history
The first mention of a place called "Krekenhagen" comes from the time around 1220, when a clearing tithe was levied for newly cleared land. After that, further information is missing, so that it can be assumed that the place fell desolate . Only in the second half of the 16th century does a place called “In den Spreckern” or “Kreyenhagen” appear again in the documents, which was largely inhabited by small farmers.
In the 19th century, Krainhagen developed into a place of residence for miners, glassmakers and basket makers, who were mainly employed in the Obernkirchen mines and glassworks. In the 1920s these workers were predominantly organized in a social democratic and communist manner. After the Second World War , Krainhagen was systematically developed into a sought-after place of residence under Mayor Ernst-August Kranz .
As part of the regional reform in Lower Saxony , the previously independent municipality of Krainhagen was incorporated into the city of Obernkirchen on March 1, 1974.
