history
In the year 854 Lüchtringen is mentioned for the first time in the annals of the Corvey Monastery under the name Lutringi (12 different spellings, including Luhtringi, Luchtringi) . In 1060 there are already farms in Lüchtringen. Another document mentions that in 1060 in Lutringi in Augagau the harvest was brought to the barn of Abbot Saracho von Rossdorf . In 1261 the knight Lambert von Lüchtringen (approx. 1225–1283) is mentioned in a document, who owns goods and farms in the village. In the coat of arms he has a five-armed candlestick with a crest on which the town's coat of arms, which has existed since 1952, goes back today. The sex could be proven until 1469 and held many high offices in the city of Höxter, such as mayor, councilor, consul, guild master for tailors, furriers and blacksmiths. In Lüchtringen the Lambertweg is named after him.
Above Lüchtringen there was a Weser island mentioned in loan letters from the 14th century.
During the Thirty Years' War six imperial cavalry regiments crossed the Weser near Lüchtringen in April 1634 and advanced via Holzminden to Bevern. These were then repulsed by the Swedish general James King in Bevern. From 1794 to 1803 Lüchtringen was part of the Corvey diocese and the ecclesiastical province of Mainz . From 1803 the place belongs to the Principality of Orange-Nassau under Wilhelm I in Fulda . From 1813 to the Kingdom of Prussia . On January 18, 1806, the popular custom carried out at that time in Lüchtringen was indirectly forbidden in the Corveyer Intellektivenblatt (official gazette), at which the groom was accompanied from the church with beatings and fists at a wedding after the marriage in the church. From December 1807 Lüchtringen belongs under French rule to the Kingdom of Westphalia , department of the Leine with government in Göttingen, district of Einbeck , canton of Fürstenberg .
In 1808, the Holzminden- Fürstenberg country road east of Lüchtringen was expanded as a road and now forms the Lower Saxony state road 550. From 1815, Lüchtringen and the Principality of Corvey are assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia .
In 1824 the “Lüchtringer Kopf”, a high, willow-covered island within the Weser river, was connected to the right bank by barriers below the village at km 73.7 and the left bank was fortified. In 1865 Lüchtringen was given a stop on the Altenbeken – Kreiensen railway line . In 1871, the peace oak next to the cross by Gabriel Krekeler was planted in the town center by those returning from the Franco-German War . This was received in 1878 and a newly planted oak lasted until 2001. A sandstone cross was also erected at the chapel in Murrwinkel. In October 1876 the place received a rail connection on the second railway line Holzminden-Scherfede . In 1880 a registry office is set up, which existed until the administrative reform in 1970.
During the Second World War , a German Heinkel He 111 bomber plane crashes in the summer of 1943 . The five crew members were killed. On February 21, 1944, a US Boeing B-17 bomber plane crashed near Lüchtringen, killing 4 crew members. In April 1945 the place is taken by US soldiers.
As a result of the municipal reform, Lüchtringen lost its independence, the Höxter-Land office was dissolved, as was the registry office in Lüchtringen. Since January 1, 1970, the community has belonged to the town of Höxter as a district. Several streets are renamed, including Bahnhofstrasse in Westfalenstrasse, Grabenstrasse in Lambertweg and Traubenstrasse in Weinstrasse.
The last mayor of Lüchtringen, Wilhelm Beverungen (born 1915) becomes deputy mayor of the city of Höxter until 1989 after the municipal reform.
In 1971 the Catholic Hauptschule was dissolved and the Catholic Primary School remained.
In October 1971, following an area change agreement between the federal states of North Rhine-Westphalia and Lower Saxony , the Otterbach area of Lüchtringen, which was formerly on the Holzminden side, was incorporated in exchange for areas on the Stahler Ufer, which made 112 residents new citizens of Lüchtringen and the city of Höxter.
A 180 m long bridge over the Weser was completed in August 1977 and the ferry service previously carried out there was discontinued in December 1977.
