politics

City council and mayor

At the municipal level, the village of Sandstedt is represented by the Hagen municipality in Bremen.

The mayor of Sandstedt is Falko Wahls-Seedorff ( CDU ). The term of office runs from 2016 to 2021.

coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms of Sandstedt comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Albert de Badrihaye , who designed around 80 coats of arms in the district of Cuxhaven.

Sandstedt coat of arms
 Blazon : " Split , front in blue one to the right of turned, standing gold - reinforced , red -bezungter, golden nimbierter silver John Adler , back in silver a floating, curved green lime tree branch over a ernie derten blue wavy bar ."
Foundation of the coat of arms: The Johannes eagle commemorates the patron saint of the Sandstedt Church, which was founded as a chapel in the 11th century . The linden branch is borrowed from the coat of arms of the Junker family "Witmar", who used to live in the village , and the wavy bar points to the Weser .

Culture and sights

Buildings

  • The core of the St. Johannis Church in Sandstedt was built around 1420, but was partially demolished at the beginning of the 17th century and rebuilt from the old bricks and sandstone blocks in 1609–1613. The frescoes inside are from the 15th century. The characteristic rotation of the spire is due to a design flaw.
  • Hermann-Allmers-Heim in Rechtenfleth
  • Historic overhead fire Sandstedt : It was built during a re-firing of the Weser in 1896 and 1898. Numerous largely standardized lighthouses were set up between Bremen and Bremerhaven . The reason for this was a correction of the course of the Weser between 1887 and 1895. It made it possible for larger ships to call at Bremen again. A further correction of the alignment of the Weser fairway was carried out from 1973 to 1979 and made it necessary for the fire to be replaced by a new fire carrier in 1981. After the renovation of the structure, the historic, now listed upper fire on the ferry feeder (high-speed ferry Brake – Sandstedt) became the property of the municipality of Sandstedt (today the municipality of Hagen in Bremen).
  • New headlight Sandstedt
  • The listed garden cemetery in Rechtenfleth with the mausoleum of the poet Johann Hermann Joppert (1828–1878) in the form of a neo-Gothic chapel and four other large family tombs, including that of Hermann Allmers.
