history

The foundation will certainly have been well before the first documentary mention as "Holekessen" (?).

In the early days there were only individual farms in Holxen. Only in modern times was Holxen settled as a settlement for people working away from home. Around 1900 almost all of the courtyards and houses that existed at the time fell victim to a fire. The place was then completely rebuilt. Today's older buildings date from this time.

On July 1, 1972, Holxen was incorporated into the Suderburg community.

At the beginning of 2003 there was also a flood in Holxen that filled the cellars of the houses on the Stahlbach.

Catholic Church Maria Rast

religion

The Catholic chapel "Maria Rast" is in Holxen (29556 Suderburg ) and belongs to the Catholic Caritas Association . Since 1958, the “Maria Rast” farm has included the “Maria Rast” chapel, which celebrated its inauguration that same year. Theo Scholten was the builder and founder of the Maria-Rast-Chapel, whereby the actual court "Maria Rast" was mentioned for the first time in 1147.

The Maria Rast farm often changed hands. The first known owners were the Wienecke family in 1606. In 1628 Jürgen Dittmer took over the farm, after which in 1644 the farm returned to the Wienecke family, to Jürgen Wienecke. In 1679 Peter Wienecke took over the farm and bequeathed it to Jürgen Wienecke in 1682. Johannes Jürgen Wiencke in turn took over the farm in 1730. In 1855 Henricke Wienecke was the last of the family to receive it. Henriecke Friederike Besenthal took over the Hof Maria Rast in 1868, then Dorothe Besenthal (née Wienecke), who owned the farm from 1900 to 1917, before she sold it to Bernhard Kalischer. From this point on, the farm went to the AOK , where it was used as a rest home for AOK insured persons. Then the farm went to the German Reich / National Socialist People's Welfare (NSV) and was used again as a welfare home (1941–1950). The tuberculosis home under the British military government (1947) was the next owner of the farm after the NSV; the care was taken over by the St. Viti Hospital. Then in 1950 the farm went back to the AOK. Last but not least, the Catholic parish “Zum Divine Redeemer” acquired the Maria Rast farm. In 1958 the Caritas building application for the construction of the “Maria Rast” chapel was submitted.

The Caritas Association and the parish “Zum Götlichen Erlöser” are both subordinate to the Diocese of Hildesheim, so the Caritas Association was able to submit the building application to the parish, whereupon in 1959 the inauguration and completion of the “Maria Rast” chapel was celebrated. The parish vicarie Holxen, which was founded in 1960, belonged to the parish of Uelzen and was dissolved again on July 1, 1997; The Catholic parish "Zum Götlichen Erlöser" (Alewinstrasse 27, 29525 Uelzen) was the owner of the Maria Rast chapel and then transferred it to the Caritas Association on November 17, 2006 and gave an additional 10,000 euros to maintain the chapel. The chapel has been officially closed for parish services since 2006 and is now used as a seminar and meditation room. Maria Rast is used today for various youth events as well as for the annual farmers bill.

The inside of the chapel is newly furnished. It is kept relatively subtle, whereas the window paintings create a bright, colored contrast to the white walls. The chapel consists of one large room. In addition, there is a small confessional in this room, which has space for two people and the priest. A stone figure, which shows a donkey carrying Mary with the newborn Jesus in her arms, serves as further attention. This stone figure stands to the left of the ambo and the grandstand.
