Burglesum from above

Burglesum ( Low German Borgleessem ) is a district of Bremen within the northern district .

Geography and districts

Geography of the district

In the northeast, the district through which the Lesum flows is bordered by the Lower Saxony municipality of Ritterhude , in the northwest by the Lower Saxony municipality of Schwanewede , in the west by the Vegesack district and in the south (from west to east) by the districts of Häfen , Gröpelingen and Blockland .

The district is characterized by abruptly changing landscapes. The districts south of the Lesum - Burg-Grambke and Werderland - are located in a marshland with a height of 1 to  m above sea level. NHN , parts of Burg-Grambkes (especially the more densely built-up areas) but on a drifting sand dune, which is up to a height of m above sea level. NHN rises. The districts north of the Lesum - St. Magnus, Lesum and Burgdamm - are part of Bremen Switzerland . The sharp southern edge of the Wesermünder Geest runs here . The 32.5  m above sea level NHN, the highest natural elevation in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, is located on the Geest in the Friedehorstpark in the St. Magnus district . The Geestrand along the Lesum in the course of the Admiral-Brommy-Weg shows an impressive difference in altitude for flat land: the 20-meter height line is in places less than 150 m away from the level of the marsh. The street names Auf dem Hohen Ufer and Barg up have their origin here.

The Geestrücken itself also has considerable structures in the district. The Geestbach Ihle flows in a narrow valley, the base of which is about 10 m below the level of the flanking areas. Lesum, Burgdamm and Burg-Grambke lie above the Lesum salt dome . Several sinkholes , which arose as a result of broken cavities in the gypsum dome of the salt dome, are still visible today through circular depressions in the landscape. The extent of these sinkholes is exemplified by the Ruschdahlmoor : Here, a raised bog has arisen in a sinkhole to which the nutrient-poor rainwater from the surrounding area flowed . The depression measures about 200 m in an east-west direction. Its eastern flank rises steeply - sometimes over a distance of less than 25 m - by 10 m. In the Ruschdahlmoor 21 m thick layers of peat were discovered by drilling. It can therefore be assumed that the total depth of the sinkhole is about 30 m.

The district of Burglesum is divided into the districts of Burg-Grambke, Werderland, Burgdamm, Lesum and St. Magnus:

Burg-Grambke

Grambker village church

Area: 4.57 km², 6696 inhabitants

The district is located south of the Lesum between the Blockland and the Werderland . It also has typical village structures and is often called the “village within the city”. The Grambker Church was built in the Baroque style in 1722 and a neo-Gothic tower was added in 1864 . The large school center Alwin-Lonke-Straße is located in the district .

In Burg-Grambke there are the Grambker See , the Grambker Feldmarksee , the Sportparksee Grambke and the Burger See, which is divided into two by the Bremen – Bremerhaven railway line .

The Feldmarksee is surrounded by birch , ash and a natural reed belt . The Sportparksee Grambke, excavated in 2002, is much larger and measures around 1.2 km in length. Due to its good water quality, it is suitable for swimming and has been provided with appropriate facilities, such as. B. a DLRG station. In contrast to the Feldmarksee, it is much quieter and more secluded.

Burg-Grambke borders on the Bremen industrial park, in which, among other things, Arcelor Bremen (formerly Klöckner-Hütte or Stahlwerke Bremen) is located. The remaining parts of the industrial area were built on land that had belonged to the steelworks as reserve area for many years, but was not used.

Werderland

Mittelbüren house in the park of the Focke Museum

Area: 10.94 km², 393 inhabitants

The Werderland district, located between the rivers Lesum and Weser, consists of an open, tree-poor marshland . The village of Lesumbrok stretches along the Lesum , further south on the Weser the village of Niederbüren and the rest of the village of Mittelbüren, which was largely abandoned in the 1950s as part of the industrial settlement in Werderland . A farmhouse from the 16th century that was dismantled there was rebuilt in the original in the park of the Focke Museum in Bremen-Schwachhausen and can be visited. The area around the Moorless Church, built in the neo-Gothic style in 1846/47 (= Low German for “motherless”, i.e. single church), with a ship landing stage, has been preserved from Mittelbüren .

The eastern part of Werderland was spun off from the district in the 1950s with the construction of the Klöckner-Werke, now ArcelorMittal Bremen GmbH, and added to the ports district as the industrial ports district. In 1996, the central Werderland was designated as a nature reserve. The Schönebecker Sand , the peninsula between Weser and Lesum with a former bathing establishment, is also under nature protection . With Vegesack the Werder country is through the Lesum barrage connected, built 1971-1974 for flood protection.

