history
Historically, Hankensbüttel belongs to the group of Büttel localities. The first mention comes from a document from Emperor Heinrich III. from the year 1051, in which the place is evidently mentioned as "Honengesbuthele". At that time the Billunger family , followers of the Holy Roman Emperors , ruled the region. Located on important military and trade routes, it quickly developed favorably. Protection was provided by an aristocratic large court, which is believed to have existed as early as the 10th century, while a Conradus Honeskesbutle is documented as lord of the castle for the 13th century. As early as the 11th century, Hankensbüttel was the center of an extensive parish district and the seat of the episcopal sending court of the Diocese of Hildesheim . In the middle of the 12th century there was also a Gohgericht and a Gohgräfenhof. After the Billunger died out in 1106, the region came under the rule of the Guelphs , from 1267 on to the Lüneburg line.
During the Thirty Years' War Hankensbüttel was in the marching area of the fighting troops, at times the church was misused as an army camp and horse stable. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the place experienced the eventful history of the Hanover mansion. During the Seven Years' War (1756–1763), as during the time of the Kingdom of Westphalia (1807–1813 ), Hankensbüttel was under French rule, and from 1866 it belonged to Prussia . As a result of the Prussian district reform in 1885, Hankensbüttel, which at that time had around 1200 inhabitants, was incorporated into the newly created Isenhagen district, which was added to the Gifhorn district in 1933 . In 1904, Hankensbüttels was connected to the Celle – Wittingen railway line . Passenger traffic on this route was discontinued in 1974.
Since 1996 Hankensbüttel has been the administrative center of the municipality of the same name.
Origin of the place name
Old names of the place are 1051 Honengesbvthele, 1221 Honekesbutle, 1364 Honkesbutle and 1567 Hankensbüttel.
Formation from a personal name Honik or Honing, suffused short name. The short name Hon (i) is seen by Kaufmann as an abutment of the personal name stem han, plus asächs., Mnd. "Chicken". Hon in PN has the meaning "singer" according to Kaufmann. The short name is derived either with a strongly inflected k-suffix (see Barsbüttel) or, according to the first evidence, with -ing- (see Allingbüttel). Since -ing- generally also so or eastward. when -igg- appears and -eng- is only used twice, a k-suffix may be assumed. In the second part, Old Saxon (gi) butli "settlement".
Incorporations
On March 1, 1974, the parishes of Alt Isenhagen and Emmen were incorporated.

coat of arms
The design of the coat of arms of Hankensbüttel comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Gustav Völker , who also designed the coat of arms of Großburgwedel , Mellendorf , Wunstorf and many other localities. The approval of the coat of arms was granted on April 3, 1948 by the Lower Saxony Minister of the Interior .
Blazon : "In Green by a silver wave beams diagonally left divided . In the middle of the coat of arms there is an upright golden sword , in the upper right flank a silver abbot's staff and in the lower left flank a silver horseshoe . " | |
Justification of the coat of arms: The wave bar refers to the river Ise , which used to be the borderline between Gauen and later between the dioceses of Hildesheim , Verden and Halberstadt . The sword symbolizes the administrative and court seat of the former Gografschaft , the abbot's staff the place as a church center and the Isenhagen monastery . The horseshoe is reminiscent of a rest and relaxation area that was located on a road leading through the town. This north-south military road stretched from Lübeck to Innsbruck . |

Culture and sights
In Hankensbüttel, the Otter Center has existed since 1988 on a six- hectare outdoor area, which is run by the association “Aktion Fischotterschutz e. V. "is operated. The facility is located directly on Lake Isenhagen.
Lake Isenhagen was artificially created in the 1960s by dredging. For several hundred years there were fish ponds of the nearby Isenhagen Abbey, which became a meadow in the 19th century.
The monastery Isenhagen in today Hankensbütteler district Isenhagen was built between 1345-1350 as a Cistercian monastery and since 1540 a Protestant convent . The monastery brewery with museum and a perennial and herb garden are open to the public.
The legendary preservation of the village during the Thirty Years' War is remembered at the Schweinemarkt . There are bronze sculptures of a small herd of pigs including a swineherdess. According to a local legend, the twelve-year-old swineherd Juliane Amalie Hinrichsen, known as “Püddelchen”, was woken up at night by the restlessness of her herd. As a result, they warned the place in good time of an attack by Wallenstein's (according to other tradition, Swedish) troops.
In the Musental, references to the musical tradition are interpreted spatially and sculpturally by artists. It is used for local recreation and events.
The community center redesigned with the founding of the Hankensbüttel community in 1996, in the typology of a former bourgeois town house, offers the clubs and citizens a conference room and a modern exhibition hall. It serves as a replacement for the former guest house , which became the otter center . The auditorium and cultural center have been missing since then.
St. Pancras Church
An exact date for the construction of the church is not known. However, it is certain that at the time of the first written mention of Hankensbüttel in 1051, the place was already the seat of a parish. Therefore it can be assumed that it was founded in the first millennium. The church is dedicated to a young martyr who was beheaded under the Roman emperor Diocletian (284–305). In accordance with its prominent importance, the structure of the church was very compact. The Romanesque hall building was surrounded by walls up to two meters thick and originally only had small-format windows. The compact tower was probably part of the building from the beginning. Presumably in the 15th century, the Romanesque vault was replaced by a Gothic vault, which, however, subsequently pushed the side walls up to 60 cm apart, so that they had to be supported with buttresses from the outside for stabilization. The ceiling vaults are decorated with paintings from the 15th and 18th centuries. A description can be found in Arno Schmidt's novel KAFF also Mare Crisium from 1960. The oldest inventory item is a triumphal cross carved from a piece of oak, which was probably made around 1230. The ring, which consists of seven bells, is one of the oldest in the region, as one bell was cast as early as 1250.
