history

Although archaeological finds from the earlier Iron Age (from 800 BC to BC) indicate an even earlier settlement, Hardegsen, with the Latinized name customary at the time , was first mentioned in 1020 as Hiridechessun . It is based on the original word * Heridagishuson ('settlement of Heridag'). Because of the name with the ending deg or dag (there are over ten known spellings of Hardegsen) it is assumed today that Hardegsen must originally have been a Cheruscan settlement . On the Galgenberg near Hardegsen there is also an approximately 2000 year old stool grave .

Evidence of an even earlier settlement is a bronze ax 15 cm in length, whose design as a border ax made it from the middle Bronze Age period from 1550 to 1300 BC. Chr. Could be assigned. In the vicinity of Hardegsen, stone axes were also found, which were assigned to the Neolithic Age (around 4500 BC).

The place was one likely to own estates of the Counts of Northeim and changed 1263 into the possession of the Lords of Rosdorf over. The brothers Dethard, Konrad and Ludwig von Rosdorf issued a document in 1310 which, in addition to Hardegsen, speaks of a place ante castrum Herdegessen , which is an early, first reference to Hardegsen Castle. It is not known whether the Rosdorf residents were already sitting in the castle as castle men, but at the beginning of the 14th century they developed a brisk building activity that went far beyond the lords' financial means. 1383 the city of Duke were Otto "Quaden said" the city rights awarded. The Hardeg Castle was for 200 years the summer residence of Guelph . In previous years, the Lords of Rosdorf were the owners of the village of Hardegsen. They also owned the neighboring villages of Ertinghausen, Schlarpe, Elliedrode, Hettensen, Lichtenborn, Asche, Lutterhausen and Hevensen; They exercised criminal jurisdiction over the village of Wolbrechtshausen . Otto der Quade succeeded the Lords of Rosdorf in 1380, conquered the castle and moved his residence to Hardeg for the next 14 years. With the rise of the village to his residence, Otto fortified it with walls, towers and moats and provided it with a landwehr that reached from Hardegsen to Hevensen. As Otto's residence, the city was often entangled in feuds , which meant that the residents were obliged to take part in the dispute with the city of Göttingen. The victorious conclusion of this feud for the Göttingen took place in the armed forces near Rosdorf on July 22, 1387.

Merian engraving around 1654

Feuds also determined Hardegsen's fate in the 15th century. In the 1460s it got caught up in a dispute with the Hanseatic cities of Braunschweig , Magdeburg , Halle (Saale) , Goslar , Halberstadt , Göttingen , Northeim , Einbeck , Hildesheim and Hanover . The reason was that Friedrich von Braunschweig-Lüneburg near Nörten-Hardenberg and Holzminden often attacked Lübeck and Lüneburg merchants; He stole the wagons loaded with valuable cloth and brought his booty to Moringen and Everstein Castle . The Hanseatic cities then jointly took action against Duke Wilhelm I and his sons Wilhelm II and Friedrich. In 1466 they besieged the city of Hardegsen, devastated houses and caused economic damage. On the return of the Hanseatic people to Hanover, they looted a further nineteen villages. The feud lasted until 1467, when the Guelphs finally defeated the Göttingen and returned to Hardegsen with an impressive booty. From the middle of the 16th century, the first references to officials in Hardegsen can be found in the documents: the princely rule of Hardegsen was thus converted into the office of Hardegsen, the extension of which included the property of the Lords of Rosdorf - it was the villages of Ellingerode, Hettensen, Schlarpe ( Schlarbeck), Lichtenborn, Asche, Lutterhausen, Ertinghausen, Wolbrechtshausen and Hevensen. The reference to the noble family of Rosdorf is also evident in the former official seal, which was borrowed from the Rosdorf coat of arms and contained a key and the lions of the Guelph dukes. In 1611 there were 790 people living in the Hardegsen office, this number rose to around 2000 in 1792. The office drew income mainly from the associated land, inherited interest rates , customs income, the fruit tithe ; in addition, manual and clamping services had to be performed. The recorded amounts in 1679 amounted to around 2387 thalers.

