After Reinhausen and Klein Lengden, Diemarden is the third largest district of the municipality of Gleichen in the district of Göttingen . The place is on the garden , which flows into the Leine shortly before Göttingen . The Diemarden observation tower, built in 1409, can be found on the Diemardener Berg. This watch tower is the last fully preserved tower of the former 11 wards that formed a medieval early warning system for the city of Göttingen. At the same time, the Diemarden church tower was built from red sandstone. Despite the proximity to Göttingen , there are some public institutions such as elementary school and kindergarten. Diemarden was a stop on the Gartetalbahn until the 1960s .

history

The Diemarden Control Center
Diemarden Church

Diemarden was first mentioned in a document in 1022 - in the deed of foundation of the St. Michaelis monastery in Hildesheim , in which the estate and church in Diemarden was designated as monastery property. At that time the Michaeliskloster owned 80 Hufen and a farm in Diemarden; Around 1200 Abbot Dietrich acquired another 6 hooves. In 1234 both were acquired by the Hilwartshausen monastery ; however, the Hilwartshausen monastery initially paid only 71 of the 165 marks to Hildesheim. It can be assumed that this meant that the Michaeliskloster in Hildesheim initially remained in the possession of the Diemarden estates. It is not known when the remaining price was paid. From this point on, however, Diemarden no longer appears in the document books and archives of the Michaeliskloster.

On April 8, 1255, the Lords of Plesse Hilwartshausen pledged half of the bailiwick in Diemarden. From this time on, the Hilwartshausen monastery will have come into the final possession of Diemarden, as on May 20, 1305 it acquired a further 6 1 ⁄ 2  hooves in the village. The two mills that existed in Diemarden at that time also belonged to the monastery: the upper mill located in the cloister courtyard and the lower mill. At this time the monastery chamber was entitled to jug law .

Diemarden was a pastor very early - the first pastor is mentioned as early as 1272. The Vogtding served as jurisdiction , from which the monastery court later developed. In the 16th century there was also a court of the country people , which was also called Meierding . Until the 19th century, the monastery courtyard had complete sub-jurisdiction. In addition to Hilwartshausen, there was another landlord in Diemarden with property, the Reinhausen monastery not far from the village , as well as the noble family of Uslar , who owned an estate pledged by the noble lords of Plesse at the end of the 14th century. As early as 1400 they came into possession of a Hufe Landes from the Plessian pawn property. Around the middle of the 12th century the Reinhausen monastery owned 6 hooves, a forework with 3 hooves, the mill and the Kaldinlied forest. In the following centuries, the monastery also transferred goods. So 1457 Göttingen Council received from the Reinhäuser goods to Diemarden a Vorwerk of 4 hooves, the 17 Malter rye, 4 measures of wheat, 4 Malter barley and 15 Malter oats gave further 2 Vorwerke of 6 hooves and 3 1 / 2  hooves another country .

In addition to the monastery, the Lords of Bodenhausen were also represented in Diemarden. 1318 Bruno was von Bodenhausen with the Bailiwick over part of the village of Welf side, belehnt been, which can be detected until the late 16th century. In 1410 Ordomar von Bodenhausen pledged bailiff services over two small estates in Diemarden and 3 Hufen des Landes. In the Vogteilehnsbriefe from Bodenhausen it is mentioned that they owned 8 Hufen Landes in the Diemarden district in 1414.

By the middle of the 16th century at the latest, the Göttingen pastor Johann Gödeke was the first Protestant clergyman in Diemarden. He held office from 1556 to 1566. at the time of the Reformation, Diemarden was united with Reinhausen. The first major post-Reformation church visitation took place from February 23 to June 6, 1588 and was necessary because the Catholic Duke of Calenberg-Göttingen Erich II died in 1584. His successor Julius von Wolfenbüttel was considered a supporter of the Protestant denomination.

The contract of 1612 reports about the service of the inhabitants at the Klostvorwerk: “Each of the six farm workers drove dung for five days a year, fetched wood from the Reinhausen forest with the other six fathoms, and plowed and sowed each of the three fields of each of them When Hufe plowed three forelegs (= 3750 m²) in the country, the fruit carried away into the barn of the Diemarden monastery fore. The Kötner fought, rotted, washed, broke and swung the flax , mowed and tied the grain five days a year in the winter field, raked and tied a day in the summer field, kept the buildings of the cloister under construction and repaired, mucked the cowshed and chopped 6  fathoms Wood in the Reinhausen Forest. ”In 1671, the land assigned to Diemarden residents by Hilwartshausen monastery was 27 Hufen (= 202 hectares ). The sheep farm in the Feldmark Diemarden belonged to the monastery with 400 sheep. The farmers were only allowed to drive out 200 sheep for guarding. The monastery suburb had to keep bulls and boars for the community.

On January 1, 1973 Diemarden was incorporated into the new parish of Gleichen.

Culture and sights

Ev.-luth. St. Michaelis Church

St. Michaelis Church

After a fire destroyed the former St. Michaelis Church, the construction of a new church began in 1733, the shell of which was completed in the same year. Without waiting for the interior to be completed, the first service was held at the beginning of November 1733. The final expansion was not completed until 1774 as a result of financial difficulties. While the upper part of the church tower with the wooden roof was demolished in 1747, the lower walls were preserved. It is estimated to be around 600 years old, and it is believed that it was once the refuge for the Diemarden residents in the Middle Ages, and it also underlines the house's former character as a fortified church . The construction on the new tower could not be finished until 1775, it received an onion roof , which in its architectural form is also called the Welsche dome . At the south entrance of the church there is the inscription THIS HOUSE OF GOD IS BUILT IN ANNO 1733 WHEN JOHANN DANIEL SCHRAMM WAS PASTOR TO DIEMARDEN AND REINHAUSEN . The organ dates from 1833, the altar and pulpit from 1839 to 1841. The older bells were destroyed in the Thirty Years War . The smaller of the two church bells was purchased in 1632; after it burst in 1735, it was cast in 1736 in Nordhausen and was finally used in the new building of the church.
