Escherde Monastery

In 1203 Lippold von Escherde donated the church and four farms in Groß Escherde for the foundation of a Benedictine monastery with the confirmation of Hildesheim Bishop Hartbert . In 1236 this monastery was moved to its current location in the Hildesheim Forest, which was then called Bovingehusen . The name change to Escherte is documented in 1264 .

politics

coat of arms

The municipality was awarded the municipal coat of arms on March 31, 1939 by the President of the Province of Hanover . The district administrator from Alfeld presented it on July 6th of the same year.

Blazon : "In the silver shield between two upright red keys with turned away beards a three-leaf green clover leaf protruding halfway over the key."

Foundation of the coat of arms: The monastery founded in 1203 by Lippold von Escherde at his ancestral seat Groß Escherde was relocated to the village of Bovingehusen, today's House of Escherde, in 1236, where it existed until 1810. The coat of arms of its founder attached to the gates of the monastery is the basis for the newly created coat of arms of the Haus-Escherde community. While she sees in the keys the symbol of independence and responsibility for its administration, she recognizes the shamrock as a symbol and pledge of the happiness of her community.
