Eickenrode ( Low German Eikenro'e ) is a village in the municipality of Edemissen in the Peine district in Lower Saxony .
geography
Eickenrode is located on the southern edge of the Lüneburg Heath .
In the east the river Erse flows past the place and in the north-west there are two large gravel lakes, of which the northernmost is getting closer and closer to the place.
history
First mentioned in a document as "Eykenrode" in 1342, Eickenrode belonged to the Gografschaft Edemissen in the Meinersen office from 1532 to 1885 . Then the place came to the district of Peine until today. In 1966 Eltze formed a joint community with the villages of Dedenhausen , Wehnsen, Plockhorst, Eickenrode and Ohof . In the course of the regional reform in Lower Saxony, on March 1, 1974, the unified municipality of Edemissen was formed from the localities of the joint municipality of Edemissen and eight other independent municipalities. The name Eickenrode comes from the Low German from "Eicken rohen", which means to clear oak, which also explains the symbolism of the coat of arms. Since the nationally important post and trade route Braunschweig – Celle no longer leads via Eickenrode, the village has been a bit out of the way in an attractive landscape, which the residents mostly see as an advantage.
Population development

religion
Although the size of the village and the church building suggests a chapel community, Eickenrode is a church community. The Protestant denomination was already consolidated in the early 16th century. The right of patronage was owned by the von Oberg from Duttenstedt, whose Tadensen Vorwerk was parish off to Eickenrode. At the time of the introduction of the Reformation, Eickenrode seems to have been an independent parish. Later it was connected with Duttenstedt and in 1805 with Eltze, in between it was its own parish from 1776 to 1805. A coat of arms from Oberg, formerly used in the choir window, contained the year 1664 and the church registers happen to start with this year. The old bell bears the year 1507.
The Evangelical Lutheran Nikolai parish today belongs to the Peine parish.

The districts of Eickenrode and Plockhorst form a joint local council.
