Around 1906: The ferry from Stöcken over the leash to the fields at Letter

The Stöcken-Letter ferry was a ferry to cross the Leine near Hanover . It connected the later Hanoverian district of Stöcken with Letter at Seelze .

history

Maria Blank, a widow of Anderten , set up the oldest known ferry at Stöcken as early as 1700 during the time of the Electorate of Hanover in order to reach her fields near Letter from her estate "zu Stöckheim" .

From 1752 a "Wyneken" set up another private ferry to connect with his fields, which was often used by other people. Before 1893, the Graf family, who lived in Stöcken, operated the ferry, later their son-in-law Hans Otto. Only the completion of the Klappenburg Bridge made ferry traffic superfluous from 1936.

Remarks

  1. ↑ Deviating from this - possibly a mix-up due to the similarity of names - the Schwanenburg Bridge, built between 1956 and 1957, is named as the reason for the suspension of the ferry service ; Compare Fehre Stöcken-Letter , in Günter Gebhardt: Military, Transport and Economy in the Middle of the Electorate and Kingdom of Hanover 1692 - 1866 (= studies on the history of Lower Saxony , vol. 1), Stuttgart: Ibidem-Verlag, 2010, ISBN 978-3 -8382-0184-9 , p. 134; limited preview in Google Book search
