Localities

history
The approximately 60 square kilometers large community extends from the eastern edge of the regional center of Braunschweig to the northwestern Elm. The place has grown together from two communities, the village community with 65 and the manor community with seven houses. The ending ~ ingen indicates that the name originated around 500 years ago. However, the history of the settlement is much older, as evidenced by an urn grave field on the Ehlerberge southwest of the village. In 1302 Cremlingen was passed down as "Cremlinge", while it was documented as "Cremninge" in the 14th century.
The location on the old trade route that led from Cologne via Braunschweig to Magdeburg in the Middle Ages was advantageous for the development of the community . The main trade here was grain, which was also grown on the fields of Cremlingen. The lords of Veltheim and the Riddagshausen monastery , which received two tenth-free hooves and one word (yard) in 1308 , particularly benefited from the local grain industry . In addition, the land of the von Veltheim family was later added as a ducal fiefdom. The von Veltheim auf Destedt are still the owners of the manor in Cremlingen. Land had also been transferred as a fiefdom from the Halberstadt bishop, on whose diocesan territory Cremlingen lay.
Thermal spring
Shortly after the beginning of the 20th century, the Central German Oil Drilling Association came across a thermal spring with water at 34 ° C at a depth of 410 meters. The healing power was discussed extensively in the press, and the dream of a medicinal bath came up. In the 1930s, the doctor Ernst Matheis from Cremlingen tried to organize the bathing business - plans that were thwarted by the Second World War. In 1973 the area was added to the (now disbanded) adjacent military training area . One tried in vain to seal the spring with sand: Even today, around 7600 liters gush unused into the landscape every hour. In the meantime, the nature conservation authority has declared the area a biotope worth protecting. There were massive cuts in the landscape with the construction of the “ Weddeler Loop ”, the A 39 motorway and the bypass road.
Fossil finds
The ammonite in the coat of arms already indicates fossil-containing rocks in the area around Cremlingen. In the course of earthworks for a new motorway, a collector discovered a prehistoric skeleton from the Mesozoic Era in May 2005 , which turned out to be a well-preserved Ichthyosaurus ( Acamptonectes densus ).
Incorporations
The community of Cremlingen was created on March 1, 1974 as a unified community through the legal merger of the former independent communities Abbenrode, Cremlingen, Destedt, Gardessen, Hemkenrode, Hordorf, Klein Schöppenstedt, Schandelah, Schulenrode and Weddel. On March 1, 1974, Hötzum was incorporated into the new municipality of Sickte.
