-south direction. The Weser ferry Sandstedt-Brake is also of great importance for regional traffic.
