About this picture

The district of Peine is a district in eastern Lower Saxony .

geography

The district of Peine extends roughly halfway between the two regional centers of Lower Saxony, Hanover and Braunschweig. In the south of the district it has a share in the fertile arable soils of the Hildesheimer Börde . Approximately north of the federal highway 2 , the foothills of the Südheide are already noticeable in the north of the district . The soils become more sandy here.

The district lies north of the low mountain range in the North German Plain . The highest natural elevation is 132 m above sea level. NHN der Ballenberg, west of the village of Barbecke in the municipality of Lengede, on the southern border of the district of Hildesheim and the city of Salzgitter.

Neighboring areas

The district borders in a clockwise direction in the northwest with the Hanover region , the Gifhorn district , the independent cities of Braunschweig and Salzgitter and the Hildesheim district .

Rivers, canals

The rivers Fuhse , Oker , Aue and Erse and the Mittelland Canal with the Salzgitter branch canal run through the district .

history

The district of Peine was newly formed by the Prussian administration on April 1, 1885 from the city of Peine, the Peine office and 21 municipalities and manor districts of the Meinersen office. The northern part of the district was part of the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and belonged to the Gografschaft Edemissen of the Meinersen office. The southern part has belonged to the Hildesheim Monastery since the Middle Ages . The latter fell to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1803 , and then to the new Kingdom of Hanover in 1814 .

In 1941 the Braunschweig enclaves Ölsburg and Neuölsburg were added to the district. In addition, the Brunswick community of Woltorf was incorporated into the community of Woltorf , which was already part of the district. The next expansion took place on July 1, 1972 to include the places Barbecke , Broistedt and Woltwiesche , which until then belonged to the Wolfenbüttel district and were incorporated into Lengede . On March 1, 1974, the communities of Hämelerwald , Dedenhausen and Eltze were assigned to the district of Hanover and the community of Ohof to the district of Gifhorn . At the same time, the district of Peine received the communities Vechelde and Wendeburg with all the localities (1974–1981 with Didderse , previously the district of Gifhorn) - today's Wendeburg districts of Rüper and Wense were already part of the district of Peine - from the dissolved district of Braunschweig . In order to rebuild the community of Didderse, an area was separated from the community of Wendeburg on May 1, 1981, and the new community became part of the Gifhorn district.

The region has had a tradition of mining and smelting since the Ilseder Hütte was founded in Groß Ilsede in 1858 . In 1976 ore mining was stopped. A tragic and well-known event in the history of the district is the 1963 mining disaster in Lengede , in which 29 miners were killed.

On July 10, 2014, the members of the Ilsede and Lahstedt municipal councils decided to merge the two municipalities. The merger of the municipalities was implemented on January 1, 2015.

A planned merger of the districts of Peine and Hildesheim was planned for November 1, 2016. The start of merger negotiations was controversial in various bodies. In July 2015, the desired merger failed in a vote in the Hildesheim district council.

coat of arms

Coat of arms district Peine.svg

The district had the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior approved a new coat of arms on November 18, 1958. It shows the wolf of Gunzelin von Wolfenbüttel, the founder of the town of Peine, in a double shape, red on a golden field, turned outwards and erect to defend himself. The two wolves are, so to speak, on watch for the existence of the Peine district against the heraldic lions of the urban centers of Hanover and Braunschweig, which are always hungry for their territory. One was free to choose the color of the coat of arms, as the colors of Gunzelin's coat of arms, which has only been handed down on shield seals, are not known. Gold and red were chosen, the colors of the episcopal princely state of Hildesheim, to which the area of ​​today's district came shortly after Gunzelin's death and to which it belonged for five and a half centuries (until 1802).

Before that, the district had a split and half split coat of arms from 1934 to 1958. In the upper golden field it showed a black wolf with red claws and a red tongue jumping to the left. In the lower left field a silver gear wheel on a red background and in the right field a slanted silver sickle on a green background. These referred to the agriculture carried out in the Peine district and the industry located there. The design came from Emil-Werner Baule and was approved by the Prussian State Ministry on January 15, 1935.

landscape

The district is a member of the registered association Braunschweigische Landschaft based in Braunschweig. It was founded to maintain cultural institutions in the region.

District partnerships

The district of Peine maintains a partnership with the city of Heinola in Finland and the Polish powiat Opolski (Opole) . In October 2009, a partnership agreement was signed with the city of Nanchang , capital of Jiangxi Province in the People's Republic of China.

Economy and Transport

In the Future Atlas 2016 , the district of Peine was ranked 186th out of 402 districts, municipal associations and urban districts in Germany, making it one of the regions with a “balanced risk-opportunity mix” for the future.

railroad

As early as 1844, the Braunschweigische Staatsbahn opened its east-west route from Peine to Braunschweig, which connected to the Hannöversche Staatsbahn from Hanover the previous year .

The Magdeburg-Halberstädter Eisenbahngesellschaft set up a train station on their Hanover – Stendal line , built in 1871, in Plockhorst, in what is now the northern tip of the district. The Reichsbahn line Celle – Braunschweig later crossed here , which reached Plockhorst in 1921 and was continued in 1923. A cross-connection between Plockhorst and Peine was added in 1922.

The east-west route Hildesheim – Braunschweig was opened by the Prussian State Railways in 1889. In Broistedt, today in the south of the Peine district, the Ilsede-Lengeder railway, built in 1884 as a narrow-gauge railway, joined the Ilseder Hütte, which later operated as the Groß Ilsede – Broistedt small railway and was gauged until 1919. In Groß Ilsede it was connected to the railway to Peine, which was also opened by the Ilseder Hütte in 1865 (as a horse-drawn tram). Today they form the Peiner Eisenbahn of Verkehrsbetriebe Peine-Salzgitter GmbH .

The route was continued from Broistedt to Salzgitter-Engelnstedt after 1940. The Braunschweigische Landes-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft , which originally operated in the Salzgitter area , was nationalized in 1938 and its routes completely changed or dismantled. In 1886 it opened the Braunschweig – Hoheweg – Lichtenberg – Derneburg line and the Hoheweg – Wolfenbüttel branch. For this purpose, the federal railway lines Wolfenbüttel – Salzgitter-Drütte and Salzgitter-Drütte – SZ-Lebenstedt – SZ-Lichtenberg were built around 1956, where the original route was reached again.

The community Hohenhameln in the southwest of the Peine district was connected to Hildesheim on the one hand and Hämelerwald on the Hanover-Peine line on the other hand through the Hildesheim-Peiner Kreis-Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft since 1896/97 .

Streets

The federal highways 1 , 65 , 214 , 444 and 494 as well as the federal motorway 2 run through the district of Peine.
