history

Several prehistoric finds in the area of ​​Didderse indicate a very early settlement activity. Several urn fields were located and bronze axes and individual urns were found.

The first written mention is dated to the year 780 AD. The document served the transfer of goods from Saxon nobles in several villages in the Liergau to the Fulda monastery. Didderse is mentioned as "Tideshusen" along with twenty other localities such as Schwülper . This makes Didderse one of the oldest villages in the Papenteich .

On March 1, 1974, the Didderse community lost its independence. It was awarded to the Wendeburg community in the Peine district together with the communities of Bortfeld , Harvesse , Meerdorf , Neubrück , Rüper, Sophiental and Wense . After the resistance of the population, the municipality of Didderse was rebuilt by hiving off from Wendeburg on May 1, 1981 and reorganized into the Gifhorn district. The layout of the new municipality does not exactly correspond to the extent of the former municipality of Didderse.

Since 2006, Didderse has been the only municipality in the joint municipality of Papenteich that was able to achieve freedom from debt.

Origin of the place name

Old names for Didderse are 780–802 Tid (er) eshusen, around 924 Ditenhusen, 1237 Thiddegessem, around 1250 Dhidikessen, 1272 Thidersen, 1281 Dhidegessen and 1311 Diderse. The place name has been subject to major changes in its history. Apparently it is a word formation with "-husen", perhaps most likely from the old "Tiad-her-es-husen". The personal name "Tiad-her" from the Germanic "Diut-her", from diut for "people" and harja for "army, warband".

Economy and Infrastructure

Mining

As early as 1906, test bores were carried out east of Didderse - towards Adenbüttel - to a depth of over 800 m. A potash mine was then built, which was in operation from 1912 to 1921. Remnants of the administration building can still be seen today.

Didderse is located north of the federal highway 2 , in the immediate vicinity of the federal highway 214 , which connects Braunschweig and Celle .

In 1928/29 a new school was built, which was expanded in 1959. The school service in Didderse was later completely stopped. Today the children and young people from the village attend the Adenbüttel primary school and secondary schools in Meine, Gifhorn and Braunschweig.
• Fire brigade and civil defense : The place had a vehicle sprayer since 1846. Initially, however, this was only carried out by the residents if necessary. The volunteer fire brigade was only founded in 1900 .

coat of arms

Blazon : “ Slanted left split; on top of a golden ground sprinkled with red hearts, a blue, upright, half-armored, red-armored lion with a red tongue, carrying a silver cornucopia pointing downwards; below on a red background a silver asparagus blossom . "

The Danish-Lüneburg lion is intended to commemorate the long membership of the Gifhorn district and the Lüneburg rule area. In contrast to the Brunswick lion, red hearts were scattered. The silver asparagus blossom symbolizes the asparagus cultivation, which is important for the village. The colors red and silver indicate the proximity and economic importance of the city of Braunschweig (city colors: red / silver).
