It is bounded by (from the northwest and clockwise) the city of Emden, the districts of Aurich, Wittmund, Friesland, Ammerland, Cloppenburg and Emsland, and by the Netherlands. The district is located in the southern part of East Frisia. The Ems river runs through the district, coming out of the Emsland in the south and flowing into the Dollart, a bay of the North Sea. The island of Borkum, belonging to the East Frisian Islands, is also a part of the district. In 1744 Ostfriesland was annexed by Prussia. In 1867 the region was subdivided into districts, and the districts of Leer and Weener were established. In 1932 these two districts were merged. After WWI, the villiage of Ostfriesland became part of Holland. The city of Leer is in the Leer District of northwestern Germany on the border with the Netherlands, located at the river Ems. It has a railway connection to Groningen, Netherlands. There are many Donkers in Leer and the Netherlands Leer had been a settlement long before it was first mentioned in written documents. Originally the city was situated close to the point where the river Leda flows into the Ems, but today the mouth of the Leda is part of the city. Even though Leer is some 30 km (19miles) away from the coast, it can be reached by large ships via the Ems. Leer lies close to the Dutch border, the district of Leer shares a border with the Dutch province of Groningen. In 791 AD Saint Ludger built the first chapel in East Frisia at the western edge of the settlement Hleri/Leer. This chapel is mentioned in a written document from 850 AD for the first time. There are however many traces of earlier settlements in the area, including crude flint tools that are dated back to the second millennium BC. During the 14th and 15th Century Leer was home town of the Ukena family which was one most influential East-Frisian chieftain families of that time. Town privileges were awarded in 1823 by George IV, King of Hanover. In 1854 Leer became connected to the "Hannoversche Westbahn" railway, which at that time connected Emden and Rheine in the Ruhr area. In 1856 the Westbahn became connected to the central German railway network. Unlike Emden, Leer only suffered little damage by Allied bombings in World War II. The city was occupied by Canadian Troops on April 28th, 1945. On 1 October 1955 Leer got the status of an independent city. Religions: Leer is a traditional Protestant city and home to both the Lutheran and Reformed churches. The German Reformed Church has its head office in Leer. Furthermore Leer offers an unusually large variety of smaller religious communities, especially Baptists, Mennonites, Methodists, Adventists and Mormons. Even though Eastern Frisia is a mainly a Protestant region, there is a small Roman Catholic community in Leer. Prior to the war, there were many Jews in Leer. |
