history
The village
The first traces of settlement in the area around Groß Ellershausen go back to the early Neolithic. The large number of sites west of the Leine indicate a settlement in the time of the band ceramics . So they found in the municipal area United Ellershausen 1934 with the construction of the highway , the famous stool grave .
A village named "Aliereshusun" was first mentioned in the Corveyer Traditions in 989. The assignment to Groß Ellershausen, however, is controversial, and some researchers refer to Allersheim near Holzminden. Documentary mentions of "Elricchosen" and "Haldrixhusen" from 1144 and "Alderixhusen" 1152 were already related to Ellershausen, but others referred to Elleringhausen in the district of Brilon or Ober- and Niederhalnte near Grebenstein. The oldest non-controversial written mention can only be found in 1302 in the family tables of the von Bodenhausen family. An indication of the age of the place is given by the place name, regardless of the assignment of the documents, because the villages that end with “hausen” often emerged in our area between the 6th and 10th centuries. The "Hausen-Orte" were mostly laid out by spiritual or secular landlords . Usually these places continued the name of the founder in the place name. From 1302 on, the name “Elderikeshusen” has been handed down for Groß Ellershausen Ort, from which the personal name Aldarik or Alderik can be deduced . Already in 1574 the name "Ellershausen" appears in a document from the rule of the Plesse . The name, which has been valid for several centuries, is Ellershausen and was renamed Groß Ellershausen on October 1, 1932, in order to differentiate it from the place Ellershausen vor dem Walde (municipality of Niemetal ) in the former district of Münden .
The church name St. Martini gives us another clue about the age or the time when the village was founded . It can be assumed that these churches were founded in the Franconian and Post-Franconian times, i.e. around 621 to 740. According to architectural studies, the steeple of the St.Martini Church used to be a residential tower and is considered to be the oldest structure of its kind in the region of southern Lower Saxony. From 1657 Ellershausen was assigned to the parish Settmarshausen . That stayed until 1974. Then the previously independent St. Martini parish was dissolved and incorporated into the Mariengemeinde Hetjershausen.
Margarethe von Elderikeshusen, widow of Dietrich von Elderikeshusen (last mistress of Ellershausen), went to the Lippoldsberg monastery in 1312 . She donated a large part of her lands to this monastery and other lands to the Heiliggeist Hospital and the Marienkirche in Göttingen. In 1582 the Lippoldsberg lands were finally returned to Ellershausen's possession, as the field names still attest to this today.
Groß Ellershausen had many disadvantages due to its high altitude to the city of Göttingen and the proximity of the old Heerstraße, but above all because of its belonging to the city, such as Grone , Holtensen and Rosdorf .
In the Thirty Years' War Tilly had his camp on the "Schanze" in 1623, Wallenstein in 1625 and the Swedes in 1632. This inevitably led to robberies and pillage. In 1758, during the Seven Years' War , the village was the field camp of the Fischer Freikorps , who were considered particularly ruthless. The battle in the armed forces around 1387 on July 22nd between Duke Otto dem Quaden and the citizens of Göttingen should also be mentioned.
The number of agricultural farms has moved around 25 since 1585. In the Thirty Years War the number had dropped to 13. It was not until 1687 that the pre-war figure could be reached again. The number of homesteads remained constant until around 1825. The place experienced a new upswing from 1781 with the construction of a new trade and military road, which was called "the Chaussee" and ran from Göttingen via Dransfeld to Hann. Münden led. With the construction of the street, more and more craftsmen settled on site, so that there was also brisk construction activity in the village itself. The "Zur Linde" jug and pub, 13 new properties and two farms were built.
It was not until the replacement ordinance of 1833 with the city of Göttingen and the associated reorganization of agricultural operations that some farms were dissolved; in 1875 there were only 18 main businesses, but there were also 7 part-time businesses and 5 craftsmen. They kept goats, pigs, chickens and geese. There were also 2 restaurants with agriculture.
With the construction of the Hanover Southern Railway (KBS257) Göttingen - Kassel between 1851 and 1856, many Ellershausers found work. However, the place did not initially have its own stop, the residents had to wait 94 years for this. The reason was the nature of the route, which turned out to be extremely winding and steep and therefore could not be mastered without an additional push locomotive. For this reason, too, the railway was later shut down on May 31, 1980. In addition, the construction of the Hanover - Göttingen - Kassel - Würzburg express line made the old line superfluous.
In 1949 a water association was founded with the municipality of Hetjershausen with the aim of building a water pipe from the Springmühle via Hetjershausen to Groß Ellershausen. In the fall of 1950 this was ready and every house was connected. The sewerage took place in 1955.
The electrification of the community of Groß Ellershausen began in the summer of 1914, but could only be carried out slowly due to the outbreak of the First World War . The local network was not ready until September 1917.
From 1657 there was a village school, which was replaced by a new building in 1783. In 1883 a larger school was built next to it, but after the Second World War it was no longer sufficient. In 1971 it was demolished.
After the establishment of the School Purpose Association in 1966 between the communities of Hetjershausen, Groß Ellershausen and Knutbühren, the new school, Mittelbergschule, in Groß Ellershausen was inaugurated in 1968 for all three communities. It stands on the Mittelberg on Hetjershäuser Weg in Groß Ellershausen, and it includes a sports hall and sports grounds.
On January 1, 1973, Groß Ellershausen was incorporated into the district town of Göttingen.
Coat of arms
A municipal coat of arms was introduced in 1950 : a red deer antler on the golden yellow shield. The sign was freely chosen as a symbol of the hunt.
Expansion and expansion
Groß Ellershausen has experienced a great growth process since 1945, so that one can no longer speak of a pure village in the usual sense. This is also what the population statistics say.
The division is something like this:
- Old village: 25%
- Old settlement: 18% after 1945
- New settlement: 42% after 1966
- Putzberg settlement: 7% after 1995
- Elstal development area: 8% from 2006
politics
Local council
There is a local council together with the towns of Hetjershausen and Knutbühren. This amalgamation is a locality in the legal sense, but Groß Ellershausen is a separate city district. The amalgamation of 3 also historically fundamentally different locations does not always lead to a uniform, constructive representation of interests towards the city of Göttingen. The result of the last local elections in 2016 for the local council was:
- 5 places for the SPD parliamentary group, which the local mayor provides
- 4 places for the CDU parliamentary group
Mayor: Heidrun von der Heide since 2016, previously Walter Rakebrandt (previously Holger Bock).
