history

Excavation finds indicate an early settlement of the Hainholz area. The name Heynholtz is interpreted as an indication that in pre-Christian times there was a holy place for the worship of pagan gods. In the course of Christianization , a chapel with a stone image of the Virgin was built at this point , which was first mentioned in a document from Otto II of Braunschweig-Lüneburg in 1394 . While the image of the Virgin was lost, the remains of the church choir from the same time have been preserved. The village of Heynholtz was first mentioned in a document in 1425.

During the time of the Thirty Years' War , David Meyer , at that time pastor at the Marktkirche in Hanover, had a memorial plaque made for 21 citizens who died near Hainholz . The tablet can be found today in the Bödeker Hall of the Marktkirche.
