Location of Angerstein in Lower Saxony

Angerstein is part of the Nörten-Hardenberg area in the Northeim district . Angerstein is located in southern Lower Saxony between the cities of Göttingen and Northeim in the Leinetal .

history

In 1139 the name was mentioned in a document from Bishop Adalbert II of Mainz . In the Middle Ages, the Lords of Plesse ruled here , and since Ludwig I , the Landgraves of Hesse . Regarding the other ownership structures, it can be seen that the Gandersheim Abbey in Angerstein had owned a Vorwerk with 4 Hufen Landes from the earliest times . Later that part of Gandersheim found itself in the hands of the Lords of Plesse after the abbess Margaretha of the Marienstein monastery , a née von Plesse, had transferred it to them. Furthermore, the Nörtener Petersstift owned a commander on site, which it had received from Gandersheim as a fief . In 1236 a Hufe Landes, which belonged to the diocese of Mainz , became the property of the Marienstein Monastery, and the monastery was able to acquire another property in 1252.

On March 1, 1974, Angerstein was incorporated into the Nörten-Hardenberg area.

Religions

Protestant church

In Angerstein there is an Evangelical Reformed Church (Kirchstrasse 7, see also “Sight”), it belongs to the Plesse Synodal Association of the Evangelical Reformed Church. Since 1971, she has also looked after the Evangelical Lutheran residents of Angerstein, and both denominations are represented in the governing bodies of the parish.

The Catholic Church of Divine Providence was a branch church of the parish in Nörten-Hardenberg , it was built between 1965 and 1967. Its construction had become necessary because residents from Böseckendorf who had fled the GDR in 1961 had settled in Angerstein . In 2003 it was profaned . The building was left to the Angerstein eV youth initiative , which has set up a youth culture center in it (see also “Culture”). Today the nearest Catholic church is 3 km away in Nörten-Hardenberg.

Attractions

  • Evangelical Reformed Church from 1787 with the coat of arms of the Landgraves of Hesse. It appears as a two-axis rectangular hall with a hipped roof . The walls have a corner cuboid, the segment-arched closed windows and the simple, west-facing rectangular portal stand out from the plastered wall surface through their stone framing. A coat of arms stone from a previous building was reused as a spoiler above the portal. A square, slated roof turret is on the west wall. The clock face of the church clock can be found on its western side. Above this, a protruding eaves cornice closes off the square part of the roof turret. The octagon now connects to the lantern , and sound openings have been made on the roof in the four cardinal directions. The lantern is crowned by a swinging tip with a ball and a tower cock .