The historic city center has been the victim of fire disasters many times; the last major fire on December 24, 1678 was considered to be the most decisive event in Hardegsen's history. A large part of the city ​​center fell victim to a conflagration . Since the fire started at the time of Holy Mass , no one was harmed. In the years of the Seven Years' War Hardegsen also suffered, as soldiers moved into their quarters in the village from 1758 onwards. Eight companies of a French infantry regiment arrived for the first time in January, and after they withdrew a month later, a hussar regiment took hold. More troops followed, which among other things used the summer fruits as horse fodder, occupied the houses and finally brought in the plague. On August 15, 1760, Nikolaus von Luckner's corps took up position near Hardegsen, and on November 20, Ferdinand von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel and his troops set up their headquarters in Hardegsen. After Ferdinand's soldiers withdrew, 800 men became Braunschweig and stayed in the town houses for the winter. Diseases spread under the cramped living conditions at that time, including typhus from December 1760 . The losses were high, numerous men of the garrison and 500 inhabitants died by the beginning of 1761. By the end of the war, half of the population should succumb to the disease. Even after the troops withdrew, the disease did not subside. To get the matter under control, three hospitals were built, some doctors from Göttingen were hired and the streets were cleaned with strong-smelling essences. The death rate was so high that coffins and boards quickly became scarce. High contribution payments totaling 40,000 thalers meant that the place was financially exhausted at the end of the Seven Years' War. Also Fronfuhren outside Hardegsens, war and magazine carts and devastation of buildings weakened the economic power Hardegsens.

When the Kingdom of Westphalia was established in 1807 , the previous order in Hardegsen began to be changed. Adolph Meier, mayor of the town since 1801, resigned his office in 1808 and shortly afterwards became mayor of the newly established canton of Adelebsen. With the division into districts , Hardegsen was assigned to the canton Hardegsen; however, the office itself was converted into a domain . The last bailiff, Friedrich Koch, received the office of Maire von Hardegsen, which he held from 1808 until his death in 1811; he was followed by Götz von Olenhusen until Hardegsen was incorporated into the Kingdom of Hanover in 1814 . At that time the overwhelming number of Hardegsen's residents, a total of 1136 people, who were spread over 161 houses, committed themselves to the Lutheran creed. The population remained relatively constant until the middle of the 19th century. The place was then in the Principality of Göttingen , together with Moringen, the royal office of Moringen-Hardegsen with 6641 inhabitants, of which Hardegsen accounted for 1202 people and 179 houses.

The city is since 1973 nationally recognized resort and was from 1975 to 2010 state-approved health resort .

Incorporations

On June 1, 1970 Ellierode and Lutterhausen were incorporated. In the course of the regional reform in Lower Saxony , which took place on March 1, 1974, Asche, Ertinghausen, Espol, Gladebeck (until then in the district of Göttingen ), Hettensen, Hevensen, Lichtenborn, Trögen and Üssinghausen were added.

religion

Ev.-luth. St. Mauritius Church

Catholic St. Mary's Church

The population of Hardegsen is predominantly Evangelical Lutheran with the Evangelical Lutheran St. Mauritius parish of Hardegsen . In addition, there is the Catholic St. Marien Parish in Hardegsen . 17 pastors (from 1307 to 1545) are recorded from the pre-Reformation period. From 1540 there were Evangelical Lutheran services and pastors.

Hardegsen was Christianized earlier than the area around Hanover . It is thanks to the fact that Hardegsen was not assigned to the neighboring diocese of Paderborn or Hildesheim , but was already affiliated to the Archdiocese of Mainz (around 745).

It was not until three centuries later, from 1002 to 1024, that the first church was built in Hardegsen. Hardegsen was part of the Archdeaconate of Nörten since 1150 .

From the beginning of the 11th century until the dissolution (due to the Reformation) in 1543, there was also a brotherhood of the Kalande in Hardegsen . The first reliable evidence of the brotherhood came at the beginning of the 15th century.

Despite the Evangelical Lutheran services since 1540, the Reformation was not officially introduced in Hardegsen until January 31, 1543 . On that day, the superintendent Magister Antonius Corvinus made the visitation and reorganized church affairs. Corvin's newly written church regulations were in effect until 1919. With the introduction of the Reformation, the veneration of saints and relics was also ended. This also ended the pilgrimages to the church in Hardegsen, which claimed to have the bones of St. Vitus .

From around 1945 onwards a Catholic parish was formed again. In 1955, the St. Marien Church was built on Marienweg, designed by Josef Fehlig . In 1961 a branch church was added in Volpriehausen . In 1972 a wayside shrine was erected as a pilgrimage site in the parish garden of St. Marien . Since September 1, 2010, the St. Marien Church has belonged to the parish of St. Martin in Nörten-Hardenberg .

coat of arms

Blazon : "A jumping silver horse in blue ."

