Location of Ahrbeck in Burgdorf

Ahrbeck is a location in the Lower Saxon town of Burgdorf , which includes around 15 buildings. The village, which is just under 1.5 kilometers southwest of the city center, borders on federal highway 443 to the west and the Lehrte – Celle railway line to the east . From an administrative point of view, Ahrbeck is not a separate district, but lies on Heeßel territory.

Ahrbeck is first mentioned in a document in 1442 in the Celler Vogtsregister, until the 17th century it was a fief of the von Bortfeld family . After this family died out, it fell to the Lords of Lüneburg and remained in their possession until the 19th century.

In 1623, during the Thirty Years' War , citizens of Burgdorf built entrenchments and other fortifications in front of their city , which reached as far as Ahrbeck and Heeßel. The Heeßel part of these systems was razed three years later, the Ahrbeck part, however, remained until 1817. In 1813, Ahrbeck appears in statistics from the Kingdom of Westphalia as a hamlet with five houses and 50 inhabitants, eleven years later four houses are documented. By 1860 Ahrbeck was Beinhorn and Heeßel coupled . The three places had already formed a common peasantry by the 17th century at the latest .

Until it was incorporated into Heeßel in 1929, Ahrbeck was an independent municipality in the Burgdorf district . In 1974, Heeßel finally came to the town of Burgdorf.

Ahrbeck is still characterized by agriculture today. The historic town center "is demarcated by massive courtyard walls and old trees from the federal road that runs right by", which has retained its "contemplative character". The three farms with the postal addresses Alt Ahrbeck 1, 2 and 3 are listed as historical monuments . The early medieval castle Heeßel , of which some earth walls are still preserved, is located about 800 meters from Ahrbeck on the way to Heeßel. According to a warehouse book of the Burgdorf office from 1660, the castle probably belonged to the Ahrbeck district , which no longer exists today.

In the immediate vicinity is a disused gravel pit that has been leased by a fishing club since 2002. An approximately 1.5 hectare piece of meadow between Ahrbeck and Burgdorf Südstadt is the property of the Naturschutzbund and is used as a wetland biotope .
