Bodenburg is a former spot , today a southern district of Bad Salzdetfurth , Hildesheim district in Lower Saxony .

geography

Bodenburg is located in the East Westphalian and Lower Saxony mountain and hill country about 20 km southeast of Hildesheim. It lies on the western slope of the Ohe and the Rhoden, which slopes towards the Riehe. The western horizon is bounded by the Sackwald and to the northwest the Hildesheim Forest begins with the Tosmar Mountains. The hillside location of Bodenburg and the many springs in the area made the place a favorable settlement area.

history

The ground castle was first mentioned in a document in 1142 in a document from the Hildesheim bishop. The von Steinberg family resident there were very influential and had income from trading in salt from Salzdetfurth and the tithe of the lands they owned. Occasionally, the knights of the Bodenburg attacked merchants as robber barons and robbed them. As a result, they were regularly involved in feuds and often found themselves in financial difficulties as a result. On June 15, 1359, the von Steinberg family entered the service of the Brunswick dukes and from then on they were in constant dispute with the Hildesheim bishops . This led to the fact that trade and commerce, which were the only source of income besides the low income from arable land, were made considerably more difficult by restrictions and double concession payments. The majority of the fields belonged to the Bodenburger Gut, so that the citizens were only given a basic supply. In 1675 Bodenburg was granted market rights and has since been called "Flecken Bodenburg". With the marriage of the last heir daughter of the Counts von Steinberg, the estate passed to the Barons von Cramm in 1905 , who still manage it today. In the years 1836, 1841, 1844 and 1867 large parts of the village burned down.

The Bodenburg volunteer fire brigade was founded by a few men in 1872, making it one of the oldest volunteer fire brigades in the Hildesheim district. The reason for the establishment of the fire brigade in Flecken Bodenburg remains in the dark. Local caretaker Sylvia Köneke suspects that in addition to a fire in 1867, the purchase of the first steam engine in the Beuleckeschen tannery in Bodenburg in 1871 was a trigger for the establishment. It is also known that the Duchy of Braunschweig, to which Bodenburg belonged as an exclave, had the first volunteer fire brigades. In the surrounding villages belonging to the diocese of Hildesheim, the organization of the volunteer fire brigades took place later (for example in Bad Salzdetfurth in 1892). The Bodenburg fire brigade already had a hand pressure syringe available in the year it was founded. As early as 1874, eleven comrades founded a brass band.

At the beginning of the 20th century, Bodenburg had 1063 inhabitants.

Until 1941, Bodenburg belonged together with Östrum to the state of Braunschweig and was then reclassified to the Prussian province of Hanover .

The separation of citizens and those dependent on the estate resulted in a division of the village, which resulted in two churches and two schools. The majority of the residents are of the Evangelical Lutheran denomination.

On March 1, 1974, the patch Bodenburg was incorporated into the city of Bad Salzdetfurth.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In silver, a red ibex walking to the left, holding up an upright blue key with its beard turned towards the front with its front legs". The red ibex goes back to the coat of arms of the Lords of Steinberg , who come from the nobility of the Hildesheim and Guelph territories. In the early 14th century, they were fiefdoms of the Hildesheim monastery and, since 1359, the Brunswick dukes for the castle in Bodenburg. The model for the key can be found in a lattice in St. John's Church. The coat of arms was approved by the Minister of the Interior in 1951 .

Culture and sights

The historic town center is formed by a moated castle from the 11th century and two rows of half-timbered houses arranged in a T-shape .

Bodenburg Castle

  • The castle went from a medieval castle and later surge to keep out.
  • The palace park is located to the west and north of the west wing of the palace. It is a landscape park that was restored in 2006 and was designed based on the English model. Rare trees and shrubs are grouped around a central pond, on the peninsula of which historical tomb relief panels have been placed around a central monument.
  • The so-called art building in the castle courtyard was built in 1857 as a farm building on the outer bailey of Bodenburg Castle. An earlier use of the barn led to the popular name bull barn . The building is unusual because of its mighty arched roof, which was given the catchy term saddle swing roof by the Hildesheim monument conservator Martin Thumm . Structurally, it is a rare "pseudo-plank roof". For the lengthy repair and conversion of the building gave the Lower Saxony Savings Bank Foundation in 1999 the price for preservation .1998, the building was as art building in the castle courtyard in Bodenburg the Kunstverein Bad Salzdetfurth dedicated since 2009, it is owned by the Foundation Arts building courtyard Bodenburg . The first exhibition cycle with international participation was dedicated to animal species. In 2004 a second cycle began, which thematized the five human sensory organs, mouth, ear, hand, nose and eye. All exhibitions were designed and organized by the curator Hans-Oiseau Kalkmann . There were also solo exhibitions by Antoinette, Owusu-Ankomah, Hans Hendrik Grimmling, Franziska Rutishauser, Susanne Ritter, Petrus Wandrey , Kurt Schwerdtfeger , Ingolf Timpner, Sacha Tröger, Hans-Oiseau Kalkmann and others. When there is no exhibition, concerts, such as the Lower Saxony Music Days , and other cultural events take place in the art building .
  • The modern artist's studio with Corten steel facades by the sculptor Hans-Oiseau Kalkmann from 2007 is on the outer bailey and opposite the art building ; The architect was the builder's son, Jens Kalkmann.

