Alt-Laatzen is a village in the town of Laatzen in the Hanover region in Lower Saxony .
history
Urn finds from pre-Roman times indicate an early settlement. The first mention by name dates from July 6, 1259. The first mention of the old Laatzener Chapel, the southernmost building of the north German brick Gothic , comes from January 13, 1325. Laatzen was at that time a village of mostly dependent farmers. The von Lathusen family was the largest landowner in the area at the time. The current name Laatzen is a modification of this name. The ownership rights of this family later passed to the Marienrode monastery . With Döhren and Wülfel , Laatzen then belonged to the so-called “Little Free”. As in the “ Great Free ”, the inhabitants of these villages were allowed to sell their farms without the permission of the upper owner, they could hunt and had the right to pursue handicrafts and businesses without a license. For this they had to pay interest to the king and the duty to do military service.
The structure of Laatzen was rural until well into the 19th century. In the course of the industrial revolution , Laatzen gradually developed into an industrial workers' settlement with an initially clearly rural character. The Second World War also hit Laatzen with heavy bombing; In the post-war period, with the new upswing, the transformation from the old village to an urban settlement continued all the more lively.
In 1964, the voluntary association Laatzens with the adjacent grass village to the city of Laatzen . As part of the regional reform on March 1, 1974, the town of Laatzen was merged with the independent communities of Rethen , Grasdorf, Gleidingen and Ingeln-Oesselse . In return, the exhibition grounds came to the city of Hanover .

coat of arms
The design of the coat of arms of Alt-Laatzen is of unknown origin.
- The approval of the coat of arms was granted by the President of the Province of Hanover in 1930/31.
- The city of Laatzen, newly formed by law on March 1, 1974, took over the coat of arms of the previous city of Laatzen, which was approved by the district president in Hanover on April 30, 1974.

Blazon : "In the divided shield above on a red background a growing , golden lion and below on green a silver wave bar ." |
| Justification of the coat of arms: When designing the coat of arms of the upper half of the shield, it was assumed that today's Laatzen district of the city of the same name, together with the current Hanoverian districts of Wülfel and Döhren, belonged to the so-called "Small Free", the old judicial association of the three then independent municipalities. This area in turn formed part of the so-called "Great County" and passed in 1248 from the Counts of Lauenrode to the Welfs . Both sexes, the Counts of Lauenrode and the Dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , have a soaring lion in their coat of arms. Since the rule of the Lauenroder counts in the Kleiner Free area ended in 1248, the Guelph lion was certainly thought of when designing the coat of arms. The silver wave bar on a green background in the lower half of the shield is intended to symbolize Laatzen's position on the leash embedded in green meadows. |
