history

Dollbergen was mentioned for the first time in 1226 as "Dolberge". Doll- was probably an ancient word for "hill", which was later added -berg .

In 1549 Archbishop Adolf zu Cologne and Count Otto zu Hildesheim enfeoffed Rudolf von Garßenbüttel with "the whole village of Dollberge". The first school in the village was built in 1613. In 1625, during the Thirty Years War , Danish soldiers looted Dollbergen. The chapel was consecrated in 1783.

Potato cultivation began in Dollbergen around 1800. In 1815 Hans Heinrich Klusmann, Johann Henning Kobbe, Jürgen Heinrich Eberhagen and Johann Heinrich Scheppelmann fought in the 3rd Company of the Landwehr Battalion Gifhorn, as part of the 5th Hanoverian Brigade under the command of Lieutenant Colonel E. von Vincke in the 5th Infantry Division with their legendary commander, General Sir Thomas Picton in the battle of Waterloo against Napoleon's troops.

In 1818 the first mayor of the place was elected. In 1871 Dollbergen received a rail connection with the opening of the Lehrte – Stendal railway line. The first post office was opened in the Gasthaus Frehe in 1894. The Dollbergen volunteer fire brigade and the first sports club TSV Dollbergen 09 were founded in 1909.

During the Reichstag elections in 1911, there was no isolation room in Dollbergen, against which citizens protested. “The claim is considered to be substantial and it is decided to inform the electoral board as well as the owner of the farm Brandes No. 30, the master carpenter Ad. Kobbe and master tailor August Schulze zu Dollbergen to hear about it on oath ”, it says in the negotiations of the Reichstag , Berlin 1911, p. 2048.

In 1918 Dollbergen was connected to the electrical power supply. A windmill was built in 1921.

As early as 1909, the Dollbergen station potato drying cooperative established the first industrial operation in the village and initiated the change from a farming village to an industrial community. In 1913 the plants were converted into a benzene and ammonia factory under the name “Chemische Fabrik Dollbergen”. In the years 1918 and 1919, the first oil refinery was built at the site , which began operations in 1920. The “Dollbergen oil refinery and chemical factory” was later renamed Erdölwerke Dollbergen and taken over in 1925 by Hugo-Stinnes-Riebeck Oel-Handels-Gesellschaft mbH in Berlin, and one year later by Deutsche Gasolin AG . Towards the end of the Second World War, between 600 and 700 people were employed in the Dollberg industry.

On the night of 17/18. In June 1940 there was a bombing raid by the Royal Air Force , in August 1944 and January 45 there were two more heavy bombing raids by the 8th US Air Force on the Gasolin. A fighter-bomber attack set several large tanks on fire shortly before the end of the war. On some farms, foreign workers had to replace local male workers who were at war. Several of their graves are located at the memorial in the center of the village.

The secret daily reports of the German armed forces leadership speak clear words and show the unmanageable problems in Dollbergen. The Royal Air Force's balance sheet was almost identical. According to the "Luftlage Reich" - Enemy aircrafts in the night 17./18. June 1940 from west and north:

Bombs on RüInVI:

(...) Dollbergen: German Gasoline A. G., 23 tanks are burning, Firefighters make good progress; The boilser-building, machine-house with power supply, foreign power installation damaged; Several parts of the area are burning. The factory is stopped. No more details because all communication lines in the Dollbergen area are dead;

Later reported: Out of 23 tanks 18 with 25000 t destroyed, 35000 t were in stock. Distillation and oil production destroyed, machine-building not damaged, factory will start production on June 19 again.

As a result of the industrial settlement, the number of inhabitants rose from 900 (1944) to 1640 (1963) within around 20 years after the Second World War. The first new housing estate was built on Wilhelm-Busch-Straße in 1948. The village received a municipal coat of arms in 1954. In 1956 the community office, the fire station and the sports field were built. The connection to the central drinking water supply took place in 1958.

In 1963 the local council introduced street names. The gasoline plant, which was initially rebuilt after being destroyed in the war and one of the first mineral oil plants to function again in Germany, was largely shut down in 1955 and completely shut down in 1969. The potato distributors Dolka and Groka were founded in 1971. The establishment of its own Protestant parish with the parish office in Dollbergen took place in 1974. In addition, the Dollbergen parish was dissolved on March 1, 1974; Dollbergen has been part of Uetze since then. In 1979 the bell tower of the chapel was straightened. Storks have been nesting on the roof of the church for many years. The bypass was built in 1998. In 2001 the gas station was closed and the dandelion school was rededicated as a pure elementary school. The 777th anniversary celebration took place in 2003. The lock system over the Fuhse was dismantled.

Culture and sights

Buildings

The half-timbered building of the Church of the Redeemer was consecrated in 1783 after it was built to replace the previous building that was destroyed by fire. Today's church was then a chapel of the Sievershausen parish. It is alleged that Dollbergen had the most crooked church tower in Germany (see section History, 1979). It crowns the roof of the small chapel (Church of the Redeemer) in the center of the village on the Kapellenberg . For many decades there has been a stork's nest on the tower (roof turret) of the church, after white storks have been nesting in Dollbergen for around 200 years. In front of the church there is a "stork awning board" with the number of annual offspring.
The Dutch windmill on Bahnhofstrasse originally comes from Ohlenrode , where it was built around 1870. In 1921 it was moved to its current location. After a lightning strike in 1951 destroyed the wings, the mill continued to operate with a motor. Today it is closed.
In order to counter the mockery of the residents of the neighboring villages about the Dumb Dollbergen in earlier times , residents in a Dollberg armory displayed objects such as "mosquito bridles" and "cat shoes", which could be viewed for an entrance fee.
