history

Place name

There are two possible explanations for the name Uthlede:

  1. The syllable - lede (also - lidi or - lyd ) means in Low German like Lieth as hill, mountain range. Utlidi is increased to the ridge of limited by the Klipberg the edge of the march. The syllable uth ( Otto ) was an old Saxon male name or Uta, a female given name. Henrikus von Uthlede was named Henrikus de Lyd in 1199.
  2. Lehnstedt (the neighboring town) is probably the oldest settlement in the area. The place name could also mean that Uthlede was settled from there, that is, that the Uthleder people “ut ledingstedt” were from Lehnstedt.

Local history

The place was first mentioned in a document as utlidi 1110. A noble family is resident from 1173, but from 1269 this can no longer be proven. The Bremen Archbishop Hartwig II came from him . In 1269 the first priest in the community is also mentioned.

The first church is said to have been built between the first mention of 1110 and 1269, the mention of the priest Olderus von Uthlede. One church was known as the previous building from the 17th century. In 1753 the wooden tower burned down and was rebuilt. In 1862 the church burned down, only the new wooden tower remained. The existing St. Nicolai Church was then built from 1862 to 1864.

Around 1804 there was a timber merchant Gerd Mahlstedt in the village, who had the wood belonging to his fir wood trade “floated down from the Harz and from Celle to the water”, “which was then stored on the outer dyke on the Weser and used for our buildings by oxen is seduced ”.

With the invention of artificial fertilizers in 1840, agriculture's need for larger arable land increased. A coupling was rejected in a meeting on June 14, 1890. The municipal committee also refused the offer of the royal district office of November 4, 1895 for a loan for the expansion of the country roads and the coupling. It was not until 1911 that the dirt roads to Hagen and Lehnstedt were turned into roads and it was decided to carry out the coupling.

In 1909 the Farge-Wulsdorf small railway was built. 17 neighboring communities raised the construction costs of 300,000 marks, for Uthlede that was 17,000 marks.

In Uthlede there was a Jewish synagogue and poor community . In 1771 a baptized Jew and a woman from Uthlede were married. In 1842, the head of the synagogue communities in Uthlede, Hinnebeck, Wersabe , Meyenburg and Schwanewede applied for synagogue regulations . Deceased Jews were buried in the Jewish cemetery Am Dörenacker in Hagen. “The last Jewish woman was 74-year-old Bertha Herzberg to be buried there on March 21, 1936.” The last Jewish woman, 88-year-old Rieke Baar, was picked up by “two men in black leather coats”.

At the end of the Second World War, the people of Uthlede witnessed the death march from Farge to Sandbostel . Emaciated people were driven from the Farge concentration camp to Stalag XB. "Any help with bread and water was made against the protests of the guards of women and children," says the Uthleder Chronicle.

On January 1, 2014, the joint community of Hagen and its member communities were dissolved and the new community of Hagen in Bremen was established.

Rural clock making

From 1750 to 1840 Uthlede was a "stronghold of rural clock making". Several generations of Uthlede watchmaking families made the place world famous. 17 families are listed in the Uthleder Chronicle. They faced competition from watch factories , which began to produce watches much cheaper in the mid-19th century. The last watchmaker family moved to Bremen-Aumund in 1952 . But it had nothing to do with the Klockenbauern from earlier.
