Großenheidorn is a district of Wunstorf in the Hanover region in Lower Saxony , which is directly adjacent to the east of Steinhude . The place has around 3000 inhabitants.
geography
Großenheidorn lies east of Steinhude ; the places merge seamlessly. In addition to the main town, there is also the small district of Großenheidorn Strand directly on the south-east bank of the Steinhuder Meer . To the east of Grossenheidorn, about 1 km away, are the town of Klein Heidorn and the Wunstorf Air Base with the Air Transport Wing 62 , which is based here and equipped with Airbus A400M Atlas transport aircraft.
history
Großenheidorn was probably founded in 1220 and first mentioned in a document in 1247. In it, the Bishop of Minden was granted ownership rights to the two villages of Großenheidorn and Klein Heidorn by Count Ludolf von Roden .
The name probably goes back to the word Heithorn , which at that time referred to a forest with frequent occurrences of hawthorn and blackthorn .
In Grossenheidorn (Wunstorf), a witch hunt was carried out in 1603 : the Geveke got into a witch trial and was probably burned.
The village later became the property of the Count of Holstein-Schaumburg . After the Counts of Holstein-Schaumburg died out in 1640, the Grafschaft Schaumburg was divided . Grossenheidorn was added to the northern part with Steinhude and Hagenburg as the so-called lake province, which from then on was ruled by counts of the von Lippe-Detmold family. The new ruling family was related to the last Count of Schaumburg and, in addition to the name Schaumburg, bore the name Lippe as a sign of their descent. This is how the Grafschaft Schaumburg-Lippe was created in 1647 and became a principality in 1807. At the end of the First World War , the last Prince of Schaumburg-Lippe abdicated. Grossenheidorn remained in the Free State of Schaumburg-Lippe and continued to belong to the Schaumburg-Lippe district as a municipality after the Second World War . It was not until 1974 that, as part of the regional reform in Lower Saxony, together with Steinhude, it was redistributed to the city of Wunstorf in the newly created district of Hanover.
From 1898 to 1970 the village had a railway connection through the Steinhuder Meer Railway , but passenger traffic was stopped in 1964.
Although Großenheidorn has had its own chapel since the 15th century, it was part of Steinhude's church until the 20th century. Grossenheidorn has had an independent Evangelical Lutheran parish since 1933.
On March 1, 1974, Großenheidorn was incorporated into the city of Wunstorf.
In 1997 the 750th anniversary took place. On this occasion, the straw dolls shown in the picture were set up next to the entrance to the village.

coat of arms
The old bond with Schaumburg-Lippe is still openly shown today. The coat of arms created by Helga Bode and Ernst Küker has the colors of the schaumburg-Lippe flag - white, red, blue - and is also presented on this flag on the flagpole.
“The three basic colors white, red and blue are intended to embody the centuries-old loyalty to Schaumburg Lippe. The impact of the waves indicates that Großenheidorn lies on the Steinhuder Meer. The white slash symbolizes an old transport and trade route that crossed the old community from northeast to southwest, the 'Schoben- or Schradeweg'. Grossenheidorn, a clearing in the great Dülwalde in the 13th century by the Wunstorf Counts of Roden , is embodied by the stucco in the lower right third. To the north of the Schradeweg was the old village of Heidorn, called 'on the long Heidoren', which is why the hawthorn or hawthorn blossoms and leaves, which Grossenheidorn probably gave its name, were in the upper left third.

Buildings
The St. Thomas Church is located in Großenheidorn, a small quarry stone building from 1691 with a three-sided choir closure. The building replaced a chapel in the same place, which was rebuilt from 1687 to 1689, but then deemed too small by the church council and removed.