Castle dam

Area: 4.17 km², 10,943 inhabitants

The municipality of Burgdamm was created in 1860 from the municipalities of Marßel, Burgdamm and Vorburgdamm. Burgdamm was incorporated into the municipality of Lesum on June 1, 1936 and came to the city of Bremen as part of Lesum in 1939. Today the district essentially consists of two quarters that are separated by the A 27 :

Between the A 27 and the Bremerhaven Heerstraße to the west, including both sides of the Stader Landstraße, lies an area on the Geest that is predominantly characterized by older buildings. The railway line to Bremerhaven runs south of it, below the Geest edge. Agricultural grassland predominates in the area of ​​the marshland. There is an industrial park on both sides of the 1388-built Steindamm, which led from the castle to Marßel. Bremen-Burg station is to the west of it.

East of the A 27 is the Marßeler Feld , or Marßel ​​for short. In the 1960s, as part of social housing, a large housing estate corresponding to the times was built for around 6,000 inhabitants today. The district sports facility is located at Pellenspark in Marßel . The district borders on Ritterhude and Ritterhuder Switzerland with the Hamme as the source of the Lesum, which forms the southern border of the district.

Lesum

St. Martini Church in Bremen-Lesum, view from Lesumhafen

Area: 3.37 km², 9097 inhabitants

Lesum is also called Lesmona in Latin. Lesum is the historical and cultural center; the local office is located here.

The St. Martini Church located on a hill in the center of the old Lesum cemetery , surrounded by tombstones from the 17th to 19th centuries, is worth seeing . The Romanesque tower from around 1200 has been preserved from the original building . The nave was redesigned as a baroque hall in 1778/1779.

St. Magnus

St. Magni Church in St. Magnus

Area: 2.86 km², 5878 inhabitants

St. Magnus was an independent municipality until its incorporation into the municipality of Lesum on June 1, 1936 and came to the city of Bremen as part of Lesum in 1939. Previously, in 1908, the two communities Friedrichsdorf and Neu Schönebeck had been incorporated into the community of St. Magnus.

St. Magnus is now a green and quiet residential area on the Lesum.

The summer cultural festival in Lesmona has been taking place in the 65-hectare Knoops Park since 1994 , with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen giving open-air concerts. The park is named after the factory owner Baron Ludwig Knoop , the former owner of the site. The part of the park, which adjoins the Lesum river, with the listed classicist house Lesmona, is the actual setting for the main plot of the autobiographical novel Summer in Lesmona by Marga Berck , which was filmed with Katja Riemann .

In Friedehorstpark (also called Lehnhofpark), which takes up an area of ​​approx. 9  hectares , is the 32.5  m above sea level. NHN highest natural elevation in the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen.

The main church of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of St. Magni is located in St. Magnus , which belongs to the Bremen Evangelical Church and, in addition to the St. Magnus district, also includes the Schönebeck district, which belongs to the Vegesack district, and parts of the Schwanewede community in Lower Saxony . The modern, simple church building from 1967 was placed under monument protection in the mid-1990s.

history

The names

  • Lesum was called 860 Liastmona , and 1062 Liestmunde , 1083 Liesmunde and around 1187 also Lesmona . That means: located at the mouth of the Lieste , i.e. the Lesum .
  • Lesumbrok was 1243 Lesmundbroke , 1311 Lesmerboke and 1385 Lesmunderbroke . It was the quarry land colonized from Lesum, i.e. a marshland . Here is the oldest Lower Saxony house in Bremen, the Spiegelhof from 1667.
  • The castle was called Borch in 1277 and Borgh in 1371 . The location of the first castle is not known. In the middle of the 14th century, the archbishop and town built a new castle together. In 1350, the Archbishop provided Gohe Blockland and Werderland, which had previously been subordinate to the Archdiocese, for their maintenance.
  • Burgdamm ( Borchdamm upen damm ) was the dam built in 1388 north of the Lesum from the Geestrand to the bridge, still marked today by the Steindamm street .
  • Grambke was called Grambeke around 1200 (1222: Grambecke ) and was the name of a family of ministers who had their seat here.
  • Grambkermoor was mentioned as More in 1281 and the inhabitants were de bur thon More .
  • St. Magnus is derived from the medieval chapel of St. Magnus (now St. Magni). There is no evidence of which Saint Magnus gave the chapel its name.
  • Werderland is generally a stretch of land between a river and standing water. Werderland used to be an island that was formed by an arm of the Weser. The name has been handed down since the 14th century.

  • Dunge was 1309 Dunck and 1334 Dungen called.

