The Protestant St. Petri Church, after which the parish is named, is a partly Romanesque, partly Gothic church, which was probably built around 1200. The St. Petri Congregation is part of the Evangelical Church in Hanover. In addition to the church and the parish hall, this also maintains the rectory and the parish kindergarten in Mitteldorf. In addition, Großburgwedel is the seat of the Burgdorfer Land church district office, which is responsible for the Burgdorf and Burgwedel-Langenhagen church districts.

The Catholic St. Paul parish is part of the Hannover deanery . Your hexagonal church building at Mennegarten was consecrated on February 5, 1966 by Hildesheim Bishop Heinrich Maria Janssen on the patronage of the Apostle Paul .

The New Apostolic Church is located in the immediate vicinity of St. Paulus Church in the Osterwiesen residential area.

Since autumn 2005 there has also been an evangelical free church under the name “Freistil”.

coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms of Großburgwedel comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Gustav Völker , who designed all coats of arms in the Hanover region. The municipality was awarded the coat of arms on June 1, 1955 by the Lower Saxony Minister of the Interior .

Großburgwedel coat of arms
 Blazon : “ Divided by a tin cut , on top in gold with three red hearts , a striding red armored , blue lion . Below are five silver windmills in redin the position (3: 2). "
Justification of the coat of arms: Großburgwedel was an accessory for centuries and at times the center of the Grafschaft Burgwedel, a free county that is to be regarded as the forerunner of the later Burgwedel District Bailiwick and which up until the 19th century held certain special rights for the free farmers of this area. As a sign of the free county, similar to the 14 communities of the "Great Free" in the southern part of the Burgdorf district, a lion is included in the coat of arms. According to old descriptions, Großburgwedel had no fewer than five windmills around 1800.

education

The Großburgwedel grammar school, which emerged from the general high school, has a long history in which it also sometimes changed rooms: After the Second World War, it first moved to the primary school at that time, which is now the Großburgwedel elementary school. Due to a lack of space, the new building was built at the current location, which was opened on May 12, 1965. Soon, due to the growing number of students, the premises of the secondary and secondary schools (see below) had to be used. In the 1970s it was the largest grammar school in Lower Saxony with just under 1900 students.

In the immediate vicinity are also the former secondary and secondary school, which will be converted into a secondary school from the lower grades up to the 2016/17 grades; From this year the secondary school becomes an IGS . In 1972 the premises there were completed, but some of them had to be transferred to the grammar school (see above). After the now abolished orientation level found space in the building, classes from the grammar school are currently being housed in the building again. There is also the Albert Schweitzer School with a focus on learning as a special needs school at the school center.

Großburgwedel is on the Hanover – Hamburg railway line and is served hourly by the Metronom Railway Company's trains. The route from Langenhagen an der Heidebahn to Celle, also known as the "Hasenbahn", which began in 1913 , was only opened on May 15, 1938. Since then, it has been possible to run the trains from Hamburg to southern Germany without going through Lehrte and head-to-head in Hanover. Since November 2, 1964, the line has been open to two tracks. Until 1956, line 17 of the Hanover tram also ran to Großburgwedel.
