geography
Geographical location
Burgdorf lies between Hanover , Celle and Peine and is about 25 km away from all three cities. It borders on Uetze , Lehrte , Isernhagen and Burgwedel as well as on the district of Celle . The Burgdorfer Aue flows through the area of the town of Burgdorf, which is why it is also called the Auestadt . The defining natural area is the Burgdorf-Peiner Geest with its nutrient-poor, sandy soils, a largely flat landscape with a few low hills and pine , birch and pedunculate oak forests . The urban area is enclosed by the Altwarmbüchener Moor and the Oldhorster Moor in the west and the Burgdorfer Holz in the east.

The area between these three districts is known as the city center or old town.

history
Burgdorf was first mentioned in a document in 1279. It belonged to the diocese of Hildesheim . During the Middle Ages , the place was surrounded by a series of smaller settlements that fell desolate . These include Eseringen, Garvesse, Hetelingen and Oensingen. After the small Hildesheim collegiate feud (1420–1422) it came to the Celle dukes in 1433 , whose area later became the administrative district of Lüneburg . In 1433, Duke Otto von der Heide had Burgdorf Castle rebuilt and moved with a rampart and double moat. The place Burgdorf was then just a village.
In the Thirty Years' War there was a battle at a heavily occupied pass near Dachtmissen. The citizens of Burgdorf defended themselves against the contributions and taxes in 1637 with a minor uprising. There were also major fires in the city in 1658 and 1809, which were repeatedly destroyed and then rebuilt.
In 1811 the Jewish community in Burgdorf built a half-timbered house as a synagogue . In 1939 she was forced to sell the building to the city. From 1941 it served the Hitler Youth as an office and was later a library. Since 2008, the building has been a cultural meeting place under the name KulturWerkStadt .
In 1935 the Catholic St. Nicholas Church was built east of the old town , which was significantly expanded and modernized in 1972.
During the Second World War , numerous Nazi forced laborers had to do forced labor on farms in Burgdorf and the surrounding area. In 1944 there was an uprising, as a result of which 31 Polish and Soviet forced laborers from Burgdorf and the surrounding area were executed on August 9, 1944 in Neuengamme concentration camp . After the war ended, the British military government built the Ohio barracks camp on the northeastern outskirts of Burgdorf. At the end of 1945 there were 1,000 former prisoners of war, forced laborers and foreigners who had become homeless. In 2017, the Burgdorf City History Working Group published the book "Im Schatten des Vergessens", which explains the history of these people based on individual fates and is now also used by teachers at Burgdorf schools to illustrate the era of National Socialism to schoolchildren.
The district of Burgdorf , which existed until 1974, was merged against the will of the majority of the population with the district of Neustadt am Rübenberge (NRÜ), the district of Springe am Deister (SPR) and remnants of the old district of Hanover to form the new district of Hanover. As a result, Burgdorf lost its district town status and no longer belonged to the Lüneburg administrative district, but to the Hanover administrative district , which was dissolved on December 31, 2004 .
On November 1, 2001, the district of Hanover was merged with the city of Hanover to form the Hanover region , to which Burgdorf also belongs. There is a local court and a tax office in Burgdorf.
Incorporations
As a result of the Lower Saxony regional reform that came into force on April 1, 1974 , the communities of Beinhorn, Dachtmissen, Heeßel, Hülptingsen, Otze, Ramlingen-Ehlershausen, Schillerslage, Sorgensen and Weferlingsen were incorporated.

