Location of Bomlitz in the Heidekreis

Bomlitz is a former municipality in the Heidekreis district in Lower Saxony ( Germany ), northeast of Walsrode . Its core area was characterized by industry and the rest of the parts more by its location in a mostly rural tourist area. Bomlitz has been part of the city of Walsrode since January 1, 2020. The zip code 29699 was retained for the area of ​​the former municipality of Bomlitz.

geography

Geographical location

The municipality Bomlitz was located in the southwest of Lüneburg Heath between the cities of Hamburg , Bremen and Hanover , to which (as a regional center ) it is oriented.

structure

Bomlitz core area
Core area Benefeld

The municipality Bomlitz was divided into eight districts.

It was created in the course of two mergers of earlier communities. In 1968 Benefeld , Bomlitz (with Westerharl), Borg (with Cordingen, today Borg / Cordingen ) and Uetzingen (with Elferdingen and Wenzingen) merged to form the greater municipality of Bomlitz. In the course of the community reform , which came into force on March 1, 1974, Ahrsen with the forest village Löverschen, Bommelsen with Beck and Dehnbostel, Jarlingen and Kroge with Hasberg and Klein-Harl were added.

The core area formed the youngest districts Bomlitz and Benefeld. The rural community of Bomlitz was formed in 1928 from the Bomlitz manor district and the Wisselshorst state forest (then around 1000 inhabitants). In 1952 Benefeld broke away from the municipal association with Westerharl and became an independent municipality.

A merger of the municipality of Bomlitz with the cities of Bad Fallingbostel and Walsrode to form the city of Böhmetal was planned for 2011 . To this end, a citizens' survey took place on November 2, 2008 , in which the citizens of Bomlitz and Walsrode approved the plans, while the citizens of Bad Fallingbostel rejected the merger. The parliamentary groups in the Bomlitz community then sought a merger with Walsrode.

In May 2017, concrete negotiations were started between the municipality of Bomlitz and the city of Walsrode on a merger of the two municipalities. The merger of the two municipalities on January 1, 2020 was decided in October 2018.

Neighboring communities

The districts of Bomlitz bordered the areas of four cities: in the south-west on Walsrode , in the south-east on Bad Fallingbostel , in the north-east on Soltau and in the north-west on Visselhövede .

Natural space and natural landscape

Eibia / Lohheide recreation area

The Böhme , the westernmost of the larger rivers of the Südheide and the natural longitudinal axis of the Heidekreis district, flows through the area . Its largest tributaries, the Bomlitz and the Warnau , flow through the municipality from the northwest and from the north and flow into the Böhme in the Eibia / Lohheide recreation area between the villages of Borg and Uetzingen. Similar to the middle Bohemia, they cut strikingly narrow valleys into the gently undulating plateaus and thus give the natural area of ​​the Walsroder loam geest (also called Fallingbosteler loam plates ) its typical character.

The southern area has a moving relief in the valleys of Böhme, Bomlitz, Warnau, Engelbach and Rieselbach. The narrow valley floors with grassland or alder stands are flanked by wooded or wooded slopes on which smaller villages and individual farm groups are located. The loamy parts of the plateaus are used for agriculture and the sandy ones are forested. Moist depressions are occupied by boggy grassland.

In the northern area the upper reaches of Bomlitz and Warnau are only slightly sunk. The valleys are alternately occupied by woods near the farm, valley meadows and fish ponds . Pine-rich forests with smaller heather and moor areas, which were once barren common areas , are connected to the fields that are mostly directly adjacent here . The former royal forest of Wisselshorst in the east of the municipality is an exception, the forest of which was near-natural until the end of the Second World War . It goes to the west into the species-rich forests of the former Bomlitz estate.

The contiguous, built-up area of ​​the districts Bomlitz and Benefeld extends over four kilometers from the southern edge of the Wisselshorst across the valleys of Bomlitz and Warnau to the west.

