The first documentary mention of the town of Bredenbeck goes back to the year 1022. In a document from Emperor Heinrich II, he confirmed the foundation of the St. Michaelis monastery by Bishop Bernward von Hildesheim . Among the goods is u. a. Bredenbike . The name Bredenbeke can already be found in 1025 . In 1255 then the Minden Bishop Otto gave the monastery Wennigsen the tithes in Brede Beck and Weetzen .

The name of the district Steinkrug is probably based on local quarries and a rural restaurant, a Krug . Since the 18th century is there on the mountain pass on the Deister an earlier Ausspann - and coaching . The Steinkrug glassworks , founded by Barons Knigge in 1809, was located in Steinkrug . It was closed in 1928 and until then had played a decisive role in the upswing in Bredenbeck. The on the site of the former glassworks located glassworks tower about 13 meters high is one of the few remaining of its kind in Europe. The existing buildings of the glassworks are under monument protection .

Barons etiquette

In 1312 the knight Herman II Knigge received the fiefdom in Bredenbeck, but only his son knight Hermann III. settled in Bredenbeck in 1338 and expanded the castle into a heavily fortified Bredenbeck moated castle . Adolph Freiherr Knigge was born on it in 1752 . A memorial plaque on the staircase of the estate commemorates this famous Enlightenment writer , who is buried in Bremen Cathedral . On the former castle grounds, the buildings of the estate that still exist today were built in 1825.

The Freiherren Knigge began mining in Deister in 1804 , which gave the place a strong boom. They also had their own brewery on their manor and the establishment of the Bredenbeck lime works . In 1905 Bredenbeck had 1626 inhabitants. Numerous jobs were lost due to the closure of the Herta mine in 1910 and the lime works in 1928. The private cemetery of the baronial Knigge house is still located between Bredenbeck and Steinkrug today . Today the Knigge'sche Rittergut Bredenbeck is owned by the Frhr. Knigge'schen co-owner association , which is mainly known for agriculture and forestry.

Laves

The Hanoverian court architect Georg Laves played a major role in the development of Bredenbeck. In the 19th century, the then leading architect of the Kingdom of Hanover designed both individual buildings in Bredenbeck and concepts for structural development and traffic planning. Since 1822 he was in the service of the Barons Knigge. He not only planned the buildings for the manor, which was built between 1846 and 1860. It was through him that Lindenplatz was laid out in 1825 as the center of the place in the form of a semicircle. There he planned the construction of a combined church and school building with a 29 meter high tower, but this was never implemented. The village school , built in 1848, was built according to Laves' plans, as was the mill at the weir of the Beeke, which was in operation until 1969. The Hotel Steinkrug of the same name, located in the Steinkrug district , was redesigned and considerably expanded by Laves.

Incorporation

As part of the regional reform, the previously independent municipality of Bredenbeck became part of the municipality of Wennigsen (Deister) in 1970 . The basis was the Wennigsen Act , which the Lower Saxony State Parliament had passed in 1969. Jürgen Bauermeister ( SPD ), then Mayor of Bredenbeck , later became District Administrator of the Hanover district .

politics

The town of Bredenbeck has a local council, the members of which were newly elected in November 2016. The local council has seven members. The current local mayor is Marianne Kügler ( CDU ), who was elected in February 2019 after Heiko Farwig ( SPD ) resigned .

coat of arms

Culture and sights

  • Dietrich Bonhoeffer House
  • The Bredenbeck Heimatstube with a collection on the history of the place is now located in the former village school. One focus is on the representation of local handicrafts and industries. The listed building also houses a kindergarten and a crèche run by the German Red Cross and the Bredenbeck community library. The Bredenbeck Volunteer Fire Brigade is housed at the rear of the building .
  • Bennigser Burg ( ring wall system ) in the Deister near Steinkrug
  • Bredenbeck Castle, today an estate with a manor house of the Barons Knigge. The castle was built in the 13th century as a moated castle , which was considered the most powerful in the Calenberg region . It was strategically located near a Deister Pass. In 1370, Duke Magnus II pledged it to the Hildesheim Monastery. In 1550 the castle burned down and was rebuilt even more defensively. In place of the castle, a manor was built in 1825 as a classical complex according to plans by the Hanoverian court architect Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves . Today only small remains of the fortifications can be seen.
The interior of the glassworks tower of the Steinkrug glassworks
  • The Steinkrug glassworks, founded in 1809, was located in Steinkrug . Some remaining buildings are evidence of this. The 13 m high glassworks tower made of Deister sandstone is one of the few remaining examples in Europe and the only one in natural stone.
  • In addition to the white, the “yellow Beeke” also flows through Bredenbeck. This is a small stream (Middle Low German Beke ) that runs through the whole village and whose bottom is actually yellow. The stream is partially fed from historical mining facilities in the Deister. In addition to the mined coal, which, like the sandstone and clay layers, originate from the Lower Cretaceous Period (more precisely: Berrias ) and unfold the Deister, the rock layers also contain iron components that are washed out by the water in oxidized form. This leads to the rust-red or yellow color of the water.
  • In 2008 the council of Wennigsen (Deister) decided to set up a funeral forest in Bredenbeck. This quiet forest Deister is located on Steinkrüger Weg and serves as a place for urn burials. In 2011, due to great demand, a second section was opened for around 2,500 burials.
  • There is a grain distillery in the village that has been owned by the Warnecke family since 1826. The farm offers space for various regionally known markets and has an artistic gallery called Kornboden , which is looked after by the local cultural association K ^ 3 .
  • Mensing's splendid farm : The building ensemble was completed in 1898 on the outskirts of the town by the entrepreneur Christian Mensing († 1917) from Degersen. It consists of a residential building (house number 17) with an associated enclosure and a longitudinal barn made of bricks (house number 15). The property is now in the center of the village and is a defining feature of the village.
