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.

I was just driving by, but there were lots of anglers around. Very nice place.

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).

Every change of use for nature makes sense... create habitats instead of reducing them... keep it up!

Even on the most beautiful tour you sometimes have to take a break... a bench invites you to take a short rest and have a snack.
