history

Early history and the Middle Ages

Between Wremen and Mulsum , the Feddersen Wierde existed in early history , a Wurtendorf in the maritime march . The Saxon settlement originally located on an island was from the 1st century BC. . BC to the 5th century inhabited. The mounds of individual farms grew over time into a four over  hectares together large and four meters high Dorfwurt. This was completely uncovered from 1954 to 1963 in a large-scale archaeological excavation by the "Lower Saxony State Institute for Marsh and Wurten Research" in Wilhelmshaven (today's Lower Saxony Institute for Historical Coastal Research ).

In Wremen, the counselors and judges of the country recorded sausages as early as the 14th century. The first document dates from 1304, the name of a church village from 1312.

The Wremer Tief, an old, small port for barges and fishing vessels, is a former starting point for a rich ship traffic up the Weser.

Wremen owns the oldest church in the state of Wursten, a fortified church from around 1200. In their churchyard, the farmers suffered their final defeat in 1557 in their hopeless fight for freedom against the Archbishop of Bremen, Christoph von Braunschweig-Lüneburg , after they had been defeated in 1517 in the Battle of the Wremer Deep , in which Tjede Peckes also took part, had been beaten.

Howitzer battery

From October 1905, the Imperial Navy built a howitzer battery in Wremen with four 28 cm guns to protect the mouth of the Weser. The battery, which should prevent enemy ships from entering, was in October 1906 with soldiers of the III. Sailor artillery department from Lehe occupied. On June 15, 1907, the official ceremony for the entry of the soldiers took place in Wremen.

However, enemy ships were never shot at from there. The howitzer battery remained undamaged from damage until it was blown up in 1946. The barracks, which have been in good condition to this day, served as refugee accommodation in the post-war period and as privately used living space in the present.

 Blazon : " Split , front in silver a half- black , red reinforced eagle at the gap, in the back by a silver wave beams divided by blue over green , the top of a silver blue anchor ."
