Location of Leinde in Wolfenbüttel

Leinde is a south-western district of Wolfenbüttel , Lower Saxony ( Germany ).

geography

Leinde is located in the east of the Hildesheimer Börde , on the northwestern edge of the Oderwald in the immediate western vicinity of the independent city of Salzgitter . It is located between the B 248 in the west and the A 36 in the east. The Braunschweig - Salzgitter-Bad railway line runs through the western edge of the town. Neighboring villages are, starting from the northwest and clockwise: Adersheim , Cramme , Salzgitter-Barum and Salzgitter-Immendorf .

history

The first written mention of Leinde as "Lenethe" comes from 1078.

The church registers begin in the middle of the 17th century and are incomplete at the beginning.

The more recent history of the place is closely linked to that of the Reichswerke Hermann Göring and their successors. From 1941 to the spring of 1944, up to 2,000 female and male Eastern workers as well as civilian foreign workers and prisoners of war were housed in the barracks in the Watenstedt / Leinde subcamp . A memorial plaque for the victims of the satellite camp is located on the B 248 approximately opposite the former entrance to the village.

Since its incorporation, which came into force on March 1, 1974, the place has been the westernmost district of Wolfenbüttel . A chronicle of the place appeared in 2010.

coat of arms

Four different elements are depicted in the Leinder coat of arms : in the middle of the bridge creek that used to meander through the village from top to bottom - or east to west . In the left half three ears of wheat on a blue background - an indication of the great fertility of the soil, on which demanding crops such as wheat and sugar beet can be grown (the place is in the Braunschweig-Hildesheimer Lössbörde ). On the right-hand side on a red background, a silver host cup is shown in white above and, finally, below, two different crossed hammers with the head upwards - tools with which limestone was extracted from the former quarry on the Oderwald for building foundations and other purposes, as in many the places surrounding the forest was common.
