history

The places Emmendorf, Walmstorf and Nassennottorf are in the valley, Heitbrack on the eastern elevation of the Ilmenau. The first written record of the place Emmanthorpe is the confirmation of the goods of the Oldenstadt monastery from March 2nd, 1006. This makes this village one of the oldest documented settlements in the Uelzen district.

At that time the area belonged to the Bardengau in the province of Ostfalen . Archaeological finds prove that people settled here in the area as early as the Neolithic Age ( funnel beaker culture ) and the Iron Age ( Jastorf culture ).

An important event of regional historical significance occurred in Emmendorf at the beginning of the Lüneburg succession dispute. The male line of the Lüneburg ducal family had died out. Duke Wilhelm v. Despite being married four times, Lüneburg died without leaving a male heir (November 23, 1369). The only son of his brother Otto , who died in 1352 , was, as a document says, "fell with the Rullwegelein from the Brucken near Emmendorf to the Elmenow" and drowned.

The Ilmenau and the bridge near Emmendorf, which for a long time was the only crossing over the Ilmenau between Uelzen and Bevensen, have always played an important role in the life and history of the community villages. In the Thirty Years' War Emmendorf and its bridge is mentioned again on the Ilmenau. At that time the bridges in Medingen and Emmendorf were torn down so that the imperial troops would not come across the Ilmenau.

An Ilmenau crossing opposite the place Walmstorf is mentioned in 1747 and still exists today (bridge). The townships gained importance in terms of transport history due to their immediate location on the so-called “Oldenstädter Karrenweg”, an ancient trade route. The first indication of this route is the confirmation of the Oldenstadt monastery estates from 1142, in which it is said that the abbey owns the customs at the bridge to Uelzen. This path, which hugs the eastern bank of the Ilmenau, probably emerged from the first land connection between Bardowick or Lüneburg and Magdeburg .

The preferred transport vehicle, as the name of the road expresses, was the cart because of the poor road conditions and especially in the hilly terrain on the slopes of the Ilmenau. The hop carts from the Isernhagen office are particularly mentioned for our area; light vehicles with a sweeping attachment.

According to the existing tracks, this Oldenstädter Karrenweg (also winter freight path) was heavily used until around 1700, until the path established for the communion post via Jelmstorf andätendorf (today's B 4) was also released to freight drivers.
