Memory of the desert at Eldagsen

City of Eldagsen is a district of the city of Springe in Lower Saxony . Until the incorporation in 1974 the place had its own city rights .

geography

The Abraham is located northeast of Eldagsen . East lie Haller castle and Alferde , south Holtensen , west of the Saupark . The place is located in the historical landscape of the Calenberger Land and within the Calenberger Loessbörde with fertile arable soils.

history

Eldagsen is mentioned as early as 775, when Charlemagne had a wooden church built in Eildagessen. In 866 the place is called Ealdeshusen in the Corveyer traditions . Eldagsen historically belonged to the Gau Guddingen . Eldagsen received city rights from Ludolf II von Hallermund in the 13th century and was surrounded by a city wall with two gates.

Among other things , the Counts of Hallermund entrusted the von Jeinsen , von Stemmen and von Wedemeyer families with Burgmannshöfen in Eldagsen. For example, the later so-called von Jeinsensche Gut comprised the north-eastern quarter within the Eldagsen city fortifications.

By the 16th century, eight neighboring villages became desolate , with their arable land falling to the town of Eldagsen.

The place was known for the shoemaking trade , mustard and honey cake . The oldest house is on Marktstrasse, it is one of two houses that survived the great city fire of 1626.

Witch trials

In connection with the witch trial against Sidonia of Saxony , Duke Erich II arranged for the city of Eldagsen to investigate the witch trials because new devil arts had occurred there . In these witch trials, ordinary people from the population were initially accused, but the proceedings later expanded against women from noble families.

The duke later decided to take the trials and to move the accused to Neustadt. In the witch persecution in Eldagsen several people were accused and executed in 1572: Annecke Lange , her husband Hans Lange and Gretke Oelsin . The trials were continued in the witch hunt in Neustadt am Rübenberge .

Disasters

The magazine for the new history and geography reported in 1773 about the disasters that afflicted Eldagsen in the course of history :

The city has already suffered fire damage several times before, as in 1469, 1508, 1552 because it was completely burned down in the 2nd penal feud from Hildesheim to the rectory, also in 1553. because the enemies in Duke Heinrichs Volk in the night Eldagsen fell, looted, and burned down 8 heaps and several barns. The aforementioned complete cremation took place during the Tyllian incursion on June 10th, 1626, because Eldagsen was brought about by a kayserl. Colonels named Plankhart were set on fire at four corners, and were completely burned down together with the town hall, churches and tower. At that time only a few houses remained standing in the lower suburb, like all of this the previous old description from 1653. Same as that of the mayor Baring in 1715. also to Königl. Report sent to the government more extensive reports, the latter touches on what is otherwise also known, namely that in 1666 the so-called Ebern = street was ignited by lightning in a thunderstorm, and burned down, in 1676. In this street there was again fire, and two whole streets were opened burned down new ones; also 1684. April 14th the lower suburbs fell completely into ashes, up to two heaps.

The conflagration in 1742 was still more terrible. On May 18th, half of the city, and indeed the upper part of it, including the suburb, in general 106. Dwelling houses, without barns, stables and outbuildings, were cremated within two hours.

The new building is by a high royal. Government-ordered commission re-established and established.

A memorial stone in the town center commemorates the battle of Langensalza on June 27, 1866 during the German War . In the battle in which the Kingdom of Hanover defended itself against the Prussians , soldiers from Eldagsen were also deployed.

Loss of city rights

Eldagsen did not have a direct rail link and therefore lost its importance with the rise of industrialization in the 19th century. During the regional and administrative reform it was assigned to the city of Springe on March 1, 1974 and was the only city in the region to lose its city rights. After protests by the people of Eldagsen, the district regained its municipal naming rights and has since been known as the "Stadt Eldagsen, district of the city of Springe".

Culture and sights

The lower parish is said to be the oldest building in Eldagsen

Evangelical Church of St. Alexandri

The old town of Eldagsen is still surrounded by two streams - the Gehlenbach in the north and the Wöhlbach in the south - and crossed by the almost dead straight "Long Street". This gives you an idea of the size of Eldagsen in the Middle Ages. The city lies in a sloping, slightly hilly area: North of Lange Straße is the "Upper Town", south of it the "Lower Town". Since 2008, a historical circular route has led through both parts of the city, on which the historical buildings and squares are marked and explained with plaques.

Typical of Eldagsen are the half-timbered houses with gable ends, some of which are particularly well-preserved in the lower town on Marktstrasse and on Am Wöhlbach. One of them is the lower rectory , which is possibly the oldest surviving house in Eldagsen.

On the market square, the Evangelical Church of St. Alexandri , founded in the 12th century, is worth seeing, the west tower of which dates from the Romanesque period and the altar shrine from around 1480. In the Thirty Years' War it was badly damaged and therefore rebuilt in the 18th century. The Catholic Church of All Saints is located in the Upper Town, it was built in 1959 by Josef Fehlig and today belongs to the parish of Christ König in Springe. Not far from here, a millstone on Wallstrasse reminds of the mustard mill that was operated here until 1964.

