geography
Geographical location
The municipality of Isenbüttel is located in the city triangle between Wolfsburg (approx. 18 km), Gifhorn (approx. 6 km) and Braunschweig (approx. 20 km) on the plateau of the Papenteich on the Hehlenriede . The municipality is part of the Isenbüttel municipality , which has its administrative seat in Isenbüttel. The station Isenbüttel village is located on the -Wieren Braunschweig railway line .
Community structure
Isenbüttel consists of three districts: the core town, Bornsiek and Tankumsee . However, the districts have no official status, for example with a local council or the like, but arise only from their geographical location. Bornsiek and Tankumsee are settlements away from the core town. Tankumsee was originally intended as a purely local recreation area. Today there are also houses there.
history
The place name is due to the establishment of a settlement by a man named Iso, who first built a house here. Since Isenbüttel is one of many so-called “ Büttel- Villages” in the Papenteich region , the name Isenbüttel was later created. Isenbüttel was first mentioned in 1196/97 and is called Isenbutle in later documents in the 14th century . At that time, the Isenhagen Abbey was granted rights to the settlement by the sovereign. The monastery also received the patronage of the church in Isenbüttel. The settlement had the character of a clustered village early on . As the seat of the parish , it attracted new citizens and established its function as a center for the surrounding communities.
The settlement history of the place has not yet been researched. The oldest evidence is a stone oven from the younger pre-Roman Iron Age (approx. 480-30 BC), which was discovered on the Triftweg north of the Hehlenriede.
In the 20th century, the place owed a population increase to several factors. These were the proximity to Gifhorn , the location near the Berlin – Lehrte railway line and the settlement of employees from the Wolfsburg Volkswagen factory in the 1960s.
In 1996, the 800th anniversary of the town was celebrated from April to October.
religion
The Evangelical Lutheran St. Mary's Church was built from 1872 to 1874 according to plans by the architect Conrad Wilhelm Hase . The previous church, which had become too small, was demolished. The foundation stone was laid on July 7, 1872, and it was consecrated on November 22, 1874 . Weeks earlier, the Otto bell foundry from Hemelingen / Bremen had cast two bronze bells for the new church . These were the first bells that had been cast by the F. Otto foundry, which was founded in 1873/1874. They had the beats f sharp 'and a sharp' and weighed 898 kg and 475 kg, respectively. Both bells no longer exist today, but were melted down for war purposes. The 42.60 m high church tower shows a six-petalled rose in plan. The organ built in 1972 by Rudolf Janke is hidden behind the neo-Gothic organ front from the 19th century . The congregation belongs to Isenbüttel church district Gifhorn in Sprengel Lüneburg the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Hanover . The Catholic residents of Isenbüttel belong to the parish of St. Altfrid in Gifhorn.

Recreation
The Berlin – Lehrte railway line passes north of the village . In Isenbüttel, approx. 2 km northeast of the closed town, there is the 222 hectare recreational area Tankumsee with the 62 hectare Tankumsee . To the east of the lake runs the Elbe Lateral Canal , which connects the Mittelland Canal with the Elbe, and behind it lies the Barnbruch wetland, which is under nature and landscape protection . The Elbe Side Canal is not only used for shipping traffic, but can also be used for bike tours and trips without any contact with car traffic. Lauenburg on the Elbe can be reached via the Uelzen lock and the impressive Scharnebeck ship lift, and from there you can continue to the east or to Hamburg and the North Sea. The village is also on the Weser-Harz-Heide long-distance cycle path . This leads from Hann. Münden (Weser Cycle Path, Werra Cycle Path and Fulda Cycle Path) over the Harz to Lüneburg and thus in turn to the Elbe Cycle Path . In Gifhorn (7 km) from Isenbüttel the Weser-Harz-Heide-Radfernweg crosses the Aller Cycle Route , which connects the Elbe and Weser rivers. With its location on long-distance cycle paths and the Elbe side canal, Isenbüttel is ideal for the emerging gentle tourism.
