In 2004 the municipal area covered 29.81 km², from 1974 to 2003 it was 29.36 km².

history
The name of the community comes from Teich ( Diek ) and Wald ( Holzen ). A place in the area called Holthusen is mentioned as early as 1125. 1267 was first mentioned as "Dicholthusen". In 1597 the place was mentioned as "Deichholzhusen". The top half of the municipality's coat of arms shows a golden ax crossed with a golden wood saw, in front of which is a miner's lamp. In the lower part there is a golden plow. The symbols are on a red background. Around 1850 Diekholzen was still considerably smaller with 353 inhabitants than the neighboring Söhre with 444 inhabitants. In 1900 Diekholzen had 498 inhabitants. In 1939 the population was 759, in 1950 1526 and 1964 2094 after many refugees and displaced persons had settled in Diekholzen. In 1974 the previously independent villages of Söhre, Barienrode and Egenstedt with 2955 inhabitants at that time were incorporated into Diekholzen, which now had 6525 inhabitants with all districts. The villages belonged to the Marienrode monastery .
The earliest mentioned place in the municipality is Egenstedt, which is mentioned in a document of the Diocese of Hildesheim from the year 996. The coat of arms of the village bears the golden monogram of the Jesuit order on a red background. It also adorns the lintel of the so-called Jesuiterhof in Egenstedt, today's parish hall. Since the Middle Ages, the farm, like the other farms in the village, has belonged to the clergy's property. In 1594, Prince-Bishop Ernst transferred the court position to the Jesuit College. The payments and deliveries to be made by tenants (Mieren) were used to maintain the Jesuit school in Hildesheim (Josephinum). In 1725 the Jesuits took over the running of the farm themselves. They later leased the farmland that belonged to it to various Egenstedt residents; the yard (building, garden and meadow) to a shepherd until 1775. In 1787 the village school teacher initially leased the Jesuit farm for 12 years and lived there because the neighboring school building was in a desolate condition. It was demolished in 1791/93 and replaced by a modern new building. In 1900 Egenstedt had 188 inhabitants. In Egenstedt (1939: 214 inhabitants), the smallest district of Diekholzen, the number of inhabitants (1950: 448) rose considerably after the Second World War due to the influx of displaced persons and refugees; in 1997 it was 733.
Barienrode is mentioned in writing for the first time as early as 1022; the Barienrode knightly family lived here during the High Middle Ages in the 12th to 14th centuries. The coat of arms shows two silver fish on a blue background, each pointing outwards. Barienrode had 129 inhabitants in 1939, but with the influx of displaced persons and refugees the number of inhabitants rose rapidly after the Second World War. In 1997 it was 1812.
The village of Söhre is first mentioned in 1125 as Sutherem . The settlement is of course much older than the first mention suggests. It is not clear whether the place name Suthre in a document from 1022 refers to Söhre. The place celebrated its 975th anniversary in 1997, as a memorial stone in the main street commemorates. The municipality coat of arms of Söhre has the Hildesheim colors on the left half and a picture of the old church tower on the right. In 1900 Söhre had 442 inhabitants. In 1964 the population had risen to 1065, in 1990 it was 1290 and in 1997 it was 1547.
Incorporations
On March 1, 1974, the communities Barienrode, Egenstedt and Söhre were incorporated.

Culture and sights
Attractions
In the old village center of Diekholzen, in which there are still several well-preserved old farms and half-timbered houses, the Catholic Church of St. James the Elder , built in 1656, is worth seeing. The Protestant Resurrection Church, completed at Pentecost in 1963, forms a striking contrast to this. In it, among other things, the altar mosaic is noteworthy. The church was built by the Hildesheim architect Ernst-August Seevers. Until 1963 Diekholzen did not have a Protestant church, since almost all residents were Catholic, because Diekholzen and the surrounding villages - in contrast to the majority in the city of Hildesheim - had not joined the Reformation . Only after the Second World War did the call for a Protestant church in Diekholzen become loud because of the influx of numerous refugees and expellees. A small corridor chapel was built between the two churches on a hiking trail along the Beuster in 1996 and inaugurated in 1997.
On the eastern edge of Diekholzen in the street Söhrer Tor, a memorial commemorates the former Hildesia potash mine .
