Bevenrode is a district in the northeast of Braunschweig , in the district of Wabe-Schunter-Beberbach .

geography

Bevenrode is located northeast of the Braunschweig core city on the edge of a Jura formation that is predominantly covered with deciduous forest , which comes to the surface between Essenrode and the Schunter and has oil shale deposits further east . The topographical height of the Bevenrode district ranges from 80 to 96.9  m above sea level. NHN . The place is traversed by the Beberbach , the course of which has been almost completely renatured as part of an overall project.

The village is on the L293 state road, which used to lead from Wettmershagen (Gifhorn district) to Riddagshausen, but was swiveled to Bevenrode due to a new regulation and now via the streets "Am Meerbusch" and "Bechtsbütteler Straße" in the southwest via Bechtsbüttel connection to the "Westtangente" (A391) at Wenden / Bechtsbüttel. On February 17, 2016, District Council 112 complained that the "Bechtsbütteler Strasse" was too narrow for a state road. Currently only 4.65 m and requires an extension to the standard width. The Bevenrode "Grasseler Straße" through-town was stepped from the "Am Meerbusch" road to the southwest towards Waggum to form the new Kreisstraße 4. The district road K31 connects Bevenrode with Hondelage to the southeast. Bevenrode has the neighboring towns of Waggum, Bechtsbüttel, Abbesbüttel, Grassel, Wendhausen and Hondelage.

Two landscape protection areas approach the core of the Bevenrode settlement : in the south the LSG “Querumer Holz and adjacent landscape parts” and immediately to the east the LSG “Essenrode-Grassel”, which is demarcated by the district road.

history

The place was first mentioned in a document as "Bevenrodhe" in the year 1231; permanent settlement should have taken place around the year 900. According to investigations by the local homeworker, the village brook "Beberbach" gave it its name, according to other opinions a village founder named "Bevo".

Until 1564 there was a branch "Klein-Bevenrode" ("Lütteken Bevenrode", today located in the Grassel district), which then became " desolate ". Not far from there is an artificial mound (called "Hüneberg" or "Hünenburg") as the last remnant of a former tower hill castle from the 12th century. Traces of the former flood ditch were determined by means of geophysical measurements in 2008 in a school project.

Only in 1705/06 was Bevenrode with the villages Waggum and Bienrode finally assigned to the Duchy of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel after changing territorial affiliations from the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg. From this time until the Napoleonic occupation it belonged to the Neubrück office. From 1807 to 1812, French rule fundamentally changed the old administrative context. During this time Bevenrode belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia (seat in Kassel), District Braunschweig, Department Oker, Canton Wendhausen. After that, the district court (from 1832 district office) Riddagshausen was responsible, from 1946 it was then part of the Braunschweig district.

The parish of Bevenrode (belonging to the provost of Königslutter) also comprised the parishes of Waggum (from 1568) and Bienrode (1642 to 1965) for a few centuries until 1970, so it extended temporarily from Beberbach to Schunter. From 1970 the seat of the Waggum / Bevenrode parish association was relocated to Waggum. In 2015 Michael Gerloff replaced Konstantin Dedekind, who had been in office for almost 20 years, as acting pastor.

The first statistical record of the place comes from the year 1758: Bevenrode had 1 farmyard, 3 Halbspännerhöfe, 7 Großkötherhöfe, 1 Brincksitzerhof, church, rectory, parsonage widow's house, shepherd's house, school. 14 horses, 174 head of cattle, 74 pigs, 113 sheep, 30 cattle stocks. The population will have been around 100. At that time it did not differ much in size from the surrounding villages. While many villages grew rapidly in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the population of Bevenrode stagnated and with 208 inhabitants in 42 households in 30 residential buildings in 1880, it was one of the smallest villages in the district for several decades.

Like many other communities, Bevenrode received a larger population increase after the Second World War through the acceptance of numerous refugees from the former German eastern areas. The population grew from 252 (in 1939) to 453 (in 1950). Due to the large construction area Bevenrode-Nord (since 1999), the number has recently increased from 870 (1992) to 1561 (2013). The building area "Am Pfarrgarten" is currently under development, in which 37 further residential units are being built.