The natural heights of the terrain vary between 32 m in the southwest above the Rieselbach estuary and 82 m in the north on the Großer Löverschen . The valleys have steep slopes with heights of 10 to 25 meters.

geology

The municipality of Bomlitz was located in a geest landscape that was mainly formed in the penultimate glacial period of the current Ice Age . The subsoil essentially consists of loose material that was deposited and relocated by the inland ice of the Saale glaciation and its meltwater. Only in the south-west do clayey rocks from the Oligocene come close to the surface and in the Borg district and at clay pits near what was once Honerdinger Switzerland cause higher soil moisture and numerous springs. The municipal area is otherwise underlain by the several meters thick ground moraine of the Drenthe I stadium. Above this, the refill sands of the receding ice front follow and then the refill sands of the approaching ice front of the Drenthe II stadium, whose thin ground moraine, rich in coarse debris and boulders, make up today's loamy arable land on the plateaus. In the valleys, this upper ground moraine and the underlying, around 20 meters thick sands have been partially eroded as far as the Drenthe I ground moraine. The course of the valley was partially mapped out by the intersecting straight, flat furrows left by the inland ice.

The ground moraine is overlaid, especially in the higher parts, by a thin sand cover, the numerous wind blow-out hollows of which contain small bogs and shallow flatts . The Bommelsen salt dome is also located in the northern municipal area , above which in the area of ​​the Wisselshorst three earthfall-like depressions with small raised bogs have arisen ( Großes and Kleines Wissahl ) and in the area of ​​the Bomlitz valley several slope bogs.

climate

The municipality Bomlitz lay in the temperate zone ( Cfb the classification of Koppen ); the maritime influence is already declining somewhat in favor of continental climatic characteristics (larger temperature fluctuations).

The average annual temperature is 9 ° C, with maximum values ​​of around 22 ° C in July and August and average minimum values ​​of −2 ° C in January and February. The average most precipitation days are around 12 in December and the fewest in February, September and October with around 9 days each. The average number of hours of sunshine per day varies between one hour (December / January) and seven hours (May / June). The average amount of precipitation is 755 mm / year.

The nearest weather station is around 15 kilometers northeast in Soltau .

history

Center of Bomlitz with "Altwerk" and the steep slope of the Fuchsberg (right)

Origin of name

The place name here does not follow the mostly very old river name as usual, but has modified it retrospectively. The Bomlitz was still called Bommelse in the 18th century (as it is still dialect today ) , from originally Bamlina in the meaning of small tree river as the main tributary of the Böhme , originally Bama , Bumen in the meaning of tree river . This name is followed by the district of Bommelsen, which was mentioned in a document as Bamlinestade ( bank of the Bommelse ) in 835 , while the name Bomlitz is derived from the location at the Talknick, which is located at right angles around the steep Fuchsberg. Possible compensation for the suffix on behalf Bommel- (l) etz are either the Talk Nick himself, rapids or weir ( Letzel ), or an oak base with a Low German designation in the course of the temporary Zetazismus to Eitz had become. The name of this nucleus of the place Bomlitz was later transferred to the water.

History of the rural districts

In the former Bomlitz municipality there are many barrows that, like many artifacts found, date from the Bronze Age . This shows a relatively early settlement for geest areas.

The agricultural villages, which later became districts of Bomlitz, were located away from the earlier regional roads, which mostly ran over the less humid heights such as the Kriegerweg in the east of Bomlitz, and included only a few farms because of the moderately productive soils. The map sheets of the Kurhannoversche Landesaufnahme from 1775 (sheet 38 Neuenkirchen ) and 1778 (sheet 89 Walsrode ), for example, list 7 fire places for Jarl (ingen) and 6 for Westerharl, which corresponds to typical population figures of around 50. The villages of Borg and Uetzingen were closely related to the old Saxon Hünenburg at the mouth of the Warnau.

The area belonged to the Principality of Lüneburg and later to the Electorate of Hanover , from 1815 Kingdom of Hanover . After the German War in 1866, Hanover fell to Prussia . The communities now belonged to the district Fallingbostel in the Lüneburg the new Prussian province of Hannover .

The fragmented hallway was linked during the 19th century . Parts of the impoverished heathland were plowed up with the steam plow at the beginning of the 19th century , partly to arable land, but mostly to forest areas.

