history

The place name

Memorial stone 800 years of Bledeln

The first written mention is from 1160. Ulrich and Friedrich von Bledeln (Odelricus et Frithericus de Blitehenim), a resident noble family, appear as witnesses when the Lamspringe monastery in Breinum confirms that they had acquired a property . The two are listed as followers (viri) of Count Berenger and Friedrich von Poppenburg .

In a document from the year 1205 Bledeln is mentioned, here the abbot Dietrich of the Hildesheim Michaeliskloster had four solidi incomes in Blethenem, which were due on the day of the beheading of John the Baptist. In the following time the place name Bledhenem (1246), Bledennem (1265), Bledenem (1277), Bledenum (1382) and Bledelem (1562), later the spelling 'Bledeln' prevails.

One assumption is that the place name 'Bledeln' belongs to the place names with the basic word 'heim', the age of which is controversial. In the Hildesheim area these place names belong to the older ones, they originated in the first centuries after Christ. The defining word of 'Bledeln' is apparently an old first name 'Blede' or 'Bledel'. The meaning would therefore be 'Heim des Blede (Bledel)'.

The noble family of Bledeln

The aforementioned Ulrich von Bledeln, from the von Bledeln family , appears again as a witness in the sale of three Hufen land in Lobke to the Moritzstift in 1189, and in the end he is mentioned in a document from 1204; but his son with the same name is already exercising the right to dispose of the family property by selling 60 acres of land in Klein-Algermissen for 34 silver marks to St. Andrew's Church in Hildesheim. The name of his father is only used to identify Ulrich II. Accordingly, this will have already died. Johannes and Konrad von Bledeln, Ulrich II's brothers, simultaneously waived their rights to the two hooves they sold.

Still a thriving clan in 1267 , they suddenly disappear into the darkness of history. What could have been the reason for this? It is seldom possible to find out more about the demise of a noble house from that time. However, it can be assumed that the von Bledeln perished during the fighting that broke out between the young Bishop Otto and his brothers, the Guelph Dukes, after 1267. Twelve years later, the area was particularly hard hit.

The Hassel, court of justice - Goding

Within the boundaries of the Bledelner Feldmark there is a forest in the northwest, the Hassel. It is on the top of a flat hill that is up to 103 m above sea level. NHN raises. Goding was probably held here for centuries in Old Saxon times .

The court of the king also took place here under the presidency of the count appointed by him, as one inferred from the field name "King's chair" for the old border strip that stretches from the north-eastern tip of the grove in a northerly direction. This name can be found in the border descriptions of the Coldingen-Ruthe office in the 16th and 17th centuries. The royal court, however, was limited to the period from around 800 to 1200, while the goding sat around 250 years longer.

The inhabitants from the area between Bruchgraben and Warmbüchener Moor of the Leine and the Aue appeared to the neat thing. The places Anecampe (desert town between Bemerode and Hanover), Anderten , Höver , Bilm , Döhren , Laatzen , Grasdorf , Wülferode , Evern , Rethmar , Sehnde , Müllingen , Oesselse , Gleidingen , Sarstedt , Helperde ( desert near Sarstedt), Gödringen are attested , Hotteln , Bledeln, Lühnde , Ummeln and Bolzum .

Today there are from old documents still mainly conveyance certificates partly those of real estate, in significant size. For example, in 1386 the whole village of Evern on the Hassel was abandoned with a tenth of the value for which the von Salder had sold it to the cathedral chapter. Count Simon von Dassel also stated that the goods that he handed over to the Sültekloster in 1325 were in the Goding area.

A list from around 1490 about the Freiding Lühnde shows that the court that "concerned the throat and the people" was also held on the Hassel. But civil suits were also decided on the Goding. This dish on the Hassel was the decisive authority in the 14th and 15th centuries. Other courts such as Freiding , Meierding and Holzding were responsible for special matters.

The goding on the Hassel existed until about the end of the 15th century. Its powers then passed to the regional courts, of which the inheritance register of 1682 Sarstedt, Ruthe and Steinwedel was listed.

The desert of Loppenstedt

During the later Middle Ages a number of villages in the area around Bledeln were abandoned by their inhabitants. Examples are: Oldendorf and Helperde near Sarstedt, Delm between Heisede and Hotteln, Bockum north of Oesselse, Nienstedt near Algermissen, Kleinsehnde east of Bolzum, Gilgen near Haimar, Anecampe near Bemerode and finally Loppenstedt 1.5 km south of Bledeln. These are at the time of the frequent feuds of the 14./15. Century, when the disputes were mainly fought out by robbery, burning and pillage in the opposing villages, has been abandoned by its desperate residents as mentioned above. The small villages, which perhaps had only a dozen farms, could not afford the oppressed inhabitants sufficient protection; Therefore, after the recurring damage to body, life and property, they finally either sought refuge behind secure city walls, or moved to larger neighboring villages, which were given them by a larger number of defenders or - as in Lühnde and probably Bledeln - by the protection of Wall and digging provided greater security.

Second World War

On August 13, 1941, during an air raid on Hanover, high-explosive bombs fell on Bledeln. There was one fatality and five injured, a barn and two homes were destroyed. On February 10, 1944, four people were injured when one explosive bomb and 30 incendiary bombs were dropped. A barn was completely destroyed and some houses were damaged. On February 19, 1944, an English bomber crashed not far from Bledeln and exploded, creating a funnel 17 m deep. Several of his high explosive and incendiary bombs hit the village and caused considerable damage. All roofs in Bledeln were badly damaged and numerous windows were destroyed. A barn burned down completely, as did the roof of a stable.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In silver, a raised, curly, rising, red tip , covered with an upright tree branch ,struckon both sides,three times on the right and twice on the left."

Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms is borrowed from the history of the village. However, it did not come from the von Bledeln family, who appeared between 1160 and 1284 and who were wealthy in the village. Unfortunately, a seal of this family has not been preserved. Rather, it is based on the family coat of arms of the von Weichs and Lenthe, who, together with those of Bülow, exercised patronage rights to the church of Bledeln since the beginning of the 17th century. The von Weichs family wore a black lace on a silver shield. The von Lenthe family led a blue tree branch in a shield, which was also silver. Silver was therefore chosen as the basic color for the municipal coat of arms, covered with the Weichs' tip and the Lentheschen tree branch was drawn on it. However, the tip was colored red and the branch gold.
