The Warne flows north of Klein Mahner about a kilometer away .

history

In the 12th century, the land of today's Klein Mahner was first documented in an exchange agreement between the monasteries of Ilsenburg and Steterburg . The former place name was Mandere . Klein Mahner seems to have been the older and therefore initially also the larger of the two places, so that it is likely that Klein was only added in the later development period. Klein Mahner was built on a dry area in the middle of the Warne marshland together with arable land.

In 1393, the approximately three kilometer long Mahner pond was created. The origin goes back to a damming of the Warne, whereby the Liebenburg , which belonged to the diocese of Hildesheim , should be protected from the hostile Brunswick troops . The pond was drained again between 1810 and 1815, and the reclaimed area was then used for livestock.

In 1746, Klein Mahner burned down completely for the last time. Thatched half-timbered houses disappeared from the townscape. Therefore, most of the buildings still preserved today date from the 19th century. When the town of Salzgitter was founded in 1942, the villages of Klein and Groß Mahner were finally separated from each other. Groß Mahner was assigned to the city of Salzgitter, Klein Mahner to the district of Goslar. However, the pastor's seat for both places is still in Klein Mahner. In the past few years, the damming of the Warne created another pond, which, however, cannot be compared with the size of the former Mahner pond.

On July 1, 1972, Klein Mahner was incorporated into Liebenburg.

The oldest piece of equipment in the church is the medieval altar, which dates back to before the Reformation in 1542. It is one of the few preserved altars from this period. The church tower, on the other hand, was renewed in 1812, but has never lost its shape as a defensive tower . The nave was demolished in 1865 and rebuilt in the neo-Gothic style. With the exception of the altar, all other pieces of equipment date from the 19th century.
