Art and event as experience
The region's uniqueness in past and present forms the art and culture landscape of the Wesermarsh and is theme of numerous projects and events.
Witnesses of past times can be found all over the region for instance in the historical shops in Nordenham-Abbehausen and Langwarden, at the regional historical Museum Nordenham or at the Handwerker Museums in Berne and Ovelgönne.
The "Schiffahrtsmuseum der Oldenburgischen Weserhäfen" in Brake invites you to an excursion through maritime history. Here you will find shipping history exhibits, old instruments and sea maps, bottled ships and much more from the exciting time of whaling and herring fishing, the big sailing vessels and shipyards along the Unterweser.
The Moorseer Mühle in Nordenham-Abbehausen offers a very special experience for the whole family: At the still working smock mill with connected special museum for miller's trade, join-in baking days take place regularly.
The project "Bronzezeithaus", a reconstruction of an settlement at the Hahnenknooper mill (Stadland) leads far back into history.
The reconstruction, built in accordance with the original will be completed in autumn 2005. The, with 3000 years oldest known German marsh settlement was discovered here during digging work.
The eco-system mudflat and the culture landscape of Butjadingen become alive at the Nationalpark-Haus Museum Fedderwardersiel (Butjadingen). The "Kaskade" of the Oldenburgisch-Ostfriesischen Wasserverbandes in Diekmannshausen (Jade) also occupies itself with the element water.
Literature, music and art in the Wesermarsh mean meeting with the most diverse artists at many different places: Whether classic in the park, a knees-up in the hall, stories in the garden or even living rooms — art and culture can be experienced everywhere. Special highlights at the annual event calendar are amongst others the art and culture week 'Gezeiten' (tide)and the 'Culture Summer Wesermarsh'.
Standard and low German speaking theatre groups, literature circles, art groups, private and communal culture facilities create a colourful mosaic of events and actions for guests to experience and listen. The Seefelder mill (Stadland) is only one example of brilliant regional culture work. Concerts, readings and lectures take place here as well as a countrywomen's market with produce from the Wesermarsh.
