Klein-Buchholz is an earlier village, first mentioned in 1360, which was incorporated into Hanover in the course of the construction of the Mittelland Canal in 1907 and is now an urbanized part of the Bothfeld-Vahrenheide district .

The date on which the village was founded is deduced from a document dated February 2, 1379: It mentions the village of Groß-Buchholz, so Klein-Buchholz must have already existed. Klein-Buchholz is mentioned for the first time in a document in 1421.
At the time of incorporation into Hanover in 1907, Klein-Buchholz reached in the west as far as Platz Vier Grenzen, in the north almost as far as the Bothfelder Church , in the east the border ran through the Altwarmbüchener Moor , to the south as far as today's Kirchrode. It covered the area with the Mittelland Canal between Sahlkamp and Podbielskistraße. When the city ​​districts were created in Hanover, Klein-Buchholz lost its function as a district in 1981. Only the name of the street Klein-Buchholzer Kirchweg in the old village center, the Klein-Buchholz shopping park and the Uniformed Rifle Society Klein-Buchholz v. 1856 are still reminiscent of the earlier village. The development of Bothfeld, Klein- and Groß-Buchholz merges into one another. Between the densification with more urban buildings, there are still numerous buildings from the earlier village such as half-timbered houses from pre-industrial times and brick buildings from the 19th century.

As early as 1900 there was a tram line that ran via Podbielskistraße into Sutelstraße leading through Klein-Buchholz to the local depot. For decades until 2014 (since 1906) it was called "Line 7". Tram Hannover AG - later Uestra - operated an "electrical power station" in the tram depot in order to be able to feed the electricity into the electrical overhead lines. The “Noltemeyer” stop at the restaurant of the same name, which used to be a break far from the city gates of Hanover, was relocated to the newly built bridge in the course of the widening of the Mittelland Canal around 2000. This stop was named "Noltemeyerbrücke". It replaced two stops, the one at the beginning of Sutelstraße and the one on Podbielskistraße on what was then Line 3.

In 1997 the Association Tradition Klein-Buchholz was founded , which promotes the memory of the former village and the later district with the traditions associated with it, and unsuccessfully sought to reassign Klein-Buchholz to the status of a district. On the private property of the Klein-Buchholz shopping park on Sutelstrasse, an area has been designated as a "village square" with the name Platz der Klein-Buchholz citizens . A symbolic maypole with advertising plaques from the companies represented in the shopping area characterizes this place . So-called farmers' markets take place here regularly.
In 2009, the neighboring hall of the Üstra tram depot, which is a listed building, was renovated and expanded into retail stores. This enlarged the shopping center between Sutelstraße and Im Heidkampe with numerous other shops.
