- Logabirum
Logabirum is a
quarter in the city ofLeer inEast Frisia ,Lower Saxony ,Germany .The Name
Logabirum was documented for the first time in
1439 as Loghebeerne. Before the spelling of Logabirum was fixed, it had a number of different variations. e.g.* On a gravestone
plate of1598 , one can recognize an old way of writing: "Loech Beerum".
* On oldmap s and documents, Logabirum is also written as "Logeberum," "Logaeberumi" or "Lochberum".There are also many different ways of interpreting the origins of the name.
One possibility is that "Loghe" or "Loech" comes from German and meant "locality/local/village". "Beerum" or "Berum" means forest, thus "Logabirum" meant
village at theforest . AfterG. Lohse andH. Thomas thought "birum" should be to attributed to the Germanic word "bir" (farmstead). Thus "Berum" would mean "in the yards" and Logabirum "in the yards with Loga".Another interpretation again comes from that Celtic origins, i.e. "Lo" - height, "ge" - green country, "berum" - homestead of the
bear s. Here it is considered that the forest in its currentshape was only cultivated by the counthouse and thus is substantially younger.History
Landmarks in Logabirum include the
church , which was probably built around1300 , and which only mill received in theLeeraner city, which is since its emergence in the year1895 in the family estate.Logabirum was built on a Geestruecken running from SW to NO. The oldest traces of a settlement Logabirums could be retraced by different investigations and urn finds into the time before
2000 v. Chr. i.e. in filter mountains. There was an old Huenengraeberfeld, from which only one or two in a small Waeldchen at the road filter mountains are received.Since
1973 , Logabirum is a local part ofLeer inEast Frisia (Lower Saxony ). Nevertheless it retained much of its village character.
