history
Although Buchholz is a relatively young city in today's borders, the history goes back a long way.
The oldest evidence of human settlement in the Buchholz urban area is a camp site of Hamburg culture (13,000–10,000 BC), which was created at the end of the last ice age . Well-known monuments from prehistoric times are the barren bed in Klecker Wald and various groups of burial mounds, which date from the individual grave culture to the late Saxon period. A total of approximately 560 archaeological sites are known in the city.
The Sprötze district was first mentioned as Sproccinla 1105, the Steinbeck district in 1331. In 1450, Buchholz was first mentioned in the “Winsener Treasure Register” as the village “Bockholte”. At that time it probably consisted of only six farms.
In 1527 Buchholz became Protestant. In 1654 the first school was built in Buchholz. According to the Harburg office register , Buchholz had fourteen farms, a school and a jug in 1667. The arable area was 45.5 hectares. In 1699 the first fire fighting association was founded. From 1803 to 1814 Napoleon's troops occupied the village. During this time the Chaussee Bremen - Hamburg (today's B 75 ) was built away from the village. On May 15, 1857, the Buchholz community received self-government. On June 1, 1874, the Hamburg – Bremen railway line was opened to traffic with a station in Buchholz. The further route Buchholz – Lüneburg received its own train station. In 1899 the impregnation plant (Julius Rütger from Berlin) to the south of the train station was put into operation, initially with around fifty workers. Around 1900 a sand-lime brick factory was built opposite the train station. After the First World War it became a flour factory and later a barrel factory. The Bremer Reihe row house settlement has been located here since 1963 . In 1901 the Buchholz – Soltau railway line was inaugurated. In the same year a waterworks was built (existed until 1923). The following year, the Buchholz – Bremervörde railway line was inaugurated (the Buchholz– Hollenstedt section closed in 1968).
On June 8, 1925, Otto Telschow founded the first NSDAP local group in northern Lower Saxony in Buchholz . Telschow later became Gauleiter of the Gaus Ost-Hannover , whose seat was in Buchholz until the summer of 1932, before it was moved first to Harburg and later to Lüneburg. Despite this relocation, the place remained a center of National Socialist politics in the region. The Hall of Honor of the National Socialists , inaugurated on November 4, 1934, was located in Buchholz on Geraden Strasse and was the most important National Socialist place of worship and celebration in Gau Ost-Hannover. The swastika flag was waving on the chimney of the aforementioned barrel factory on Bremer Strasse and thus within sight of the “Hall of Honor”. A few workers who were organized in the SPD, which was persecuted at the time, had brought this flag down at night and in the fog and hid it for a few days. It was sent anonymously by post to the NSDAP in Harburg.
In 1936, the Dibbersen – Sittensen section of the Reichsautobahn (today's A1 ) was opened to traffic.
British tanks entered Steinbeck on April 19, 1945 . On June 6, 1945, the military government set up a provisional town council. In the “Hoheluft” inn in Steinbeck, parliamentarians began negotiations on April 29, 1945 to hand over the city of Hamburg to the British troops without a fight. The negotiating table can still be seen there today; posted documents remind of the event. Buchholz became a town on July 15, 1958. On December 14, 1959, it was given the addition "in der Nordheide", which has been used officially since January 1, 1960.
In August 1972, the new indoor and outdoor swimming pool in Herrenheide was inaugurated. In the same year, the district special school was opened and in 1974 the city's sewage network was connected to the district's sewer. In 1981, passenger traffic on the Buchholz – Lüneburg railway was stopped; this railway line was finally shut down in partial steps by 1996. The Buchholz – Jesteburg section is now part of the freight bypass to the Maschen marshalling yard .

The Evangelical Lutheran churches of St. Paul from 1892 in the city center and St. Johannis from 1967 in the southern part of the Hittfeld church district in the Lüneburg district of the regional church of Hanover . There are other Evangelical Lutheran churches in the Buchholz districts of Sprötze ( Kreuzkirche ) and Holm-Seppensen ( Martin Luther parish ).
The Christ Church belongs to the Evangelical Free Church Congregation (Baptists) in the Federation of Evangelical Free Church Congregations . The Friedenskirche , founded in 1952, belongs to the Bund Freikirchlicher Pfingstgemeinden . In addition, the Christian Assembly Buchholz has a parish hall here.

Buchholz station (Nordheide)
Buchholz is on the main runway Hamburg – Bremen and is both the starting point of the Heidebahn to Hanover and a freight bypass to the Maschen marshalling yard , which uses the route of the former Buchholz – Lüneburg railway in the Buchholz– Jesteburg section . Until 1968 there was also a line via Hollenstedt to Bremervörde . Buchholz station had extensive track systems including a forecourt with a drainage hill ; Buchholz used to have an important railway depot with a turntable and roundhouse .
The Buchholz separation station is served by the express line Hamburg – Bremen ( metronom ) and the regional train lines Hamburg – Bremen (metronom) and Buchholz – Soltau – Hanover ( Erixx ). In addition, the former Wittenberge – Buchholz railway branches off the Hamburg – Bremen railway line at the station . Nowadays, the first section of this is only used by freight traffic and serves the nearby Maschen marshalling yard coming from the south. The regional trains also stop at Sprötze (on the route to Bremen), Suerhop and Holm-Seppensen (both Heidebahn ) stops in Buchholz's urban area . Tickets from the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (HVV) are valid on all trains .
Almost all trains on the Heidebahn will continue to Hamburg-Harburg at the weekend .
Buchholz has not been used in freight transport for several years. The last customer was a gravel works south of the station. Its former company premises have been renovated and renatured. The Holm-Seppensen and Sprötze stations lost their status as freight depots as early as the 1980s and were dismantled as stops . In addition to local passenger transport (approx. 5000 passengers daily), the station is of great importance for handling freight and long-distance trains passing through .

However, the operating times are extended or adjusted separately for special events in the city or on Advent Sundays.
In addition, regional buses run to Hamburg-Harburg , Rosengarten , Hanstedt / Egestorf , Winsen and Hollenstedt , also on Sundays and public holidays. These buses run from the station forecourt or from the central bus station and, with the connection to Dibbersen, Trelde and Reindorf, also take on inner-city transport tasks.
On school days, numerous school buses also run in a star shape from all over the district to Buchholz and back again in the afternoon. These buses are public and can be used by anyone. Since Buchholz is an important vocational school location, there are opportunities to travel to almost all villages in the Harburg district. The central transfer stop for school traffic is the ZOB.
In the summer season, three leisure bus routes, the so-called Heide-Shuttles, operate in the area of the nature park. The rides on the buses are free of charge, and bicycles can be taken along free of charge using a bicycle trailer on the bus. These buses take you to Niederhaverbeck in the middle of the heathland of the Lüneburg Heath.