Justification of the coat of arms: Klemens Stadler writes about this in his book: “The horse, which is supposed to refer to the “ Lower Saxon horse ”, which can be proven as a symbol of the Guelphs since the middle of the 14th century , appears without a shield in a seal of the place from around 1500. In 1383, Duke Otto von Braunschweig-Göttingen gave him city ​​rights . The direction of movement of the horse changed in the following seals, of which there are impressions from the second half of the 16th century and from 1633 onwards. The current coat of arms representation based on those in the crest plaque on the town hall entrance, presumably to early Biedermeier back Template: Above and below the both sides decorated with leaves oval plate there are bands with the foreign exchange recte faciendo neminem timeas (Tue law, no one shy) and audiatur et altera pars (do not judge immediately, first hear the other word). The coat of arms colors are reported for the first time by Ahrens (1891). "

Town twinning

Since June 16, 1990, there has been a twinning with the historic European city of Stolberg in the Harz Mountains , which resulted from the first friendly contacts immediately after the border was opened in November 1989. To honor the partnership, part of the street “Hinter der Klus” was renamed “Stolberger Weg” in 2018 as part of a partnership day.

Culture and sights

Museums

Second Burgmannshof with showcase

• Ellermeier's Burgmannshof

It was completely restored between 1977 and 1982 and, as a monument, houses a violin museum and a research center for theology and ancient oriental culture. Ellermeier's Burgmannshof is the 2nd Burgmannshof in Hardegsen. The initiator for the preservation, renovation and continued use of the Burgmannshof named after him, the theologian Friedrich Ellermeier, was awarded the German Prize for Monument Protection in 1984 and the Paul Dierichs Prize in 1986 .

• Burgstall

It serves as a regional historical and ecological museum and is located on the grounds of Hardeg Castle. There handicraft traditions of the rural area are presented under their historical and ecological, technical and social aspects. Since 1999 there has also been a museum school with a historic classroom in the building. There, children can understand school lessons from bygone times in historical school clothes and, for example, get to know the Sütterlin script.

Buildings

1. Burgmannshof Hardegsen, 2005

Burgmannshöfe

• First Burgmannshof

The first Burgmannshof was first mentioned in 1292. It was rebuilt in 1591 by Chancellor Johannes von Jagemann and received five floors. The size of the building is evidenced by a copper engraving from the first half of the 17th century . In 1678 the building burned down to the massive foundation walls in the conflagration and was then rebuilt by the von Pape family in its current three-storey form.

• Second Burgmannshof

The second Burgmannshof was the second fiefdom in Hardegsen. It is located directly at Hardeg Castle and was called the courtyard in front of the castle back then and belonged to the von Reckhorst family until 1402.

town hall

One of the most representative buildings in Hardegsen is the town hall, which was built after Johannes Letzner in 1416 on the "Anger". In 1573 it was given a wooden porch with a turret, but the great fire in 1678 prevented the town hall from being preserved in its original form to this day. At that time, directly leaning against the town hall, there was also the guild hall, which burned down and inflicted enormous damage on the front wall of the neighboring building. The upper half was demolished and in 1680 the town hall received a half-timbered extension on its north side under the mayors Johann Domeier and Paul Sartorius . After the fire, the town hall lost its imposing character and had a rather impoverished, sober style, which was expressed in the fact that some rooms were no longer usable, while others, such as the room for the local Legge , were in complete darkness in 1777. Windows could not be installed, otherwise the masonry that had already been taken along would have to be broken through, which would have further reduced the stability of the building. Under the town hall is the Ratskeller , which is more recent in its current design, but already existed in the 17th century, if one should believe Letzner. At that time, Andreas Kulp was the owner of the Ratsschänke, before Henning Tekelenburg was named as a cellar innkeeper in 1678, followed by Christoph Preusser two years later. After several attempts, a new council cellar was set up in 1940. In the second half of the 20th century, the town hall no longer met the increased spatial requirements. The building was sold in 1959, making it the private property of Paul Halthof, who had already taken over the slaughterhouse and the Ratskeller as tenant in 1932. In 1960 the building was rebuilt: the cellar vault was demolished, the stairs to the entrance removed and a slaughterhouse built. The remaining rooms have been rebuilt in such a way that the former town hall is now an apartment building. The city administration completely moved into another representative building, the new "Ohlmer House", into which it moved in the spring of 1952.

Hardeg Castle

→ Main article : Hardeg Castle

Hardeg Castle, built in the 12th century , was the former seat of government of the Guelph Duke Otto . Today the Muthaus , the Hagenhaus and parts of the castle wall are still preserved. The premises of the Muthaus can be viewed and rented for celebrations and events. The income is used to finance the maintenance of the castle. The knight's hall is used as a registry office in spring and summer.

City Church of St. Mauritius

→ Main article : St. Mauritius (Hardegsen)

Construction began on this church in 1423. Since then it has been redesigned several times.

Watchtower

After the granting of town charter in 1383 by the then sovereign Duke of Braunschweig zu Göttingen Otto , Hardegsen was allowed to fortify the place with a wall. The city wall was probably built around 1400. The renovated watchtower and the adjoining small part of the city wall give an impression of the strength of the fortification of the city in the Middle Ages.

