history

prehistory

The village was mentioned as " villa Slutria " as early as 860 . Around 1200 it became Sluttere and around 1370 Schlutter received its current name.

Schlutter Castle

Schlutter Castle was built by Archbishop Gerhard I of Bremen in 1213 at the latest, presumably in the swampy terrain on the Delme. He enfeoffed the castle with local ministerials , the noblemen of Schlutter. The fief later went to Count Heinrich III. from Oldenburg-Wildeshausen. After the fortress was destroyed by farmers from Stedingen in 1230 , it was rebuilt in the same place by Bremen's archbishop, now Gerhard II. At the turn of the year 1233/34, however, Schlutter Castle was destroyed again by farmers from Stedingen. A new reconstruction did not take place. Instead, a moated castle was built at the Delmenhorst location.

Military area

Since Delmenhorst wanted to increase its own economic power, a garrison contract was concluded between Delmenhorst and the Reich Treasury on November 2, 1934 . This agreement provides that for the product to be laid infantry - battalion must be built by the year 1938 shooting ranges, ammunition bunkers, service / residential building and a stall / Waschküchen- and garage building. Approx. 8 hectares west of the forest in the north of Schlutter were made available for these projects.

After the end of the Second World War , the camps and ammunition bunkers were used as accommodation for refugees from Silesia (including from Bunzlau , Strehlen and Friedrichstein ). In 1950/51 they had to leave the accommodation again because British forces wanted to store their ammunition in Schlutter. Parts of the military facility were handed over by the British armed forces to the Federal Property Office in Oldenburg at the end of 1958. The rest followed until December 1964. Until the end of 1975, the now 14 hectare military area served as an ammunition defeat for the Bundeswehr . In the six years that followed, the former service and residential building was rarely used by troops exercising and fell victim to the weather .

On February 1, 1982, the Catholic parish of Allerheiligen signed a license agreement with the city of Delmenhorst and, after the renovation of the main building, set up a meeting and leisure center under the name Franziskushof Foundation . The former stable / laundry room and garage building will be demolished on July 1st, 1988 and rebuilt as a chapel . The consecration took place on October 16, 1988.

The shooting range is used today by the Delmenhorst archery club .
