history

Earlier place names of Auhagen were in 1382 Ouhaghen , 1505 Auhaghen , 1540 Awhagen and 1550 Awehagenn . The name element “-hagen”, which is contained in this place name, belongs to Old High German “hagan”, Middle High German “hagen” and is a further development of the Old High German “- hag ”, “-hac” or Middle High German “hag” for “Umzäunung, umzäuntes Property, pasture, hedge ”. "-Hagen" in place names can refer to a fenced room, district or a fenced forest. The part of the local name “Au” comes from “Aue” for “land by the water”.

During the colonization of Hagen in the 13th century, the village on the Sachsenhäger Aue was laid out from Sachsenhagen Castle . Auhagen was located in what was then Dühlwald and was under the rule of the dukes of Saxony-Lauenburg . To the founding line, which has been largely agrarian structured to this day, the craftsmen's settlement on the Rähden adjoined to the west was added later . Auhagen later belonged to the Grafschaft Schaumburg and is now part of the Sachsenhagen municipality.

Since the division of the county of Schaumburg in 1647, the history of Auhagen has been very closely linked to that of Sachsenhagen . Auhagen was spared the fire that destroyed Sachsenhagen on October 24, 1619. During the Thirty Years' War Auhagen lost its Protestant chapel and was incorporated into the Bergkirchen parish. Since 1990 Auhagen has belonged to the Evangelical parish of Sachsenhagen.

The Auhäger Pfingstbier, a village family festival, is said to have been launched as early as 1750.

The tranquil village on the edge of the Steinhuder Meer nature park with its stork nests, the heron forest and a beautiful agricultural environment has now also visually grown together with its neighboring Sachsenhagen due to new development areas in the Rähden settlement.

In 1894 the Auhagen men's choir was founded.

The volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1932; In 2007 the company celebrated its 75th anniversary. From 1935 to 1949, the fire extinguishing association Auhagen, Düdinghausen, Sachsenhagen existed. Until the founding of their own youth fire department in 1998, the young people participated in the Sachsenhagen youth fire department.

On March 1, 1974, the neighboring community of Düdinghausen (telephone code 05033) was incorporated.

Culture and sights

• Auhagen is still considered a model village for the Hagenhufen settlements that were often built in the Middle Ages . The street in front of the gates runs parallel to the floodplain. Between the street and the floodplain lies a row of old farmhouses with their rear, horseshoe-shaped and enclosed gardens and the floodplain as a water supplier. The arable land belonging to the courtyards was and is on the opposite side of the street. The Häger farmers enjoyed special rights and were considered free citizens.
• A special feature of the small town is the existing mine on the southern slope of the Düdinghauser Berg. Coal was mined here until 1960 and transported to the Lüdersfeld shaft on a material cable car . The old shaft on Düdinghäuser Berg is currently in a state of decay. A fire hit the old transformer house badly. The police suspect arson. The cooling tower was completely destroyed by the weather.
