Bothfeld

Bothfeld is a differently structured district. The oldest building is the St. Nicolai Church, known since 1288, with its tower built from lawn iron stone in the 14th century . The nave was rebuilt in 1911 according to plans by the architect Eduard Wendebourg . Since 1941, the 100th anniversary of the song of the Germans , there has been an oak next to the church tower in memory of the poet August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben , who founded his family in Bothfeld. His bride Ida vom Berge lived there in the house of her father, who was the pastor of the parish of St. Nicolai. In 2019 the redesign of the peace memorial "Walk-Think-Garden Peace" was inaugurated with the participation of Lower Saxony's Prime Minister Stephan Weil.

The former suburb of Klein-Buchholz , which was dissolved in 1981, was largely added to Bothfeld. The Klein-Buchholz shopping park has existed on Sutelstrasse since 2003. Adjacent is the place of the citizens of Klein-Buchholz. There are regular events such as the weekly market, shooting festival and other festivals.

Today Bothfeld is bordered by Autobahn 2 in the north and by the Mittelland Canal and Podbielskistraße in the south . In the west, General-Wever-Strasse and Langenforther Strasse form the border with the Sahlkamp district, while in the east, Im Heidkampe, Laher Graben and Kirchhorster Strasse form the border with Lahe.

The residential areas consist mainly of single-family and row houses of different construction periods, including free-standing houses, garden courtyard houses and a grass roof settlement. In the south on Podbielskistraße, office and administrative buildings, shopping centers and apartment buildings dominate.

The old Bothfeld cemetery is located near the St. Nicolai Church on Ebelingstrasse . The Bothfeld Jewish Cemetery, opened in 1924, and the Bothfeld district cemetery , where Benno Ohnesorg was buried on June 9, 1967, are located on Burgwedeler Straße . Across from the district cemetery on the other side of Burgwedeler Straße, the grove of the Große Heide forest extends to Isernhagen-Süd.

The windmill that is now in Groß-Buchholz used to stand on Uslarplatz. Today there is a playground and football field at this point.

Tram line 9 runs through Bothfeld, and lines 3 and 7 also run on Podbielskistraße. The former Buchholz tram depot has been abandoned by Üstra . The historic tram hall was converted into a shopping center. A parking facility for light rail vehicles of the type TW 2000 was built on the open-air site.

In the school center at Hintzehof, previously Ada-Lessing secondary school and Lotte-Kestner secondary school, an integrated comprehensive school was set up as an all-day school in August 2013. There is also a Waldorf school and the Free Evangelical School in Hanover in the district .

The Evangelical Lutheran churches of St. Nicolai (also called Bothfeld Church ) and St. Nathanael and the Catholic Church of the Holy Spirit from 1963 are located in Bothfeld . The New Apostolic Church on Prießweg was closed, and in 2005 its congregation was merged with the congregation in List .

The TuS Bothfeld from 1904 e. V. is one of the largest sports clubs in Hanover with over 2200 members, well over half of them children and young people.

The Bothfeld shooting club from 1892 e. V. organizes an annual rifle festival on the fairground and takes part in the Hanover rifle march.
