Everloh is a village and district of the city of Gehrden in the Hanover region in Lower Saxony .

history

According to recent research, Everloh was first mentioned in a document as early as the beginning of the 11th century under the name Aewerlan in the deeds of ownership of the Corvey monastery .

For centuries, Everloh consisted of 15 farms, a chapel , a school and a shepherd's house and poor house. The landlords of the place were the lords of Alten, von Reden , von Heimburg , von Lüdersen and the Barsinghausen monastery.

While mainly farmers originally lived in the village, stronger growth set in in the 19th century, primarily due to the influx of craftsmen. Nowadays Everloh is mainly a commuter residence, favored by the transport connection to the federal highway 65 .

Everloh also includes the Erichshof manor south of the village .

On August 1, 1971, the voluntary congregation amalgamated to form the large community of Gehrden.

coat of arms

The design of the coat of arms of Everloh comes from the heraldist and graphic artist Alfred Brecht , born in Gadenstedt and later living in Hanover , who also designed the coats of arms of Bantorf , Barrigsen , Egestorf and many other localities in the Hanover district. The council of the municipality adopted and decided on the coat of arms at its meeting on December 12, 1962. The approval was given by the district president in Hanover.

Everloh Coat of Arms
Blazon : " Gold  : Green divided , above a striding, red-tongued , black wild boar , below over a hollowed golden shield base a golden oak branch with an acorn , accompanied by two oak leaves ."
Foundation of the coat of arms: The place names "Ewerlaen" and "Euerlo", which appeared in documents that are more than 700 years old, are interpreted by the place name researchers as a "settlement near a wood where pigs are driven to fattening". The oak branch symbolizes the light wood of that time, which today has long been plowed. The hollowed-out shield base stands for a depression 80 meters in diameter that still exists today. This may have been a wallow for the knightly wild boar (Sus crofa), which in our time moved into the thickets of the Deisterwald, or in earlier times it was a welcome wallowing place for the domestic pigs from the village. These historical facts formed the basis for the design of the coat of arms. The local history working group recommended that the council of the municipality adopt the coat of arms described above.
