history
_IMG_3646.jpg)
Gleidingen is the oldest part of Laatzen. In a document from the year 983, "Hrothger de Glethingi" and other personalities testify to the borderline between the dioceses of Hildesheim and Minden and thus the Saxon partial duchies of Engern and Ostfalen .
The family of those von Gleidingen is mentioned again and again in writings of the following centuries and can therefore be assumed as the greatest landlord. Henricus de Gledinge - the spelling of the name had changed in the meantime - is attested as a pastor as early as 1250, so that Gleidingen can be described as one of the earliest parishes in today's greater Hanover area.
In 1389, the Hildesheim Bishop Gerhard awarded the newly founded monastery of the Carthusian Order in Hildesheim a saddle yard with around 270 acres of land. It is very likely that it is today's manor.
During the Hildesheim collegiate feud from 1519 to 1523 there was a battle in Gleidingen. Duke Erich von Calenberg defeated an episcopal Hildesheim troop contingent near Gleidingen , which had previously plundered the village of Langenhagen . 100 dead and 200 prisoners are documented. When peace was concluded after the end of the collegiate feud, the Ruthe office and with it Gleidingen came to the Principality of Calenberg .
In 1643 the Great Hildesheim Monastery came under the sovereignty of the Hildesheim bishops again, and the Guelph dukes brought Gleidingen an eventful past up to our time.
A duel on the Gleidinger Sehlwiese, today a new building area called "Gänsewiese", in which the Danish-Norwegian Vice Admiral Peter Wessel , known as Tordenskiold, was killed, proved to be important .
In the hundred years from 1812 to 1910, the population of Gleidingen rose from around 600 to 1390. As in the other Laatzen villages on the Leine , the change from a pure farming village to a place of residence for industrial workers also took place in Gleidingen.
Gleidingen became part of the city of Laatzen with the Lower Saxony municipal reform on March 1, 1974 .
Gleidingen clay pit
In the 1950s and 1960s, the Olliges family ran a brick factory on Oesselser Straße. Two kilns and a coal-powered steam engine for process heat and power generation formed the centerpiece. Nearby clay pits were evaluated with an electric excavator, and a small diesel train with tipping platforms transported the raw material to the grinding and mixing plant. An extruder plant produced the various brick shapes, and the raw clay bricks were transported to the drying areas (oven or open-air drying) via an overhead conveyor or a track push car. The dried clay bricks were also stacked by hand in the round kilns operated by means of an endless fire. After the fire, they were moved from the ovens to the storage area in piecework. The trucks were loaded by hand (women's work) to transport them away for the customers. After a fire, a drying kiln was modernized, but soon the brickworks was no longer competitive, also because of the lack of clay reserves. Numerous fossils (thunderbolts) were found in the clay pits. A slaughterhouse was subsequently built on the site.

coat of arms
The design of the coat of arms of Gleidingen is of unknown origin. The coat of arms was presented to the Prussian Secret State Archives and was approved in 1930/31.

Blazon : "On silver a soaring red lion with golden armor , to the left of it a five-petalled, gold-covered, red rose with green sepals." |
| Justification of the coat of arms: This powerful coat of arms comes from the knights of Gleidingen. They have been documented since the beginning of the 13th century. It has not been proven that they are related to the "Rothger de Glethingi" mentioned around 990. The last of his tribe died in 1519. They were episcopal ministerials who had to take care of Sarstedt Castle in the 13th century. At the end of the Middle Ages they still owned a noble farm in Gleidingen, the former Günther lease, of which Mrs. Gerda Maria von Stark is the owner. In 1333 and 1343 they used a split shield as a seal with only a rose emblazoned on the front. The fact that they later added a lion, the symbol of freedom, to the simple rose is proven by the grave monument of a buck from Nordholz in the church of Großoldendorf , which dates from around 1600. On it is the pedigree of the deceased and in it u. a. the coat of arms of those of Gleidingen with lion and rose. What could be more natural than to make this beautiful shield your own? |
Poem on the coat of arms
The verses are from Joseph Godehard Machens , Bishop of Hildesheim.
- Gleidinger knights and squires
led the rose in the coat of arms.
Red rose, bud and glow.
You, my little village, grow and bloom.
- Gleidden's knights and squires added
the leu to their coat of arms.
Lion, lift
your paws free, swing your tassel in the proud Juchhei.
- Gleidden's knights and squires
praised freedom in their coat of arms.
That is why the Gleidingen man wants to be
free from servile spell.
