Zwischenbergen
human settlement in Germany
Zwischenbergen is a village and district (Stadtteil) of the East Frisian town of Wiesmoor, in Lower Saxony. It is located approximately six kilometers southwest of the town center.
History
After the land reclamation edict of King Frederick II of Prussia, many new settlements were founded in East Frisia to secure space and livelihood for the growing population. Under the Dutch occupation, the settlement Tüssen Bargen (transl. "Between Mountains") was founded in 1810 between the colony of Voßbarg and Fiebing. It was also popularly known as "the Dutch colony". In the long term, the High German name Zwischenbergen prevailed.
The municipality of Zwischenbergen was incorporated (at least partially) into the municipality of Wiesmoor on 1 July 1972.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Zwischenbergen”, the useful work is to connect “human settlement in Germany” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 5, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q244906. Authority coordinates are 53.371, 7.676. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1810 and 1972.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
