Hohenbostel ( Low German Hammbossel ) is a district of the city of Barsinghausen on the edge of the Hanover region in Lower Saxony and is located directly on the Deister .

history

Hohenbostel was first mentioned in a document as "Hoenburstel" in a register of the Corvey monastery that was set up between 1106 and 1128. From 1841 to 1896 Deisterkohle was mined above Hohenbostel. Under the influence of these economic activities, the place changed significantly. As a result, the population rose from 229 in 1821 to 924 in 1905.

On March 1, 1974, the community of Hohenbostel am Deister was incorporated into the town of Barsinghausen.

coat of arms

The design of the Hohenbostel coat of arms comes from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Gustav Völker , who was born in Isernhagen and later lives in Hanover , and who has already designed the coats of arms of Großburgwedel , Mellendorf , Wunstorf and many other localities. The approval of the coat of arms was granted on April 21, 1958 by the Lower Saxony Minister of the Interior .

Blazon : "In silver an inserted, green tip , covered with a two-tower, silver church , equipped with a golden clock tower and two golden weather vanes, accompanied ( heraldically ) on the right by a black boiler hook , on the left by a black, red- burning safety pit lamp ."

Foundation of the coat of arms: The largest area of the community is the Hohenbostel fort protection district with approx. 420 hectares of forest in the Deister. This is expressed in the coat of arms by the green color of the tip. The kettle hook as the symbol of long-established Low German peasantry testifies to the centuries-old farms. Coal mining has had a tremendous impact on the population and development of Hohenbostel since 1831. The place has become predominantly miners' community, which is expressed by the inclusion of the miner's lamp in the coat of arms. The church, which is already more than 800 years old, received the now existing double church tower through a generous renovation in 1928, which has since dominated the landscape and has been included in the coat of arms as a landmark of the place.

Culture and sights

There is a primary school in Hohenbostel. The landmark of the place is the Protestant St. Thomas Church in the center of the village. During the renovation of the church roof, due in 1928, the then pastor Möller collected so many donations that it was possible to rebuild it with two steeples.

There are also a number of restored farmhouses in this historical setting.
