Church brigades from a western view

Kirchwehren is a district of Seelze in the Hanover region . The townscape is still largely agricultural, although most of the residents earn their livelihood outside of agriculture and residential developments predominate.

geography

Kirchwehren is located in the south of Seelze at the intersection of the L390 and the K251. In the immediate vicinity are the districts of Seelz Almhorst in the north, Lathwehren with the Dunau estate of the family v. Alten in the west, Döteberg in the northeast, and the Gehrden districts of Ditterke , Northen and Lenthe south of the Großer Holz. Several bus lines lead to the core city of Seelze, to Hanover and Barsinghausen, which is about 10 km away, the closest medium-sized center in the southwest.

history

Kirchwehren was first mentioned in 1096 in a deed of donation from Bishop Oldaricus von Minden . In 1996 a 900 year celebration was celebrated.

Together with the Seelz district of Lohnde, the first building areas were developed here in 1967, which opened up to non-residents, increased the population by 130 people and improved the infrastructure and transport links.

On March 1, 1974, Kirchwehren was incorporated into the community of Seelze.

politics

The SPD is represented by 4 and the CDU by 3 people in the local council . Jens Seegers (SPD) has been the local mayor since 1999.

Culture and sights

Kirchwehren has a sports club, a volunteer fire brigade with a music train and a working group in which the residents are committed to the local community. The artist Wolfgang Tiemann has a studio and center of life in Kirchwehren. Tiemann works with sculptures, etchings and paintings that are shown at national and international exhibitions.

Trinity Church

The Evangelical Trinity Church, which was first mentioned in a document in 1221, is characteristic of the site . The nave was demolished in 1753 because it was in disrepair, and a new building, the current nave, was inaugurated in 1755. The tower was built together with the demolished ship between 1500 and 1540 and was spared during the demolition. Today it is the oldest part of the church. Pulpit altar and probably the baptismal angel are works by court sculptor Johann Friedrich Ziesenis from 1755. The oldest bell from 1612 with a diameter of 82 cm was cast by Joachim Schrader. The first organ in the history of the church was not created until 1793 by the Hanoverian court organ builder Wilhelm Heinrich Bethmann . Around the church there is a closed cemetery with some historical grave tablets from the 18th century. The new cemetery with chapel is located on the south-eastern outskirts.

A multi-purpose building houses the volunteer fire brigade, the kindergarten and the village community center . The building includes a hall for about 100 people with cooking facilities. This is where the local groups and clubs meet.

Economy and Infrastructure
