The population development in historical times is documented for Eickhorst independently of the community of Vordorf. Since the incorporation and the establishment of the joint municipality in 1974, the population development for the place Eickhorst has been documented by the joint municipality Papenteich . As of December 31, 2006 Eickhorst had 477 inhabitants.
Eickhorst experienced a strong increase in the number of inhabitants, like almost all places in the municipality, as a result of the Second World War due to refugees and displaced persons who settled in the village.
The last strong boost came in the 1990s. The designation of new building areas led to suburbanization . This was favored by the location only a short distance from Braunschweig, Wolfsburg and the close connection to Autobahn 2 . According to model calculations, the population of Eickhorst, like that of the entire Papenteich, will continue to grow in the coming decades due to these factors.
language
