Location of Edemissen in Lower Saxony

Edemissen is a district of Einbeck in southern Lower Saxony between Harz and Solling in the Leinetal . Located in the Einbeck-Markoldendorfer basin and surrounded by low mountain ranges, the place, first mentioned in 1135, is embedded in an agricultural region. With around 500 inhabitants, Edemissen is one of the larger districts of the city of Einbeck.

history

The place Edemissen was first mentioned in 1135 in a document from the Fredelsloh monastery . First written mention under the name emideshus , Emmisdeshus , Heminhus go back to the period between 850 and 950. Like the place names of the surrounding villages, the name goes back to the designation of the court names of aristocrats. The sources for the historical data come mostly from the Fredelsloh monastery or the Odagsen parish . Edemissen temporarily had its own chapel and nunnery as a branch of the Fredelsloh monastery. It survived the Thirty Years War , but had to be demolished in 1781 due to major structural damage. A Theophilus bell that hangs in the cemetery chapel today and dates back to the 12th century has been preserved. During the Thirty Years War , the region changed hands repeatedly. The Swedes followed the imperial troops . The plague and a town fire in Einbeck in 1641 during the siege devastated the region. In the Seven Years' War (1756–1763), the French crossed the village in the war with Prussia and Kurhannover , but were driven out again by the Hanoverians.

The 17th and 18th centuries were characterized by compulsory labor and taxes for the Rotenkirchen office for the majority of people who worked in agriculture . Around 1750 flax and the newly introduced potato improved the farmers' economic situation. Along with grain, flax became an important export item in Germany, which is structured as a small country. Edemissen had about 200 inhabitants at the time. The population was calculated based on fire pits. Four to six people were assigned to each fireplace. The number of fireplaces rose from 13 at the end of the Thirty Years War in 1648 to around 35 at the end of the 18th century. For comparison: in 1648 Strodthagen had 10, Dörrigsen 8, Buensen 1, Dassensen 19 and Iber 18 fireplaces.

It was not until the time of the Napoleonic Wars at the beginning of the 19th century that the peasants were gradually freed from burdens such as tithing or compulsory labor. In 1803 the village was occupied by the French. With the occupation and membership of the Kingdom of Westphalia , the peasants were liberated from aristocratic rule under the triad of freedom, equality and fraternity that emerged during the French Revolution . The French occupation ended in 1813 and the region was incorporated into the Kingdom of Hanover . This also involved a curtailment of the previously obtained rights for the farmers. In the middle of the 19th century, many emigrated from the Kingdom of Hanover to North America for this reason. It was not until 1866, when Hanover was defeated by Prussia and incorporated as a Province of Prussia , that the introduction of the Prussian General Land Law finally led to the liberation of the peasants. The situation of the rural population improved noticeably after the establishment of the German Empire in 1871. Industrialization increased the productivity of agriculture with the newly developed machines.

In the First World War 1914–1918, 18 soldiers from the village died. The period between the wars was marked by unemployment and inflation . In addition to agriculture, trades such as bricklayers, blacksmiths and forest workers have played a major role since the end of the 19th century. In 1933 the National Socialists took power in Germany. Harmonization with the young people , Hitler Youth , SA , SS , BDM , women's association, farmers' association, etc. also affected the village. During the Second World War , bombed out people from surrounding cities were taken in and the fire brigade was assigned to fire operations in Hanover . The village was occupied by American troops on April 10, 1945, with several buildings damaged in the course of the fighting. A total of 32 Edemissers were killed in World War II.

After the Second World War, the population rose to over 800. Housing was urgently needed for the people, who mostly came from the eastern regions of Silesia , East Prussia and Pomerania . The Ackerwiese, Hungerkamp and Zum Siek settlements were founded to meet the demand. With the currency reform of 1948 (West Germany) in 1948, the economic and social situation of the people improved. A large part of the population was still employed in agriculture. Edemissen had its own dairy from 1896 to 1972 . The savings and loan association founded in 1900 as well as the Raiffeisen cooperative still exist today and are of supra-local importance; they are branches of Sparkasse Einbeck and VR-Bank in southern Lower Saxony . A water pipe, threshing and cold house cooperative also served to cover the communal needs. The sports field set up in 1948 with the clubhouse modernized at the beginning of the 21st century, the new village school built in 1950 and the barbecue hut built in 1994 also contribute to this. The old school, built in 1870/71, was demolished in 1984.

Village community center

The village school was closed due to falling student numbers in the 1970s and the building was converted into a village community center. Since then, the students have been going to primary school in Drüber and secondary schools in Einbeck.

In the course of the economic miracle , the proportion of those employed in industry and crafts increased steadily, so that the importance of agriculture in economic life decreased. Compared to other places in the region, the number with z. At present, however, nine farms are still relatively high. There has recently been a trend towards service occupations. The population has been decreasing since the 1950s and has been below 500 again since the beginning of the 21st century.

In the course of the regional and administrative reform in Lower Saxony, Edemissen was incorporated into the city of Einbeck on March 1, 1974.