politics
City Council
Since the local elections on September 11, 2016, the Burgdorf City Council has been composed as follows:
SPD | CDU | Green | AfD | Free Burgdorfer * | WGS ** | FDP | The left | total |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
12 seats | 9 seats | 4 seats | 2 seats | 3 seats | 2 seats | 2 seats | 1 seat | 36 seats |
* Free voter community for Burgdorf
** Burgdorf independent voter community
The AfD was only able to occupy two of the four seats that it would have been entitled to according to the election results in the council because no more candidates had been nominated.
In 2017 two Christian Democrats and a representative of the left left their parliamentary groups and jointly founded the “Free Burgdorfer” parliamentary group.
mayor
Mayor of the city of Burgdorf is Armin Pollehn (CDU). His deputies are Matthias Paul (SPD) and Simone Heller (Greens).
On November 1, 2019, the retiring former mayor Alfred Baxmann (SPD) was replaced by Armin Pollehn (CDU), who was elected future mayor in a runoff election against Matthias Paul on June 16, 2019.
coat of arms
The municipal coat of arms of Burgdorf comes from the heraldic painter Carl Wenzel from Hanover. Wenzel created several coats of arms in the Hanover district, for example for the places Ahlten , Bilm and Dolgen .
- The approval of the coat of arms was given on September 5, 1940 by the President of the Province of Hanover .
- The city of Burgdorf, newly formed by law on March 1, 1974, took over the coat of arms of the previous city of Burgdorf, which was approved by the district president in Hanover on May 8, 1974.
Blazon : "In silver on a green shield base, two green deciduous trees with brown trunks and branches ( oaks )next to each other, in front of which a golden lion rests." | |
Reasons for the coat of arms: The origin of the coat of arms of the city cannot be determined. Since it is not known why and by whom it was awarded, no justification can be given for the coat of arms. It has also seen significant changes over the centuries. According to the oldest known representations from the 16th century, the heraldic animal can also be a leopard . Later the coat of arms showed two fir trees instead of the deciduous trees . Since 1940 the coat of arms has been shown again with the deciduous trees (oaks). |
Colors, flag
The colors of the city, and consequently those of the city flag: "The colors of the city are 'green' and 'yellow'."

The seal is designed as follows: "The official seal contains the coat of arms and the inscription 'Stadt Burgdorf'."

Coats of arms of the districts
"On suitable occasions of a solemn and other representative kind, the previous coats of arms and flags of the districts may be shown in the villages in addition to the city arms and the city flag."

Architectural monuments
language
Burgdorf was historically part of the East Westphalian language area. The Standard German has the Low German language but almost completely replaced there. Today the Burgdorf colloquial language, together with that of the entire area around Hanover, has the reputation of being particularly close to the standard language. However, there are still some regional peculiarities, some of which can be explained by a Low German substrate .
The / l / is often vocalized in the final syllable so that “mal” sounds like “ma” or “such” like “epidemic”. / g / is often lenized to / x / or / ç / so that “said” sounds like “gentle”. The short / ɪ / coincides with the short / ʏ / (“büdde” instead of “please” and “Kürche” instead of “church”). Also typical are the use of “ebent” instead of “even”, the internal German weakening of the consonants (“Leude” instead of “people”) and the tmesis of adverbs (“I can't do anything for that” instead of “I can't do anything for that”).
music
The probably best-known Burgdorf band - measured in terms of media success - was probably the High Life Skiffle Group , later High Life Music Group , which was founded in 1974 and achieved notable successes with “Hey hey Marlene” and “Ich fahr mit der Lambretta”. The pop singer Lukas Rieger was a student at the Burgdorf high school .
Sports
The city is home to the handball club TSV Hannover-Burgdorf , which has played in the handball Bundesliga since 2009 . The soccer club SV Ramlingen / Ehlershausen won the Lower Saxony championship in 2006 and is currently playing in the Lower Saxony state league , i.e. in the sixth highest division. Heesseler SV from the district of Heeßel and the footballers from TSV Burgdorf also play in the same league .
There is an 18-hole golf course in the district of Ehlershausen and a swing golf course in the district of Otze . In the district of Ehlershausen there is the Großes Moor glider airfield, whose gliding club LSV Burgdorf has been represented in the 1st Bundesliga since the 2011 season. The glider club is most successful in cross-country flight in Lower Saxony.
Economy and Infrastructure
economy
In Hülptingsen , to the east of the city center, there is an important industrial area in Burgdorf.
