history

Prehistory and early history

The Ithbörde through which the Lenne flows, with its fertile loess soils, will have been settled relatively early. Evidence of this is given by the finds in the Ith caves near Eschershausen, which can be assigned to the single grave culture of the Neolithic and the Aunjetitz culture of the early Bronze Age. The Aunjetitz finds in the Rothestein Cave are among the most western finds of this culture.

At the turn of the times, the Eschershausen region was part of the tribal area of ​​the Cherusci , who were incorporated into the Saxon tribal association in the fourth century.

middle Ages

Eschershausen was founded at the time of the Saxon Wars in the 8th century, when the place name endings -hausen / -husen, mostly combined with a personal name, dominated. This is also indicated by the Eschershausen Church, which is dedicated to Saint Martin , the imperial saint of the Franks.

The place was created at the intersection of the old Hellwege Cologne / Höxter-Braunschweig and Hameln-Einbeck. In the year 775, Charlemagne will have touched the place on his way from Brunsberg near Höxter-Godelheim to the Oker.

The first reliable mention of Eschershausen is between 1015 and 1036 in the Vita Meinwerci as Assiereshusun.

Eschershausen was the only church in the Wikanafeld , a lower part of Gudingau . While Wikanafelde with Eschershausen still belonged to the East Westphalian part of the tribal duchy of Saxony, the neighboring Tilithigau to the west already belonged to Engern , i.e. the central part of Old Saxony. The Gudingau belonged to the Diocese of Hildesheim.

Around the year 1100, Bishop Udo von Hildesheim recruited Dutch or Flemish new settlers to settle in the undeveloped forest areas in the Weser and Leinebergland near Eschershausen. The rights of these settlers were laid down in the "Eschershausen Treaty". Although the Hager colonization with the Hägerrecht was successful and spread in a somewhat different form with Hagenrecht from the Taunus to Western Pomerania, almost all of the Hägerhufensiedlung around Eschershausen fell into desolation again. Today there is only one existing Hägerort in the area around Eschershausen, Buchhagen . This place no longer has the original Hägerhufenflur. The village of Heinrichshagen is not a Hägerhufensiedlung. Its name probably goes back to a "Waldhagen".

With the extinction of the nobles of Homburg in 1409, Eschershausen came to the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel and was part of the Lower Saxon Empire from 1500/1512 .

Modern times

In 1535 the princely office responsible for Eschershausen was moved from Homburg to Wickensen, which is now part of the city. In 1542 the Brunswick Duke Heinrich II built an official building there, partly from stones from the dilapidated castle.

In 1736 the south side of the old church collapsed during a service. On the first day of Pentecost in 1746, the new building was consecrated as St. Martin's Church.

In 1742, the Duke of Braunschweig had a stone arch bridge built over the Lenne, which was only intended for safe passage of the mail car during floods.

In 1806 the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel went under at the end of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation. During the French period from 1807 to 1813, Eschershausen was the capital of the canton of Eschershausen in the Einbeck district in the Leine department of the Kingdom of Westphalia . In 1814 the Duchy of Braunschweig (from 1922 Free State of Braunschweig ) was newly established at the Congress of Vienna and remained with it until 1941.

The postal history of Eschershausen shows the importance of the place as part of the Braunschweig – Holzminden postal route ; The current district of Wickensen was also a post on the Braunschweig-Holzminden postal route .

In 1833 Eschershausen was granted city rights when Duke Wilhelm confirmed that it had held urban rights for a long time (at least since 1630) and should therefore also be considered a city. At that time the place had 1145 inhabitants. Around 1860 one of the rare natural asphalt deposits was discovered in Hils . As a result of the asphalt boom that was triggered, eight asphalt factories were founded by 1914, and the number of inhabitants rose to 2039 by 1910.

In 1900 the city received a train station in the course of the completion of the railway line of the Vorwohle-Emmerthaler Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft (VEE).

