Kleinburgwedel ( Low German Littjen Borwee ) is a village and northeastern part of the city of Burgwedel in the Hanover region in Lower Saxony .

history

In the Middle Ages, Kleinburgwedel formed the parish of Burgwedel together with Großburgwedel , Oldhorst , Neuwarmbüchen and Fuhrberg . Regardless of the many war costs, Duke Wilhelm found funds to buy goods. On January 6, 1361, he and Duke Ludwig von Aschwin von Alten acquired many farms and cottages in Kleinburgwedel, Thönse , Wettmar , Engensen , Schillerslage , Burgdorf , Sorgensen , Weferlingsen and Aligse with all their accessories, except those pieces that Aschwin von Alten had lent and reserved when selling. Aschwin had only owned the goods at Kleinburgwedel from Duke Wilhelm zu Lehn; of the rest, he vowed to grant him and Duke Ludwig the fief.

The church registers are preserved from 1661. They show an average population growth of 1.5%, which only declined slightly around 1830.

Due to its location on the southern edge of the Lüneburg Heath , bees are kept in Kleinburgwedel to this day. Between 1589 and 1900, between 70 and 150 standing peoples were regularly placed in straw baskets. The number of bee colonies has fluctuated strongly since the middle of the 20th century.

On August 28, 1808, a major fire disaster occurred in Kleinburgwedel. Eleven houses and 16 outbuildings burned down in a single night.

The Second World War initially did not affect Kleinburgwedel. At the beginning of the war, a flak spotlight position was set up near the station. In the immediate vicinity there was a small barrack camp for Soviet prisoners of war . The actual war events reached the village when British bomber units launched major raids on Hanover in October 1943. On October 9, a British Halifax crashed into the meadows west of Kleinburgwedel after being hit by flak. On October 18, a large bomber association threw incendiary bombs on the village due to poor visibility, which were actually intended for Hanover. 40 buildings burned down; a large number of others were severely damaged.

On March 1, 1974, Kleinburgwedel was incorporated into the new municipality of Burgwedel.

Kleinburgwedel coat of arms
Blazon : “In silver in front of a high, five-pinned , red wall, a stylized, silver oak , growing out of the middle of five stones . In the green base of the shield there is a silver wolf tang . "
Justification of the coat of arms: The red wall reminds us that there used to be a castle in Kleinburgwedel, which was destroyed in the Hildesheim collegiate feud in 1521 . The remains of the ramparts with thirteen large boulders and strong oaks have been preserved until 1870. Therefore the stones and the oak tree were included in the coat of arms. The Wolfsangel symbolizes belonging to the Burgdorf district , which also has this symbol in its coat of arms.
