history

The district was formed on April 1, 1885 with the introduction of the district order for the Prussian province of Hanover through the merger of the previous Alfeld district with four rural communities of the former Lauenstein district and the city of Alfeld.

Incorporations

On October 1, 1932, the Gronau district was incorporated .

Territorial reforms in 1973 and 1974 significantly reduced the number of municipalities. In some cases, the outer border of the district also changed:

Since then, the district of Alfeld (Leine) has consisted of 29 cities and municipalities. On August 1, 1977, the district was dissolved and assigned to the Hildesheim district with the exception of the communities of Coppengrave , Duingen , Hoyershausen and Marienhagen , which were assigned to the Holzminden district . On July 1, 1981, the municipalities Coppengrave, Duingen, Hoyershausen and Marienhagen were reclassified from the Holzminden district to the Hildesheim district.

Population development

The district was significantly enlarged in 1932 through the incorporation of the Gronau district.

coat of arms

The municipal coat of arms of the Alfeld district was awarded on March 9, 1935 by the Prussian Ministry of the Interior .

Coat of arms of the Alfeld district
 Blazon : "In the red shield a soaring silver stag with golden antlers and golden bowls ."
Justification of the coat of arms: The district of Alfeld is located in the middle of the former tribal area of ​​the Cherusci , who, through their part in the "liberation of Germania " from the Romans under Prince Arminius, entered the book of German history. Despite the fact that the Cheruscans integrated themselves into the larger tribal union of the Saxons at an early stage , their nationality was preserved, and their prehistoric, folkloric and linguistic traditions are particularly rich in our landscape. Linguistic research derives the name of their tribe from "cherut" = deer. It suggests that the Cheruscans used the deer as a tribal and standard symbol, as many Germanic peoples chose a characteristic animal of their landscape as part of their coat of arms. In choosing the deer as a coat of arms symbol, the district of Alfeld tied in with the old traditions of its people.
