It is located southeast of the district town and belongs to the Samtgemeinde Flotwedel . The name of the municipality is coined / shaped by the deciduous tree oak , which is found here more often .
geography
About 500 m southwest of the center of Eicklingen flows past the Fuhse , which separates Eicklingen from the neighboring municipality of Wathlingen . It comes from the Vorharz Mountains in the Salzgitter area and flows into the Aller around 20 km downstream .
Community structure
Eicklingen includes the districts of Klein Eicklingen ( Lüttjen Eikel ), Groß Eicklingen ( Groten Eikel ), Sandlingen ( Santeln ), Schepelse ( Scheipelse ), Neu-Schepelse and Paulmannshavekost. Groß Eicklingen is the old village center of the main town, but is now much smaller than Klein Eicklingen. The two parts of the village are separated by the "Horstgraben", often called "Hoste" by the people of Eickling. The Horstgraben flows into the Fuhse just like the Harlake river . The center of the village is the Amtshof, reopened in 2005, with the newly designed forecourt and the village fountain opposite. The district of Groß Eicklingen is still dominated by agriculture, Klein Eicklingen is characterized by residential developments and an industrial area on the B 214 .

history
Eicklingen emerged from the former communities Groß Eicklingen, Klein Eicklingen and Sandlingen with the residential areas Paulmannshavekost and Schepelse. The merger that took place in 1968 brought a number of changes for the communities. Road construction was intensified in the new municipality, the roads were given a name and all residential properties were given a new house number. The school association was dissolved, the legal successor was the new political municipality.
Great Eicklingen
As you can see from old documents, Groß Eicklingen was called Ekelege in around 1350 (Eek-lage = oak area). Later, around 1438, it was called Ekelinghen. At that time the place had 319 inhabitants. The old office building with a bell tower still exists. There is also the judicial prison from the Prussian era.
Groß Eicklingen has an exclusively agricultural character. There were five businesses in the village in 1963: a bakery, a locksmith's shop, a blacksmith's shop, a wheelwright and a master mason. Around 110 of the total of 525 residents worked in Celle at that time.
Little Eicklingen
Klein Eicklingen [Lüttjen-Eickeln, medieval: Lütteken Ekelege around 1350; Lütteken Ekenlinghen 1438; Eek-lage = oak area] consisted for a long time of two spatially separated districts, the older actual village and the Seelhop located about 200 m south of it, which, however, have now almost completely grown together. The village had a total of 37 farms (6 Vollhöfner, 2 Höfner, 23 Kötner and 6 Brinkitzer), so it was a relatively large farming village. Both districts each had a privileged farm, the old village the noble estate von der Wense, the Seelhop a saddle farm, from which it got its special name.
The more recent further development of Klein Eicklingen was largely determined by the large Heerstrasse from Celle to Braunschweig (B 214), which runs at right angles to the old Dorfstrasse leading to Wienhausen.
Sandlings
The district of Sandlingen comprised as a municipality the districts of Sandlingen, Schepelse and Paulmannshavekost. After the Second World War , the district "Neuschepelse" was built about 1 km west of Schepelse on the Sohnemann property, where 7 houses were soon built. The term “peasantry” - in Low German Buerskopp - for all districts has been retained in the neighboring villages.
The St. Luca Chapel
It is a myth: the St. Lucä Chapel in Eicklingen. Few people were sure of their existence. Further information is missing. It is not even certain that it even existed. The local history researchers who looked at this chapel also firmly believed in its existence, but were never able to determine its exact location. Two possible locations could be located in the course of the research, on the one hand on an area that had previously belonged to the von der Wense estate, and on the other hand near the Wathlinger Feldmark, between Bundesstrasse 214 and Fuhse.
The St. Lucä Chapel was the object of research in the 1970s for Erich Ebeling and Adolf Schumacher, then for Wilhelm Köneke and Helmut Schmidt-Harries and as early as 1900 for the pastor of Wienhausen, Wilhelm Bettinghaus. The latter had in the III. Part of his “Heimathskunde” (1901) did not want to specify the location of the chapel. He wrote: “When it was built and where it stood, whether in Gr.- or in Kl.-Eicklingen, I couldn't find out. It was demolished in 1531 at the same time as the chapels of the local monastery. The local Capellans probably held the service there at certain times. "
Erich Ebeling took the year 1531 as the date of the demolition of the chapel and added: “Why remains an open question. At that time the estate belonged to Mr. Mahrenholtz. Wilhelm Jochen v. Mahrenholtz died around 1650 without descendants. The estate was passed on to the Franz Otto vd Wense family by a loan letter from Duke Christian Ludwig dated March 27, 1655. "
