Location of Achtum-Uppen in Hildesheim

Achtum-Uppen is a district of Hildesheim , which consists of two parts: the larger Achtum , four kilometers east of Hildesheim not far north of the federal highway B 6 , and the smaller Uppen , five kilometers east of Hildesheim on the federal highway 6.

history

The district of Achtum, a former clustered village , was mentioned for the first time as the eighth in a document in 1173 , when the tithe of the village was transferred to the Godehardikloster by Bishop Adelog. The village received its own church in 1195, before it belonged to the parish of St. Andreas in Hildesheim.

Uppen is the easternmost district of Hildesheim and was first mentioned in a document in 1125. When the Landwehr was built in the Middle Ages from 1429 to protect the city of Hildesheim and its fields, a tower and a passage, the so-called “Uppener Pass”, were built in Uppen. A street name, a memorial stone and a plaque in Uppen still remember him today. The tower of the Uppener Pass is also shown in the coat of arms of Achtum-Uppen.

Incorporations

The incorporation to Hildesheim took place for the regional reform in Lower Saxony on March 1, 1974.

Culture and sights

Buildings

  • A figure of the patron saint of Bohemia, Johannes Nepomuk , from the 18th century, which was previously set up outside the village in the field, has been on view on federal road 6 since 1984 .
  • The historic rectory and the Catholic Church of St. Martin in Achtum are worth seeing . Its nave was demolished in 1899, then rebuilt in neo-Gothic style and completed in 1901. The quarry stone tower, the lower part of which dates from the 12th century, was increased by one storey in 1903. The renovation work was carried out according to plans by building officer Richard Herzig (1851–1934), who also built St. Bernward and St. Elisabeth in Hildesheim. In the church, the stained glass windows, the stencil painting on the walls and the wooden ceiling are particularly noteworthy. Since November 1, 2014, the Churches Immaculate Conception of Mary in Bavenstedt and Immaculate Conception of Mary in Einum have also belonged to the parish of St. Martin .