  • Jarlingen and Ahrsen are neighboring villages in the upper Warnau valley. The first documentary mention comes from the 11th century. Jarlingen is a small clustered village with later settlement expansion, Ahrsen consists of individual farms in scattered locations. In 1999, a 220-year-old sheepfold was converted into a community center.
  • With its Friedenskirche, which was built until 1930, Bommelsen marks the middle of the loose row of farms and villages along the upper Bomlitztal, which begins with Woltem , which has belonged to Soltau since the municipal reform in 1974 , and extends via Bommelsen, Kleinharl, Kroge and Hasberg to Westerharl. Bommelsen was first mentioned in a document in 835. Its appearance is characterized by well-preserved historical courtyards. Johannes Blaskowitz's grave is in the cemetery .
  • Kroge and Kleinharl are grouped around the short stretch of common course from Bomlitztal and B440, the former road from Visselhövede to Dorfmark . A yard with a "jug" located at the intersection of the old trade and traffic routes is seen as the name giver for the place.
  • Borg and Cordingen form a settlement band along the right side of the lower Warnau valley. Borg is the most compact clustered village in the Bomlitz community and derives its name from the nearby old Saxon castle complex (Hünenburg). Cordingen (1410: Cordinghe) is an old Gogerichtsort (lower, hereditary jurisdiction). The historic Cordingen watermill was first mentioned in 1408.
  • Uetzingen (1069: Udecsineburstalde) used to be the farmyard and Gogericht belonging to Borger Castle. The village is with Elferdingen and Wenzingen the southernmost district of the municipality. The three villages still belonged to the Honerdingen farmers on the opposite side of the Bohemia in the 18th century. In 1810 this peasantry was divided into Honerdingen on the left of the Böhme and Honerdingen on the right of the Böhme because of a new demarcation that was made after the occupation of the Electorate of Hanover by French troops . In 1912 Honerdingen was given the name of the community of Uetzingen on the right of the Bohemian.

History of the core towns of Bomlitz and Benefeld

With the exception of Doppelhof Benefeld in the lower Bomlitztal, the area of ​​today's core towns was deserted until 1681 at a distinctive bend in the then so-called Bommelse Valley, from which the towns of Bomlitz and Benefeld developed a good 200 years later , and thus also the former parish. The paper mill on the Bommelse , built by the wealthy papermaker Gabriel Pfuhl, traded as Bomlitz according to the watermark . In 1770 the large company was destroyed by floods. The renewed destruction in 1774 meant its end; In 1778 the Kurhannoversche Landesaufnahme only documents residential and stable buildings.

Bomlitz manor district with Wolff & Co. plants in 1903 and during the First World War

Efforts for new concessions failed until 1815 the new construction as a powder mill under the direction of Dr. Leschen from Hanover was approved. After its completion in 1824, it was taken over by Walsrode co-owner August Wolff.

The need for additional dams for mills for black powder production led to the purchase of land along the Bomlitz, which resulted in the Bomlitz estate , which already encompasses around 330 hectares around 1850 . The company expanded steadily, now under the name Wolff & Co. , developed worldwide trade relationships, bought the competing Fallingbosteler pulverizer and gradually became a company in the chemical industry from 1877, initially with the production of gun cotton . The continued important powder production led to a strong expansion of the factory facilities during the First World War . After the war there was an extensive switch to civilian products.

The old administration building of the Wolff company (August-Wolff-Straße)

The development of the core town of Bomlitz was almost identical to the history of the plant in the 19th century. Initially, most of the apartments were factory-owned, their number rose from 60 in 1905 (estate area) to 168 in 1945.

The Bomlitz manor district, spun off from the municipality of Westerharl in 1883, was converted into a municipality in 1928. At the beginning of the 1920s, the town center was built with the still distinctive buildings of the main administration, the social building, the main gatekeeper and the single home, later also restaurants, a festival and dining room, a soccer field, a swimming pool, tennis courts and others. Some of the buildings from this period have an emphatically urban architecture and some are under monument protection. In 1916, Bomlitz got a railway connection via the 3.6 kilometer long and steeply steep Cordingen-Bomlitz railway . It was the first electrified railway line in what is now Lower Saxony ( overhead line dismantled in 1979).

