history

The place Eddesse was first mentioned in a document as "de Edzesem" in 1226 (often confused with the desert areas Eddessum at Machtsum and Eddesse (n) at Essehof). Presumably there was a settlement far earlier (400–600 BC) due to its favorable location on Eddesser See. From 1532 to 1885 the place belonged to the Gografschaft Edemissen in the Amt Meinersen. Then he came to the Peine district to this day.
In the course of the territorial reform in Lower Saxony, on March 1, 1974, the unified municipality of Edemissen was formed from the localities of the integrated municipality of Edemissen and eight other independent municipalities.

A major fire that raged on May 13, 1811, destroyed 16 houses and 14 barns in one fell swoop in Eddesse. Some Eddessers, who had lost their dwellings in the process, then settled southwest of the town center on the edge of the Berkhöpen and thus founded Klein Eddesse ( Low German Lüttschen Ederße ).

The St. Bernward Church was built from 1837 to 1839 according to plans by Ludwig Hellner . The church tower dates back to the 14th / 15th centuries. Century. The oldest bell was cast in 1513, the striking bell in 1511.

In 1891 the first oil derrick was built in the Eddesser part of the oil fields near Oelheim . This heralded the promotion that continues to this day.

In 1958 the private Peine-Eddesse airfield opened with its 800 m long grass runway, which was later extended to 1000 m and paved. In 2010 it was closed.

A 777th anniversary celebration took place in 2003 as a large village festival.

religion

In 1301 the two parishes of Eddesse and Dedenhausen were merged into one pastoral office, because each parish could not maintain its own pastor.

The Protestant denomination established itself in the early 16th century. The St. Bernward parish today belongs to the Peine parish. In autumn 2007 the Eddesse parish office was canceled and the parish office was reorganized. Eddesse became a parish under the Abbensen parish and Dedenhausen under the Eltze parish.

coat of arms

In the upper part of the coat of arms the blue Lüneburg lion can be seen, as it is depicted on many other coats of arms of the municipality. Below is a white stone against a blue background, which, according to an old legend, was carried by a giant from the Harz Mountains , who stumbled over the black water . The force of the impact left his knees hollows. The arrangement of these depressions, which are partly filled with water, actually reminds, with a little imagination, of a human print.
