Fuhrberg ( Low German Fuhrbarch ) is a village and district in the north of the city ​​of Burgwedel , which belongs to the Hanover region in Lower Saxony .

history

Fuhrberg, whose place name can still not be clearly interpreted, is first mentioned in writing in 1323 as Wurberghen and in 1377 as Fuhrberge ( Low German Fuhre = " Föhre "). The document from the year 1223 reported only that the nobles Hugo and John of Escherde with the consent of their heirs the Propsten the monastery to Walsrode for 20  marks its silver Bremen estate ( Villa in Wuhrbergen sold). The document from 1377 is a list of the damage that the soldiers of Duke Otto von Braunschweig inflicted on Duke Albrecht von Lüneburg . The small amount of historical data available may be due to Fuhrberg's geographical location in the parish and office of Großburgwedel . Always surrounded by forests, it was on the other hand a border town between the Hildesheim Gau Flutwidde and the Mindischen Loingau , which were separated by the Wietze flowing in the west of the place .

On April 6, 1945, three “ death marches ” from Hanover concentration camp outposts arrived in Fuhrberg . The exhausted prisoners “slept” in several barns in Fuhrberg and were driven on to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp the next day .

Until 1939 the place had 707 inhabitants. That number more than doubled after World War II. Due to the influx of expellees from former German eastern areas , a new census in 1952 resulted in a population of 1,476.

On March 1, 1974, Fuhrberg was incorporated into the new municipality of Burgwedel.

coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms of Fuhrberg comes from the heraldist and graphic artist Alfred Brecht , who designed all the coats of arms in the Hanover region. The coat of arms was adopted by the council on June 9, 1966 and issued on August 4, 1966 by the district president in Lüneburg.

Fuhrberg coat of arms
Blazon : "In green, a silver ten-end antler with a grind (skull between the horns), above a golden key with a right- facing beard."
Foundation of the coat of arms: The golden key, as one of the two from the coat of arms of the Lords of Escherde , was included in the local coat of arms and thus the gender, which was named in the first document about Fuhrberg in 1325, was honored accordingly. The tens of antlers remind us that as early as 1854 Maneke attributed the sizeable forests of the district bailiwick of Großburgwedel to the sovereignty and that Fuhrberg was singled out as the seat of a chief forester (forester) of the Lüneburg / Munzel inspection. Fuhrberg thus got an expressive coat of arms, which has been integrated quite well into the series of existing municipal coats of arms in the Burgdorf district . The adoption of the coat of arms was decided unanimously.

Architectural monuments

Economy and Infrastructure

There are three bakeries and two gas station shops in the village.

A citizens' initiative has founded a company to set up a supermarket , which Fuhrberg has not had for years. The company planned the project in cooperation with the local council. The fresh market was built and opened in 2012.

Look inside the beehive

Fuhrberg is dominated by agriculture and a well-known asparagus growing area . In the 19th century, beekeepers in the area were intensively involved in heather beekeeping . After the heather disappeared, the last evidence of this time is a beehive in a wood near the village. The former apiary has been declared a cultural monument. In Fuhrberg there is still a professional beekeeper and several hobby beekeepers.

Near Fuhrberg is the Fuhrberger Feld, the largest water protection area in Lower Saxony (approx. 300 km²). In 2001, the Fuhrberg waterworks pumped 20,900,000 m³ of water and thus covered 45.7% of the water requirements of the Hanover region.

education

In Fuhrberg there is the state-run Maria Sibylla Merian primary school . Secondary general education schools are located in the main town of Burgwedel: Großburgwedel. There are vocational schools in Burgdorf and Celle.

Fuhrberg can be reached via junction  52 ( Mellendorf ) of the A 7 , which runs west of Fuhrberg. The state roads L 310 and L 381 lead through Fuhrberg .
