history

The Blumlage is the oldest suburb of Celle. At first it was a village in the area of ​​Mauernstrasse-Großer Plan-Bergstrasse. We receive the oldest news about the Blumlage at the beginning of the 14th century, although city chronicler Clemens Cassel (1850–1925) suggested that the settlement close to the south wall of the city might already have existed before Celle (Neucelle) was built was.

The provost and convent of Wienhausen stated in a document dated June 23, 1308 that the compensation to be paid to the provost for holding the broadcast court in Celle instead of Wienhausen had been prescribed to two houses on the market. The first mention of “de Blomenlage” appears in the document.

Duke Otto von Braunschweig and Lüneburg founded the Vicarie of the Holy Cross in the church in Celle with a document dated June 24, 1325, donated the same annual income from customs in Celle and exempted the goods given to her in Altencelle ("Oldent cell"), Westercelle ( "Westertzelle") and Blumlage ("Blomelage") of feudal and soft image obligation with the consent of his sons Otto and Wilhelm and the council of Celle. Of this document, only the confirmation by Duke Wilhelm of Braunschweig and Lüneburg of November 25, 1364 is available today.

Apparently, Clawes de honesche owned a house and a word there, which is called: “Clawes de honesche eyn hus vnnd eyne worth vp der Blomelage vnnd all Jare vif luneborgher schillinge, de worth dar de vorbenomede here Dyderick vppe woneth by the olden vlutemanschen gaff Ruseke. "

In a document dated June 12, 1354, Ludeke Blomenlage ("ludeke blomenlaghe"), citizen of Celle, is mentioned.

Segeband van dem Brede and his wife Mechthild gave the Vicarie St. Gertrudis in Celle a house on June 24, 1376 on the Blumlage. The brothers Ernst, Otto and Hartmann Bodendorp donated a memorial for their parents on May 1, 1389 with a farm on the Blumlage at the St. Gertrudis altar.

From November 12, 1381 to May 31, 1382, the Vogt Segeband Voss recorded the ducal income at Celle Castle. Among those liable for interest was Simon vd Blomenlage, who was listed individually between the villages of Osterloh and Burg:

Borch Ranse IIIIor mark hilleke IIIIor ß
Symon van der blomelage VIII ß van lande.

In another directory from 1383/84 we learn from a Meier zu Blumlage (“den meyger vpper hoppenborch vnde blomelaghe to keklende”).

In 1392, the Hildesheim Bishop Gerhard gave permission to build the St. Georg infirmary. The customs officer Manecke wrote: “Although the St Jürgen Hospital is at the end of the suburb, the flower location, it is under the city administration and jurisdiction. Perhaps it is that which B. Gerhard zu Hildesheim granted the city of Neucelle permission to build in 1392. It has its own church, which is the parish church for the flower location. "

The council of Celle documented on January 25, 1408 the foundation of a memorial in the town church by Hinrich Tolner, provost of Ebstorf ("Ebbekestorpe", see the paragraph after next), and his aunt Sophie. In it Tolner's property "uppe der lutken Blomelage" was addressed: "ene kotstede, hus and hoff prove uppe der lutken Blomelage in front of the Stendore, dar ichteswanne Roggeleff uppe gewonet hadde, dat eyne mark to tynse plecht to gevende ..."

The Altenceller Vorstadt shooting association traces its origins back to 1428, but there is no more detailed information about this. From around 1430 there is a list of those liable for interest in the Sluterie Celle ( Burgvogtei Celle ). It says:

Item tyns vppe of the blomelage.

Item hermans bischup viij s (8 s.)
Item dedit hans soltaw ij s (2 s.)
Item Ebkestorpes hus xs (10 s.)
Item dedit leneke vs (5 s.)

Item gert haselhorstes hus ix s (9 s.)
Item de rodesche viij s (8 s.)

With a certificate dated May 10, 1464, Otto, Duke of Braunschweig and Lüneburg, granted the citizens of Celle and the residents of the Blumlage the right that only they were allowed to build granaries on the Blumlage and in the vicinity of Celle .

Around 1530, the Blumlage was incorporated into the expansion of the city of Celle and the Blumläger (Braunschweiger) Gate, which stood at the intersection of Post, Wall and Rundestrasse, was demolished. The residents of the Blumlage had to undergo, as far as they were ducal servants, a relocation of their residence in front of the Altenceller Tor. The settlement that arose as a result continued the old name. The structure of the current Blumlage still indicates that this suburb owes its existence to a mass transfer of people who had to set up the houses according to a certain plan.

Its core lies on the site beyond the old Blumläger churchyard to the so-called Kamp, the former ducal kitchen garden . Later settlers settled further towards the city. On this side there were houses that were called “new” and were subject to a special tax rate by the state government . In 1631 there were already 68 such new buildings in the Blumlage and Masch. There was “no doubt” to Clemens Cassel that both were originally special settlements, of which the latter was the older, built before 1530, but also the less important; only when the number of residents there was increased by seven bourgeois families in 1637 did it acquire historical significance.

politics

The Blumlage / Altstadt local council has nine members (3 CDU , 3 SPD , 1 FDP , 1 Greens , 1 independent).

Local mayor is Tim Übermuth (CDU).

Buildings, culture and sights

The district offers an abundance of sights, especially due to the undamaged old town:

  • The town church was consecrated as St. Mary's Church in 1308 . It contains the tombs of the Celle dukes.
  • The Catholic Ludwig Church from 1838
  • The Blumläger St. George Church with the church interior built in 1652 next to an older chapel, the tower was only built in 1892.
  • The synagogue was built in 1740 as a half-timbered building and has served as a place of worship for the New Jewish Community since 1997.
  • Celle Castle , which is surrounded by the castle park , was converted from an older castle complex into a ducal seat in the 14th century. From 1530, it was converted into a renaissance castle, and between 1665 and 1705 it was finally given its predominantly baroque style.
  • The old town hall was built in 1292 under Duke Otto the Strict when building the town of Celle. It was expanded further in the 14th and 16th centuries.
  • The New Town Hall was made available to the Hanoverian Infantry Regiment No. 77 in 1873 as the "Large Infantry Barracks". Since 1999 the so-called Heidekaserne has served the Celle city administration as the town hall.
