Heidjer Bridge Year of construction of the first bridge: 1984 Replacement construction in: 2023 Total span: 74.4 m The "Heidjer Bridge" is part of the road connection between the Zevener Sonnenkamp and the town of Offensen. It spans the Oste lowland in the area of a historic ford at the same location. The first permanent bridge connection at this location was built in 1984, the so-called "Heidjer Bridge". Due to the poor structural condition and the first bridge structure, the municipality of Heeslingen and the city of Zeven built a joint replacement construction in 2023. For this purpose, they received grants to promote integrated rural development (ZILE) from the Lower Saxony Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection.

The marl was hand made with spades excavated to a depth of around 8 m, loaded onto dump trucks and pulled out of the pit by horses on rails. Further transport to the surrounding area and further afield took place Horse-drawn carts and, after the railway was completed in 1908, also with this one. The significant ones Amounts of groundwater were extracted using a pump driven by a locomotive Pit promoted With the beginning of the First World War, marl mining was stopped in 1914, Marl was mined again in the years 1930 - 1933, but now again mainly only for own needs. Since then, the pit has developed into an idyllic pond. 'The tusk of a woolly mammoth was found in the marl pit, about lived here for 100,000 years. Therefore, the municipal coat of arms shows a mammoth and a Spade, which can be seen as a symbol of marl digging
