Memorial stone of the former community

Abbensen is a village in the municipality of Edemissen in the Peine district in Lower Saxony .

geography

Abbensen is located north of the district town of Peine between the two regional centers of Hanover and Braunschweig on the edge of the Südheide.

history

Abbensen was first mentioned in a document in 1221. The Abbensen manor was first mentioned as Abbens Castle in 1279. To the west of Abbensen, in the Fuhse valley, are the remains of the lost Abbensen Castle , which was only discovered in 2007. Whether it is identical with the castle mentioned in a document in 1279 has not been proven. The Duke of Braunschweig and Lüneburg gave the feudal right over the whole village of Abbensen to the knight Burchard von Saldern in 1383 . The Chamber President Paul Joachim von Bülow acquired the manor for 1000 thalers in cash in 1654 with royal approval  . General Cuno Josua von Bülow , later heir to Abbensen, drove troops of a Saxon-Danish invasion from the place in 1700. He was appointed Field Marshal General in 1727 by George II , King of Great Britain and Elector of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (Hanover).

Abbensen manor

The manor was taken over in 1870 by Heino von Heimburg , who later received half of the property and bought the other half for his efforts to end the bankruptcy. The councilor Heinrich von Schwartz bought the manor for his son Karl in 1890 . The von Schwartz family still run the estate as an agricultural business today.

From 1532 to 1885 the place Abbensen belonged to the Gografschaft Edemissen in the Meinersen office . Then he came to the Peine district to this day.

In the course of the territorial reform in Lower Saxony, on March 1, 1974, the unified municipality of Edemissen was formed from the localities of the integrated municipality of Edemissen and eight other independent municipalities.

religion

The Protestant denomination established itself in the early 16th century. As a chapel community, Abbensen was part of the parish of the Martin Luther parish of Edemissen until 1894 and has been a parish since then. As a visible expression of this innovation, the parish erected a church tower in the former chapel in 1906.

politics

Ulrich Seffer (SPD) is the local mayor.

coat of arms

The coat of arms contains a blue lion in the middle of a blue border with 14 golden balls in gold, holding a red rose with green clusters and golden sepals in its paws. The lion is the Guelph (Lüneburg) and reminds of Abensen's long affiliation to the Guelph lands. The rose is that of the Lords of Saldern, who owned estates in Abbensen from 1383 to 1607.

Culture and sights

• Today's church in Abbensen replaced the old chapel from 1362, which was demolished in 1831 because of dilapidation. In 1835 the Abbens consecrated their newly built chapel. The design came from the Hanover consistorial architect Friedrich August Ludwig Hellner .

In addition to the usual local events such as Easter bonfires, setting up the maypole, shooting festival and Christmas market, etc., Abbensen offered a special event for several years with the “duck race” on the Fuhse, which had become known beyond the local borders.
