Barienrode is a district of the municipality of Diekholzen in Lower Saxony . The place is 2 km northeast of Diekholzen.

history

Barienrode was first mentioned in a document as early as 1140. Documents dating back to 1022 are forgeries from the 12th century. The Barienrode knight dynasty lived in the village during the High Middle Ages in the 12th to 14th centuries. The coat of arms shows two silver fish on a blue background, each pointing outwards. In 1939 Barienrode had 129 inhabitants, but with the influx of displaced persons and refugees, the population rose rapidly after the Second World War.

The place was incorporated into the municipality of Diekholzen on March 1, 1974. In 1997 the population was 1812.

Attractions

St Nicholas Church, Barienrode.

In Barienrode, the Catholic St. Nikolaus Church was built in the Baroque style in 1734 with a roof turret, the predecessor of which was first mentioned in 1406 as the "Nikolauskapelle". Above the baroque portal of the church, a statue from 1734 depicts St. Nicholas as bishop. In the church, a baroque altar from around 1690 with a panel painted around 1510 is remarkable, while the pulpit from around 1650 is originally in the cathedral to Hildesheim .

In addition, on the northern outskirts of Barienrode on the road to Hildesheim-Ochtersum, a field cross from 1860 is noteworthy. The names of a married couple carved on the back may refer to the donors who made the erection of the cross possible. Another plain cross rises on the corner of Hopfengarten and Heinrich-Heine-Straße at the southern exit of the town, with the year 1891 carved into its base.
