Location of Croya in Lower Saxony |
||
Croya is a district of the municipality of Parsau in the east of the Lower Saxony district of Gifhorn .
geography
Croya is located immediately north of the Vorsfelder Werder , from which it is separated by the ditch that leads east to the Drömling moorland . Immediately to the south-west of this is the Ahnebeck district , which in turn is joined to the south-west by the town of Parsau. Croya essentially extends along the B 244 (“Im Dorfe”) and the district road 91 branching off from it to Tülau (“Alte Bahnhofsstraße”).
Croya is around 66 meters above sea level and has 392 inhabitants. In addition to some agricultural buildings in the east of the village, Croya mainly consists of modern houses. A residential area built after 2000 is located on the western edge of the village on the "Croyaer Meer", a lake that is the legacy of an earlier sand-lime brick factory . The surrounding area is rural with arable and mixed forest areas.
history
Croya was founded as a Rundling in the Wendish period . 1310 the place was mentioned in a document of the noble family Knesebeck as Croge . The name is a former field name and comes from the Old Slavic kroj "edge, border", so about "hall on the edge of the Geest". The name Croge or Croye remained until the 17th century . In the 16th and 17th centuries, the place was almost desolate before it was founded again as a Rundlingdorf. At that time Croya belonged to the Principality of Lüneburg , while Ahnebeck was Brunswick . The Rundling was gradually dissolved and the Lower Saxony hall houses demolished. A starch factory was founded in 1884, and a sand-lime brick plant was built in 1911 near the train station, which was inaugurated in 1909. In 1965 the starch factory was transferred to Dr. August Oetker KG sold and shortly thereafter shut down and demolished. The sand-lime brick plant was closed in 1988. A bell tower was inaugurated in 1999 and a bakery next to it in 2005 in the center of the village.
In 1939 there were 198 inhabitants in the village, in 1959 there were 412 due to the consequences of the influx of refugees after the Second World War. In 1985 the number had fallen to 269 and later increased again with immigration.
On June 30, 1966, the Croya parish became part of the Brome parish, founded in 1965 . On July 1, 1972, Croya was incorporated into the municipality of Parsau. The municipality of Parsau was henceforth part of the joint municipality of Rüsten . On March 1, 1974, the joint municipality of Rüßen was dissolved. On March 15, 1974, the municipality of Parsau decided to join the Brome municipality, so that Croya has been part of this municipality again since then.
Infrastructure and traffic
Until a village community school was built in Rühren in 1972, Croya had its own school. Croya has a cemetery with a chapel, but no church for worship. Croya belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran parish Brome II, which also includes Tülau and Voitze , not to the parish of Parsau.
Croya is served every hour by buses on the Wolfsburg - Brome line. Until 1974, passenger trains on the Wittingen – Rorien route stopped at the Croya station on the western edge of the town. Freight traffic came to a standstill in 2003. The station facilities are still there.
Others
In Jahrstedt about six kilometers northeast of Croya there is the street "Crojaer Weg", which leads in the direction of Croya, the spelling of which differs from that of the place name.
