Lenglern is a village belonging to the Bovenden district in Lower Saxony and has around 2200 inhabitants. It is the most populous part of the area after Bovenden, is located in the western part of the Leinegraben and is separated from the Leinetal by the ridge of the Lieth.
geography
The lowest altitude of the local situation is 145 m above sea level. NHN , this is found in the meadows of the southeastern part of the village, at the train station the height is 157 m above sea level, while east of Lenglern the elongated Keuperrücken of Lieth joins with an elevation of 200 m above sea level. To the northwest is the Kramberg , formed from shell limestone and Lettenkohlenkeuper and about 207 m above sea level. The highest elevation can be found, at 269 m above sea level, southwest of the village with the Upper Holz shell limestone ridge . Gravel and loess drifts from the Pleistocene era take up the greater part of the district area. In addition, a tongue of alluvial clay and limestone sinter runs through the valley.
history
The first written mention of the village is in a document from Otto I from 966. In it, the emperor confirms the donation made by his mother Mathilde of lands in Drodminne ( Dortmund ), Uuinide ( Weende ) and Lenglere to the Marienkloster in Enger. However, archaeological finds point to an older settlement. It is also unclear whether the mention of Lenglere actually refers to today's village of Lenglern. So it could be at Lenglere also the place Lenklar in Werne , in the district of Unna , act, which in the Middle Ages as Lanclar , Lenclere and Lenclar is mentioned. This thesis would be supported by the naming of the immediately neighboring city of Dortmund. In addition, Kirchlengern would come into question, who has the names Lengere , Langlere and Lanclerion in sources .
After the Thirty Years War Lenglern had 255 inhabitants, by 1780 the number of inhabitants had almost doubled. The development was concentrated along and between the two main streets running in east-west and north-south directions (Lange Straße / Bovender Straße and Mittelstraße / Holtenser Straße). Lenglern had been part of the Harste office since 1418 at the latest, which was dissolved on July 1, 1823. From this point on, the place changed to the Amt Bovenden, established in 1815, and almost 25 years later it had around 670 inhabitants, who were spread over 109 houses. The population remained relatively constant in the following years, so records for the year 1858 testify to 688 inhabitants, while in 1866 660 people were counted in the village.
The agriculture has put away strongly influenced Lenglern throughout its history very much. In 1910 the Göttingen – Bodenfelde railway was opened via Lenglern. In 1934 an ammunition plant was built in the northeast of the village and in 1939 the Marie-Caroline iron ore mine began to be exploited. This company was closed in 1961 and the site was recultivated a short time later.
On January 1, 1973 Lenglern was incorporated into the Bovenden district.
In the 20th century, extensive new building areas were developed north and east of the settlement core.
mayor
The local mayor of Lenglern is currently Marianne Stietenroth ( SPD ).
Culture and sights
Martinskirche
Because the structures of the churches of St. Laurentius and St. Martin, which date from the Middle Ages, increasingly deteriorated in the 18th century, the office of Harste decided to rebuild the Martinskirche. In the meantime, the service took place in a barn, while the bells were temporarily placed on the tie. In 1780, 26 years after the old Martinskirche was demolished, work on a new church began under the direction of Pastor Stollberg from Obernjesa . Since the church was supposed to be primarily a sermon room according to the plans, the pulpit occupies a central place above the altar . Pastor Stollberg designed the altar wall himself, while Heinrich Christian Schrader from Göttingen did the sculpting. The inauguration of the new building took place on July 4, 1784. The organ , built by Stephan Heeren from Gottsbüren, dates back to 1795 and is now a listed building . An inscription above the main portal on the east side of the Martinskirche names the church commissioners and pastor Eberhard Johann Baring involved in the new building.
