||
Hettensen is a district of the city of Hardegsen in the Northeim district , Lower Saxony .
geography
Hettensen is located on the southeast edge of the Solling, east of the Bramburg an der Schwülme , whose sources are in the forest northwest of Hettensen. The neighboring towns are Asche in the east, Ellierode in the northeast and Lödingsen in the south. The city of Hardegsen is about 4.5 km northeast of Hettensen (as the crow flies).
Surname
The oldest traditional form of the name is Hiddenhusen , other traditional forms are Hatenhusen (as a single exception with an a as the first vowel), Hedenhosen and Heddenhusen . It is therefore one of the frequent "-hausen" places in this area . The first part of the name is - as is usually the case with places with the ending -hausen - a personal name, in this case probably Hiddo . The name was created by assimilation from the short name Hildo with the basic word hild (i) "fight".
history
As with most places, the time when Hettensen was founded is not known; according to the name, it may have been in the 8th or 9th century. The first documentary mention, which certainly refers to Hettensen, is in a deed of foundation of the Petersstiftes in Nörten from the year 1055. A deed of the emperor Otto the great from the year 952 with the mention of a place Hitdeshuson , on which the anniversary celebrations of the place are based called, could refer to a local desertification of Hiddesen just like a document with the mention of a place Hiddeshusi from the year 953 . The town of Hettensen is said to have originally been located a little further east of today's village center below today's sports field in the Schwülmetal, but the current location is less humid and therefore more settlement-friendly. In the area of the sports field, the former Hardegser Heerstraße also ran past the village in a north-south direction. In the middle of the 19th century, the commercial mining of basalt began on the former volcanic cone Bramburg, about 3.5 km from the town . At that time , 419 residents lived in the village's 61 houses, next to the Epelterenkrug tavern and a mill. Since then, many residents of Hettensen have been employed in the basalt quarries, but the village has remained agricultural. Hettensen has been a part of Hardegsen since March 1st, 1974. The primary school was closed after the incorporation.

The local council of Hettensen has seven members, four of which belong to the Free Voting Association Hettensen (FWG), two from the SPD and one from the CDU. Dieter Daemelt (SPD) has been the local mayor since November 2019.
coat of arms
The coat of arms was awarded to the then independent municipality of Hettensen in 1951 and shows two crossed mallets over an ear of wheat on a blue background. It symbolizes the main sources of income of the residents at that time: agriculture and work in the basalt quarries of the Bramburg.

Buildings
church
Hettensen has had its own church building since ancient times, but it was not always in the same place. Today's church is located on a hill west of the village center and was built in 1793 as a half-timbered church, at the same time the cemetery was set up at the western end of the village. Shortly after the Second World War, a sexton's apartment and a community room were added to the west side of the church.
Well
The manor in Hettensen was only built in 1855 north of the Schwülmeübergang and received the status of a manor in 1860 after the manor in Gladebeck was dissolved. The manor house, which has been greatly modified today, was built in 1864. In 1979 the farm buildings were largely destroyed by a major fire and were not rebuilt.
Church ruins and Vredewolt desert
Location: 51 ° 37 ′ 19.8 ″ N , 9 ° 45 ′ 9.1 ″ E
About 2.6 kilometers west-northwest of Hettensen, in the Hardegsen state forest in the Schwülme headwaters , lies the deserted areas of Vredewolt , Freyenwalde , Friedenwald , Freudenwald or Friwohle with the ruins of the former village church. The place was first mentioned as Vredewolt in 1318 , the time of the sinking is not documented. In 1586 the village is described as desolate. From the church, three sides of the church tower are still preserved up to about 12 meters high, as well as the pile of rubble of the nave. The church tower measured about 6 by 6 meters and had a wall thickness of just over a meter at the bottom. The ground floor of the tower has been buried, and above it, the holes and wall shoulders for the former layers of beams reveal four floors and the beginning of a fifth floor, so that a total height of around 18 to 19 m can be assumed. Instead of windows on the west and south sides, the tower has narrow wall slits that emphasize the defensive character of the church. Another indication of a fortified church is the deep moat around the church. The total length of the church was about 17 meters. The nave was the same width as the tower and had a straight east end. The fortified church was additionally fenced with a moat that is still clearly visible today, which was probably reinforced on the inside by palisades or a similar fortification. In addition to the church ruins, there are also a few hills within the trench, where buildings may have stood in the past. The actual village was outside the ditch around the church and is only preserved by a few relics such as B. sunken lanes to detect. When exactly it fell is not known, some information suggests that it was destroyed in the feuds of the Göttingen with the Hardegs (1466 to 1486). The village still existed in 1354, because from that time an intended pledge of the village from the Lords of Rosdorf to those of Adelebsen has been handed down in writing. In 1586, the Hardegsen official register said that the Hettensians paid the meadow rent from the desert village of Freyenwalde . In the church registers of Ellierode in the second half of the 16th century it is also noted that Friwohle no longer existed at that time. The naming of the church Fredewolt from 1519 speaks against the thesis of the abandonment of the place at the time of the city feud of 1466–1486. Assuming the existence of the village at this point in time, it can be assumed that the place was founded by the Brunswick Duke Heinrich the Younger on 3 August 1553 was destroyed. His intention was to invade the Principality of Göttingen and to take the oath of allegiance from the residents. Another way of looking at things is based on a different reason and goes back to the example of the “wrong settlement theory”. After that, the village was abandoned by the residents due to the poor quality of the soil. The soils consist mainly of rock, loam, clay and sand. Agriculture was only possible to a limited extent, the farmers were therefore dependent on cattle breeding, which turned out to be unprofitable for a long time.
