The word Stadland

The term " Urban land " is to be arisen when, after the battle of Altenesch Stedinger from the area of the south-east are Hunte fled north of the Hunte in the 13th century still free land of the Frisians. This would also explain the Latin name for the Urban land ( " Terra Stedingorum Rustringie "). This term is between Frisian (more precisely: rüstringischen ) and Saxon distinction " Stedingern ".

The intention to distinguish between rüstringischen and non- rüstringischen " Stedingern " was not recognized by all researchers as such. This leads to some Stedingen regarded as part Rüstringens. From non Latin speaking natives but always Stedingen and Urban land were considered, although neighboring but separate landscapes.

Since, Urban land 'is a part of the Weser march on the left bank and the march on the right bank of the Weser, Easter Stade ' is, is obvious both names (and possibly - with an umlaut - also Stedingen ') independently of any historical political entanglements on the word, shore ' for banks due.

Geography

Location

The municipality Urban land covers in large part with the same historic landscape. She shares today with Butjadingen a peninsula between Lower Weser and Jade Bay and is one of the flattest part of Germany with heights between 1.2 and 0.8 meters below sea level over. During the marshland was very deep from time immemorial, the level of high- Moore was in the southwest of Stadlands up to their cultivation up to four meters higher than now, so that they were not flooded during dike breaches. The settlements were on mounds preferably before the construction of sufficiently high dikes.

Landscape History

As a geographically self-contained unit, the Urban land was perceived in the early modern period, when it was limited by ancestor and Heete in the north and the Lockfleth the west and south, two arms of the then existing Weser Delta. At that time the Urban land was narrower than today and withdrew south to the present city of Brake down.

The Weser Delta estuary of the Jade Bay were there from the early 14th to the early 16th century. The first arm between the Weser and Jade was before the end of the 1320 years the ancestor whose history suggests an emergence of a Weser breakthrough. This Butjadingen was separated from the Urban land. Since the flood of 1334 Clemens chain of the ancestor from the Heete that resulted in Atens into the Weser. A little north of Elsfleth broke 1367 Weserdeich in two places. For decades widened in Linebrok the old Weser inflow Liene to a ramified Weser Bay to the west and joined flood over to the Jade. When Marcellus south of 1362 was the ancestor of a long and wide slopes of Jade Bay, the Lockfleth. 1384 broke north of the village Harrien the Weser dyke and the so-called Harrier Brake won following the Lockfleth. For example, the Urban land became a long, narrow island between the Weser and Lockfleth. Situated between Lockfleth and the Frisian bellows called southern part of the Jade Bay today Schweier Moor was still sparsely populated. Hauptmündungsarm the Weser was also and during the time of the Weser River deltas always the lower Weser. After the conquest of the area by the Oldenburg Count John V. was soon begun abzudeichen the estuaries. Already in 1515 the Lockfleth was interrupted by dykes in the newly founded Ovelgönne, but the draining of the water took more than a hundred years.

Today, the whole Urban land is drained by a network of canals and ditches, whose water level is regulated by pumping stations on the dikes of the Lower Weser and Jade Bay. The limit of their catchment areas is blurred here because of the diffuse, yet also influenced by pumping stations, water movements in many areas.
