I came across this article on the website H / Soz / Kult about the "Gauleiters" in Niedersachsen:

Kult – Mythos – Terror: NS-Orte in Bremen und Niedersachsen

Link: https://www.hsozkult.de/conferencerepor ... ichte-1431

A lot of text, extensive book review, only in the german language, probably interesting for a few readers here in the forum...

Translation, just ask...

I know the area very well, the small village "Dötlingen", called the "Reichsmusterdorf" was just around the corner, a former ladyfriend grew up in the area.
Dötlingen https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dötlingen

Btw. the village "Dötlingen" is impressive, even nowadays, the old farm houses, the sourrounding, the area, there is no noise, no industry,
someting like a "living museum", very well recommended.

I think, the most of you have no idea about the german term "Heimat" at all.

People write, and speak alot about all this, the term was always "Heimat".

Heimat is trust, fate, home, it is a something like a girl with a smile, the wide open sky, the sharing of all this in endless poems, and songs...

The Museumsdorf Cloppenburg is Heimat: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Museumsdorf_Cloppenburg

It is one of places to be once in your life, a trip back in time, Heimat.

As a child I used to go with my mother to the shop of an old lady who came from the Wehlburg. Freilichtmuseum Detmold is also very much a visit worth: https://www.lwl-freilichtmuseum-detmold.de/de/

Hi Halfdan S.,

the "Museumsdorf Cloppenburg" was founded in the early 1930s.
The founding of the museum during the National Socialist period (1934) gives rise to the question of whether it took place against the background of National Socialist blood-and-soil mythology. In 2009, Sabine J. S. Bardenhofer-Paul stated succinctly in her diploma thesis[22] without further justification: “The Cloppenburg Museum Village in Lower Saxony, which was opened in 1936 under the direction of Heinrich Ottenjann, is considered the first large German open-air museum. That this happened with the help of the National Socialist government and served its ideological purposes is evident.”

The founding of the Cloppenburg Museum Village should be viewed in particular in the context of the history of the homeland movement:[23] This movement began around 1880 as a reflection of the urbanization of Germany and the interest of many townspeople in remembering their rural roots. Out of this movement, the Ammerländer farmhouse in Bad Zwischenahn in 1910 and the Rauchkate in Neuenburg in 1912 were created in the state of Oldenburg as memorial sites that can be experienced with the senses. A local history museum was founded in Cloppenburg itself in 1922.

Heinrich Ottenjann developed the concept of the Cloppenburg Museum Village before 1933, which he was then able to realize in 1934. At the same time, Ottenjann was inspired by the holistic concept of Scandinavian open-air museums, which attempted to depict the history of the rural population documented in objects in their functional context.[24]

The National Socialists supported the idea of ​​promoting home care and instrumentalised[25] and ideologized the ethnological-agricultural-historical facility that was being created. Under the patronage of the Gauleiter Carl Röver, the museum village was to become a collection of ideal-typical farmhouses from the Oldenburger Münsterland, which, as it were, as a “built building manual”, conveyed the “right sense and right attitude” for the craft and the ideology of a “new, healthy farming community “ should convey.[26] Nevertheless, the Cloppenburg Museum Village never became a Nazi cult site in the same sense as the Stedingsehre open-air theater project in Bookholzberg, which Röver also supported, and there were also opponents of the Museum Village project in NSDAP circles.

Today, events are held regularly in the museum village to provide information about National Socialist evil.[27] The employees of the museum village themselves are also active in educational activities: For example, they comment on the thesis that the horse heads on Lower Saxon farmhouses (hall houses) were originally leftovers from horse sacrifices, saying that this was a myth spread by the National Socialists that did not stand up to critical scientific scrutiny. [28]
Still today like a journey back in time, it takes at least a whole day to see everything even a little bit.

The good old years, everyone I took there was deeply impressed, and the long distances hardly scared anyone away.

There are many museum villages here in Germany, Cloppenburg was and is a unique experience, incomparable.

Worth every minute.

We went to Cloppenburg in the 1990s to show my lady friend Petra the Museumsdorf.

Petra, had no idea about the Museumsdorf at all.
She grew up in the south Oldenburg region, but was never told by her family, what happened there before 1945.

I was in my late 30s, she was 21, and I brought her to the Museumsdorf in Cloppenburg.
She started to cry: "Micha, I did not know, that something like this is my homeland".

We spent all day there, in the afternoon we bought a large loaf of bread right out of the oven in the trad. bakery in the Museumsdorf.
It was nice to show a young friend her unknown homeland, a very good day.

That was in the early 1990s, it was a good day, we learned a lot, both of us.

If I have another chance, then I want to go back to Cloppenburg, right there. :wink:
