Goh Werderland

Werderland lies north of the Weser River, downstream from the core of Bremen. It formed a Goh, which fell under Bremen jurisdiction in the 15th century.

 

In 1741, sovereignty over several villages in the north of the Goh was transferred to the Electorate of Hannover (while remaining under Bremen administration) To recognize that, I split Goh Werderand into two quasi-Vogteien and assign those remaining in Bremen to Werderland Süd (including the very small, but distinctly northern, villages of Dunge and Lesumbrook) and those transferred to Hannover-Bremen to Werderland Nord.

 

It should be understood that all of the villages listed below belonged to Goh Werderland prior to 1741.
