Abbensen is a district of the municipality of Wedemark in Lower Saxony in the Hanover region and is located in the northwestern part of the municipality on the border with Neustadt am Rübenberge .

history

Abbensen was first mentioned in 1287 as "Abbenhusen". As early as 1202, the 'Obermühle', a water mill powered by the 'Jürse', was a landmark on the trade route to Hanover. It was dismantled around 1825 because the more sparsely flowing Jürse water as a result of drainage could no longer drive the mill wheel. Until 1852 ( customs union ) there was a customs post here, as indicated by the street name "Alte Zollstrasse".

On March 1, 1974 Abbensen was incorporated into the new municipality of Wedemark.

Abbensen coat of arms
 Blazon : "In green a silver bar , above two crossed, silver horse heads ( wind boards ), in each of the side corners of which a golden ring with two fish bubbles floats, below a lying, silver wolf tang ."
Justification for the coat of arms: The two horse heads (wind boards) symbolize the still rural character of the village. The two rings with the fish bubbles point to the frieze of the valuable winged altar of the chapel from around 1450. The silver crossbar is reminiscent of the customs station that existed in Abbensen on the border of the former principalities of Lüneburg and Calenberg . The Wolfsangel underlines the affiliation to the Burgdorf district .