In the course of an exchange of territory between the Free States of Braunschweig and Prussia, Eschershausen came to the Prussian Province of Hanover as part of the Holzminden district in 1941. This ended the 500-year membership in the duchy or the state of Braunschweig. In 1946 the district of Holzminden first became part of the new Free State of Hanover, then in the same year part of the newly founded State of Lower Saxony.

In World War II existed in Holzen in Eschershausen of 14 September 1944 to April 3, 1945 by a specimen thickness of up to 2,000 forced laborers , a satellite camp of Buchenwald concentration camp ( code name stone), which in the underground factories were used for military equipment Hils. At the beginning of April 1945, the forced laborers were taken to the Buchenwald concentration camp. At noon on April 7, 1945, Eschershausen was occupied by the American 83rd Infantry Division. There was no war-related destruction. After the end of the war, Eschershausen took in 2,077 displaced persons, mainly Silesians, who arrived in four transports in 1946. In 1946, the population had doubled to 4,337, more than half of the population were refugees and displaced persons.

On August 28, 1955, Eschershausen was hit by a flood disaster after severe storms . Several houses were destroyed.

In 1965 Eschershausen had about 4000 inhabitants and in 1996 there were 4260 inhabitants in the city.

On July 1, 1973, the Eschershausen District Court was dissolved and responsibilities were transferred to the District Court of the district town of Holzminden. This ended the Eschershausen-Wickensen jurisdiction after 438 years.

Until January 1, 2011, Eschershausen was the seat of the Samtgemeinde Eschershausen , which then merged to form the Samtgemeinde Eschershausen-Stadtoldendorf .

Place names

In older research, Astereshusen / Astiereshusen, dated to 891, from the Traditiones Corbeienses were seen as the first mention of Eschershausen. In modern literature, these mentions, dated from 968 onwards, are equated with the deserted Osterhusen near Mengeringhausen (today part of Bad Arolsen in Hesse).

The first names of the place are 1015–1036 Assiereshusun ( Vita Meinwerci ), around 1040 Aschereshuson or Ascgereshuson ( Vita Godehardi ), 1062 Aschereshusen (certificate from Emperor Heinrich IV. ), 1134–1137 Eschereshusen (copy book of the Amelungsborn monastery ), 1141 Eschereshusen (certificate of Bishop Bernhard von Hildesheim ), 1146 Eschershusen and 1179 Eschershusen (document from Bishop Konrad von Hildesheim).

The basic word is "-husen". The determiner contains “Askigēr,” which is only sporadically documented. The first element “aski” means “ash”, the second element “ gairu ”, meaning “spear”. In the native Platt, the name was Eschershiusen. The inhabitants of the city are called Eschershäuser.

Incorporations

On January 1, 1973, the neighboring community of Scharfoldendorf was incorporated. On January 1, 1974, an inhabited part of the community-free area of ​​Eschershausen with about 100 inhabitants at that time was added.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In red a striding, blue armored golden lion , underneath the golden uncial capital letter E. "

Justification for the coat of arms: Klemens Stadler says in his book: “The first seal of that time since 1550 was created around 1500. It shows, without a shield, a lion striding to the left over the initial of the place name, which is heraldically more common in Brunswick . This used to be referred to the noble lords of Homburg , who probably granted market rights in the 14th century. It is more likely that the lion is the Guelph , since Eschershausen came to the Brunswick dukes in 1409 . In the 17th century the letters were also left out of the seals; henceforth the lion usually appeared crowned. Recently they returned to the oldest model and gave the initial the current design. "

flag

00Hoisted flag: "The flag has red and yellow stripes with the coat of arms in the middle."

