The districts of Göttingen

Grone is a district of the university town of Göttingen , which lies in the west of Göttingen in the plain of the Leinetal, from which the flat Egelsberg rises towards the city between Grone and the Leine . The Grone river of the same name flows through the village , into which the Rehbach flows in the center of the village. To the west of the populated area, Autobahn 7, running in north-south direction, cuts through the local area before the terrain rises west of the village to the Dransfeld plateau.

history

The area of ​​today's Grone has been settled since the early Neolithic , as numerous sites of the band ceramic culture show. One of these sites is the Bandkeramische Siedlung Göttingen-Grone , which was extensively excavated by the Göttingen City Archeology department during the construction of a shopping center in the 1990s . There are also isolated traces of settlement in the Iron Age . During the Second World War , bombs fell on Grone during an air raid on January 1, 1945. A house in Lütjen Steinsweg was destroyed and five people were killed. The imperial palace of Grona was located northeast of Grone .

Until the incorporation , which came into force on July 4, 1964, Grone was an independent village. As the city grew, the two places merged; in addition to the old town center, there are now the areas Grone-Nord and Grone-Süd. The Kasseler Landstrasse, which connects the A 7 with the downtown area of ​​Göttingen, separates Grone-Süd from the other parts.

In the north or north of Grone, on the site of the former military airfield, there is a large industrial area that is growing steadily due to the influx of industrial companies ( e.g. Lambda Physik , Sartorius AG , Nanofilm Technologie GmbH , Trinos ). Several shopping centers attract visitors from the city and district. Historic companies such as Saline Luisenhall , the last European pan boiler, are based in Grone.

The residential area in Grone-Süd had developed into a social hotspot since it was built and thus got a bad reputation among the population. For some years now, this social hot spot has been alleviated through integration projects. Gradually, attempts are being made to improve the situation through projects by the EU , the federal government , the state of Lower Saxony , the city of Göttingen and the local council of Grone.

A double murder of two women on the “Zollstock” street made headlines across the country in September 2019.

Place name

In the old form the name Grone is called "Gronaha" (Grone = green, aha = ache = water). It is a transfer to the place and has its origin in the green vegetation of the stream. In Low German, the people of Gron were also called the "Chreunschen", meaning the Greens. The soccer teams of FC Grone still wear green and white clothing today.