Since the dissolution of the Braunschweig district on March 1, 1974, Bevenrode lost its independence as a municipality and became a district of the city of Braunschweig. The district of Bevenrode is recorded there as statistical district No. 65 and belonged to the village Waggum-Bevenrode from March 1, 1974 to November 1, 1981, then to the (old) city district 112 (Bienrode-Waggum-Bevenrode). On November 1, 2011, after fierce political debates, the old districts 112 (Bienrode-Waggum-Bevenrode) and 111 (Wabe-Schunter) were merged to form the new district of Wabe-Schunter-Beberbach, which includes the districts of Bienrode, Waggum, Bevenrode, Querum, Gliesmarode and Riddagshausen.

As a compensation measure for the deforestation to expand the airport and other construction measures, large parts of the Bevenroder Feldmark are currently being afforested.

Buildings

The Romanesque village church of St. Peter and Paul, whose foundation walls and lower church tower layers date from around 1170, is of particular architectural historical importance for Bevenrode. A fundamental renovation took place in the years 1864 to 1877. One of the two Bevenroder communion goblets is one of the oldest in the entire region.

In 1802, after the fire in the previous building, the “old parsonage”, which is now a listed building, was built. In 2002 it was gutted, rebuilt and converted. The upper floor is rented, the lower floor belongs to the parish and is used by the Bevenrode local library, other areas are available for various local gatherings and for public events such as elections and district council meetings.

Economy and Infrastructure

In local public transport, Bevenrode is served by bus lines 424 and 413. Since November 15, 2010, the expansion of the Braunschweig-Wolfsburg airport and the associated capping of Grasseler Straße have resulted in a changed traffic route to reach the districts of Querum and Gliesmarode and the eastern ring area of ​​the city of Braunschweig.

The primary school in charge has been the Waggum primary school since 1969, to which there is a bus service. For small children there has been the Evangelical Lutheran kindergarten in Bevenrode since 1969 with 35 places in the building of the former “new school”.

Events and clubs

Regular events include the “Brunnenfest” around the church, which is organized by the parish and several associations, a “yard and barn festival” at the local home keeper (both since 2002 after the last village restaurant was closed) and an “Advent market” around around the church. In cooperation with the local associations, larger folk festivals take place from time to time for special anniversaries.

As clubs and communities, the volunteer fire brigade Bevenrode from 1874, the Siedlerbund from 1961 (in the VWE Verband Wohneigentum), the sports community (SG) Bevenrode from 1963, the Förderverein Fußball Bevenrode eV (FFB eV) from 2010, the senior district Bevenrode, the team of the “Living Advent Calendar”, the “Cafe in the Parish Garden / Cafe by the Fireplace” and some other groups are active.

Bevenrode has had its own homepage on the Internet since October 2002: www.bevenrode-online.de. Webmaster is Klaus Neumann.

Marginalia

The Bevenroderinnen Dr. Christiane Blass on "Wer wird Millionär" in January 2004 and Brigitta Kottwitz in February 2017 on "Shopping Queen". The cemetery of Bevenrode is mentioned in Thommie Bayer's 2005 book “Singvogel” . The tanker "Bevenrode", built in 1970 by the Hamburg shipping company Fluvia Tankrode, operates on the European inland canals with a gross register of 1152 tons.

coat of arms

The coat of arms shows a silver tree trunk in the upper half and below a zigzag line on a red shield.

The tree stump symbolizes the clearing work carried out by the first settlers in the then densely forested area. The zigzag bar comes from the coat of arms of the von Campe family . In the 14th century they were the feudal lords of 15 Bevenroder farms and from 1601 the entire village was under them.

On November 19, 1979, the coat of arms designed by Arnold Rabbow was unanimously confirmed by the Waggum-Bevenrode local council responsible at the time, after several proposals had been voted on in the village.
