badges and flags

Old coat of arms from the beginning of the 20th century
Seal of Eschenrode at the end of the 20th century

The coat of arms was approved on May 6, 2009 by the district.

Blazon : “In silver on the raised central peak of a green Dreiberg, a red church with a pointed and crossed tower, three window openings in the nave and an open door and two window openings in the tower; between two green mountain ash trees with red berries growing out of the outer peaks of the Dreiberg and disappearing into the outer edge; the Dreiberg is covered with a silver bell. "

Referring to the place name, the community had a coat of arms before, but this was not approved. There is also an image seal of the community. Both templates show a natural tree with no generic feature, which is probably supposed to be an ash tree.

It was a resolution of the municipal council meeting on December 18, 2008 to bring the coat of arms with new symbols representing the location more individually in an approval process. The following symbols were approved by the municipal council on January 29, 2009:

1. The Halgenberg. This mountain is represented by the three mountain in the shield.

2. The chapel on the Halgenberg

3. The bell that, according to legend, was found by shepherds

4. Two into the picture towering mountain ash on the basis of the name

The coat of arms was designed by the municipal heraldist Jörg Mantzsch and included in the approval process. The colors of the parish are: green - silver (white).

Flag of Eschenrode

The flag is striped green and white (1: 1) (horizontal shape: stripes running horizontally, lengthways shape: stripes running vertically) and has the coat of arms in the center.

Culture and sights

church

The Eschenrode Church is dedicated to Saint Stephen . It has a late baroque interior with high arched windows. It contains a rare Bode organ, a baptismal angel and, according to the Nievoldhagen legend , a bronze bell found in the forest . Nievoldhagen was a nearby settlement, of which you can still see the foundation walls of the former church. The inscription on the bell shows that it was cast by clawes backmester van magdeborch in 1511 . There are also two steel bells in the church tower , which were purchased for two bronze bells confiscated for weapons production during the First World War .

In the years 1568-1616 the original form of today's church was built. Due to the lack of space due to more residents, a gallery ( Prieche ) was built with the inscription: The wood for this Prieche was given by Michael Müller, master shepherd . Around 1600 the Nievoldhagen bell is hung in the tower. In 1720 the church burned down except for the tower and was rebuilt as it still exists today.

Legend of the bell of Niewoldthagen

Nievoldhagen bell

Three shepherds, one from Behnsdorf , one from Hödingen and one from Eschenrode, looked after the pigs in the small oaks , as the acorn fattening was good and the fields and pastures were grazed. Suddenly they saw something flashing in the hollow that the pigs had dug up. Upon closer inspection, they recognized this shimmering something as a bell. They knew that this could only have come from the desert town of Niewoldthagen. The question now arose what should be done with her. All three shepherds had found them, none of them had a privilege. They decided to run to their hometowns and get a vehicle to take the bell away. The first person to arrive at the site with a team should be able to bring the bell to his home village. The bell now reached Eschenrode, because the Eschenrode shepherd met a team on the way that immediately drove back with him to recover the bell. Now the fifteen hundredweight bronze bell from 1511 hangs in the church tower in Eschenröder and always shouts: "Never - wold, never - wold ..."

Religions

Former Catholic chapel

The parish of Eschenrode belongs to the parish of Behnsdorf, in the west region of the parish of Haldensleben-Wolmirstedt of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany .

As a result of the Second World War due to the influx of expellees from the eastern territories of the German Reich Catholics in since the re- reformation had settled Protestant Eschenrode, a former blacksmith became a chapel rebuilt. It also served as a pilgrimage chapel for the Schoenstatt Movement . The picture on the back wall of the sanctuary was a copy of the miraculous image of the refuge of sinners as it is in every Schoenstatt chapel . In 1992 the chapel was given up because the number of Catholics had decreased again. Today the church " St. Joseph and St. Theresa of the Child Jesus " in Weferlingen, about six kilometers away, is the closest Catholic church. The former chapel is now used as a storage room.

To the federal highway 1 , which connects Braunschweig with Berlin , it is about eleven kilometers in a south direction. The Bundesautobahn 2 junction Alleringersleben (64) is reached after 14 kilometers. The national road 42 , linking Haldensleben and Weferlingen , goes through the town.
