The field name Biggenacker commemorates the attack by Count Gerd von Oldenburg on the villages of Bagband and Strackholt.
Count Gerd the brave once ruled over Oldenburg. He would have liked to own a piece of East Friesland. In 1473 he came across the moor with a warlike band. But he did not succeed in taking Uplengen Castle, so he moved further into the moor to Strackholt. Gerd ordered his soldiers to plunder the village. Only the church should remain untouched.
