    Tips

    February 7, 2023

    BOCKHORNERFELD - Diedrich Loers from Bockhornerfeld has always been interested in local history. And the Bockhorner Moor has always attracted special attention. Loers looks back: "Today's Bockhorner Moor was also called 'dat grode Jührdener Moor' by ancestors. It was only accessible on small isolated paths. There was water, mud and swamp everywhere.”

    Nevertheless, people would have tried to explore the moor early on. Evidence is a bog body that was found near Reindersdamm in the 1930s and, according to Diedrich Loers, "lay there for over 1000 years". When peat was dug later, trees were discovered, all of which lay with their crowns from north to south - an indication of the formation of the moor during the Ice Age.
