ラングホルター・メーアとラウダー・メーアは、ニーダーザクセン州北西部のレーア郡にある景観保護地域です。

ヴェストラーウダーフェーンの福音ルーテル派ホフヌング教会は1848年に献堂されましたが、当初は塔がありませんでした。塔は1886年に完成しました。高さ52メートルで、オストフリースラントで最も高い教会の塔です。教会には商船「ホフヌング」の模型が飾られています。これは、共同体の航海とのつながりを思い起こさせるものです。

Cool, such a big ship on the small canal. It's beautiful to look at, even from the outside.

Did you know that a sufficient water level was essential for the once busy shipping traffic on the fen canals? Therefore, locks, also called "Verlaate," were built. These prevented the tides from influencing the inner canal system and ensured that ships always had sufficient water under their keels. Ostrhauderfehn once had two important locks: one at the end of the main fen canal near the former "Verlaatshus" (a former barn) and another at the 1st South Bay, which maintained the water level in the upper fen area. However, in the 1950s, both locks were removed and replaced with brick weirs. In 1990, a historic box lock was rebuilt at the end of the main fen canal as part of the "Fehn Program." This modern lock system is equipped with double flood and ebb gates and can accommodate ships and pleasure craft up to 55 meters long and 5.4 meters wide. Thanks to this innovation, Ostrhauderfehn once again has a direct connection to East Frisia's extensive inland waterway network! This lock is often mistakenly called the Holterfehn Lock. This lock is also located directly on the tour route and is easily accessible. Several benches are available, inviting you to listen to the sound of the water.

For centuries, floods and flood disasters have repeatedly occurred in the river valleys, especially in spring and autumn. Storm surges pushed enormous volumes of water from the North Sea into the rivers, often resulting in flooding lasting weeks. The damage to agriculture was enormous. Until the first half of the last century, attempts to control the water overload with wind-dependent water pumping mills were unsuccessful. Only the construction of the Leda Barrage near Leer in 1954 and the associated reorganization of drainage in the Leda-Jümme area brought a sustainable solution. Today, modern pumping stations with powerful, electronically controlled pumps ensure a constant water level in the lowland areas, some of which lie below sea level.
