Isernhagen is an independent municipality in the Hanover ( Lower Saxony ) region, which is made up of seven districts, including four traditional farmers . The municipality borders the city of Hanover to the northeast in the direction of the cities of Celle and Burgdorf . Isernhagen is the wealthiest municipality in Lower Saxony according to the average income of its citizens.

geography

Isernhagen borders on Burgwedel , Burgdorf , Lehrte , Hanover , Langenhagen and Wedemark (clockwise, starting in the north). Isernhagen is located on the southern edge of the Lüneburg Heath . Four districts known as farmers' communities are considered to be the elegant suburbs of Hanover. There are many well-preserved half-timbered houses , including the type of frequent here Fachhallenhaus house .

Community structure

Isernhagen consists of the localities :

natural reserve

Isernhagen borders with the districts Altwarmbüchen and Kirchhorst on the approximately 15 km² Altwarmbüchener Moor . Its peat layers , up to two meters thick , were cut by farmers in the neighboring villages. The peat was used as heating material or sold in markets in Hanover. According to a document from 1797, Isernhagen and its current districts also had rights to peat extraction in the moor. For this, the moor was heavily drained, which damaged the moor vegetation. Part of the area is now under nature protection, while the greater part is a landscape protection area.

history

Surname

The first part of the name Isernhagen is derived from Yser or Yserne , which stands for " iron ". In the Wietze lowlands running here, lawn iron stone was found, which was smelted on site in the Middle Ages and later also used as a building material. The ending Hagene or Hagen describes a wooded area or an enclosure of fields, as was customary to keep animals away from the arable land.

The name or the suffix Hagen is often found in Lower Saxony , Westphalia and the Mecklenburg areas populated by them . Hag is derived from the Germanic haga or hagaz and means fencing or enclosure . It also means protection as in being cared for and comfortable . A hag was a piece of land enclosed by hedges. The Middle Low German word component -ha (a) g (en) in field or place names indicates such a type of settlement.

middle Ages

The Isernhagen settlement was laid out in the final phase of the medieval inland colonization in the 13th century on the initiative of the Guelphs or their vassals, the counts of the county over the moors, in the form of a classic elongated Hagenhufendorf village. In the course of a large clearing company, which probably stretched over the entire 13th century, one Hagenhuf parcel was laid next to the other until individual farm groups emerged. These farm groups grew together in the course of the later centuries through resettlement to form a closed and unique horseshoe-shaped settlement in Lower Saxony .

Isernhagen is first mentioned in a document in 1322 as "Yserenhaghe" in the city register of the city of Hanover through the first entry of an Isernhagen citizen named Bernardus de Yserenhaghe . In the 14th century, Isernhagen was part of the county over the Moore, which had its administrative center in the Großburgwedeler Castle. Later it belonged to the Burgwedel District Bailiwick, which emerged from the county.

With the expansion of the settlement and the growing together of the farm groups, the elongated Hagenhufdorf Isernhagen was divided into four farmers for the sake of better organization, namely:

  • Niedernhägen farmers (NB)
  • Kircher farmers (KB)
  • Farster Farmers (FB)
  • Hohenhorster peasantry (HB)

These farmers form the four old villages that make up today's municipality of Isernhagen. At what exact point in time the Isernhagen settlement was subdivided in this way cannot be clarified today. In any case, the farmers are mentioned for the first time in the 15th century in the registers of the Burgvogtei Celle .

The other districts of Isernhagen are partly of even older origin than the four old villages:

The Altwarmbüchen, which belongs to the municipality today, goes back to a "Werenboke" (Warmbüchen) mentioned in a document as early as the 12th century. It is a medieval clearing village "of wild roots" that was created on the initiative of a nobleman.

Neuwarmbüchen has its origins in a single farm near the route of the old Hanover-Celle postal route and its settlement by inland colonists in the High Middle Ages. It was first mentioned in a document in 1437.

The part of the municipality of Isernhagen, which is now called Kirchhorst, was only formed in 1929 through the merger of the three villages of Kirchhorst, Großhorst and Stelle (first mentioned in 1329).

