location

Hardingsen was about 3 hectares northwest of Wülfingen and south of the Haller in the southeast of the Hoeben parcel , on the western edge of the Rothenbleek parcel and on the northeast edge of the Strengenfeld parcel near the Alte Heerstraße from Hanover to Kassel . The local desert is cut through today by the B3 and the Hardingser Weg field path . The location of the local desert can be limited by the field names Hoeben , In den Höfen , Hardingser Anger and Hardingser Kirchhof . The Hardingser Bruch and Bei der Hardingser Straße districts are south of the Rosenmühle .

Archaeological research

The archaeologist Tobias Gärtner from the Department of Prehistory and Protohistory at the Georg-August University in Göttingen also carried out preliminary archaeological investigations in the northeastern area of ​​the Hardingsen desert in the winter of 2006/2007 as part of investigations into the prehistoric and medieval settlement history of the Calenberger Land and subsequently found 4,840 Fragments of medieval pottery evaluated. As soon as the financing can be secured, an excavation in the area of ​​the Hardingsen desert is planned. According to previous research, Hardingsen was founded in the late 8th century or in the first half of the 9th century. Few prehistoric ceramic finds in the northern edge of the settlement area allow the as yet unsecured assumption that a settlement already existed here in the late Latène period or the Roman imperial period .

history

Finds of medieval ceramics show that Hardingsen was continuously inhabited until the 15th century and was abandoned around the middle of the 15th century at the earliest. According to medieval documents, farms located in Hardingsen were already managed from Wülfingen in 1460. However, since fragments of a special ceramic were found in Hardingsen, which were produced and used between 1450 and 1530/40, farmers in Hardingsen could still have lived on their farms after 1460.

During the period of devastation around 1500, the abandonment of the last farm buildings in Hardingsen led to the downfall of the village. The former residents of Hardingsen settled in Wülfingen and built five Meierhöfe and four Kötnerstellen there. They were Meierhöfe von Oppermann, Mohnke-Severin, Rusche, Warnecke and Kötnerstellen von Weber-Kleine, Oehlerking, Brandes and Blume. The reason was possibly the transfer of the originally free farms in Lehnsland and later in Meierland, which was dependent on the landlord .

To the west of the local devastation, the Heimatbund Wülfingen set up a memorial stone with the inscription Hardingsen 1500 now desolate . A field path that leads there from the B3 is called Hardingser Weg . The original Hardingser Strasse led from Hardingsen past the parcel at Hardingser Strasse to Alte Heerstrasse from Hanover to Kassel .

In memory of the farmers from Hardingsen who left Hardingsen and moved to Wülfingen, the Wülfinger farmers in Wülfingen celebrated the so-called Hardings Festival , which was celebrated annually during the carnival period until 1846. It was celebrated again for the first time on February 12, 1941. The farmer Alfred Warnecke spoke about the meaning of the festival and the history of Hardingsen and the farms of the former Hardingser in Wülfingen. In the last quarter of the 20th century, the farmers in Wülfingen again celebrated the Hardings Festival as a social event .
