Garbsen is an independent municipality according to Lower Saxony municipal law and with over 60,000 inhabitants the second largest city in the Hanover region . It is located northwest of the state capital Hanover . The place name Garbsen can be documented since 1223. Today's 13 districts have developed partly independently until the town of Garbsen was formed within its current boundaries during the regional reform in 1974.
In the course of industrialization and especially after the Second World War, the population of Garbsen and the previous communes increased sharply. With today's district of Auf der Horst, a quarter designed as a residential and working-class district for up to 10,000 residents was created from 1963. Originally planned by the state capital Hanover, Auf der Horst became an important factor for Garbsen's independent urban development over the next few years.
In the first decades of the post-war period, Garbsen was primarily a classic "dormitory town" for numerous workers in Hanover's industrial operations such as VW Commercial Vehicles, Continental or VARTA, now Johnson Controls . Since then, Garbsen has seen a significant change in the economic structure. Mainly medium-sized companies from different industries have set up or settled here, the number of jobs has more than doubled.
With the Production Technology Center (PZH) and the underwater technology center, Garbsen is home to significant parts of the mechanical engineering department of Leibniz University Hannover . By the winter semester 2019/2020, the entire mechanical engineering faculty is to be united on the Garbsen campus, which is currently under construction.

geology
The soils in the urban area are predominantly sandy or boggy (Moorgeest), with the exception of the loamy clayey soils in the Leine-Aue area. The sandy to gravelly deposits are fluvial formations of the last glacial period , the Vistula glacial period , e.g. B. in the area Altgarbsen and Havelse, as well as elsewhere, such as Frielingen and Meyenfeld, melt water deposits z. Partly with overlying ground moraine from the Saale glaciation (Drenthe stage). Furthermore, there are fine to medium sandy dunes in the area of Garbsener Schweiz and Ricklingen Castle . These dunes can also be found on the “Hexenturm” in the neighboring Hinüberschen garden and on the Glockenberg in the Marienwerder monastery forest.
The sand was mined in (old) Garbsen in the period from before the First World War to 1970 in several places and burned into sand-lime bricks in the Garbsen hard stone works (Kiebitzmoor, "Garbsen", "Lower Saxony", "Hansa" and "Hannover") . Garbsen's heights disappeared, and today only street names are reminiscent of it (including Osterberg, Mühlenberg, Streitberg, Pottberg). Sand and gravel for building purposes were extracted from the pit of today's Blue Lake .
Near-surface clays and mudstones from the Lower Cretaceous can be found in the area of the Berenbostel district. The z. In the Berenbostel area, partially marbled claystones of marine origin belong to the formation of the Barremium and the Aptium , further north to Stelingen, Osterwald and Heitlingen, the claystones belong to the formation of the Hauterivium . The clays have also been quarried since the middle of the 19th century and used for brick production (Hannoversche Ziegelei am Kastendamm: today Schwarzer See and Berenbosteler See, Flemmingsche Ziegelei on the "Im Kolke" corridor: today backfilled ( contaminated site ) and built over as an industrial area Garbsen- East).
The following brickworks were found in the Garbsen city area (source: Garbsen local history museum): 1870–1914 Rosemeier brickworks (Havelse), Plass brickworks (Garbsen) and Stille (Garbsen) brickworks, 1895–1919 Schünhoff brickworks (Kastendamm), 1891–1914 Windmeier brickworks (Kastendamm), 1885–1966 Hannoversche brickworks (Kastendamm) and Flemmingsche brickworks (Berenbostel), 1908–1914 Kiebitzmoor hard stone works, 1929–1945 Hansa hard stone works, 1930 - ???? Windmeier hard stone works, Lower Saxony hard stone works 1933–1981 and Hanover hard stone works 1932–1992.
history
Historical overview
Early documented mentions with reference to the area of today's Garbsen are connected with the spatially adjacent Marienwerder monastery, founded in 1196, as well as the county of Lauenrode (13th century) with the area of Ricklingen Castle. The place name "Garbsen", which is either a derivation from a Germanic personal name of the first settlers or, according to another opinion, an abbreviation of "Gerberhausen" (Gerber here job title), can be found in one of the oldest documents from 1223 .
In its early development, the area of today's town of Garbsen was characterized by ridges, bodies of water and moors. Settlement development at that time took place mainly on the formerly wooded, Ice Age ridge.
The localities initially developed relatively independently of one another. Already in 1925, almost half of the population was not part of the agricultural sector, although the number of part-time businesses was much higher then than it is today. In addition to agriculture, brickworks developed due to the availability of raw materials and helped determine economic development.
Through the subsidiary of the " Continental " rubber works (1938) and through the accumulator factory " VARTA " (1938/39) in the Hanoverian district of Stöcken near Garbsen and through the existence of the chemical plant " Riedel-de Haën " (today "Honeywell") Garbsen's external image began to change in Seelze. The rural character was changed or eliminated in the course of development by new buildings.
The municipalities of Garbsen and Havelse, including the then newly built district Auf der Horst, merged on January 1, 1967 to form the new municipality of Garbsen, which received city rights on July 17, 1968. The localities belonged to the district of Neustadt am Rübenberge , which later became part of the Hanover district. As part of the local reorganization ( territorial reform ) on March 1, 1974, the communities of Ricklingen Castle, Horst, Meyenfeld, Frielingen, Osterwald Oberende and Unterende, Stelingen, Berenbostel and Heitlingen were added. At the beginning of the 1980s, the new Garbsen-Mitte district was created, which is still characterized by strong structural growth today. The town hall (moved in 1998), two shopping centers, a cinema, restaurants and cafes are located in Garbsen-Mitte.
Today (as of June 30, 2018) Garbsen counts as a so-called medium - sized center with living and working places of almost 61,000 inhabitants. The area of the former Garbsen is now the district of Altgarbsen.

