The village of Ampleben is a western district of Kneitlingen in Lower Saxony and is located on the Elm .
history
Ampleben (formerly Amplewe ) was first mentioned in 1199 as a parish village and was a noble court seat, a fief of the von Bötticher family, who exercised the lower courts over the village and the Feldmark .
The castle Ampleben was owned by the same family whose gender was witnessed for the first time in 1195 and in 1427 became extinct. The castle was bought by Duke Magnus in 1355 and pledged to the von Uetze family in 1360. In 1426 the city of Braunschweig acquired the property through a settlement with Duke Bernhard after the citizens of Brunswick and Magdeburg had destroyed the robbery castle . From 1454 to at least 1540, the city of Braunschweig had pledged Ampleben (courtyard, rectory and lands) to the Aegidienkloster and its abbot exercised the manorial rights.
Ampleben became known through the baptism of the folk hero Till Eulenspiegel , who is said to have been born around 1300 and baptized by Abbot Arnolf Pfaffenmeyer in the castle chapel. The robber baron Till von Uetze is said to have been the godfather .
A murder case rocked the village in 1868. The 33-year-old shoemaker Jonas Segger from Ampleben murdered the teacher's daughter Johanna Henriette Katharina Friederike Wurst and her daughter Clara Friederike Philippine Auguste on April 19, 1868 and set the house on fire after the fact. The victims were 48 and 13 years old. In the same year Segger climbed the scaffold in Wolfenbüttel because of a double murder . In 1905 Ampleben had 271 inhabitants.
On March 1, 1974, Ampleben was incorporated into the municipality of Kneitlingen.
Culture and sights
- The Ampleberkuhle is a quarry located in the Elmwald , from which ashlars of Elmkalkstein were broken as wall stones. The forester's house "Zur Ampleberkuhle" was parish off to Ampleben.
- The Ampleber Church is a splendid late Romanesque church with unusually rich sculptures, which artistically belongs to the successor to the early Gothic construction of the Magdeburg Cathedral (1209). The church is therefore also dated to the first half of the 13th century. It was restored in 1897 and most recently in 1969/70.
- A memorial stone in the center of the village reminds of Ampleben's first documentary mention in 1199.
- The manor house and a chapel built around 1790 have been preserved from the earlier Ampleben Castle , in whose castle chapel, according to tradition, Till Eulenspiegel was baptized.
- The Taufweg leads from Ampleben to Kneitlingen , a hiking trail about 1.5 km long, on which, according to tradition, Till Eulenspiegel carried a maid home after his baptism in Ampleben. However, the maid was drunk after the baptism ceremony. On the way to Kneitlingen she wanted to cross a muddy stream on a footbridge, but together with the little Till fell into the stream that still flows between Ampleben and Kneitlingen. This was Till's second baptism. Because it got so dirty in the stream, it had to be bathed at home. This bath is considered his third baptism. This incident is explained on an information board by the stream on the western edge of Kneitlingen. From the Taufweg there is an impressive view of Ampleben and its wider surroundings.
- To the south-east of Ampleben, a station building of the former Braunschweig-Schöninger Railway , which was completed in 1902 and decommissioned in 1971, has been preserved.