Tourism and leisure

Parks

Spa gardens

The spa gardens were laid out in the 1970s and were used by spa guests for recreation and communication purposes. Therefore, there is an artificial pond fed by the water of the Lunau stream flowing through the area, where park benches on wooden walkways invite you to linger, as well as a music pavilion. After losing the title “climatic health resort”, this area in the immediate vicinity of the castle lost its original function, but is still looked after and maintained as a park for the citizens.

wildlife Park

The wildlife park was opened in June 1965 and is visited not only by the residents of Hardegsen but also by residents of the surrounding areas of Göttingen, Northeim and Uslar. The park is supported both ideally and materially by the game reserve association.

On an area of ​​around 12 hectares in the Espoldetal ,  20 different animal species with around 150 animals are presented. In addition to native hoofed game species, endangered breeds of domestic animals such as z. B. to consider the Thuringian forest goat or angler saddle pigs. As a children's attraction there is a petting meadow with dwarf goats, pot-bellied pigs, donkeys and ponies.

Hiking and mountain biking

The Solling-Harz-Querweg begins in Hardegsen .

In 2005 Hardegsen was involved in founding the Solling-Vogler mountain bike region .

Economy and Infrastructure

Companies

Industry

In 1897 the cement works opened as the first large company in Hardegsen. The cement works is closed today, but the quarry is still used for lime mining. In December 2007, the cement works tower, which can be seen from afar, was blown up. The Biomasse-Verwertungs-Gesellschaft (bvg), previously located in Katlenburg-Lindau , has been located on the former site of the cement plant since November 2006 , and the Hardegsen wood pellet plant since 2010 .

A button factory stopped manufacturing in the first decade of the 21st century.

The now low industrial activity in the Hardegsen region is characterized by individual companies from the wood processing and metal processing industries .

The most recent activity in this area is the "Hardegsen Business Park" facility on the B 446. There is a large solar power plant and a commercial biogas plant that uses waste or agricultural crops specially produced for the purpose.

Agriculture and Forestry

Agriculture and forestry are the pillars of local economic activity. Extensive forests used for forestry and large agricultural areas (arable and pasture areas) are clear evidence of this.

Craft

In several industrial areas in Hardegsen, service providers (including security trades) and handicraft businesses have set up shop that serve the local market with their offers.

trade

The pan-European group of companies Poco Einrichtungsmärkte GmbH & Co. KG is today the largest employer in the city with around 170 jobs . The rest of the trade underwent a radical change after 1990 and changed the former structure, which was dominated by local merchants and retailers, in favor of one dominated by supraregional retail chains. Of these, three have settled in the city and provide the population with an extensive range of food that meets current standards.

traffic

Street

The city of Hardegsen is directly connected to the trunk road network. The federal road 241 runs past the city , which once ran right through the town, which can now be reached via two connections. Due to the narrow, not expandable carriageway and the curvy road course in the area of ​​the old town, following the medieval city layout, the federal road 241 was relocated from the town center to a bypass road at the foothills of the Gladeberg. The bypass will significantly relieve the city center of through traffic, but at the same time cause a decrease in the number of visitors. The federal highway 241 leads west from Hardegsen through the Solling and to the Weser , east over Moringen to the district capital Northeim and further into the Harz .

Bundesstrasse 446 , one of the shortest federal highways , begins at a large crossroads with complex roadways built in the sixties of the twentieth century east of the city . The motorway network can be easily reached from Hardegsen via this. The federal motorway 7 is reached after 4 km at the exit Nörten-Hardenberg. The nationally important federal highway 3 runs parallel to this, only half a kilometer away .

Public transportation

Hardegsen is located in the area of ​​the Southern Lower Saxony transport association . Due to the sharp decline in the importance of rail traffic in the second half of the 20th century, Hardegsen only has one stop on the platform of the Solling Railway, which passes north and high above the city . Hardegsen once had an independent train station on a nationally important, double-track railway line that connected the industrial areas in the west (Ruhr area) with those in the east (Halle-Leipzig). Due to the division of Germany after the Second World War, this line lost its importance, which happened again after reunification. Today the Northeim-Ottbergen route is a railway connection of regional importance.

Local public transport is primarily served by buses. Hardegsen is connected by bus with Northeim (line) and Göttingen (line 220 RegioLiner ), which run regularly during the week and during the day between 6 a.m. and 8 p.m., as the so-called RegioLiner sometimes even every half hour. Buses also go to Uslar (line 212) and Nörten-Hardenberg (line 182).

At the weekend, the timetable for all public transport is heavily thinned out. If necessary, the services of a local bus company can be used, which also offers taxi services.