Population development
In the Middle Ages and the early modern period Garbsen was only a small village with a few dozen inhabitants. The population grew only slowly and fell again and again due to the numerous wars, epidemics and famine. Due to industrialization in the 20th century, population growth accelerated. In 1910 only 757 people lived in the community, by 1966 there were 11,467. With the incorporation of Havelse (11,732 inhabitants in 1966), the population rose to 23,199 on January 1, 1967.
The merger with numerous surrounding communities on March 1, 1974 brought an increase from 29,043 people to over 56,000 inhabitants. On September 30, 2005, the “ official population ” for Garbsen was 63,097 according to an update by the Lower Saxony State Office for Statistics (only main residences and after comparison with the other state offices).
The following overview shows the number of inhabitants according to the respective territorial status. 1730 is an estimate, then census results (¹) or official updates from the State Statistical Office. From 1871, the information relates to the “local population”, from 1925 to the resident population and since 1987 to the “population at the location of the main residence”. Before 1871, the number of inhabitants was determined according to inconsistent survey procedures.

coat of arms
Current coat of arms from 1975
The design comes from the heraldist and author Werner Kaemling , who designed all the coats of arms in the Hanover region. The approval of the coat of arms was granted by the district president in Hanover on April 7, 1975.
|
|
Blazon : " Split of blue and red , in front an upright, red-armored and red-tongued , silver lion with cut back paws at the gap, behind three golden bars ." |
| Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms of the former royal Hanoverian office of Ricklingen was chosen as the basis, as the area of the city of Garbsen (since March 1st 1974) and the area of the old office of Ricklingen almost coincide. The lion, shown striding in half in the old coat of arms, has undergone a stylistic improvement . |
Historical coat of arms from 1967
The design comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Gustav Völker , who designed all coats of arms in the Hanover region. The approval of the coat of arms was granted by the district president in Hanover on December 22, 1966.
.png) |
Blazon : "In blue a silver wall anchor , accompanied on the right by a three-tiered, silver gable , raised with a silver chimney , on the left by asilver hawk sittingon a short branch ." |
| Reasons for the coat of arms: Based on the deliberations in the councils of the formerly independent municipalities Garbsen and Havelse, it was agreed to adopt the two main symbols from the coats of arms of these municipalities. The chimney was taken from the coat of arms of the Garbsen municipality. He points to the sand-lime brick industry in Garbsen, which grew out of considerable sand deposits. A hawk was already depicted in the coat of arms of the municipality of Havelse. The origin of the name Havelse is derived from ("Havekesla" = Habichtswald). The newly added wall anchor symbolizes the permanent union of both communities. |
Historical coat of arms from 1955
The design comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Gustav Völker. The coat of arms was awarded on May 19, 1955 by the Lower Saxony Minister of the Interior .
.png) |
Blazon : "In blue on a green three-mountain , topped with a golden urn , a four-step gable, raised with a silver chimney, accompanied on the right by a golden spike and on the left by a silver fir tree ." |
| Justification for the coat of arms: The urn shown in the Dreiberg indicates that rich urn finds have been made with the considerable sand deposits in the area. The sand-lime brick industry, to which the municipality of Garbsen owes its economic boom, emerged from this sand deposit. Next to the chimney there is an ear of wheat on the left, which indicates the earlier agriculture, and to the right of the chimney there is a fir tree, which is also supposed to indicate the formerly rich forest. |

