prehistory

→ Main article : Iron Age settlement near Bantorf

In prehistoric times there was an Iron Age settlement near Bantorf . It was discovered during the expansion of the Bantorf-Nord industrial park on BAB 2 in 2011. An excavation revealed that it included multi-aisled houses as well as pit houses and post stores. Large quantities of well-preserved pottery were excavated in storage and waste pits . The lack of metal objects as well as the find situations suggested that the settlement was abandoned and relocated around the 1st century. It could not be fully explored because it continues on a site that was built over with a large complex of buildings years ago. The finds were presented in September 2012 as an exhibition in the town hall in Barsinghausen.

middle Ages

Bantorf emerged from the three settlements Bantorf, Ebbinghausen and Luttringhausen . Bantorf was first mentioned in documents in 1226 when the Saxon Duke Heinrich von Sachsen donated goods to the Mariensee Monastery in the settlement, which was then called Bodindorp. The place name part Bodin goes back to a person Bodo, so that the place name was used to express the Bodo clan living in the village (-dorp). Ebbingehusen was first mentioned in a document from Pope Innocent III in 1216 . called. Luttringhausen was first mentioned in Luthard von Meinersen's fiefdom register around 1226. The agricultural settlements existed independently until around 1700 and were then administered jointly.

Modern times

At the beginning of the 19th century, around 300 people lived in Bantorf. When hard coal mining began in the Deister and thus also in Bantorf in the middle of the 19th century , the population doubled to 750 people in 1905. There were 500 miners among the residents. In 1928 mining came to a standstill and the resulting mining facilities, such as the chimney, railroad tracks and the dump, disappeared by 1938. The demolition material was used as a substructure for the motorway, today BAB 2 . In August 2013 the former laundromat and the miner's home were demolished.

coat of arms

The draft emblem of Bantorf comes from the in Gadenstedt born and later in Hannover living heraldic and graphic artist Alfred Brecht , who is also the emblem of Aligse , Barrigsen , Egestorf has designed and many other villages in the district of Hannover. The approval of the coat of arms was granted on March 12, 1964 by the district president in Hanover.

Blazon : "In gold one to the head of the shield excellent, Green Mountain , occupied with one of plate edge reaching to shield edge, golden " Sluchter " , interrupted by a road block with embedded Zapf post about it in the mountaintop three silver boulders 1: 2."

Justification of the coat of arms: The mountain in the coat of arms indicates the Bantorfer Höhe des Deisters, the three boulders are supposed to symbolize the three early settlements, as well as Thieplatz and the Bantorfer quarries. The road block most closely symbolizes the post documented near Bantorf, called Wackerhagenort, also refers to the customs house on the old Helwege and the border location in Marstemgau with the early fortifications opposite the Bückethaler Landwehr . The colors gold and green do justice to the location of the “Börde”, whose predominant rural character harmoniously includes the residential areas of the miners who have settled here.
