Graste is a district of Woltershausen in the municipality of Lamspringe in the Hildesheim district in Lower Saxony ( Germany ).

geography

Graste is located south-southwest of Bad Salzdetfurth, west of the Lamspringe town hall. The village is located east of the Sackwald and northeast of the Ahrensberg (374 m above sea level) in the western catchment area of the Riehe and in the southern of the Innerste .

history

The Lamspringe Monastery acquired some land in the Graste area shortly after it was founded. The oldest documented document dates from 1172. In other documents the noble families "von Wrisberg" (1372), the "von Stöckheim" (1488) and the "von Steinberg" (1589) are named as landlords.

25 years after Martin Luther is said to have hammered his 95 theses on the door of the castle church in Wittenberg , the Reformation was introduced in Graste in 1542 . The Graster Church was built in 1723 and completely redesigned in 1864.

A village school already existed in the 17th century and with the steady increase in population the number of pupils also grew. As a result, a larger school building was built in 1846. Graste soon formed a school association with its neighboring village of Netze . A new, even larger school was built in 1952 and expanded just 6 years later. A sports field and a teacher's house were built on the large school property. The school, which today serves as the village community center, was closed in 1968.

The Graster district is cut by the high-speed line Hannover – Göttingen of the Deutsche Bahn. The accompanying construction work and the land consolidation have changed the Feldmark decisively.

On March 1, 1974, the communities Graste, Netze and Woltershausen-Hornsen were incorporated into the new community Woltershausen.

The municipalities of Woltershausen, Harbarnsen , Lamspringe, Neuhof and Sehlem of the dissolved Lamspringe municipality were merged to form the new municipality of Lamspringe on November 1st, 2016 .

Blazon : "A silver German post mill in blue on a green hill coveredwith a lying silver stag antler pole ."

Justification for the coat of arms: The last post mill in the Alfeld district stands picturesquely on a lonely hill near the village of Graste . This beautiful and unique monument of technology at that time, which dominates the village landscape, was chosen by the Graste community as its coat of arms. A deer antler pole was placed in the base of the shield as a symbol to express the special relationship between the mill represented and the last in the circle.
