My great grandfather, Johann Berend Petermann, was born in Ganderkesee Germany in 1843. He spent 14 years at sea.
Subsequently he married and had one child in Germany. The family immigrated to the United States circa 1880 and
settled in Hoboken, New Jersey.
There were Petermanns in Ganderkesee as early as the late 1500 early 1600s.
LDS films #1431001 & 2: The Ganderkesee records are on LDS films #1431001 & 2. The film is in very bad shape. There is a lot of damage
and much of it is out of focus.
In addition the years jump around a lot.
LDS's notes say: Parish registers of baptisms, marriages and deaths for
Ganderkesse, Olbenburg, Germany. Right and left hand pages are filmed separately for
most volumes. Many frames are overexposed or blurred. Consists of ninety 8 mm strips
printed onto 16 mm film in erratic order.
While they list the years 1660 to 1860 on both films, film 1431001 only covers BAPTISMS for
the years
1820ish to
1860ish.
The LDS microfilms are very, very hard to read.
I was not able to use them successfully for genealogical research.
In June 2012 my husband and I spent some time in Ganderkesee and took a brief look at the church records.
These records were computerized some years ago and are in book form. The originals are not available for viewing.
We took some photos of the records. These images and other records were used to compile the following information on the Petermann family in
Ganderkesee.
Unfortunately, our time was limited and several of the images I photographed came out fuzzy and hard to read.

Landwehr is a road between Hoyerswege and Hengsterholz south
east of Ganderkesee. Currently there are several farms buildings,
in the area.
Landwehr, Landwehren [Bearbeiten]
Landwehren waren mittelalterliche Grenzsicherungsanlagen.
Sie dienten dem Grafen von Delmenhorst, seine Besitztümer vor feindlichen
Angriffen zu schützen. Die im 14. bis 15. Jahrhundert angelegte
Ganderkeseer Landwehr erstreckte sich von Landwehr bis nach Nuttel.
Die Landwehr bestand aus mehreren Erdwällen, die eine Wallbreite von
bis zu 10 m und eine Höhe von bis zu 6 m hatte. Vor den Wällen verlief ein
Spitzgraben, der etwa eine Tiefe von 1 m und eine Breite von 1,5 m hatte.
Auf den Wällen befanden sich Palisaden und dornenbewehrte Holzgeflechte.
Feindliche Angreifer umgingen lieber solche Wehranlagen, weil die Verluste
bei der Erstürmung zu grossüaren. Heute sind von der
Landwehr nur noch Reststücke zu sehen.
Landwehren were medieval border security systems which protected the Court of
Delmenhorst from enemy attacks.
The 14th and 15th century Ganderkesee Landwehr stretched as far as Nuttel.
The fortifications consisted of several mounds with a wall of up to 10 meters in width and
6 meters in height. On the walls were palisades and thorn reinforced wooden fences.
Enemy attackers avoided these military installations because the
losses were to great to warrant assault. Today only remnants of the fortifications remain.

Petermanns in Ganderkesee Today
The 2012 phone book for Ganderkesee and vicinity listed only two Petermanns neither in Gandersee per se.
However, there could be Gandersee Petermann descendants through a female line as evidenced by Hans Schnittker who lives in
Hoyerwege and who's
mother was a Petermann.
