Engensen is a district of the town of Burgwedel in the Hanover region of Lower Saxony with a village character.

history

The three villages of Wettmar , Thönse and Engensen bought themselves out around 1307 from the parish of Burgdorf, which had been responsible until then. Before this time, the Engensen chapel was built from lawn iron stone and boulders , which today belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Parish of St. Marcus (Wettmar-Engensen-Thönse) belongs. It is one of the oldest ecclesiastical buildings in the region.

The villages of the Wettmar parish, which included Wettmar, Engensen and Thönse, have always had guarding and grazing rights and also fattening rights in Wietzenbruch . This was recorded in the inheritance register of the Burgwedel Bailiwick from 1669.

The Engenser's rights are anchored in the Engensian house book. They were more entitled outside the Wietzenbruch and enjoyed the general guardianship with the Ramlingers, which extended to the snow stone at the Behre (beyond the Müggenburger Bohldamm), as long as no disease arose among the cattle (then the cattle could only be driven as far as the bottomless lake ).

On November 2, 1697, the district bailiff of Burgwedel reported on the fire fighting in his area, including in Engensen. After that, there were 7 leather buckets in the chapel to put out the fire.

The main route between Hanover and Celle was from the Middle Ages until 1785, when the "Neue Chaussee" via Schillerslage was put into operation, the old Poststrasse via Engensen. The post house in Engensen was already completed in 1682 with the horse changing. This building was awarded the “freedom and justice” and the unlimited concession for serving wine, beer and brandy.

coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms of Engensen comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Gustav Völker , who designed all coats of arms in the Hanover region. The approval of the coat of arms was granted by the district president in Lüneburg on April 22, 1960.

Blazon : "In green above a silver bar a growing , golden lion , below a golden post horn with a fetter in the colors red and blue ."

Crest Reason: The municipality has Engensen to the 17th century, the free jurisdiction exercised. For this reason the lion was chosen, which already appears in the same version in the municipalities of Wettmar , Otze , Thönse and Ramlingen-Ehlershausen . The silver ribbon reminds us that the postal connection from Celle to Hanover used to go through Engensen. In an emergency, the residents of Engensen were obliged to give the mail car leader and other help. For this reason the post horn was included in the coat of arms.
