Surname
The village of Hachum was first mentioned in 1013 as Achem , in 1170 as Haghem , 1195 as Hachem and since 1315 the place has been written down as Hachum .
history
Hachum, so it is assumed, is older than recorded in written sources, because a large grave with bronze knives, tweezers and a bracelet was found in the south of the place , which is in the prehistoric department of the Braunschweig Municipal Museum . The place should go back to the Germanic Young Bronze Age. This thesis was further corroborated by the discovery of a stone ax , which is now symbolized by the town's coat of arms.
It is believed that the local population was formerly Saxon and was displaced by the Franks . The yield of the soil increased through the work of the Franks, because they cleared large areas of land and introduced the three-field economy .
In 1333 the village church was built, which was built from Elm limestone and Erker or Trochitenkalk . The builder was Burchard von Asseburg . The church has a Romanesque square tower and a church building with neo-Romanesque windows made of Elm limestone from the nearby Elm . In the course of history, monasteries , monasteries and nobles owned fields around Hachum. These were the von Veltheim family, the von Löneysen family, the coming of the Teutonic Order from Lucklum , the Blasiusstift and the Aegidienkloster from Braunschweig . In the Middle Ages, several devastations developed in the area around Hachum . The rural population was burdened by numerous taxes and interest payments, and in some cases the field sizes were insufficient to feed the people. Only after the transfer ordinance of December 20, 1834 was there a certain relief for the farmers because small and fragmented fields were merged and the tax burden was eliminated. After the merger in 1834, there was a farm in Hachum, a so-called Vollspannerhof (with 80 or more hectares of arable land), there were also seven so-called Halbspannerhöfe (with 20 to less than 80 hectares of arable land) and eight Kotsassenhöfe (with less than 20 hectares of arable land). The size of the farms ultimately does not say anything about the profitability, but the kotsassen were usually not able to provide for the family maintenance.
The place had a grocery store, restaurant, and post office in the 20th century that were abandoned in the 1950s and 1960s. Hachum has a recognizable rural structure in 2009 and is located on a foothill of the Elm on heavy soil. With the decline in the importance of agriculture, there are now (2008) only two farms in the village that still practice agriculture. To the west of the site was a wind power plant that generated electricity and a photovoltaic system on a barn roof with an area of 550 square meters and an output of 55 kilowatts. A carpentry , horticulture and heating construction company are located in Hachum, the vast majority of the village population work outside the village.
On March 1, 1974, Hachum was incorporated into the community of Evessen.
Place and location
The village of Hachum is one of the few remaining ring villages in rural Lower Saxony. The Ringstrasse in Hachum still surrounds the former town center, which is partly built on with historic half-timbered houses. The houses built within the ring are mostly built lengthways in the solar direction. As in many villages in Lower Saxony, there was a windmill in Hachum at the beginning of the 17th century . From 1950 to 1971 the village school was housed in today's village community center.
In 1993, in the west of the village, the first wind power plant in the Wolfenbüttel district was put into operation, which has since been dismantled at the end of its useful life.
In the region, Hachum is one of the three "mountain towns" with Gilzum and Evessen. The place has charming peripheral locations that allow a wide view of the Asse , the Elm with its beech forest, the Harz with the towering Brocken , the Salzgitter Mountains and the cities of Wolfenbüttel and Braunschweig. The village church and an adjacent building in the southwest of the church are under monument protection.
Municipal institutions
Hachum has a village community center and a fire station.
