coat of arms

The Immensen municipal coat of arms was designed by 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 22, 1955 by the Lower Saxony Minister of the Interior .

Blazon : "The coat of arms shows a black pole in the golden field , which is covered with a rising, silver bee (Imme)."

Foundation of the coat of arms: In agreement with the family "von Gadenstedt zu Gadenstedt and Volkersheim", the coat of arms of this family, which according to documents was the owner of the Immensen Patrimonial Court from 1339 and 1341 to 1849, was chosen as the basis of the community's coat of arms. The flying, Silver Imme should again point to the popular interpretation of the name, but also apply in the deeper sense as a symbol of a biologically ordered community (compare the significance of the queen bee in the state). The Gothic form of the coat of arms was chosen to herald the old age of the basics of the coat of arms.

Culture and sights

St. Anthony Church in Immensen

Buildings

The St. Antonius Church in the middle of Immensen was built in the years 1877–1878 as a neo-Romanesque brick building by Conrad Wilhelm Hase . In 1899 the building was plastered.
There are two memorials in the Bauernstrasse that commemorate the war dead. One from 1872 commemorates the dead in the First German-Danish War in 1848/51, the Prussian-Hanoverian War in 1866 and the German-French War of 1870/71. The second memorial from 1922 was erected in memory of those who fell in World War I and was expanded in 1958 to include more names of those killed in World War II .

sport and freetime

Sport mainly takes place in MTV Immensen. In addition to football, tennis, handball and running, it also offers a wide range of activities from children's gymnastics to gymnastics courses. The club life is very pronounced in immense numbers. There is an active rural youth group with a tradition going back more than 60 years, the Friends of Historic Vehicles and many other organizations.

There is also the Immensen e. V., in which small-bore rifles and air rifles are used. The practice of shooting sports can be documented in immense numbers up to the first half of the 18th century. For example, target shooting took place in 1732 , and a shooting festival is documented for 1829 . On this occasion, the court keeper von Gadenstedt donated the first flag for the Immenser Schützengesellschaft. From this company the Immensen rifle club was founded in 1931, which was dissolved by the military government in 1945 and re-established in 1949. After September 1949, the first shooting match after the Second World War had taken place, the club was new to the on 24 January 1950 Register of Burgdorf entered. The most successful club member so far in 2005 was the young Anna Riechelmann, who became national champion in small-bore shooting at a distance of 100 m and qualified for the 2006 German championship.

There is also the scout tribe "The Free Before the North Forest" of the Christian Scouting Association of Germany (1976) . Its work consists of conveying Christian values, contents of the scout work and elements of the German youth movement.

Regular events

Since 1987 the two-day open air music festival Zytanien has been taking place every year in August on the site of the former brickworks south of the village , on which three stages are now played.

Economy and Infrastructure

Companies

Immensen is characterized by agriculture. However, the majority of the agricultural businesses Immensens have fallen victim to the structural change in German agriculture over the past 25 years. From the former 52 farms, only a few sustainable businesses are left today. These have specialized in accordance with the requirements of the market and are managed from an entrepreneurial perspective. "Peasant agriculture" has almost completely died out here, as in many other places.

There are also some smaller commercial enterprises. The majority of the population works outside of the town.

traffic

Immensen is located on today's state road 412 between Arpke and Burgdorf and is connected to Lehrte via county road 134. The motorway junctions of the federal motorway 2 Lehrte-Ost and Hämelerwald are nearby.

Regular buses run to Lehrte and Burgdorf , Hämelerwald and Dollbergen .

The station Immensen-Arpke is located on the railway line Berlin-Lehrte in the northern part of Arpke at the former through road to Immensen. At the instigation of the two villages, it was initially built as a freight station for agricultural products and inaugurated on August 15, 1893; a passenger station was added later. The high-speed line Hanover – Berlin now runs through the station. The station is connected to Hanover and Wolfsburg by regional trains every hour . The station is in the tariff area of the Greater Hanover Transport (GVH). The old station building is now a private residence; ticket sales are guaranteed by machines.