Churches and school

  • The Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Johannis with baroque furnishings is in front of the Sehlemer Tor. Its name, with reference to John the Baptist, indicates that its predecessor chapel was built in the 9th century.
  • The church square in front of St. Johanni was created in three contact art actions (1989–1992) by the sculptor Hans-Oiseau Kalkmann and the architect Jens Kalkmann from Vanga granite. On the circular square, the names of the twelve apostles can be found in the inner circle in relief or in full plastic. The outer circle is formed by four sculptures depicting the four evangelists. A 13th depiction of the apostles is located on the square, which is unique in the world. It is Junia who is identified as an apostle in the Gospel of John and who was included in the design at the suggestion of Uta Ranke-Heinemann .
  • The Roman Catholic Church of St. Laurentius was built in 1826 in the classicism style as a Protestant church at its current location on Salzdetfurther Straße and left to the Catholic Church in 1974. Today it belongs to the parish of St. Gallus in Detfurth .
  • Former primary and secondary school as a clinker and half-timbered building on a red natural stone base from 1905, since 1985 as a residential house and architecture office "K25" in private ownership

Bike path to art

The cycle path to art goes back to the initiative of the sculptor and former teacher Hans-Werner Kalkmann. From the Ruthe junction at the Innerstem estuary it connects the towns of Sarstedt, Giesen, Hildesheim, Bad Salzdetfurth, Bodenburg, Lamspringe and Bad Gandersheim, where it meets the Leine-Heide cycle path again. The five partial routes are named Water-Art-Path, Romanesque-Path, Contact-Art-Path, Art-beWEGt.Weg and Sculpture-Path.

Contact Art Path

On the section Kontakt-Kunst-Weg in Flecken Bodenburg, the sculpture ensemble in front of St. John's Church (with twelve apostones made of Vangagranite) was created during the 27th Kontakt-Kunst-Aktion in 1989. In 1990 two additional evangelists (lion for Mark and eagle for John) were set up. In 1992, in the 31st contact art campaign, the sculpture Junia, the 13th Apostle is a woman (patron: Jutta Ranke-Heinemann) with the labyrinth stone in the middle of the church square was created.

In 1993 local artists, supported by students from Poland, Hungary, Romania and Germany, worked on the sculpture made of Carrara marble with the title The GRENZSTEIN - the symbol of what separates as a sign of understanding . This action was sponsored by the former Federal Foreign Minister Klaus Kinkel . The location is the former railway embankment on the boundary between Bodenburg and Sehlem.

As part of the 34th Kontakt-Kunst-Aktion (1995), Hans-Werner Kalkmann created a water sculpture called The Third Ear out of marble with the participation of many citizens of Hinter dem Hagen . This fountain is the sixth station on the Bodenburg ecological water educational trail.

In the course of the necessary renewal of the rainwater pipe from Wanneweg to Kuckucksweg in 1997, it turned out that there was a filled-in well in front of the house at Kirchstrasse 21. In the 37th Kontakt-Kunst-Aktion, a new fountain was created from Swedish granite, which is called the fountain wave because of its shape .

In 2004 the Kontakt-Kunst tent stood in front of the elementary school on Bruderstieg. The MOUTH SCULPTURE was created here from granite in a six-week campaign . During this time, pupils in grades 1 to 4 were able to work reliefs made of sandstone, on which they represented the human sensory organs: eyes, nose, ear, hand and mouth. These stone slabs are laid as a line in the pavement in front of the school.

Bodenburg ecological water educational trail

The Bodenburg patch is located in a geological situation that arose in the Upper Oligocene. The place owes its abundance of water to her. The local sculptor Hans-Werner Kalkmann took up the local water situation and designed the Bodenburg ecological water trail. The patron was the former environment minister of Lower Saxony Monika Griefahn , who inaugurated the path in 1995. The path has 17 stations and leads through a varied landscape. Each display board refers to the water situation at the location. There is a booklet accompanying the path.

Economy and Infrastructure

societies

There are several clubs in Bodenburg, including a fire brigade music train (music train of the Bodenburg volunteer fire brigade from 1874 eV), which is the oldest in Lower Saxony, and the KKS Bodenburg shooting club. An association called "Free Bad Bodenburg" takes care of the maintenance of the open-air swimming pool as an interest group.

traffic

From Bodenburg on the L 493 state road to Bockenem and from there to the motorway junction 62 on the A 7 (Hanover – Kassel) it is 11 km. It is 20 km to Hildesheim on the L 490.

Bodenburg was until the 1970s a branch line node where the railway line Elze-Bodenburg on Lamme Valley Railway met Hildesheim Bad Salzdetfurth-Bad Gandersheim. Today there is only the connection in the direction of Hildesheim .

When the timetable changed on December 14, 2003, the Eurobahn took over local rail passenger transport on the Hildesheim-Bodenburg route. At the same time, a new terminus was inaugurated, which replaces the old train station with the elimination of a level crossing and enables direct transfers to the buses in the direction of Bockenem and Lamspringe-Bad Gandersheim. NordWestBahn has been operating the transport since December 2011 .
