geology

View from the west of a sugar beet field and the Limberg axis behind it

In the south and west of Gestorf, the solid rock of the Jura was cut through by the Limberg thrust (also known as the Limberg axis ), in which layers of the Triassic , which are rooted on layers of the Upper Buntsandstein , were pushed onto the layers of the Jura. The towering layers of Lower Muschelkalk , Middle Muschelkalk , Upper Muschelkalk , Middle Keuper , Upper Keuper and Upper Buntsandstein form the Limberg , Abraham , Haarberg and Hallerburger Holz mountain ranges between Bennigsen and Hallerburg . These are located in the landscape protection area LSG-H 34: Limberg, Hallerburger Holz and Jeinser Holz (1315 ha). The Hallerburger Holz forest area is one of the FFH areas in Lower Saxony in the European Natura 2000 protected area system .

history

The real age cannot be determined due to the lack of written messages. Before and after the era, first hunters, then farmers, settled down. Many settlements were founded and then abandoned. But some developed into villages.

Gestorf was first mentioned by name in 873 AD. A Count Riddag transferred 3 Hufen land near “Gestorpe” to Lamspringe Monastery. Gestorf was in the Saxon Marstemgau and belonged to the Saxon sub-tribe of the Engern. Gestorf was the headquarters of the Go's "Up der Horst", which was later called "Go Gestorf". This southernmost Go of the Marstemgau had until 13/14. Century its greatest extent. Located north of the Haller, it reached from Jump to Leine. Go Gestorf, which had shrunk to five villages, was not dissolved until 1854 through a judicial reform. Until then, Gestorf had always been the count's residence.

Incorporations

On March 1, 1974 Gestorf was incorporated into the town of Springe in what is now the Hanover region.

coat of arms

The design of the Gestorf coat of arms comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Gustav Völker , who also designed the coat of arms of Großburgwedel , Mellendorf , Wunstorf and many other localities in the Hanover region. The approval of the coat of arms was given by the district president in Hanover on November 16, 1961.

Gestorf coat of arms
 Blazon : "In green , a silver Mitten occupied floor a green Lindbaum , topped with a fallen sword and accompanied by two red roses ."
Justification of the coat of arms: The linden tree and the sword point to the old court building on the Horst and the centuries-old Gografschaft Gestorf. The Hallermund roses are a reminder of belonging to the County of Hallermund . The mitt symbolizes the predominantly rural and handicraft element of the village, which has distinguished itself over the past two hundred years through a tailoring trade that produces mittens.

It protects a section of the Haller valley , a tributary of the Leine . The mostly near-natural forest remnants are unused today, but still influenced by earlier use. Willows and a high proportion of tree fungi characterize the forest, in which there is a lot of lying and standing dead wood . On swampy clearings extensive grow reeds stocks and tall sedge . In the west and south, grassland areas are included in the nature reserve. The nature reserve largely borders on arable land.
