history

In 1145 Pope Lucius II confirmed his possessions to Berge monastery near Magdeburg . Tiulpstidi is mentioned in the document . 1201 was the first documentary mention of Groß and Klein Twülpstedt. The document of February 22, 1201 deals with which natural produce the kerkenhere, i.e. the pastor, is entitled to from the individual courts. The number of farms per village is listed in the certificate.

"Dartho hefft de kerkenhere up tho nemen von juwelken burhofe edder höffner a rye rye, as tho groten Twulpstidde sin ses Höfe, to lutken Twülpstidde eighth un twe köther, de ok a jewelers geven a rye rye, as dat him sy darnt geven t ... Düt is screened from her Hinreken kerkenheren to groten Twülpstede, anno Domini MCCI, Cathedra Petri. "

- Copy of the document dated February 22, 1201 of the former Missal book of the St. Cyriakus Church

The former manor was owned by the von Bartensleben family until 1655 . It was acquired in 1665 by the polymath, physician and legal scholar Hermann Conring and passed to the Freiherr von Strombeck family in 1799 , and then through inheritance and marriage (Sara von Strombeck) to the von Sydow family ( cf.Zirkwitz ; who followed it up to the time the 2nd World War, with interim leases, were owners). The manor house was built in 1832 on the walls of a previous building.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1972, the communities Groß Sisbeck, Klein Sisbeck, Klein Twülpstedt, Papenrode, Rümmer and Volkmarsdorf were incorporated.

Explanation of the place name

Old names of the place are 1145 Tiulpstidi, 1209 (A. 17th century) villam totam Wilpstede, 1311 Twilpstede Maiori, 1342 to Twlpstidde, 1346 (A. 14th century) to Groten Twelpstide, 1354 Twulpstede, 1367 dorpe to Twelpstede and first quarter 15th century Twlpstede. The place name was formed with the basic word "-sted-". The reproduction of some sounds in the determiner obviously caused problems, T-, Tw-, W- and -iu-, -i-, -e-, -ü-, sometimes no vowel appears at all or it is with the semi-vowel -w - merged. One can start from Tw- and -i- / -ü-. Originally -i-, which was rounded after -w- and before -l- to -ü-. It is "Twilp-" have most likely broken down into two parts: "Twil- apa ". "-Apa" is a Germanic word for "water, river". The BW Twil- can with Old Saxon twili “two-wire”, Middle Low German twele “forked, forked, forked stick”, twil “forked branch or trunk”, twillen “fork-shaped split”, Low German Twe (e) l (e) “fork of one Branch, fork-shaped part of land ”are connected; compare High German Zwille. The motif of the water's name is therefore a bifurcating brook. So we have a Twil-apa-sted-formation before us.

coat of arms

Blazon : "The coat of arms of the community is the gold ring on a green background."

Reasons for the coat of arms: The coat of arms keeps alive the memory of a famous citizen. The Helmstedt professor and polymath Hermann Conring acquired the local property in 1652. His grave monument was erected in the church. As an eloquent allusion to his name, he had a ring in his coat of arms: gold on a green background, i.e. in the colors of the ripe grain and the lush willows.

The coat of arms was adopted by the municipal council on October 3, 1959 and approved by the Braunschweig administrative president on October 10, 1960.

The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Wilhelm Krieg.

District coat of arms Groß Sisbeck

Blazon : "In the blue and gold diagonally divided shield of Groß Sisbeck, a district of Groß Twülpstedt since July 1, 1972, there is a wolf tang , which is designed as a beard , in mixed up colors ."

Reasons for the coat of arms: The Wolfsangel was chosen because of its similarity to the initial letter "S" for Sisbeck. The beard alludes to the name of the von Bartensleben family on Wolfsburg, to whose rule the village had belonged since 1475. The blue and yellow Braunschweig national colors document the dependence on the state of Braunschweig.

The coat of arms was approved by the municipal council on February 21, 1961 and approved by the Braunschweig administration president on April 25, 1961.

The coat of arms was designed by the heraldist Philipp Schmidt.

Culture and sights

Churches

St. Maria St. Cyriakus Church

The Groß Twülpstedter St. Maria St. Cyriakus Church was first mentioned in the 12th century. It has a Romanesque apse . The choir and nave are from the Gothic period .

In excavation work in 1912 was found in 1 to 1½ m depth concealed next to the wall and Kirch of construction, a stone slab with a disc cross motif . The plate consists of a quartzitic sandstone , as it was quarried as Velpker sandstone in the quarries located 4 km away between Velpke and Danndorf . The stone slab has a length of 2.09 m, a width of 88 cm or, depending on the end viewed, 81 cm. In the middle it is 92 cm wide and 33 cm thick due to the slightly bulged long sides. The image side is smooth as originally lying layer surface, but the surface is oxidized reddish due to the storage at the layer joint . The original color of the sandstone was a gray-white color, which is particularly evident through the depressions in the ornament. The ornament is a geometric line pattern with two concentric circles within a rectangular frame. The frame also encloses a cross symbol emerging from the center of the ornament. The disc cross plate originally formed a grave plate, even if it was in the meantime regarded as a stele of a thing place . The cultural-historical significance is still uncertain, however, a careful classification dates the grave slab between the 7th and 11th centuries. The axis symmetries let the plate fall between the early medieval Carolingian and the high to late medieval period. Since grave slabs of this size can only be found in connection with a church center, it is assumed that the one found in Groß Twülpstedt could originally come from St. Ludgeri in Helmstedt.

The St. Servatius Church is located in the Volkmarsdorf district : the first church in Volkmarsdorf was built around nine centuries ago at the instigation of Emperor Lothar von Supplinburg , the founder of the Imperial Cathedral of Königslutter . The current building dates from 1896 and has two towers. This is said to have been done in memory of Emperor Lothar and the two-towered church in Königslutter.
