Hemmendorf is a district of the Salzhemmendorf patch in the Hameln-Pyrmont district , Lower Saxony .

geography

Within the Leinebergland , Hemmendorf is located in the Weserbergland Schaumburg-Hameln Nature Park between the Osterwald in the north and Thüster Berg in the south. It is located on the historic Heerstraße, today's Bundesstraße 1 .

The “Heide” settlement, which also belongs to Hemmendorf, was formed by a glassworks on the edge of the Osterwald.

history

The place was first mentioned in 854 in a deed of donation of land that a Maynward donated to Corvey Abbey. In 997, Hemmendorf was mentioned for the second time in a deed of donation (Emperor Otto III donated land to the Essen monastery). In the year 1000 Hemmendorf had already been a place of justice. In 1166 monks from the Benedictine monastery of Corvey, consecrated to St. Vitus, built the Vitus Chapel under the protection of the Bishop of Hildesheim in the area of ​​the Archdeaconate of Oldendorf. In 1270 a new church was built, the defense tower of which should provide protection in times of need. In 1418 the Gogericht in Hemmendorf was mentioned for the first time "under the Hagedorn at the churchyard". Today the market square is located there. In 1501, Bishop Barthold von Hildesheim gave the village the rights to its own logging in Lindenberg. Just a few years later, in 1508, Hemmendorf was granted the right to run its own sheep farm. The village was granted baking and brewing rights on January 6, 1629, and holding three markets on September 21, 1639. This means that Hemmendorf can call itself "Flecken", it receives a Fleckenrat and a seal with the Homburg lion. In 1542 the chapel was expanded into a church. In 1580 the first executioner settled in Hemmendorf. In 1588 the church tower in the upper third had to be renewed after it had become dilapidated.

On October 13, 1625, Tilly and Wallenstein met here for the first time and held a council of war. In 1637 Swedish soldiers took horses and young people from Hemmendorf with them on their campaigns. A year later a fire broke out in Hemmendorf, and Hemmendorf was almost completely destroyed. All old documents were destroyed by the fire. In 1640 the Saale mill, the mill for the three grindles, is mentioned for the first time. In 1650, the district court for the suburb is held in Hemmendorf . The town hall, the forerunner of today's Ratskeller, is mentioned in the documents for the first time in 1651. In 1705 the spire of the church fell over, so the church had to be renovated. In 1749 the former school house and current Cantor house became a school again. Severe fires raged again in Hemmendorf in 1761. Marauding brothers passing through , who are not supposed to go into the village, set fire to the gatehouses and the sheep farm. There were also fire disasters in 1763, 1801 and 1802. In 1825 the last executioner, Renziehausen, had to resign from his bloody office. In 1849, innkeeper Schütte from Hackenrode bought the Ratskeller and built a bowling alley next to it. In 1875 the first steam train runs on the Hameln – Elze route . Hemmendorf is still a pure farming village with no industrial operations and was initially not connected to the rail network. In 1889 Kaiser Wilhelm II carried out a maneuver with 4,000 soldiers near Hemmendorf. The emperor directed the troops from the Tilly-Linde to great applause from the population.

The Tilly lime tree in Hemmendorf

In 1897 the Tillylinde was on fire. The trunk, which was about 6 m high and had a huge crown, was partially hollow. Children had tried several times to light a fire in the tree, but more and more damage was averted. This time the trunk and crown are so badly damaged that only a stump remains. This stump is filled with clay and iron bands are placed around it. The stump drives new branches and twigs again, so that it has a stately crown again. The cause of the fire was perhaps a lightning strike.

In 1909, the mill owner Louis Tolle built a new turbine in the mill and in the “sawmill” to generate electricity. The pipeline network will be ready in autumn - the first electric lamps light up in Hemmendorf's streets. In 1910, Besenbinderstrasse was given a sewer system, after the Marktplatz and Beekstrasse had had a canal for years. In 1932 the Tolle electricity company was sold to the Wesertal company. Hemmendorf received a better power supply. In 1946 a shoe factory with around 80 employees was established in the old mill. In 1954, Bundesstraße 1 was widened to 8 meters and paved with asphalt. In 1955, during the reconstruction of the church, old tombs were excavated and put back up. In 1961 the Hemmendorf wind choir was founded. In 1978 Hemmendorf was connected to the sewer system. In addition, extensive road construction work took place. In 1981 the Wehrkolk hut was inaugurated on Easter Sunday. In 1997 a three-week 1000-year celebration took place, on the occasion of which the local history was processed and a memorial was erected on the market square.

Culture and sights

A little off the main road near the St. Vitus Church is the historic town center. The former house of the executioner is considered a beautiful half-timbered house in the village.

To the north of the village, in the open landscape on a dirt road, there is the so-called Tillylinde, a court linden whose name goes back to the Latin name for linden ( Tilia ).
