About this picture

Pattensen is a small town in the Hanover region south of the city of Hanover in Lower Saxony . With around 15,000 inhabitants, it is the second smallest municipality in the region before Wennigsen and is characterized by agriculture. Many of the residents are commuters in the Hanover economic area.

geography

Pattensen borders clockwise, starting in the southwest, on Springe , Hemmingen and Laatzen , all in the Hanover region, as well as on Sarstedt and Nordstemmen from the Hildesheim district . The place is located in the historical landscape of the Calenberger Land and within the Calenberger Loessbörde with fertile arable soils.

Each district has its own location , with a few hundred to around four thousand meters of agricultural land between them. Between Pattensen-Mitte and the south-south-east neighboring Jeinsen are about four kilometers of agricultural land, some of which belongs to Sarstedt.

In the east of Pattensen the Leine flows with the nature reserves Alte Leine and Leineaue between Ruthe and Koldingen and the landscape protection areas Obere Leine and Calenberger Leinetal . In the far south there is a wooded elevation with the Marienberg , the Schulenberger Berg and the Maßberg, as well as the Adenser Berg on the Nordstemmer area on an area of ​​about one square kilometer . A few more wooded areas (Jeinser Holz) are in the southwest near Hüpede and Oerie.

City structure

Pattensen includes the districts of Hüpede , Jeinsen , Koldingen , Oerie , Pattensen-Mitte , Reden , Schulenburg and Vardegötzen and the other localities of Thiedenwiese and Lauenstadt. Hüpede and Oerie form the locality of Hüpede-Oerie in terms of local law and thus have a joint local council.

history

The area around Pattensen was inhabited in early times by Cheruscans and later Saxons . The Gaugrafen's tribal institution, which Pattensen got quite early, dates from this time. An original parish was founded in Pattensen in the 9th century . Excavations in Jeinsen have shown that at that time there was already a building where St. George's Church from the 12th to 13th centuries stands today. At the beginning of the 11th century, documents mentioning today's districts of Hüpede (Hupida), Oerie (Oride), Thiedenwiese (Tiadikashem) and Vardegötzen (Fritegotessin).

It was not until the end of the 12th century that the citizens received their first town charter , when the Counts of Hallermund built Pattensen Castle on a hill-like elevation to monitor the trade routes. The town hall , which was used until 2018, is located here . There were eight Burgmannshöfe in the immediate vicinity of the castle , including the later Weidemannsche Hof . They were used to supply the castle residents with food from agriculture, consumer goods and crews ( castle men ).

With the Guelph dukes Pattensen got in the 13th century full civic rights, prompting city usual fortifications were built. In 1928 a coin was found that shows that Pattensen was an important trading center as early as the beginning of the 13th century.

In the 13th or 14th century, the Counts of Hallermund built Koldingen Castle in the Leinen lowlands to monitor trade routes and secure the river crossing. The Reden manor was first mentioned in 1227 . Only a few decades later, Otto der Strenge built the Calenberg fortress in Schulenburg , from which the surrounding area takes its name. The fortress was built against the bishops of Hildesheim and for a long time served as the residence and administrative seat of the Guelph dukes .

Koldingen official building around 1900

In the middle of the 15th century, the " Coldingen Castle " was built as a castle complex on a ridge above the Leine . At that time, the facility, like Koldingen Castle, was owned by the Bishops of Hildesheim. Koldingen was in the border area between the Hildesheim monastery and the Welfish territories , which gave rise to quarrels. This led to the destruction of both castles during the Hildesheim collegiate feud (1519–1523). In 1593 the Koldingen office was built on the site of Coldingen Castle .

Pattensen rose to the position of archdeacon and reached its religious climax at the time of the Reformation , when Antonius Corvinus as regional superintendent (Jeinsen was also the seat of a superintendent) had his official seat here. The country's first major church synod took place here until Corvinus was imprisoned for three years in the fortress of Calenberg in the middle of the 16th century when the Counter-Reformation arrived.

At the instigation of Duke Erich II , women from Pattensen, including Annecke Rotschroeder , Annecke Voss and Margarethe Knigge , were brought to justice in the witch trials in the town of Eldagsen and the witch hunt in Neustadt am Rübenberge from 1568 to 1574 .

At the beginning of the 16th century Pattensen was conquered and torn down three times in the Hildesheim collegiate feud . An older moated castle on the grounds of the estate in Hüpede was lost. In 1523 Koldingen was again welfisch, remained the official seat of the Koldingen office and received a new district . It was enlarged in the middle of the 17th century at the expense of the Calenberg Office and lasted until 1852. Even more devastating were the destruction of the Thirty Years' War , during which the Calenberger Land was plundered four times and, among other things, the Calenberg Fortress was destroyed. During this time, Pattensen was still an important meeting place for many state parliaments and only lost importance when the seat of Duke Georg von Calenberg was moved to Hanover.

Several large fires broke out in Pattensen. The most devastating occurred in 1655 and 1733. Over 100 houses, 200 and 144 barns and stables, respectively, were destroyed. 16 people were killed in the last fire.

Between 1857 and 1866 Marienburg Castle was built on the Schulenburger Berg in the south of what is now the city. It was used by the wife of King George V of Hanover , Marie , as a summer residence .

After the Second World War , over 30 percent of Pattensen's residents were at times displaced from the former German eastern regions . For the Catholics among them, the Church of St. Mary was built in 1953 .

Pattensen belonged to the Hanover administrative district until this, like all Lower Saxony administrative districts, was dissolved on December 31, 2004.

Culture and sights

Buildings

Parts of Pattens old town were rebuilt uniformly after the great fire of 1733. Instead of the gabled houses that had prevailed until then, there are now mainly two-storey eaves half-timbered houses. These are particularly well preserved in Dammstrasse and on the market square.

Pattensen is the seat of the superintendent in the Evangelical Lutheran church district Laatzen-Springe of the Hanover district . This includes the St. Lucas town church on Corvinusplatz in Pattensen . It was converted from a three-aisled basilica into a hall church around 1400. Since another renovation in 1801/1802, it has now been a large hall, only the surrounding walls of the hall church have been preserved.

The Catholic Church of St. Maria on Ostlandplatz was built in 1953. Since 2006 the church belongs to the parish of St. Augustinus in Hanover- Oberricklingen .

A New Apostolic church is located on the "Lange Heese" street; its congregation belongs to the Hanover Southwest church district.

In 1838 the Alte Wache was built in place of the old stone gatewache.

The Calenberg Bridge over the Leine from 1751, Marienburg Castle , the Koldinger Amtshaus from 1593 and the ruins of the Calenberg Fortress are among Pattensen's sights.
