geography
Geographical location
The community is located on the southern edge of the Lüneburg Heath (southeast of Celle ). Lachendorf is the seat of the Lachendorf joint community with the political communities of Ahnsbeck , Beedenbostel , Eldingen , Hohne and Lachendorf itself.
With the law on the reorganization of the communities in the district of Celle of January 1, 1972, the Lachendorf area was finally arranged. In terms of area, the Lachendorf municipality is in third place in the district with 164.51 km² .
Lachendorf is located at the outlet of the Lachte river from the gently undulating southern heath into the wide and flat glacial valley of the Aller . Due to its elevated position, it has been spared from floods in the past.

The first communal amalgamations took place in 1968 as part of the administrative reform in Lower Saxony .
The municipality of Lachendorf consists of the following four districts:
- Bunkenburg
- Gockenholz
- Jarnsen
- Lachendorf
history
Early days
Finds from the Stone and Bronze Ages, primarily in the Lachte dunes, indicate that the Lachendorfer area was used by humans long before our era.
middle Ages
The current place name Lachendorf is also listed in old scripts as Lachtendorp or Lachendorp . Old names of the place are around 1196-1197 Locthendorp, 1278 Lachtendorpe, 1278 Lachtendorpe and in 1301 Lochtendorp. Lachendorf probably means "The village on the Lachte" and is given by its location on the river. “Laughing” is a very old, probably pre-Germanic formation for a word for “pond, lake, water point, swamp water”.
The oldest written mention of Lachendorf comes from the year 1353 and is contained in a list by Duke Wilhelm II (Braunschweig-Lüneburg) . The treasury register of the Grand Bailiff of Celle from 1438 names 18 farms in Lachendorf, including a mill.
Modern times
In 1538, Duke Ernst the Confessor selected Lachendorf as the location for a paper mill - the basis for the settlement of new residents was thus given, and the place was from now on decisively shaped by this pre-industrial manufacture. The Walsroder paper mill and the Bommels paper mill in Bomlitz were also founded under the Pfuhl papermaking dynasty .
In 1845 the expansion of the paper mill into a paper mill began. The expanding company moved more workers to Lachendorf, so that the population rose from 445 in 1848 to 1911 in 1900. A siding to the paper mill was laid from the small railway line Celle-Wittingen , which opened in 1904 .
present
Lachendorf belonged to the administrative district of Lüneburg until December 31, 2004 , which was dissolved as a result of an administrative reform at the end of this date.

On January 1, 1973 the communities of Bunkenburg, Gockenholz and Jarnsen were incorporated.

In Lachendorf there is the Ikarus Elementary School and the Oberschule Lachendorf, which arose from the amalgamation of the Geschwister-Scholl School (secondary school) and the Realschule Lachendorf, as well as the Gymnasium Lachendorf, which was completed in summer 2006 and is now called Immanuel-Kant-Gymnasium.
The secondary school Lachendorf had its origin in the district middle school Westercelle. After the building in Westercelle had become too small due to the increased number of students, the construction of a new two-class middle school was approved in 1964. Altenhagen was chosen as the location to shorten the way to school for schoolchildren from the northern districts.
Due to the school policy objectives of the State of Lower Saxony and as a result of the regional reform, the district of Celle, as the school authority, decided in 1976 to build a new secondary school in Lachendorf. The foundation stone was laid in Lachendorf on October 28, 1977, and in January 1979 classes began at the Lachendorf secondary school.
Sports
The oldest club in Lachendorf is the Schützenverein Lachendorf von 1881 eV. The Schützenhaus, which was completed in 1996, is the venue for numerous sporting competitions. The Lachendorfer Schützen think of several regional and district champions in their ranks.
Since the football club FC Lachendorf was founded in 1985, two clubs that host football have coexisted in the village. The club with the largest number of members, TuS Lachendorf , looks after several branches and was founded in 1926. In addition, the Lachendorf tennis club was launched in 1981 . The volleyball club of TuS Lachendorf has also been successful across the region.
Sports facilities
There are three sports halls in Lachendorf, whereby these must be assigned to the primary and secondary school as well as the grammar school. The Lachtestadion, the completion of which was completed in 1981, is the largest sports facility in the municipality of Lachendorf. There is also a tennis facility with six outdoor and three indoor courts.
