geography
The district of Hoheneggelsen is located in the northwest of the municipality of Söhlde on the B 1 .
history
Hoheneggelsen was first mentioned in a document issued by King Heinrich IV on July 20, 1046. The place name at that time Ecgoluesheim possibly refers to the first settler, who was called Eggolf or Ecgolf . In 1178 the place was mentioned as Eggelsheim and in 1225 as Ekkelsen .
In the 15th century there were two settlements here, both of which were called Eggelsen : The larger of the two is today's Hoheneggelsen, first known as Hoheneckelsen in 1235, on the eastern slope of the 111 m high Messeberg , where an upper and a lower village grew together along today's main road the easily recognizable elongated shape of the village resulted. The smaller of the two settlements, mentioned in 1221 as Klein-Eggelsen , later became a desert .
The defense tower of the St. Martinus Church, founded in 1235, towers over the fertile landscape of the Hildesheimer Börde . The first school was built in 1613 at the instigation of Pastor Daniel Fischer. It was rebuilt in 1746 and 1864. A postal connection from Braunschweig via Hoheneggelsen to Hildesheim was established in 1750. Hoheneggelsen received a railway connection in 1888 through a train station on the Hildesheim – Groß Gleidingen line . In 1900 a mill was built on the western edge of the village, and in 1909 Hoheneggelsen received electricity.
In World War II, 136 residents came from Hoheneggelsen killed. Hoheneggelsen was hit at noon on October 22, 1944 by high explosive and incendiary bombs, which fell in the village, on the sports field and in the Feldmark. Five people were killed in this air strike alone.
Because of the dissatisfaction with the naming, especially in the district of Hoheneggelsen, the municipality was renamed Hoheneggelsen with effect from May 1, 1981 by a Lower Saxony law also known as the "Reform Correction Act ". However, by judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court of January 12, 1982, this renaming was declared null and void as an inadmissible encroachment on the municipality's naming rights, and on April 7, 1982 the name was renamed back to Söhlde.
Hazardous waste landfill
The disused Hoheneggelsen hazardous waste dump of the state of Lower Saxony is located near the village , about a kilometer away in a southerly direction. There was originally a brick factory on the site . From 1971 onwards, particularly hazardous waste was deposited there that was generated during production processes, environmental protection measures or the remediation of contaminated sites. The landfill has been in the so-called decommissioning phase since the end of 2005.

For the territorial reform in Lower Saxony , Hoheneggelsen was incorporated into the municipality of Söhlde on March 1, 1974.
