history

Liedingen was mentioned as early as the ninth century, but is considerably older, as the form of the name indicates. Lithingi appears as the first spelling in documents, later also Lidinge. This suggests a settlement period in the 6th or 7th century. The stone ax in the coat of arms indicates the oldest traces of human settlements in addition to a stone ax that was also found. These finds can be dated to around 2500 BC. The original form of the one- way village developed into a cluster village . Central German courtyards, some of the "Erkeröder type", and some modern additions and workers' houses characterize the village. In 1492 Liedingen was burned down by the Brunswickers.

There are first indications of church life in the village in a document from 1301. A donation board from 1470, on the other hand, shows the original village church, which was fundamentally renewed and renovated in 1735. Around 1853 there was a concession for prospecting attempts for ore and coal in addition to Vechelde, Bodenstedt and Bettmar, including in Liedingen. However, it soon turned out that the occurrences played practically no role.

The Liedingen volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1874, but it was soon disbanded. It was not brought back to life until 1924. In the same year the marching band was founded . The SV Liedingen sports club has existed since 1931.

Liedingen's assignment to the Braunschweig district and its status as an independent municipality ended in 1974 as part of the regional reform of Lower Saxony . Liedingen has belonged to the municipality of Vechelde since March 1, 1974 and forms a village with a joint local council with Köchingen and Bodenstedt.

coat of arms

The municipal coat of arms was adopted on April 13, 1983 by the local council for Liedingen. The design comes from Arnold Rabbow.

	Blazon : "In Blue , a right diagonal posed golden stone ax ."
	Justification for the coat of arms: The stone ax is intended to remind of the early settlement of this area. The inclination of the hatchet in the coat of arms should reflect the slope or slope of the settlement area. According to Werner Flechsig, the name Lithingi should mean slope of the ground. The blue-gold color indicates that it belongs to the former state of Braunschweig.