Prehistory and early history

The landscape was shaped by several ice ages of the Pleistocene and the warm periods in between. The ice ages completely redesigned the landscape and also influenced the course of the Weser and Lesum rivers . The retreating ice ages opened the way for the glacial valley of the Weser to the north again. The glacial valley also shaped the Burglesum landscape.

Around 300-200 BC BC took place - evidenced by finds - the settlement by the Germanic Chauken . Around 350 AD the Chaukenstaat fell into disrepair and became part of the Saxon tribal association (from the 16th century Lower Saxony ). Excavation finds from 1992 in Grambke ( Oslebshauser Heerstraße / Autobahn A 281 ) show mine houses and weaving houses from the Saxon period around 500.

Around 550 the Saxons invaded England from this area as well . Frisians also increasingly settled in this area. During excavations in the 1990s on Grambker Dorfstrasse, Friesian ceramics from 700 to 900 and a well from 850 were found.

From the Middle Ages to 1600

First mentions

The first documentary mentions were of Lesum around 860, of Grambke in 1185, of Lesumbrok in 1201, of the castle on the Lesum in 1277, of Grambkermoor as More in 1281, of Werderland in the 14th century, of St. Magnus in the middle of the 14th century and von Burgdamm ( dam ) 1388. The estates Groß- and Kleindunge were first mentioned in 1139.

Lesum's beginnings

  • Lesum was first mentioned around 860. It was an imperial fiefdom, to which 700 Hufen belonged along the Weser to around Cuxhaven and in the Land of Hadeln. Counts from the Billunger family were enfeoffed with Lesum , most recently Count Liudger, who died in 1011. His widow, Saint Emma of Lesum , kept Lesum as a widow's fief.
  • After her death in 1038, Lesum reverted to the kingdom and was initially used to support the respective queen.
  • In 1062 King Heinrich IV gave the royal court Lesum (Liestmunde) with the 700 hooves to the Archbishop of Bremen Adalbert . Adalbert built a chapel and dedicated it to Saint Magnus.
  • Lesum was an independent parish . The church of St. Martini was first mentioned in 1235, but it is certainly older. From 1235 it belonged to the Cistercians . From the 14th century it belonged to the Bremen cathedral chapter . In 1778 the nave was torn down and rebuilt as a baroque hall building. Only the tower from the Middle Ages remained.

The Goh Werderland

  • The Werderland formed a Goh that reached from Utbremen to Burg, led by "Gohgräfen" as judges, who were formerly archbishop ministers from Gröpelingen, among others. In the 15th century, the Bremen council was responsible. The district court met at the church in Burg. In 1741 the northern part of Werderland fell to the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (later Hanover). In 1803 the Goh came to Bremen due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss and existed until 1811. The Goh included the villages of Burg, Burgdamm, Grambke, Grambkermoor, Lesumbrok and Dunge.
  • At the Lesumübergang there was a castle (Borch) in the 13th century, around which the village of Burg developed. The Church of St. Nicholas was founded here in the 13th century.
  • In 1350 a bridge was built over the Lesum and in 1388 a dam was built that opened up the Lesum Geest; Burgdamm began to develop as a village here.
  • The village of Grambke belonged to the ore monastery of Bremen and in the 15th century to the Goh Werderland.
  • The village of Gramkermoor was also in the Goh Werderland. It remained an independent municipality until 1850.
  • The village of Lesumbrok was not built until the dyke was built in the 13th century, when it was possible to settle on the marshland. Until 1871 it was an independent municipality.
  • The village of Dunge initially consisted only of two estates, small and large dungeons, and a farm. In the 14th century, the goods were in civil or ministerial ownership. Gut Großdunge was acquired by Syndikus Johann Camp in the 17th century and by the Iken family around 1807. Dunge was an independent municipality until 1851 when it came to Grambke. Großdunge belonged to the parish of Lesum and from 1823 to Grambke, and Kleindunge to the parish of Burg.

St. Magnus

In the Johan Rode Bok from around 1500, St. Magnus is listed among the destroyed castles of the Archbishopric of Bremen. The castle was presumably located on the Kapellenberg next to the farmyard, which today is reminiscent of Meierhofstrasse and Gut Weilen. This could have been the widow's residence of Emma von Lesum . In the 14th century the goods came to the cathedral chapter and in the 17th century to the Lords of Schönebeck. In the middle of the 14th century the Chapel of St. Magnus was created through the Lesum Church, the church patronage changed many times ( Lilienthal monastery , cathedral, St. Ansgarii). It fell into disrepair after the Reformation and was later completely eliminated.
