history

Coppenbrügge was first mentioned in a document around 1000 in a border description of the Diocese of Hildesheim as Cobbanbrug . On March 9, 1062 gave the Emperor Henry IV. The Bishop of Hildesheim Hezilo forestry spell in Coppenbrügge. Around 1200, Count Bernhard von Poppenburg, who sat at Poppenburg Castle , built the Spiegelburg near Lauenstein . After that he called himself Bernhard von Poppenburg and Spiegelberg. The Spiegelburg was built in the valley between Ith and Osterwald on the old military and trade route near a swamp area. The road was Hellweg , which led from Aachen to Königsberg . Then it was Reichsstraße 1 and today Bundesstraße 1. From 1217 Count Bernhard called himself only "von Spiegelberg".

In 1226 a feud broke out between Bernhard von Spiegelberg and Bodo von Homburg . In 1238 the Homburgs captured Spiegelberg Castle, the Counts of Spiegelberg left the country. In 1247 the Homburgers build Lauenstein Castle. In 1260 Johann von Brünnighausen gave his property to the Bishop of Minden . This property was handed over to the Count von Spiegelberg in 1281, which resulted in the Grafschaft Spiegelberg with the capital Coppenbrügge. Around 1300 the Spiegelbergers donated the Carmelites to build their monastery in Marienau and in 1303 the Coppenbrügge Castle was rebuilt.

From 1409 to 1435 the Spiegelbergers fought with the Guelph dukes for new areas on the Weser and in the Hamel Valley . The fighting ended in a complete defeat for the Spiegelbergers, but the county remains. In 1494 the Spiegelberger inherited the county of Pyrmont .

1519 broke the Hildesheimer pin feud from the Bishopric of Hildesheim came with the Guelph principalities Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and Calenberg in conflict. This originally purely local feud developed into a dispute between Lower Saxony territorial princes, in which the Counts of Spiegelberg were also involved. The feud did not end until 1523.

Coppenbrügge was reformed around 1540 . A little later, in 1557, Count Philipp von Spiegelberg and Pyrmont fell in the battle of Saint-Quentin . The rule initially passed to the Lippe family from 1557 to 1584 . From 1584 the house Gleichen-Tonnaund ruled , from 1631 the house Nassau-Dietz . It was followed by the House of Nassau-Orange ( Netherlands ) at the beginning of the 18th century .

In 1692 almost all town houses were destroyed in a major fire. On August 10, 1697, the Russian Tsar Peter the Great visited Coppenbrügge, together with the Electress Sophie of Hanover and the Electress Sophie Charlotte of Brandenburg . On September 18, 1740, Friedrich II of Prussia also came . In 1764 the old sulfur spring in the Coppenbrügger Landwehr was renewed and expanded for healing purposes.

Spiegelberg came to the Kingdom of Westphalia in 1810 , and through the Congress of Vienna (1815) the county returned to the Nassau-Orange (Netherlands). But as early as 1819 Spiegelberg was sold to the Kingdom of Hanover as the "Coppenbrügge Office" ; in 1866 it became Prussian.

The Hameln – Hildesheim railway line was built in 1875, and a few years later (1906) Carl Netter founded the Lindenbrunn sanatorium . The Feuerhake Fountain was built in 1908. It was a thank you from the municipality of Coppenbrügge to Ernst Feuerhake (1850-1924), who donated a water pipe to the municipality. He also donated the two large colored windows in the choir of St. Nicolai Church. Coppenbrügge has been part of the state of Lower Saxony since 1945.

In 1957 the outdoor pool was inaugurated. In 1958 the fundamental renovation of the church was completed. In 1962 the domain land was dissolved and the buildings were sold and demolished. The manor house became the state forest office. In 1969 the Lindenbrunn sanatorium was given up by its owners and sold to the Association for the Care of Severely Handicapped People. In 1972/1973 the newly established Lindenbrunn specialist hospital with a capacity of 255 beds was inaugurated. The indoor pool was opened in 1976. After thorough renovation of the castle ruins and the former district court building, the museum in the castle was opened in 1986. In 1993 the last districts were connected to the central water supply and the central sewage disposal system.

In 2011/2012 the swimming pool was completely renovated. The swimming pools are now heated with district heating from a biogas plant in Brünnighausen. The indoor swimming pool was also rebuilt and the entire roof area was equipped with solar collectors.

In the school year 2015/16 in the premises of the former opened Förderschule Free School Weserbergland its doors, a private school in independent agencies , after the Montessori working approach.

Origin of the place name

The old names of Coppenbrugge in the 10th century are Cobbanbrug, 1013 Cobbanberg, 1062 Choppenbrukke, 1281 Cobbenbrukke, 1381 Kobbenbrughe, 1388 Kopenbrugge and 1393 Cobbenbrugge. The document from 1013 is the only one that contains “-berg” and is probably an incorrect spelling or a wrongly heard form. The first part probably belongs to an old Germanic name for “mountain, mountain peak”, ancient Germanic “kuban-, koban-”, Middle High German “kuppe”, so “top, summit”, early New High German “koppe”, ie “mountain top, tree top”. “Head” also means “the top of a mountain”, in the end, of course, this also includes the summit, including the Schneekoppe. In the second part of the Low German word is “bruges”, meaning “bridge”. Coppenbrügge therefore means "mountain bridge, bridge on the mountain". Given the location on the northern tip of the Ith , this is a conclusive interpretation.

Incorporations

As part of the regional reform in Lower Saxony , the previously independent municipalities of Bäntorf, Behrensen, Bessingen, Bisperode, Brünnighausen, Diedersen, Dörpe, Harderode, Herkensen, Hohnsen and Marienau were incorporated into the municipality of Coppenbrügge on January 1, 1973.

coat of arms

Blazon : "A golden deer antler floatingin green over an open golden barrel ."

Foundation of the coat of arms: The coat of arms was probably created at the time when the Counts of Gleichen granted the town city privileges in 1618 . In a seal from the 17th century, a barrel can be seen in the base of the shield and antlers on the upper edge of the shield. It comes from the Counts of Spiegelberg , who also had a stag in their shield and crest . The barrel goes back to the old brewing system, but it can also be a misinterpretation of the pot helmet of those at Spiegelberg.

flag

The municipality flag is green and decorated with yellow borders, the coat of arms is placed in the middle.
