history

The first written mention of the place Großenrode is often a mention of "Nywenrode" (Nuwenrode) in the traditions of the Fulda monastery from the year 978. According to the Lower Saxon place-name book, however, this document should refer to Neuerode , the first written mention of Herimannus and Bernhardus de Rothe is set there to the middle of the 12th century. The place name, which initially appeared only as "Rode" or in Latinized form as "Novalis" (Neubruchland), was given the addition of "Großen-" (Latin "maior") from the 13th century to distinguish it from that which was also in the Hardenberg area lying Lütgenrode .

The area has been settled since the Stone Age. During excavations, traces of settlement from different epochs were found:

From the Middle Ages onwards , the von Hardenberg family was the main owner of the place, as evidenced by a large number of title deeds. Originally there was only a Hardenberg noble farm in Großenrode. The first mention of a priest from Großenrode ("plebanus de Maiore Nouali") from 1276 proves that the place was already a parish village at that time and certainly also had its own church . The Hardenbergers living there sold the village to their cousins ​​in 1389, who had their seat at Hardenberg Castle . With the introduction of the Reformation , the Lutheran pastors Gabriel Halbritter in 1592, M. Velius in 1598 and Johann Breithaupt in 1600 found their way to Großenrode. From the beginning of the 19th century, the Hardenberg family was buried in the church in Großenrode. In 1850 cholera raged in the area, from which Nörten-Hardenberg was spared. A Catholic citizen from Großenrode erected a crucifix in linen wood as a souvenir . More recently, other citizens had 15 wayside shrines built on the path that leads to the crucifix , and this place gradually developed into a place of pilgrimage .

On March 1, 1974, Großenrode was incorporated into the town of Moringen.

Grave reconstruction

Reconstruction buildings

Within a partially archaeologically recorded trench fortification of the Rössen culture northeast of the village, a piece of the trench fortification with picket fence was reconstructed. From the fortification, a trench and the footprints of posts were detected in three areas, and two gates were also detectable. Assuming a closed rampart, a slightly oval surrounding area with a diameter of around 190 meters is assumed. Nine houses almost 30 meters long as well as more recent, Iron Age building sites were located within the wall using post locations. Also two common graves from around 4700 BC. BC and a moat that is said to have enclosed a Bronze Age barrow were discovered here. The reconstruction of the barrow with a surrounding ditch and one of the archaeologically recorded communal graves with a perforated stone on one narrow side were erected as demonstration objects in the immediate vicinity of the location of the originals. The excavations took place in 1988–1990 and 2003 and were in connection with construction work on Kreisstraße 425, which cuts through the excavation area.

St. Johannis Church

St. John's Church, north elevation

The Evangelical Lutheran parish church of St. Johannis was built in 1740 on the eastern edge of the village. The brightly plastered quarry stone with corner cubes and window frames made of red sandstone blocks includes the West already in 1730 built family crypt of the Lords of Hardenberg one. The western part of the actual church building is slightly drawn in opposite the main part of the nave, while the church in the east is just closing. On the hipped roof in the west sits a tiled roof turret with an octagonal floor plan. Inside, the hall, divided by slender columns, closes off at the top with a semicircular wooden barrel.

The mention of a "plebanus" (priest) in a document from 1276 shows that Großenrode was already a parish village at that time. The parish of Großenrode has been looked after by the parish in Moringen since 1997, and since the beginning of 2009 it has been part of the new Trinitatis parish of Leine-Weper der Evangelisch together with the churches and chapels in Moringen, Fredelsloh, Espol, Schnedinghausen, Lutterbeck, Oldenrode and Nienhagen Lutheran regional church of Hanover .