Another decisive factor for the development of the former municipality was the establishment of a plant with an extensive rail and road network for the production of nitrocellulose and other explosives by Eibia GmbH , a subsidiary of Wolff & Co , in the mid-1930s . Up to 8,000 people worked at peak times in production and in setting up the facilities and accommodation for the workers. The place Benefeld was created with the construction of works manager and master apartments as well as settlements for the workers, today's quarters Mühlenhofsiedlung , Lohheide north and south . The barracks of the stone camp or of Bomlitz-Kiebitzort have been torn down today. In addition to the Eibia camps, there was also a subcamp of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp for a period of six weeks . Settlements were also built in the surrounding towns to accommodate the large number of workers (initially volunteers, later mainly forced laborers and prisoners of war). After the war, the free living space was used by the numerous refugees . While the core of the population remained in Bomlitz, Benefeld received almost new residents. Over 4,000 people, significantly more than in Bomlitz, lived in the Benefeld camps at that time. In the course of time, many ethnic German repatriates from Eastern Europe also moved to Bomlitz.

Center of Bomlitz with industrial plants

Since then, today's unfavorable bipolar structure of the municipality of Bomlitz has emerged, which (in addition to typical rivalries) has meant that no town center could establish itself that is appropriate for a resident population of this size. Temporary efforts to find a common town center in the Bomlitztal were opposed to land issues, renovation costs and nature conservation. Only the forest pool and the school center are in the middle of and above the Bomlitztal. In addition, there is an unfavorable internal traffic structure, especially in the north-west of the four-kilometer-long contiguous core area of ​​Bomlitz, which leads to internal minimal driving distances of up to six kilometers.

These structural disadvantages resulting from the industrially dominated local development were for a long time compensated for by high commercial tax revenues, thanks to which Bomlitz was able to develop into an efficient municipality with numerous municipal facilities. This changed in 2007, however, when the company, renamed Wolff Walsrode AG in 1974, became a business unit of Dow Chemical , now DuPont de Nemours , under the name Dow Wolff Cellulosics . In 2008 the municipality received the title Place of Diversity awarded by the federal government .

Architectural monuments

Former Bomlitz station with museum car
The Weltvogelpark Walsrode is known as the largest bird park in the world
The Cordinger Mühle on the Warnau with the fish passage in the foreground

In the upper valleys of Bomlitz and Warnau in particular, courtyards typical of the Lüneburg Heath have been preserved with typical outbuildings such as bakeries and stairwells . The monuments are in the list of monuments in Bomlitz . In the districts of Bomlitz and Benefeld, on the other hand, the early days of industrialization and various types of industrial settlements are structurally documented. Of particular importance is the ensemble of the Cordinger Mühle, restored by the community, with largely functional mechanics.

On the site of the former Bomlitz railway station, which is on a slope, some historic rail vehicles can be viewed in the area of ​​an old locomotive shed.

Soil monuments

On a heather-covered ridge above the lowest Warnau valley lies a Bronze Age barrow field. A little further to the south lies the Hünenburg in the district of Borg , the remaining ramparts of an old Saxon castle complex on a spur of the terrain at the confluence of Böhme and Warnau. It is associated with the founding of the Walsrode monastery . Further north, on the southern outskirts of Benefeld, there is another barrow field.

Attractions

The Walsrode World Bird Park in the southwest of the former municipality is known as the largest bird park in the world. About 4,000 birds from over 650 species live on the 24 hectare site.

The Borg Archaeological Trail is located in the south of the municipality . It leads through a Bronze Age barrow field on a hill of the Lohheide and to the Hünenburg at the mouth of the Warnau.

The archaeological hiking trail is also one of the entrances to the Eibia-Lohheide recreation area , which includes the hilly forest and heath area on both sides of the lower Bomlitz and Warnau. The former Eibia ammunition factory used the hills far away from the groundwater for their partly underground facilities. Few forest-lined flat roof buildings are still preserved.

