history

The first written mention dates from the 9th century, when the place Meyngereshusen is mentioned in the Corveyer traditions . The place name goes back to the personal name Maginger . During the Middle Ages, the surrounding monasteries Corvey , Hilwartshausen , Nikolausberg and Weende , but also secular lords such as the Counts of Northeim and the Lords of Katlenburg had estates in Mengershausen. However, the area around the village had already been settled in the Neolithic Age. In 1904, the Göttingen university professor Max Verworn carried out the first excavation, which turned out to be the most productive to date. He found a settlement of the band ceramics , which dates from the second millennium BC and was inhabited again in the last centuries before the birth of Christ. Another significant individual find was recovered in 1928 when a Neolithic rag ax was found in Sieboldshausen Grund, which is now in the Göttingen Municipal Museum . Other finds include hatchets, hoes, and disk-turned vessels from the later Latène period . The last find, a Neolithic shoe last wedge, was found in 1941 in the small field on the road to Örshausen . On January 1, 1973 Mengershausen was incorporated into the community of Rosdorf.

The von Mengershausen in southern Hanover (1250-1850) are a southern Hanoverian family who were mentioned in the 13th century in Nörten, Northeim and Friedland, where they were bound to the land.

Religions / Church

Evangelical Church Mengershausen

The founding year of the parishes and the laying of the foundation stone of Mengershausen's first church is not known. In 1515 it is known that the consecration was due to a renovation of the village chapel in Lemshausen, “St. Urban "is. It can be assumed here that the Mengershausen residents also had their own house of worship. The foundation stone of the current, still nameless church in Mengershausen was laid on September 4, 1793. The construction costs for this at that time were 2,279 thalers. In the years 1793 to 1795, the church was built in the strict, classicist style of the 18th century by the builder and university architect Georg Heinrich Borheck, a well-known builder and university architect in the southern Lower Saxony region . The Mengershausen organ, built by Johann Wilhelm Schmerbach the Middle, is important here. The church has been a listed building for many years. Today it is also signposted as a motorway church on federal motorway 7 .

coat of arms

The blazon reads: The shield divided by yellow and green; above a blue-armored and blue-tongued growing red lion; a silver circular ring below.

Reason: The heraldic figure in the upper half of the shield, the growing red lion, is intended to express the historical relationships with the von Mengershausen family. The silver circular ring in the lower half of the shield is the distinctive characteristic of Mengershausen, from the outside it symbolizes the lawn spring not far from Mengershausen, which is of particular economic importance for the place.
