Laatzen-Mitte is a village in the city of Laatzen in the Hanover region .
history
Laatzen-Mitte is the youngest part of the city of Laatzen. While the other districts of Alt-Laatzen , Grasdorf , Rethen , Ingeln-Oesselse and Gleidingen were historically grown localities, the district of Laatzen-Mitte was created on the drawing board in the 1970s. The district conceived as a new city center is characterized by the Leine-Center (formerly Leine-Shopping-Center) and the new town hall as well as the surrounding multi-story residential buildings.
The redevelopment of the district began in 2004 as part of the federal-state program for the Social City . In addition to urban development measures , social, economic and ecological improvements also play a role.
politics
Local councilor and local mayor

coat of arms
The design of the Laatzen-Mitte coat of arms is of unknown origin.
- The approval of the coat of arms was granted by the President of the Province of Hanover in 1930/31.
- The city of Laatzen, newly formed by law on March 1, 1974, took over the coat of arms of the previous city of Laatzen, which was approved by the district president in Hanover on April 30, 1974.

Blazon : "In the divided shield above on a red background a growing , golden lion and below on green a silver wave bar ." |
| Justification of the coat of arms: When designing the coat of arms of the upper half of the shield, it was assumed that today's Laatzen district of the city of the same name, together with the current Hanoverian districts of Wülfel and Döhren, belonged to the so-called "Small Free", the old judicial association of the three then independent municipalities. This area in turn formed part of the so-called "Great County" and passed in 1248 from the Counts of Lauenrode to the Welfs . Both sexes, the Counts of Lauenrode and the Dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , have a soaring lion in their coat of arms. Since the rule of the Lauenroder counts in the Kleiner Free area ended in 1248, the Guelph lion was certainly thought of when designing the coat of arms. The silver wave bar on a green background in the lower half of the shield is intended to symbolize Laatzen's position on the leash embedded in green meadows. |