In the southeast of the district, Bomlitz has a share in the Tietlinger juniper grove around the Lönsgrab , which is almost on the former border with Walsrode.

The Cordinger Mühle is located on the Warnau-Ufer in Benefeld , a picturesque watermill over 600 years old with a mill yard (miller's house and bakery) and ponds. The facility, which was restored in the 1980s, is one of the most valuable historical buildings in the Heidekreis district. Today the mill is used for civil weddings and rented out for celebrations.

natural reserve

Lönsgrab nature reserve

Bomlitz has a share in the nature reserves :

  • Ottinger Ochsenmoor (NSG LÜ 253; 103 of 275 ha), a group of partly drained raised bogs with birch-pine stands and swinging lawns
  • Lönsgrab (NSG LÜ 005; 3 of 14 ha), a hilly heather and juniper area ( Tietlinger Wacholderhain ) with Löns tombstone and Löns monument

The following are protected as natural monuments:

  • European beech east of Bommelsen (ND SFA 005)
  • Ilex (holly, pod) west of Bommelsen (ND SFA 006), which is referred to as the largest in Northern Germany

The valleys of the Böhme, Warnau and lower Bomlitz are under landscape protection .

The Cordinger Mühlenstau has been passable for fish since 2010.

Sports

There are two large sports clubs in Bomlitz:

  • The SG (Sportgemeinschaft) Bomlitz-Lönsheide emerged from the merger of the former sports club Bomlitz and Spielgemeinschaft Uetzingen-Honerdingen . The club has 14 divisions (including football, handball, cycling or swimming)
  • The SG (Sportgemeinschaft) Benefeld-Cordingen, with almost 1200 members, also offers a wide range of sports (including football, handball, gymnastics, walking and, thanks to the merger with the Blau-Weiss Bomlitz tennis club, since 2010, tennis)

In Bomlitz there is a heated outdoor pool with a 50 m swimming pool, a diving platform, a 65 m slide as well as a non-swimmer and a toddler pool. The swimming pool suitable for competitions is used by the surrounding swimming clubs for training purposes. The swimming pool has been heated with waste heat from the local sewage treatment plant via a hot water pipeline since 2010 and can therefore offer water temperatures of 26 ° C from April to October.

In the south-west of the borough of Borg is the glider airfield of the Walsrode air sports club.

For several years now, an open group of boules players has been meeting in the Bürgerpark in the center of the village, and they have also been involved in national petanque tournaments. In autumn 2011, a boules court with an area of ​​250 m² was created.

Economy and Infrastructure

Economic structure

The Bomlitz economic structure is characterized by the strong dominance of the secondary sector , the manufacturing industry. The Bomlitz community registered a strong surplus of commuters .

The municipality of Bomlitz worked together with Walsrode and Fallingbostel as well as the Walsrode industrial park under the name Wirtschaftsdelta Vogelpark .

Established businesses

Park and elementary school in Bomlitz

Educational institutions

Social facilities

  • 4 village community houses in Bomlitz (with library, gallery, bowling alley, fitness studio, sauna), Benefeld, Bommelsen and Jarlingen
  • 5 kindergartens in Benefeld, Bomlitz and Uetzingen
  • 2 day nurseries
  • 2 residential complexes for the elderly
  • Community library with 12,000 volumes

traffic

The town centers of Bomlitz are about 4 to 6 kilometers away from the surrounding motorway and federal road network. The road network is well developed, also because of the truck traffic to the industrial park. Considerations for more advantageous routes to the industrial park are in progress.

There are regular bus connections to Walsrode (almost every hour during the day) and Bad Fallingbostel . They are operated by the Verkehrsgemeinschaft Nordost-Niedersachsen (VNN).

The formerly existing railway connections from Walsrode via Cordingen to Bomlitz and from Walsrode via Cordingen and Jarlingen to Visselhövede on the Bremervörde – Walsrode railway line have now been discontinued. The line to Bomlitz continues to function as a rail connection for the industrial park. The Eibia industrial railway network is dismantled.
