geography

Lödingsen is on the edge of the Solling between the cities of Göttingen and Uslar at about 180  m above sea level. NN . The 8,694 square kilometer district of Lödingsen includes around 400 hectares of cultivated arable land and 85 hectares of meadows.

The village is covered by wooded heights named Mühlenberg (height 235 meters), Lindenberg (height 303 meters), Ziegenberg (height 240 meters), Kükenberg (height 245 meters), Stapelberg (height 252 meters) and Hopfenberg (height 248 meters) framed. The highest point is the Bramburg. Germany's most northerly open-cast basalt mine has been operated there since 1870 , through which the mountain, which towers 465 meters, has already been removed to around 400 meters.

Myths and stories surround some of these hills. Some storms that used to pass Lödingsen and Bramburg are now falling over the place. However, the clouds are now moving faster and no longer get stuck in the "basin".

The cave , source in the "Südwiese", direction Wibbecke , and the Schwülme , with sources in the Bramburg - near the " Friwoler Ruine " - Stehberg, two streams that merge in the middle of the village, shape the image of the town center, but provide through frequent floods cause displeasure among the villagers. The worst floods were before Christmas 1988, then ten years later on October 28, 1998 and November 1, 1998, then in March 2000, on September 29, 2007 and on November 13, 2010.

After all residents of the Schwülme had made their own land available, the very cost-intensive and natural expansion and dismantling of the stream bed could begin in November 2010 and be completed in mid-2011. Great importance was attached to the renaturation . There has been no significant flooding in the village since the new creek bed was completed. A retention basin is planned in front of Lödingsen in order to be able to release the water more slowly to the people below (Lödingsen, Adelebsen, Offensen ) during heavy rain events and thus further minimize the risk of flooding.

The so-called “Notgraben” (a meadow irrigation and drainage system), built around 1800 and running parallel to the Schwülme on the right from the ravine to Adelebsen, had almost become the main arm of the creek since the end of the 20th century and also ensured that the meadows were too moist in summer. It was not until 2001 that the dredging of the sulphate from the ravine weir began that improvement occurred in heavy rain.

history

Lödingen was first mentioned in a deed of gift from Otto III. of August 10, 990. In it he presented his sister Sophia , the canoness of the Gandersheim monastery , with royal property in the form of 30 Hufen of land in various settlements in the Leinegau . Other names of the place, such as Luidingehuson, Ludigessen, Lodingessen, Lodighessen, Lodingissen, Leudingessen, Lonsen and Löhnsen are mentioned in documents. The current name finally emerged from these names at the end of the 18th century.

Most of the property in the place, in which representatives of the de Lodingessen family of knights can be identified between 1170 and 1486 , belonged to the Lords of Uslar, who in 1358 sold all goods and the associated rights to the Lords of Adelebsen . The court on the Tie was moved to Adelebsen and Lödingsen was part of the Adelebsen patrimonial court until 1852 .

In the 14th and 15th centuries Lödingsen experienced a great wave of emigration. Many Lödingser set out to seek their fortune in the distance. The then expanding cities such as Göttingen , Northeim , and Einbeck exerted a special attraction on them. From the 16th century the villages of Lödingsen, Erbsen and Wibbecke together formed a parish , while since the end of the 18th century the deceased of the place could no longer be buried in the cemetery in peas, but in the village's own.

Agriculture was the main source of income until the 19th century. However, the villagers had to pay in kind for the use of the land, such as interest grain, interest crops, interest chickens and interest eggs. In addition, head taxes had to be paid and manual and clamping services had to be performed. The agrarian reform in the middle of the 19th century brought only a slight alleviation of the situation, as poverty increased with the increase in population. The linen weaving became the main source of income. Similar to the 14th and 15th centuries, many residents emigrated again. From the second third of the 19th century they left their homeland and mainly made their way to America .

Slight improvements occurred when basalt mining began on the Bramburg, but the Lödingser succumbed to a decisive mistake in the forest division from 1833 to 1836. They renounced the possession of the rock, so that the lease and tax income went to the Baron von Adelebsen and the Adelebsen area. The factory-based mining of the basalt began in 1870. The only advantage the Lödingser could derive from the mining was to get a job. In 1890 around 90 workers from Lödingsen came to the Bramburg. In 1936, 63 workers could still be found.

In the time of National Socialism , all associations in the village were brought into line. Two citizens of Löding, known as KPD members, were deported to a concentration camp.

