history

In 1129 the place Hahndorf was first mentioned as hanenthorp . The first church was consecrated on November 5, 1133 by Bishop Bernhard I of Hildesheim .

In 1523 Hahndorf became Brunswick . The Reformation was introduced in 1570 . At the end of 1625, the troops of Wallenstein invaded the northern Harz foreland, causing the church to break in Hahndorf. In 1643 Hahndorf was back in Hildesheim . In 1664, Hahndorf counted 81 inhabitants in the head tax description of the Hildesheim monastery. After Hahndorf's affiliation to the Hildesheim monastery ended in 1802, the relationship between the Hahndorfer Höfe and the Riechenberg monastery was dissolved a year later . Hahndorf belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia from 1807 until French rule ended in 1813 after the Battle of Leipzig . In 1815 the former duchy of Hildesheim became part of the Kingdom of Hanover . From 1866 Hahndorf belonged to Prussia like the entire Kingdom of Hanover .

Grauhof, about 1 km south of the village, received a rail connection from 1875. Later the Vienenburg – Langelsheim and Hildesheim – Goslar lines crossed here ; a larger marshalling yard was created. With the division of Germany , however, the Vienenburg – Langelsheim line lost its importance. This line was dismantled in the 1950s and the Grauhof marshalling yard closed. Until the 1990s, a siding remained for the local businesses.

Between 1939 and 1945, the Hahndorf SS barracks camp belonged to the southern municipality of Hahndorf, and shortly before the end of the war there was also a satellite camp of the Neuengamme concentration camp .

On the road to Immenrode , the Kleinsthofsiedlung was built in 1953/1954 in the Ebelingerode desert area, which was intended to help alleviate the tense supply situation in the post-war years with secondary farm jobs.

Between 1958 and 1960, oil and natural gas were drilled in the Feldmark "In den Schlagackern" . At the end of 1960 a depth of 2,450 meters was reached, but without finding the suspected oil.

In the 1970s, the multi-purpose hall in Hahndorf (1970), the sports field (1975) and the tennis courts on Försterberg (1978) were built.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1972, Hahndorf was incorporated into the district town of Goslar.

coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms of Hahndorf comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Gustav Völker , who designed all coats of arms in the Hanover region . The council of the then municipality of Hahndorf decided on April 20, 1948 to introduce a seal imprint of the Försterberg beech for its coat of arms. This decision was overlaid in June of the same year by the final Hahn draft. The approval of the coat of arms was granted on May 31, 1949 by the Lower Saxony Minister of the Interior .

	Blazon : "In blue a golden stand with a three-leaf tip (tree of life) , topped with a golden right- facing wind vane in the form of a rooster ."
	Justification of the coat of arms: The talking coat of arms refers to the Goslar district of Hahndorf, which was incorporated on July 1, 1972. The three-leaf tip shown is also an ancient motif of folk art and represents a tree of life.
