The districts of Göttingen

Weende is a northern district of the Lower Saxony university town of Göttingen . Together with Deppoldshausen, it forms a locality within the meaning of Lower Saxony's municipal constitution law.

geography

Weende is located in the north of Göttingen on the eastern slope of the Leinegraben .

Weende is one of the most populous districts of the university city of Göttingen. The neighboring districts are the Weststadt with the Holtenser Berg and Holtensen in the west on the other side of the railway line and the Leine . Nikolausberg and Deppoldshausen are separated by agricultural land in the east and the north town in the south. Weende has now grown together with the northern part of the city. The center of the municipality of Bovenden is located north of Weende .

Surname

The name "Weende" originally means "place where there is pasture land (pasture place, pasture place)". Older forms of Weende's name are Uuinide (year 966 , probably first documented mention), Winithi (1004, etymologically original name form), Venede (1251), Wende (n) (from 1309), Weende Dorf (around 1616). The name was transferred to the creek Weende (also called Weendebach) flowing through Weende, which flows into the Leine near Nörten-Hardenberg and thus belongs to the river system of the Weser . The Lutter brook also flows through Weende in the south (along federal road 27 ) and flows into the Leine west of the town on the north side.

History and structure

Weende was first mentioned in a document, probably around 966. This happened when Emperor Otto I gave the Enger monastery two Hufen land in Lenglern and Winidi from his property . This property later came to the Helmarshausen monastery , as a grant from 1394 shows, which in turn sold its property as a fief, but maintained the rights to the so-called "Weender mill" until 1852. In addition to the monasteries of Enger and Helmershausen, the Hilwartshausen monastery also owned land in Weende, as confirmed in 1003 from the abandonment of its goods by the monastery founders. In the middle of the 12th century, the abbess Eilika of the Ringelheim monastery gave the diocese of Hildesheim a Vorwerk in Weende as a gift. In 1180 which was Augustinian nuns - monastery founded, which here from its original location in Nicholas Berg was moved. At the urging of the FDP parliamentary group, the southern part of the monastery park with trees was converted into an industrial area with small businesses (metalworking, printing, plumbers, roller shutter construction) in the 1970s. Only part of the wall remained without connection to the original park area.

Little is left of the former village structure, most of the buildings originally used for agriculture have now been converted or demolished. Since the 19th century, Weende has developed into a suburb and residential town with larger industrial settlements ( Hindalco Industries (formerly Novelis , before that Alcan Aluminum), Holz-Henkel, Huhtamaki (formerly Rube)). Only in the northeastern adjoining Deppoldshausen - consisting essentially of the buildings of an emigrant farm - is a rural style of construction with courtyards and large fields prevailing.

Until its incorporation on July 4, 1964, Weende was an independent municipality.

Weende has an extensive infrastructure: University area north, shops (supermarkets, hardware stores, electrical wholesale markets, furniture stores and representatives of almost all major car manufacturers), two Evangelical Lutheran and one Roman Catholic parish.

In addition to the old village, the following newer settlements belong to Weende:

  • Weende Nord: In terms of population, the largest part of Weendes (2,922 residents), a former development area that was built in the 1970s to 1990s.
  • Papenberg: a new housing estate at the Göttingen Clinic that was built between the 1960s and 1990s
  • Dull oak: Since the 1980s, a new housing estate to the east between Weende Altdorf and the north university area, near the Göttingen police station .

Buildings

Church and monastic buildings

Monastery grounds

Office building in the monastery park

The actual Weende Monastery has not been preserved. Remains of the monastery property, which was separated off by the Reformation, can still be seen in the monastery park, although these no longer date from the Middle Ages, but from the mid-18th century. Examples are part of the listed wall, the gatehouses, farm workers' quarters and the office building. The official building of the former monastery was built at the instigation of the monastery administrator Cleve according to plans by the master builder Schaedler 1752–1756 as a simple, symmetrical solid building with a central projection.

Evangelical Church of St. Petri

St. Petri Church, the oldest building in Weendes

The Protestant St. Petri Church, with its Romanesque church tower, which was probably built around 1180, is the oldest intact building in the area. The ridge on the gable roof, however, is considerably younger. The nave was completely renovated in 1758-60 or rebuilt using older parts and received baroque windows and portals. The interior fittings with the pulpit altar and galleries also date from this period. The altar is oriented towards the tower, i.e. to the west (a peculiarity that only a few churches share). In 1773, a hereditary burial of the family of Oberamtmann Schlemm from Harste was set up in the tower.

Evangelical Christophorus Church

The Christophorus Church, which was built from 1961 to 1964, is also part of the Weende. The design of the church and the design of many furnishings came from Olaf Andreas Gulbransson . The roof consists of a surface that is curved in two directions and covered with sheet copper. On the east wall of the Christophoruskirche is the painting The Black Sun by Adi Holzer . Due to static problems, the church interior had to be closed to the public some time ago.

Catholic Church of St. Vincent

Catholic Church of St. Vincent

On April 18, 1960, cathedral capitular and dean R. Marheineke laid the foundation stone of the parish church of St. Vinzenz for the largest Catholic parish in Göttingen with approx. 5000 members. The church was consecrated on December 18, 1960 by Bishop Heinrich Maria Janssen . It bears the name of St. Vincent de Paul ( Patron's Day on September 27). In the course of the implementation of the key issues paper “2020”, the independent parishes “St. Vinzenz, Göttingen ”and“ St. Paulus , Göttingen ”with effect from September 1st, 2008 (0:00 am) to form a newly established congregation called“ Catholic parish of St. Paulus, Göttingen ”. The number of members is approx. 8800 Catholics.

When you enter the church, your gaze falls on the altarpiece “The Emmaus Disciples”. It is a sgraffito (scratch plaster) with a mosaic inlay . The illustration shows the risen Christ in Emmaus breaking bread between the two disciples. This altarpiece was redesigned in 1988 by the artist Hanns Joachim Klug from Hanover. The golden cross was added as a background. The color (changed from green to white since 2008) of the rear wall continues as a band on the side walls into the entrance area. It should clarify the closeness of the space, which looks like a ship's hull.

The tabernacle , also designed by Klug, has rose quartz and rock crystals from the Atlas Mountains worked into its doors .

The wood-carved Madonna shows “Mary walking into the community”. It was donated by a Stalingrad survivor. He had vowed to give a Madonna to a diaspora congregation if they returned home happily.

The way of the cross in the window niches and the crib that is set up at Christmas time are wood carvings from Oberammergau .

On the back wall, in the entrance area of ​​the church, there is a Pietà . It is a copy of a Mother of Sorrows from the Lake Constance area from the 15th century. Since 1996 the church has had a new organ, built by the Sauer company, Höxter-Ottbergen.

The church also has a side chapel, which is often used for weekday services and for the children's church ( twice a month on Sundays). Here hangs a relief of St. Anthony with the smiling baby Jesus in his arms.

The parish is shaped by the university climate in the city, where people from all social classes feel at home. The catchment area of ​​the parish of St. Vinzenz includes the northern part of the city with the districts Weende, Nikolausberg, Herberhausen and Roringen as well as the community parts of the Bovenden with Lenglern and Eddigehausen.
