Holtensen is a district of Barsinghausen in the Hanover region of Lower Saxony .

With around 250 inhabitants, the village is one of the smallest of the 18 districts. Due to the fact that the name is identical with the villages of Holtensen (Wennigsen) and Holtensen (Springe) , which are also close to the Deistern, the name is mostly supplemented by the addition of Barsinghausen.

geography

Holtensen is located in the north-west of the Calenberger Land on state road  392 and directly on exit 39 of the A 2 . In the immediate vicinity lie the towns of Groß Munzel and Ostermunzel , which also belong to Barsinghausen , to the south, Kolenfeld (zu Wunstorf) and Wunstorf to the west and north-west, and the Seelz district of Dedensen to the north-east .

history

Holthusen, today's Holtensen, was first mentioned in 1288 when the Wunstorf Abbey sold the tithe there. Due to the name formation, however, it is assumed that the place is significantly older.

In the late Middle Ages there was a small manor, a so-called saddle farm , as a fief of the diocese of Minden . In the 16th century there were also four Meierhöfe, four Halbmeier and eight Köthner in Holtensen.

There must have been a school as early as 1732, as the death of the schoolmaster is reported. The school building was built in 1778, demolished again in 1871 and replaced by a new building. Up to 1930 three grades were taught in the single classroom (1st – 2nd school year, 3rd – 4th school year and 5th – 8th school year). In 1949 a second teacher was hired. School operations were relocated to a new building between 1954 and 1955 and gradually ceased until 1968.

Incorporations

As part of the regional reform in Lower Saxony , the municipality of Holtensen lost its political independence on March 1, 1974 and became a district of the city of Barsinghausen.

coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms of Holtensen comes from the heraldist and graphic artist Alfred Brecht , who designed all the coats of arms in the Hanover region. The approval of the coat of arms was granted on November 16, 1961 by the district president in Hanover.

Holtensen's coat of arms
 Blazon : " Blue  : silver divided , above in front of a red bar a growing , golden armed and crowned , silver lion , below three red alarm clocks ."
Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms emphasizes the early days of the place and the sovereignty of the Wunstorf counts and honors the memory of the "von Holthusen" family attested here, who had three awakenings ( diamonds ) in the three-pass up their arms . The historical foundations of the village, which was confirmed in the 12th century by the noble family named after the place, that was certainly before Henry the Lion's time, inspired the symbols in the municipal coat of arms.

  • Taking care of the village (planting flowers or cleaning unsightly corners)
  • Process the historical heritage of the village and make it available for posterity using modern means (record and document stories from the past)