After the Second World War , a wave of refugees began. While 631 inhabitants were still registered in 1939, their number grew to 1,350 by 1948. This fact meant that new building areas had to be developed due to the scarce living space. In 1950, the Gartenstrasse settlement was built, followed by the Rischenanger settlement in 1960, the Am Sande settlement in 1963 and Weberwiesen in 1973.

After the Second World War and the end of the occupation by the Americans and British until the end of 1972, the place was an independent municipality and belonged to the Northeim district.

Mayors of the independent community of Lödingsen have been since 1945: Karl Teuteberg until March 1946, then Friedrich Wittwer until October 1946 and then Louis Borchert. With Hans Skowronek, a new citizen was elected for the first time in 1949, then Karl Teuteberg in 1950, Albert Fornefett from 1952, Karl Teuteberg again in 1956 and Günter Buhre in 1961, Fritz Wittwer again from 1964 and Rudolf Hille in 1971.

The regional and administrative reform in Lower Saxony forced a rethink and restructuring in Lower Saxony. The new spot Adelebsen was founded on January 1, 1973, and Lödingsen followed suit. Furthermore, areas including some localities were swapped between the districts; Lödingsen has been part of the Göttingen district since then.

Mayor and community director in Lödingsen during and until the end of the reform was Rudolf Hille, who was then still active from January 1, 1973 to November 12, 1991 as local mayor of the Lödingsen local council and also for many years as councilor and deputy mayor of the Adelebsen area.

From 1991 to 1993 Günter Hartmann ran the business as local mayor, and after his death Norbert Vogt-Wackerow was acting from August 1993 to October 1993. Since October 12, 1993, Norbert Hille has been the local mayor of Lödingsen.

The established parties in Lödingsen had drawn up their own electoral lists by 2011. In 2016, due to the lack of candidates, the electoral group “Common List Lödingsen” made up of members of the parties and interested parties came together and ran for elections. Thus, all 7 local councils belong to the GLL election period, which runs until 2021.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of Lödingsen shows a folkloric symbol of rural character in the blue field. A golden tree of life grows out of the golden wheel covered with six hearts, on which two golden songbirds sit facing each other. The colors of the place are blue-yellow.

traffic

Lödingsen train station

The Göttingen – Bodenfelde railway has been in existence since 1910, with a stop in Lödingsen. The main reason for the construction of the route was the former Bramburger basalt mining. Even today, a lot of freight traffic still runs by rail. Since the station should also serve peas, it is at the eastern end of the village. Relocation to the center of the village is discussed again and again and is also included in the land use plan of the district of Göttingen.

The journey time from Lödingsen to Göttingen train station is around 15 minutes today, and 35/65 minutes in the direction of Bodenfelde / Ottbergen . A two-hour regular service has been offered since 2000. The unrestricted level crossings were secured in November 2013. The Gartenstrasse level crossing can only be used on foot, the Auf dem Kampe level crossing has been equipped with half barriers (as is the one in the neighboring village of Erbsen). The route has been operated by the NordWestBahn since December 15, 2013 . This reintroduced an hourly service on weekdays and thus expanded the offer compared to the previous operator DB Regio . The travel time between Bodenfelde and Göttingen is now around 50 minutes. The trains continue in Bodenfelde via the Sollingbahn to Ottbergen (also known as the Oberweserbahn ) and are tied through to Paderborn .

There is also an hourly RBB bus route towards Göttingen and Uslar / Holzminden.

economy

The village currently has the following medium-sized and small businesses: In addition to five full-time and two part-time farmers with arable farming and / or cattle breeding, there are two painting companies, a heating and plumbing company, an architect, an electrical planning office, a driving school, two hairdressing salons, a butcher's shop ( with additional baked goods), a yoga school, foot care and insurance agencies.

In addition to the communal sports field, which is maintained by VfB Lödingsen von 1919 eV, Lödingsen also has a sports hall, which was built in-house between 1972 and 1975 and has a floor area of ​​28 m × 14 m for sports and major events. At that time, a garage for the portable fire engine of the volunteer fire brigade was integrated into it . In 1985, a room for smaller celebrations and club meetings was also added in-house. From July 2006 to June 2007, the sports hall was renovated with external and 8772 hours of personal work and the fire brigade built a garage for the second vehicle.

There is also the rainbow kindergarten created in 1996 from the Lödingsen play area, in which 25 children in a kindergarten group and since 2010 also 15 small children in a daycare group can be looked after daily from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., with the associated playground. Two more children's playgrounds can be found in Gartenstrasse and Am Sande (under construction). A youth room and the fire brigade training room are housed in the former village school, there is also a football field, two shelters and well-developed hiking and cycling trails to the neighboring villages of Erbsen and Adelebsen (from Göttingen to the Weser).