The Paterhof probably belonged to the Marienrode monastery in Neuhof / Hildesheimer Wald / Marienrode near Hildesheim. The estate was destroyed in the Thirty Years War. The house was built in the first half of the 18th century, the other buildings were built in the 19th century.

In the past, Eldagsen was also known for its mustard and honey cake trade . As a reminder of these two traditions, the annual honey cake mustard festival has existed since 2000 . This attracts thousands of people to Eldagsen every year.

In the eastern part of Langen Strasse, a piece of the old city wall is still preserved on Triftstrasse ; the “Lower City Gate” and two other mills, the Lindenberg mill and the Solles mill, used to be here. Opposite the building of a honey and gingerbread factory founded in 1880 and operated until 1951 is noteworthy.

Architectural monuments

societies

Eldagsen is best known for its shooting festival, the "Eldagser Free Shooting". The tradition of this event goes back to the Thirty Years War .

Four rifle clubs were formed in the village. The oldest club is the "Eldagser Jägercorps von 1845 e. V. "with the" Jäger-Jungschützen von 1927 "and a group of students integrated into the Jungschützen. Other local shooting clubs are the "Schützengilde Eldagsen", the "Damen-Schießclub Eldagsen" and the "Schießsportgemeinschaft Eldagsen von 1999" (SSG Eldagsen). In the SSG Eldagsen the active sport shooters of the hunter corps and the ladies shooting club are combined, since the hunter corps as well as the ladies shooting club are not members of the district rifle association.

A special feature of Eldags club life is the number of choirs in relation to the number of inhabitants. There are the following 6 choirs: mixed choir (project choir of the workers 'education association), church choir, men's choir, men's choir of the workers' education association, gospel choir and children's choir.

Green spaces and recreation

The Holzmühle quarry consists of a former limestone quarry and some of its peripheral areas and has been a nature reserve since December 24, 1985.

South-west corner of the "Zigeunerwäldchen" nature reserve

The Zigeunerwäldchen (official spelling: Ziegeunerwäldchen , e.g. in the regulation on the nature reserve) is a nature reserve in the Lower Saxony town of Springe in the Hanover region . The nature reserve with the sign NSG HA 115 is 15 hectares in size. It is largely from the conservation area surrounded "Haller lowland". The area has been a nature reserve since December 18, 1986. The lower responsible nature conservation authority is the Hanover region. The nature reserve is between the Springer districts of Eldagsen and Gestorf at the foot of the Abrahams . It protects a section of the Haller valley , a tributary of the Leine . The mostly near-natural forest remnants are unused today, but still influenced by earlier use. Willows and a high proportion of tree fungi characterize the forest, in which there is a lot of lying and standing dead wood . On swampy clearings extensive grow reeds stocks and tall sedge . In the west and south, grassland areas are included in the nature reserve. The nature reserve largely borders on arable land. The Lower Saxony Landgesellschaft acquired the Zigeunerwäldchen nature reserve for an area pool. The association Biotop-Management-Initiative e. V. transferred.

Economy and Infrastructure

Springe-Eldagsen station, 1872

Eldagsen can be reached by S-Bahn from Hanover ( line S5 ) in the direction of Hameln , ( Völksen / Eldagsen stop ). There is no bus connection to Eldagsen from the train station, but from the Springe train station and from the Bennigsen stop .

At the "railway king" Bethel Henry Strousberg installed line, which opened in 1872, was at the gates of the neighboring village Völksen the station Eldagsen. It was largely funded by Eldags money. In 1935 it was renamed "Eldagsen-Völksen" and was dismantled as a breakpoint in the 1980s. In 2006 the breakpoint was renamed "Völksen / Eldagsen".

Rejected small train in 1896

In 1896 there was a plan to build a 22.3 km long small train with a 1.00 m wide gauge from Nordstemmen station via Barnten , Schulenburg , Adensen , Hallerburg , Alferde , Eldagsen and Alvesrode to Springe , which would serve both passenger traffic and should serve the transport of goods. The small train was supposed to transport 100,000 passengers and 30,000 tons of goods (including sugar beets for the Nordstemmen sugar factory) annually. The street space of the new town in Adensen was laid out particularly wide so that the planned small train could run alongside the street. The construction of the small train failed due to objections from the city of Eldagsen and its farmers, who did not want to tolerate a railway in their urban area. The railway line had not been allowed to run through the city of Eldagsen either; The result was that the train station of the then town of Eldagsen was built far away in Völksen as the Völksen-Eldagsen train station and the Bahnhofsstraße after Eldagsen became one of the longest train station streets in Lower Saxony.
