About this picture

Lindwedel is a municipality in the Samtgemeinde Schwarmstedt in the Heidekreis district in Lower Saxony ( Germany ).

geography

The municipality of Lindwedel is located north of the Grindau between Hanover and Walsrode and in the south of the Aller-Leine-Tal tourist region . The border to the Hanover region runs through the Viehbruch with the Grindau river , which largely represents the natural separation between the Lindwedel and Plumhof districts. It is the southernmost member community of the integrated community Schwarmstedt .

Neighboring communities are Vesbeck, Wedemark (with the community parts Oegenbostel, Plumhof , Berkhof, Sprockhof), Buchholz (Aller) , Grindau and Esperke.

The municipality of Lindwedel consists of the villages Lindwedel and Hope. The village of Lindwedel is divided into four districts: the historic center (so-called Altes Dorf), the "Lust", the so-called settlement created after the Second World War and the Adolfsglück colony. There are also some weekend settlements in the Lindwedel and Hope districts.

Adolfsglück was created in 1907 when the potash mine in the immediate vicinity started operations. The architecture of this colony still shows the characteristics typical of mining in the early 20th century.

history

A settlement for several millennia has been proven. It was first mentioned in a document in 1304.

The region of today's municipality of Lindwedel received a very significant impact with the establishment of the Adolfsglück potash and oil drilling company in 1899 and the transfer of mining rights to the company between 1905 and 1907.

The beginning of the devil took place in 1907 in the Adolfsglück shaft and in 1909 in the Hope shaft. In Hope, potash production was discontinued in 1924, while in Adolfsglück the cessation in 1926 was linked to the start of an oil exploration. The oil exploration operation was shut down in 1929.

Between 1933 and 1960 the company buildings in Adolfsglück were used as a warehouse for the Todt Organization and for the Airlift to Berlin.

The development of a rich seam led to the restart of potash mining in 1963, which was discontinued in 1980. Investigations into the conversion as a repository up to 1988 were followed by successive partial backfilling, flooding and residual backfilling of the shafts up to 2002.

On October 15, 1944, a fully occupied passenger train pulled into the station. At the same time, an ammunition train loaded with torpedo warheads passed the station. Bombs dropped during a British air raid hit it. A huge explosion tore up wagons and hurled people and pieces of iron through the air. Over 400 people lost their lives in the disaster. A memorial inscription on the memorial at the intersection Schulstr./Dorfstr. reminds of the victims.

On November 16, 1977 in Lindwedel , Carl Beddermann united the "Environmental Protection Party" USP with the Green List Environmental Protection (GLU), which had split off from the USP shortly before. The GLU was the first Green Party in Europe. The Lower Saxony Greens emerged from the GLU, and this resulted in today's Alliance 90 / The Greens party .

In 2012, the community achieved the title of district winner in the state competition "Our village has a future".

On March 1, 1974, the Hope Ward was incorporated.
