Waves in the municipality of Beverstedt
|
Wellen ( Low German waves ) is a village in the unified municipality Beverstedt in the Lower Saxony district of Cuxhaven .
geography
The place south of the river Lune is in the south of the district of Cuxhaven on the state road 128 between Beverstedt and Holste -Oldendorf ( joint municipality of Hambergen in the district of Osterholz ).
history
In the past, Wellen belonged to the Börde Beverstedt and to the aristocratic court in Beverstedt. The reorganization of the administrative structures during the French period that lasted several years then ensured that Wellen was administered by the Beverstedt municipality in the Beverstedt canton of the same name ( Bremerlehe arrondissement ). Later waves lay in Hanover's office Beverstedt (1822-1859), Amt Lehe (1859-1885), Geestemünde district (1885-1932), Wesermünde district (1932-1977) and Cuxhaven district, respectively. The village achieved communal independence in 1840 with the formation of the rural community of Wellen. The district of the same name was formed in 1876. In 1974 the village lost its political independence again and became a district of the borough Beverstedt in the Samtgemeinde Beverstedt . On November 1, 2011, Wellen became a place within the meaning of the Lower Saxony Municipal Constitutional Act in the newly formed unified municipality of Beverstedt.
The village of Wellen has a volunteer fire brigade, a kindergarten and a sports club. The landscape is shaped to a large extent by forests, moors and agricultural areas.

coat of arms
The design of the municipal coat of arms of Wellen comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Albert de Badrihaye , who designed around 80 coats of arms in the district of Cuxhaven.
Blazon : "In green above a silver wavy bar in the base of the shield, an upright silver stone ax with a golden handle, the edge turned to the right , surrounded in a semicircle by nine silless silver stone axes, the edge turned outwards." | |
Justification for the coat of arms: The stone axes remind us that in 1858, nine stone axes were found in the Drillmoor by Hinrich Bullwinkel, a resident of Wellen , which are kept in the Lower Saxony State Museum in Hanover . The wave bar indicates the lune . |
