Location of Markoldendorf in Lower Saxony

Markoldendorf is a district of the city of Dassel in the district of Northeim ( southern Lower Saxony ), which was enlarged in 1974 by a regional reform . Before 1974 it had the status of a patch .

geography

Markoldendorf lies between the towns of Dassel and Einbeck on the rivers Ilme and Bewer , which converge east of Markoldendorf. The Feldmark is mainly used for agriculture and forestry. The Steinberg (172 m) lies in the north of the patch . The surrounding lowland is geologically known as the Einbeck-Markoldendorfer Basin and in natural terms as the Ilme Basin , which then merges into the Leinegraben .

history

Prehistory and early history

In the district of Oldendorp, east of today's Markoldendorf, there is an archaeological soil monument of high regional history. It is to be regarded as one of the early central locations of the Einbeck-Markoldendorfer Basin. It is a multi-period site, the oldest stray finds of which date back to the Late and Upper Palaeolithic and the Middle and Early Neolithic . In the late Latène period of the 1st century a settlement developed here that lasted until the 9th century of the Carolingian era . The St. Martin patronage of the church and the former archpriest's seat also indicate the early importance of the place. The beginnings of iron production on Steinberg, as in Solling, can be traced back to the time before the birth of Christ by evidence of cinder and ceramic finds.

middle Ages

Evangelical Lutheran St. Martin Church from 1869 in the Oldendorf district

Oldendorf is the much older district that was used as a court in the Suilbergau as early as 1000 . A house of worship was built next to this place of justice, later the Martinskirche . The location of the village was favorable, because it was directly on Hellweg , which led to Leipzig and established a connection between East and West Germany. For 300 years the old village was the place of the judgment. Simon von Dassel owned hooves here, and in 1310 he excluded Steinberg from the county’s sale. The location of the village also developed positively in terms of the church. The Templars of Moringen moved into the Ilmetal and built a fortified church in Oldendorf. As the Sede Church of St. Peter's Abbey, it was the ecclesiastical center of the Ilmetal. Every year farmers from the surrounding villages moved to the fair in Oldendorf and so more and more craftsmen settled in Oldendorf. This settlement on the north bank of the Ilme was called Markoldendorf in 1315 because of its newly acquired market rights. In addition to market rights, Markoldendorf was also granted brewing rights in the 14th century. This gave them the freedom to brew beer, which was the main food in the Middle Ages. However, the new privileges of the village were made possible by an annual payment of 10 Marks in Einbeck's currency. Furthermore, Markoldendorf had to coordinate with the Vogt zu Hunnesrück .

Today's village center, Markoldendorf north of the Ilme, has been a Flecken since 1437. Until 1939, the village of Oldendorf was an independent village immediately south of the Ilme. Until then, the Ilme was the local border.

Modern times

former Marienkapelle from 1779, near the old market

In 1575 a Latin school was opened in Markoldendorf. The place grew splendidly, but the Thirty Years' War caused severe damage. In 1626, 45 houses were destroyed when an army of Tilly moved through , and the Markoldendorf population had to flee to Einbeck three times to protect themselves. The war had driven all preachers and teachers out of the village, the peasants lacked a lot.

On November 3, 1723, large parts of Markoldendorf fell victim to a fire. According to an old guild book, all but four houses were destroyed. In 1779 the Markoldendorfer Marienkapelle had to be rebuilt.

During the time of Westphalian rule 1809-1813, the place had lost a lot of its attractiveness. At that time, Markoldendorf achieved 250,000 thalers through the trade in linen. After the Congress of Vienna , Markoldendorf belonged to the Kingdom of Hanover and had a self-chosen administration. The linen trade and weaving flourished in Markoldendorf; On the Steinberg, clay iron near Belemnite- bearing Lias was mined on the basis of Sub- Planicosta sandstone . At that time, 82 out of 157 companies were linen weavers and almost two thirds of the families were workers. The government in Hanover granted Markoldendorf 5 guilds, so the market in the village flourished. In 1833 the farmers in Markoldendorf were liberated. They could buy their way out with a one-off payment of 25 times their annual burden. The new St. Martin Church was built between 1867 and 1869.

In the period from 1939 to 1947, inferior iron ore was mined in the Steinberg opencast mine with the help of foreign workers. The extraction of iron ore, which contains only 30% of iron ore (compared to 70% of Swedish iron ore) was never rationally economical and only owed to the war economy and the Nazis' self-sufficiency efforts. Shortly after the end of the Second World War, iron ore mining and the transport of iron ore to the Reichswerke Hermann Göring from Markoldendorf were also stopped. Furthermore, Markoldendorf housed a dairy that is now home to a discotheque. In 1967, Holy Spirit was built for the Catholic community. From 1988 to 1994 the St. Martin Church was completely renovated.

The Markoldendorf patch was incorporated into the town of Dassel on March 1, 1974.

Culture and sights

Attractions

Churches

  • Lady Chapel, built in 1779. Your organ was restored by Rudolf Janke . The building had dormer windows that were removed in a later renovation. After approval by the responsible church bodies, it should be converted into a columbarium . After serious damage to the roof structure was found, the building has not been used since 2014. State superintendent Eckhard Gorka officially closed the chapel on February 23, 2019.
  • St. Martin Church, built 1867–1869 according to plans by Conrad Wilhelm Hase . It replaced a dilapidated older church, the winged altar of which has been preserved from the 15th century and is part of the holdings of the Lower Saxony State Museum . During the demolition, capitals of a previous church in the Romanesque style were found under the floor of this church building. The church, consecrated in 1869, was built from light gray sandstone, which was quarried in Solling in quarries on Speerberg and near Lauenberg. It is a pseudo basilica with a transept and organ by Wilhelm Furtwängler and four bells. From 1988–1994 a thorough renovation took place. In 2013 and 2014, the only pair of storks in Germany that nested on the top of a church tower nestled on its spire . For traffic safety reasons, the nesting site was then removed and an artificial eyrie was set up near the place.

Christianity

The Evangelical Lutheran parish of Markoldendorf, which has by far made up the largest proportion of local believers since the Reformation, belonged to the parish of Leine-Solling and uses St. Martin's Church and the Marienkapelle. The surrounding villages Ellensen, Eilensen, Krimmensen, Hoppensen and Wellersen were affiliated to the community. On June 1, 2012, the congregation was united with the St. Laurentius parish in Dassel, the St. Trinity parish in Sievershausen and the parish in Hoppensen to form the new Evangelical Lutheran Emmaus parish Dassel-Solling .

Since the Reformation , the Catholics have become a small minority, which hardly changed after the Second World War due to the influx of displaced persons, ethnic German repatriates and guest workers, but this resulted in the establishment of the Heilig Geist parish , which belonged to the parish of St. Michael Dassel . In 1967 the Heilig Geist church was built on Wellerser Strasse, made of prefabricated construction with an entrance tower. Since 2004 the church belongs to the parish of St. Josef in Einbeck .
