Jesteburg is a municipality in the district of Harburg, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is situated approximately 25 km south of Hamburg, and 6 km east of Buchholz in der Nordheide. Jesteburg is also the seat of the ''Samtgemeinde'' ("collective municipality") Jesteburg. In Jesteburg lies the confluence of two small rivers, the Schmale Aue and the Seeve. ==History== The first official mentioning of Jesteburg dates back to the year 1202, in a document signed by the Hartwig II, Archbishop of Bremen. The castle which gave the town its name is supposed to have guarded the Seeve passage until the 13th century. Remains of this "Burg" have not yet been found. In 1872/73 the railroad between Buchholz in der Nordheide and Lüneburg which still runs through Jesteburg was built. During an allied air raid on nearby Hamburg in January 1943 incendiary bombs where dropped on Jesteburg, several buildings where destroyed. On April 19, 1945 the railroad bridge was blown up by the Wehrmacht to slow the advance of British troops. Between 1933 and 1945 the population of Jesteburg nearly doubled, mostly due to refugees. In 1986/1987 the Heimathaus was built on the Niedersachsenplatz. The Heimathaus is a 450-year building from Eyendorf 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jesteburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