Monuments

• War memorial from 1921 for the fallen soldiers of the First World War, market square
• Wilhelm Raabe Monument, Raabestrasse. Inauguration on September 8, 1931.
• Bertoldi stone, an atonement or memorial stone made of red sandstone, with a Gothic cross in relief on both sides. The circular inscription arranged around the motif reads "HIC FVIT INTERFECTVS H [er] MANN [us] PARV [us] F [ilius] B [er] TOLDI †", underneath "ANNO DOM [ini] M CCC LXX". In translation: “Here Hermann, Bertold's little son, was murdered. In the year of the Lord 1370. “The stone has been set up by the chapel in the Scharfoldendorf district since 2003, before it was on the right-hand side of the road to Lüerdissen (B 240) in the Feldmark, shortly after the Scharfoldendorf exit. In earlier times it is said to have stood there nearby "under the neck dishes" or on the "Galgenbrink".
• Executioner's stone, a cross stone also made of red sandstone, with a broad Latin cross on the front. Under the left arm of the cross there is a relief of an ax. The back shows a grooved cross. The age is not known, due to the cross on both sides, a higher age than that of the Bertoldi stone is assumed. The ax as a symbol of the medieval high and blood court is certainly related to the high and neck court of the Gau Wikanafelde. For current and previous locations see under Bertoldi-Stein.

societies

Economy and Infrastructure

education

The Wilhelm Raabe School Center

• Kindergarten Eschershausen “The wild ravens”, Am Kindergarten
• Eschershausen primary school , Wilhelm Raabe school center, Raabestrasse
• Eschershausen secondary and secondary school , Wilhelm Raabe school center, Jahnstrasse

traffic

Bundesstrasse 64 and Bundesstrasse 240 run through Eschershausen . The B 240 coming from Bodenwerder crosses in the center with the B 64 (Brauhaus-Kreuzung) and crosses the Ith in the direction of Hanover , where it ends at the B 3 at Eime . Since the Ith, the longest mountain range in Northern Germany with a length of 22 km, is only crossed by two streets, the steep Ithstrasse with its hairpin bend is both the most important traffic connection between the Holzminden district and the state capital Hanover, as well as a traffic barrier. A multiple suggested Ith tunnel has not yet been implemented in concrete plans.

In 2016, the construction of the 5.4 km long northeast bypass began in order to reduce the traffic load in the town center; In 2007, 13,000 vehicles were counted here per day. The north-east bypass will replace most of the currently three-kilometer-long, sometimes narrow and curvy local transit of the B 64, and relocate the west junction (roundabout) of the B 64 and B 240 between Scharfoldendorf and Lüerdissen and the east junction near Wickensen in front of the city. To this end, a new, 4.6 km long route is being built between the Ith ridge and Eschershausen, which will lead from the B 64 near Wickensen to the junction with the B 240 between Scharfoldendorf and Lüerdissen. The share of the construction section of the northeast bypass for the B 240 is around 0.9 km. The total costs amount to around 21 million euros and are borne by the federal government.

With the east bypass, a second construction phase is planned, the west bypass with around 3.5 km of the B 64 to completely relieve through traffic.

Eschershausen station was on the Emmerthal – Vorwohle railway line . The railway line has now been dismantled, but the station building is still there.

Sports facilities

Mineral water outdoor pool

• Sports center with outdoor pool (since 1928), sports field and sports hall, Alte Mühle / Jahnstraße

Established businesses

KG with around 230 employees and manufactured concrete slabs. In 2004 it merged with KANN GmbH Baustoffwerke in Bendorf-Mülhofen . Production in Eschershausen came to an end at the end of 2016 and the last 50 employees were laid off.

The book and offset printing company C. Bruns KG was founded in 1896 . In 1925 the Haasper Brothers commissioned a sawmill . Deutsche Gummiboot GmbH, founded in 1951, is now part of the British Survitec Group and has almost 100 employees. In 1957 Rudolf Leibing founded the vehicle construction company of the same name. PyCom GmbH & Co. KG is a leader in school chalk and produces chalk on the Ith. The company was originally founded under the name Kreidefabrik Jürgen Knopf in 1950 in Hehlen.