The new format is intended to attract visitors to places in the city that are usually not associated with art and culture. The artists offer short programs from the fields of music, cabaret and theater, each lasting around 30 minutes and repeated several times throughout the day. This should give the audience the opportunity to visit different venues in one day.
Garbsen does not have its own theater, but two of the three school centers each have a large performance room with professional stage technology and seats for several hundred visitors. The Garbsen cultural association also uses this for its program. In the 2015/16 season, Hardy Krüger Jr. was a guest here. with "Das Boot". In addition, several theater groups and ensembles are active in Garbsen, who also present their pieces on these stages.

It belongs to a supra-regional and networked green system and consists of forest, water and open spaces as well as a classic park area.
The core of the city park is the Black Lake, a former clay pit with an adjacent brick factory. The last element of the former industrial use is a ring oven in the largely natural park design. Today the vault of the ring furnace, which is an important biotope for species protection, is looked after by NABU and used by bats as a roost.
Another special feature of the city park is the tree nature trail with 54 native and naturalized tree species.
To the west of the park, a path leads from the entrance area, which is designed with a fountain, light column and herbaceous beds, through an old orchard and an oak grove. Many yellow wild tulips and blue bell scilla bloom here in spring.
The city park serves as a backdrop for cultural and artistic events such as the traditional ParkPanoptikum, where numerous artists and walk-acts present their performances throughout the park area. Several works of art can also be found in the city park.

Economy and Infrastructure
Technology and business location
The technology and business location Garbsen has experienced strong dynamics over the past 20 years. With 14,160 jobs subject to social security contributions, Garbsen is an important part of the Hanover region as a business location. From 1998 to 2014 the number of employees subject to social security contributions increased by more than 40% from 10,777 to 14,160, the number of inbound commuters increased significantly by more than 3,000 people. This development was favored by the proximity to major traffic routes such as the A 2 (west-east) and A 7 (north-south) motorways, the B 6 federal highway and Langenhagen Airport. The unemployment rate has more than halved from 15.6% in 2006 to 7.2% in 2015 and is thus roughly the national average.
The Production Technology Center (PZH) of the Leibniz University Hannover is an internationally renowned research institution and fulfills an important function for the interlinking of science and business. The university's underwater technical center has been located at the same location since 1997. Underwater welding processes and water jet techniques are developed and tested here. The Garbsen mechanical engineering campus and the “Dynamics of Energy Conversion” research building are currently being built in the immediate vicinity of these existing facilities. On the Garbsen campus, the entire mechanical engineering faculty of Leibniz University with more than 5,000 students and scientists is to be united in the 2019/20 winter semester. The total investment volume is over 140 million euros.
Garbsen is already characterized by its proximity to the university and the nearby Marienwerder Science Park in Hanover; Garbsen is, for example, home to the internationally active high-tech companies Laseroptik and LPKF.
The economy in Garbsen is predominantly medium-sized. Since 1972, Möbel Hesse, one of the largest furniture stores in northern Germany, has been based here. Apostels Greek specialties GmbH, which produces Mediterranean foods such as tzatziki and aioli and sells them throughout Europe, has its production and administration site in the Berenbostel district. The manufacturer and service provider for drive technologies SEW-Eurodrive is represented in Garbsen with one of four Drive Technology Centers across Germany, in which the company competencies of sales, service, engineering and system integration as well as training are bundled. Garbsen caused a national sensation when Mayor Christian Grahl (CDU) announced at the beginning of 2016 that he would be entering the competition for the planned new administrative center of the Hanover-based Continental AG with his own offer. Although the offer was initially dismissed as a marketing gag by some commentators, the possible location in the still partially undeveloped center of Garbsen made it to the final selection of the Conti board and was only just under the offer of the state capital. Elmar Degenhardt, Chairman of the Executive Board of Continental AG, described both possible locations as almost on a par in terms of criteria such as costs, transport links and administrative support. Amazon operates a sorting center in Garbsen.
