Tips from the Community

DakenH
August 29, 2025, Aller River and Hademstorf Oil Pump

Between 1941 and 1970, oil was produced in Hademstorf, a total of around 160,000 tons. The oil lay at a depth of about 1,000 meters and was pumped to the surface using horsehead pumps. During World War II, production rose rapidly from a few hundred tons to over 10,000 tons per year. After the war, Vacuum-Oil AG organized transport, initially via the Aller River, and later by rail. The operation brought many workers to the village and left a strong mark on the community. Today, only the preserved horsehead pumps, the oil bridge, and the workers' houses on the Hansa Dam remain as reminders of this era.

Moving the paddleboat is rather difficult at low water levels, but not impossible. The lock appears to be very well-maintained, unlike the weir...

At the site of the former "Hansa" oil field near Hademstorf in the Allermarsch region, approximately 160,000 tons of crude oil were produced between 1941 and 1970. Today, two restored horsehead pumps, installed on the foundations of the "Hansa 6" and "Hansa 9" production sites, commemorate this technical history. The pumps were used to bring oil to the surface from depths of up to 1,350 meters. Together with the historic oil bridge, they represent significant evidence of the regional oil boom—well-documented by the Aller-Leine Valley Navigator and open to the public as a technical monument.

The old needle weir with a lock is located near Hademstorf. At one point (in the upper water of the lock) you can still clearly see the ramps for the old ferry; this was right next to it for a long time and we were even ferried across on it in the 80s. Over the Hansa Dam and the old oil bridge you pass 2 horse-head pumps (one is somewhat hidden at the level of the visible pump in a path about 200 m away).

The lock was built in 1914 to secure the fairway for the extensive shipping that supplied coal and fodder to the villages and towns upstream.
