assassination

In the 19th century, the Empelder Holz stretched on the plain between the eastern slope of the Benther Berg and the village of Empelde a good two kilometers south-east . It was a forest area with a high population of game .

Sequence of events

On the night of Ascension in 1842, the royal court hunter Wilhelm Busse came across four poachers in Empelder Holz . Busse was fatally wounded in the shooting that followed. His body was hidden in a ditch but was found the next day by a farmer.

According to another representation, the Hofjäger Busse , who had set out to hunt a roebuck , was found dead in the Eilenriede near Hanover, hit by 5 bullets . The perpetrators would have admitted this course of events in court: The hunter met three poachers in the forest. When asked to put down their weapons, the poachers shot at buses and hit him in both legs. Busse shot one of the opponents. The poachers then shot buses in the chest at close range. The valuables stolen from the dead later led to the investigation of the perpetrators. The murderer was hanged. The three remaining poachers were sentenced to long imprisonment.

consequence

As a consequence of Busses murder, the royal chief hunting department renewed the instruction from December 1840 that forest and hunting officials should , if at all possible, not undertake the search and arrest of poachers individually.

Memorial stone

Coach was in Empelder wood in the forest Empelder surcharge on off Deister sandstone carved, about five feet high monument erected. The monument listed in the monuments register of the Hanover region bore the inscriptions:

"In memory of the
royal court hunter
Wilhelm Busse
born at Egestorff on July 6th, 1819
died at this place on
May 5th, 1842"

“The royal court hunter Wilhelm Busse ended his promising life here in the bloom of the years in the faithful fulfillment of his service duty. He fell murdered by poachers. Loyalty and in fulfilling his official duties, efficiency and solidity of disposition earned him general respect and love. "

The forest near the Busse stone was gradually cleared and converted to arable land , so that the memorial stone stood in the open after the First World War . The Busse stone remained in place until 1936. From 1937 the heap of the newly sunk shaft III of the Empelde potash works Hansa was built at this point .

Until 1995 the Busse stone stood in the Bürgerholz "near the forestry department" in what is now the Hemmingen district of Ohlendorf . Since 1995 the stone has stood on a plateau in the south-west of the Empelde potash heap, which is now largely covered with rubble and excavated earth .
