history

In 1321 the Hildesheim monastery of St. Michael owned a mountain near "Meymerhusen". Further ownership of the village is documented in 1578 in an inheritance register of Winzenburg Castle , which shows that the "Ruscheplaten" (von Rauschenplatt) family had a seat here until 1609 and also owned land in the nearby village of Everode . The property then changed hands. Around 1855 the farmers were freed from their burdens in accordance with the redemption law. Baron von Steinberg bought it in 1861 . When this family died out in the male line in 1911, the daughter of Steinberg, who later married into the Hardenberg family , sold it , and the lands were divided into smaller plots. 1925 the population was 188. In 1961 the place had 272, in 1970, shortly before the incorporation, 190 inhabitants. On March 1, 1974 Meimerhausen was incorporated into the municipality of Freden (Leine).

coat of arms

The municipality was awarded the local coat of arms on May 5, 1939 by the President of the Province of Hanover . The district administrator from Alfeld presented it on December 7th of the same year.

Blazon : "In a blue shield on a green hill coveredwith a lying silver stag antler , a magpie in natural colors with an upwardly sloping tail and a raised right leg."

Foundation of the coat of arms: According to the memory of the ancients of the village of Meimerhausen, before the linking of the district, when there was still a place everywhere along the ways and Rainen Baum and Hagen, the Elster was the character bird of the place and its surroundings, which played an important role in legend and tradition . The community rightly chose the beautiful bird, which has become a rarity in its field today, as a landmark.

The village church or chapel is a brick building with a west tower. It was built in 1878/80 according to a plan by Conrad Wilhelm Hase in the neo-Gothic style on the site of the previous church.
