Höckelheim is a district of the city of Northeim in the district of the same name in Lower Saxony . There are 1057 inhabitants in the village.

geography

The place is in the Leinegraben of the Leinebergland , about 2 kilometers west of the Northeimer core city. At a distance of 0.5 km, the Leine flows east past Höckelheim in a northerly direction. The Moore , a tributary of the Leine, flows here. The next big city is Göttingen .

history

Höckelheim was first mentioned in 1016 in a deed of donation from Emperor Heinrich II to the Archdiocese of Paderborn as Hukilhem . The place was probably a domain of the Immedinger at the time , as it is referred to in the document as praedium . Bishop Meinwerk von Paderborn initially left this domain to his mother Adela , but tore it away from her again and handed it over to Emperor Heinrich II, who then bequeathed it to the Paderborn Monastery. At the end of the 11th century, Helmoldus de Huckelem appears for the first time in documents , who owns Allod in Höckelheim. It is assumed that Helmold comes from the Immedinger branch and is to be regarded as the ancestor of the noble lords of Plesse . From 1208 a priest Heinrich is attested in Höckelen , who apparently served the local community as an independent parish with its own church.

In 1247 the Höckelheim monastery was founded in the village . In the first hundred years after its founding, the monastery and town flourished thanks to donations from the monastery donors. It also acquired land and had it cultivated in its own hands, which once belonged to the village, which apparently reduced the size of the Höckelheim field. This ultimately had an impact on the town's population, which gradually decreased. After that, however, the monastery began to gradually deteriorate, which may also have had an impact on the town. In 1534 Dietrich III joined. from the Plesse to the Reformation and took the monastery under its own administration. On October 21, 1545, the battle of the same name between troops of the Schmalkaldic League and imperial troops under the leadership of Hilmar von Münchhausen took place in the area of ​​Höckelheim . In 1571 the village became part of the Landgraviate of Hesse , five years later Superintendent Bartholomaeus Meyer appointed Jacob Eckhardt, the first evangelical preacher in Höckelheim, who subsequently married a previous nun in 1578. In the meantime, Landgrave Wilhelm set up a kind of preacher's widow's fund in Hesse and also included the Höckelheim monastery. In the mid-1580s it was obliged to deliver 140 quarters of grain, 20 quarters of barley and 20 quarters of oats annually to the Höckelheim magistrate Hillebrandt Rhusenn. The monastery intervened and claimed the annual income there, since at that time it had already become an institution for unserved noble ladies and civil servants' widows. The only kind of income was in the benefices who became unmarried after a member of the monastery died. Another problem arose at the end of the 16th century with the Brunswick access to the monastery and the strain on the surrounding Hessian villages. While Erich II the Younger hesitated to take concrete action, his successor, Duke Julius , had his coat of arms posted in the villages of the rule of Plesse in 1584. Due to the refusal, he finally took the monastery with an armed hand. However, several mandates justified the return of the monastery to Hesse in 1587, but not without first having confiscated some goods. Julius prohibited the Plessian villages from delivering any fruit or interest to the monastery. However, the Braunschweiger stuck to their legal claims, only the Göttingen recession of May 2, 1616 and a second one on February 16, 1618 brought calm to the hostile people. However, violent friction flared up again and again during the 17th and 18th centuries.

In 1807 the place was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia and in 1813 it became part of the Kingdom of Hanover . While it was part of Westphalia, Höckelheim was assigned to the canton of Moringen , in the Leinedepartement . At that time, numerous privileges were lost, such as exemption from military service and the waiver of taxes, which increased the financial hardship of the residents. However, the inhabitants suffered greater damage in 1811 from two fires, the first on March 8th and the second on October 18th. The latter fire destroyed the entire village except for seven houses, whereby the church, which served the families as a refuge, was only slightly affected by the flames. The rectory and some monastery buildings were also cremated within the monastery complex. The remaining ground floors were converted into stables and utility buildings. A year later, in 1812, the St. Anne's Chapel was still located in front of the monastery gates on the Annenbüh, but it had also been damaged. A little later it was demolished without removing the associated grave monuments. However, these were sold by the church council in 1833.

On July 1, 1970, the independent community of Höckelheim voluntarily incorporated into the city of Northeim.

On December 3, 1991, the coin find from Northeim-Höckelheim was discovered in Höckelheim during construction work in the street An der Schule . It is considered the most important late medieval coin find in northern Germany.