Traces of peat extraction in the Altwarmbüchener Moor

These villages, which were very small until the 19th century, used to be surrounded by moors. In addition to farming as a sideline, its residents were busy cutting peat and selling it as fuel at markets in nearby Hanover.

Reformation and modern times

The Hagenhufdorf Isernhagen belonged to the Diocese of Hildesheim, which was founded in 815 by Ludwig the Pious, until the Reformation. In addition, the village was under the Archdeaconate Sievershausen. The St. Marien Church in Isernhagen was built around 1450 in the Kircher peasantry; the exact date of the consecration of the church is not known. The historically valuable building with its tower, which can be recognized from afar, gives the area its unmistakable character.

Duke Ernst the Confessor introduced the Reformation in the Principality of Lüneburg, to which Isernhagen also belonged, in 1527. In 1534 the first Lutheran pastor appeared in the Isernhagen parish.

The farmers of the four Isernhagen-Altdörfer had many sideline jobs and achieved greater prosperity through the hop and horse trade, especially in the 16th and 17th centuries. The half-timbered houses so characteristic of Isernhagen with the richly decorated, multi-projecting commercial gables also date from this time.

While the population in Germany increased sharply in the 19th century, it remained largely constant in the villages of today's Isernhagen during this period. Around 1821 there were 2278 inhabitants, only 173 more than 1786. Until 1871 there was only a slight increase and then even a decrease, until the curve pointed steeply upwards after the turn of the 20th century. In 1925 there were 3,097 inhabitants. After the end of the Second World War, numerous expellees and refugees came to Isernhagen and found accommodation on the farms. The population rose to 7155 people by 1955, which was an increase of 131% over 1925. In the following decades the population in Isernhagen continued to grow due to immigration. In 1992 the number of inhabitants had increased tenfold compared to 1821.

The population development was favored by a significant improvement in the transport infrastructure in the 1930s. In 1938 the construction of the railway connection between Hanover and Celle was completed. In Isernhagen, the Hohenhorst peasantry was connected to the rail network with a train station outside the town. With the construction of the motorway connection Cologne-Hanover-Berlin, the nearby Altwarmbüchen received a direct traffic connection to the economically important east-west connection in 1937–1938.

In the course of the administrative and territorial reform in Lower Saxony, the new community Warmbüchen was formed on March 1, 1974 through the merger of the previously independent communities Altwarmbüchen, Kirchhorst and Neuwarmbüchen and the four Isernhagen Altdörfer. A small area of ​​the city of Hanover with then about 100 inhabitants was added on January 1st, 1975. The community was given the final name Isernhagen on June 1, 1975. The district of Isernhagen NB-Süd of the municipality of Isernhagen came to the city of Hanover on March 1, 1974 and became part of Isernhagen-Süd there . Since November 1, 2001, Isernhagen has been part of the Hanover region , in which the former district of Hanover was absorbed.

coat of arms

The design of the coat of arms of Isernhagen comes from Walter Pietschmann . The approval of the coat of arms was granted by the district of Hanover on January 9, 1978.

Isernhagen coat of arms
 Blazon : " Divided by a silver sloping bar , top left in red three silver lilies (2: 1), bottom right in green four upright, overlapping, silver horseshoes ."
Justification of the coat of arms: The three lilies on a red background in the upper left half are borrowed from the coat of arms of the Lords of Cramm who once lived here , and they stand for the three villages of the former municipality of Kirchwarmbüchen. The four peasant communities, in which horse breeding is the norm, are symbolized by the four horseshoes. In between, the Wietze winds its way as a silver ribbon , which connects all the villages in this municipality.

The coats of arms of the Isernhagen districts

The designs of all of the following coats of arms come from the heraldist and coat of arms painter Gustav Völker , who was born in Isernhagen and later lived in Hanover , and who has already designed the coats of arms of Großburgwedel , Mellendorf , Wunstorf and many other localities in the Hanover region.
