Location of stick grass in Lower Saxony

Stickgras has been part of the city of Delmenhorst in Lower Saxony since it was incorporated in 1933 . Previously, the place was part of the Hasbergen community .

history

The first traces of human presence in the area of ​​stick grass date back to the 4th century AD. From this period dates a decorative clasp made of bronze , which was found in Stickgras. For centuries there was wasteland in the form of extensive heather and moorland in the area of ​​today's district. Only slowly was it possible to reclaim these areas. At first, the area was part of the vulgarity , that is, in collective ownership of the farmers of Iprump. When there was no longer any available space within the peasantry , the settlement of stick grass began, the name of which goes back to the swamp plant that used to be abundant here .

In 1715 a settlement "on the stick grass" or "on the heath" is mentioned for the first time. At this point in time the colony had four farms , which are houses with some real estate whose lands were expulsions from the meanness. In addition, there were a few brink seats whose settlement areas were on inferior soil. The Brinksitzers did not count as farmers and had no share in the better arable land, the so-called Eschland. The third group of buildings were a few wage houses , i.e. residential buildings for servants.

Many of these settlers practiced cork cutting part- time at home . In 1831 the farmer's son Hinrich Tönnjes bought a brinkitzerei for 450 Reichstaler in stickgras, in which he set up a distribution and collection point for the products of the cork cutters in addition to the agriculture . This became the starting point for the later cork factory, which became one of the leading companies in the region, which developed into the center of north-west German cork cutting.

The place benefited little from it. By the middle of the 19th century, the number of residents had only risen to 500, who lived on small rural areas and earned their living as craftsmen or workers. When industrialization began in neighboring Delmenhorst in 1871 with the settlement of large companies such as Nordwolle , the population of stick grass began to grow faster. The increasing focus on the neighboring town in 1933 meant that the stick grass was moved from Hasbergen to Delmenhorst. The city had operated the annex for a long time in order to meet its chronic shortage of space and to be able to expand for the construction of further factories and the construction of apartments.

Despite industrialization, the region retained a more rural character until World War II. Only then were new streets built with one and two-family houses, which gradually filled up the formerly agricultural areas. Today the place is mainly urban.
