**Uesen** is a village in and a district of [Achim](/source/Achim), a town located in Lower Saxony (Germany). It is part of the district of [Verden](/source/Verden_(district)) and the river [Weser](/source/Weser) is very close. Uesen is situated between the eastern part of [Baden](/source/Baden,_Lower_Saxony) and the western city of Achim.

## History

On the site of the present Uesen existed an [urn cemetery](/source/Urnfield_culture) from the late [Bronze Age](/source/Bronze_Age_Europe). The urns are now kept in the [Lower Saxony State Museum](/source/Lower_Saxony_State_Museum) in Hanover and in the *[Grundschule](/source/Grundschule)* Uesen. Furthermore, the existence of settlement trails from the Saxon period has been proved, but the present village was founded in the Middle Ages.[1]

Since the middle of the 17th century there has been a [windmill](/source/Windmill) on the [Geest](/source/Geest)rücken of the Weser in Uesen. In the middle of the 18th century, today's 29m high "Dutch Gallery" windmill with two floors and a thatched roof was built to replace the existing *Bockwindmühle*. The windmill was in operation until 1965 and since 1969 it has been a museum mill.[2]

At the beginning of the 20th century, [asparagus](/source/Asparagus) was grown on the edge of the dunes on Am Ostfeld and Am Westerfeld, which was marketed supraregionalally in [Bremen](/source/Bremen) and [northern Germany](/source/Northern_Germany). Since the mid-20th century there has been residential development on the site.[3]

On July 1, 1972, Uesen was integrated into the city of Achim.[4]

## Economy and infrastructure

The "Weserbrücke" is a bridge across the river Weser. It is part of the important connection between Achim and [Thedinghausen](/source/Thedinghausen), forming part of the L156 road. The bridge was built in 1951, after the former bridge from 1928 was destroyed at the end of World War II.

There are a *[Grundschule](/source/Grundschule)* and a public swimming pool in Uesen.

Many big companies have premises in the industrial estate Achim-Uesen, for example companies like [Dräxlmeier](/source/Dr%C3%A4xlmaier_Group) and H.F.Wiebe.
