geography

The place is southwest of the Hannover-Langenhagen airport in the immediate vicinity. The neighboring town to the east is Schulenburg ; to the west are the towns of Berenbostel and Stelingen , which belong to the town of Garbsen .

history

Engelbostel celebrated its 975th anniversary in 2008, but it is believed that the place was founded around the year 900.

As early as "around 1100", judged the archaeologist Helmut Plath based on soil finds, the St. Gallenhof , "the nucleus of the city" of Hanover , was assigned to the parish of St. Marien zu Engelbostel. But the church building itself was first handed down to the Marienwerder monastery in 1196 in deeds of donation from Count von Roden . The church tower of the Martinskirche Engelbostel , as it was built on its predecessors in the 15th century, is probably still standing today. The new nave was leaned against him in 1788.

For the year 1808 the files of the parish archives report in connection with his economic income from 64 houses in the village. The name "Engelbostel" is derived from the original "Endelindebostelde" or "Hendelingeburstelle", which means something like: "Castle place of a nobleman". This makes Engelbostel the oldest part of the city of Langenhagen.

In 1928 the previously unincorporated manor district Kananohe was merged with the community Engelbostel.

On March 1, 1974, on the occasion of the regional reform in Lower Saxony, the previously independent community Engelbostel was incorporated into Langenhagen.

coat of arms

Engelbostel coat of arms
 Blazon : “In red over green ground a silver church tower (Engelbostel), covered with a red shield , in it a golden lion holdinga fallen sword . At the top on both sides of the tower a silver, three-leaf linden branch . "
Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms is intended to symbolically represent the past and present of the history of the village of Engelbostel. The church tower used to be a defense tower at the same time . As a symbol of the court linden tree, the linden leaves are intended to express the fact that Engelbostel used to be the seat of a Gogericht , the same applies to the sword in the right front paw of the lion, which is supposed to represent the place's earlier affiliation to the Langenhagen office .
