history

Muddenhagen is already mentioned in a document dated August 15, 1100 as "Muthen".

Modenhagen is given on old maps as the name for Muddenhagen (1754 Grenzatlas). Mudde or Moder means headwaters , Hagen means forest . On other old maps Muddenhagen is referred to as Muddenhagen Springs, which indicates a headwaters. Much earlier there was a mud area with small springs from the church that flowed into the old extinguishing water pond .

There used to be two villages in this area, Muddenhagen and Schönhagen. Schönhagen was destroyed in the Huisitenkrieg in the 14th century and not rebuilt. Only the name of the hallway reminds of Schönhagen : "Schönhagen" and "Schönkirkhouf". The field name "Schönkirkhouf" is on Eberschützer Straße at the level of "Fricken Kreuz". A church must have stood here earlier. Skull bones were still found there during earthworks around 1934 .

The place Muddenhagen was also badly destroyed in the Hussite War, but was rebuilt, it was not enough for the church at that time. Muddenhagen does not belong to the Bördedörfern, because of the bad soil . Until the end of 1890 Muddenhagen was still under the rule of the nobles.

Muddenhagen is mentioned again and again in the church history of Bühne. On October 1st, 1652: Manrode and Muddenhagen belong to the parish of Bühne. 1600: Income of the pastor on the stage as pride fees for the baptism of a child from Muddenhagen or Manrode 2 groschenund. 1614: Muddenhagen paid 20 thaler for the bell casting in the stage. 1663: Participation in the stage parsonage and 1671: Confirmation in Borgentreich from Muddenhagen 13 confirmers. 1673: Pastor Hemstedt gave a sermon where there used to be a church and 1687: Church renovation. Muddenhagen also had to pay. 1760, May 12th: Entry in the Bühner church book: “The whole Börde was one big army camp. The Hessian army was near Muddenhagen. ”During the Seven Years' War the poverty of the population was so great that the soldiers were gathered to alleviate the greatest need. Acorns, wild berries such as rose hips, sloes, hawthorn fruits and beechnuts also served as food for humans. It was a meager life.

1768: Help for the stage parsonage. 1821: During the construction of the Bühner parish church, Muddenhagen was given 1/6 of the construction sum = 1180 Rth 7 silver groschen and 6 pfennig, signed Ischen local officials and the local councilors Eikenberg, founder, Weggen, Krull, Wasmuth. 1823/1824: the stones for the church were broken in the Muddenhagen quarry (counted with 180 Rth). 1824: the village of Muddenhagen has 44 hearths , 177 communicants, 1 Jewish family and 2 Calvinist women. 1849: Muddenhagen pays 16 Rth 20 groschen for the reconstruction of the stage church, Muddenhagen pays 16 Rth subsidy for 2 statures for the Bühn church.

The first church stood on the place where Richjürgen's house is. During excavation work to build the house, thick foundation walls were found in 1874. However, these were not taken into account. In 1957, two skeletons were also found during excavations for the water pipe and the sewer , buried in an east-west direction. In memory of the church there is a saint's house on this square . The cross, a mission cross , is also reminiscent of a church. The wayside shrine was donated by Herdemerten (Eselmühle) in 1749 .

The second church could only be built around 1900. A lot of personal work was required. Materials were even brought in with cows, for example from Borgentreich's brickworks . It was very exhausting because the paths were very bad, because there was still no real road surface .

In 1955 this church was torn down because it had become damp from below; she wasn't isolated. So that the new church could be built higher, it was built on the rubble of the old church. The church was built larger than its predecessor. Bömmelburg and Rose were therefore relocated.

The financing of the church buildings, the forest, Silkesberg, was converted into property for prospective buyers at the time of the recession around 1898, although the residents of Muddenhagen were certainly not rich at the time. It used to be a pure beech forest . The spruce trees were planted afterwards.

One man from each household felled unpaid wood on the Silkesberg for three days in winter. At the same time, the woodland was also cleared.

The current little church bell , which could even have been recovered from the rubble of the first church, if no other data is available, was hanging on a so-called gallows in the schoolyard before the church was built around 1900. The older students had to ring the bell in turn.

They had to rattle on Maundy Thursday , Good Friday and Holy Saturday . This custom of clattering during Holy Week has been preserved to this day.

The cemetery was laid out in 1924; until then the dead had to be buried in the stage. The electricity came to Muddenhagen in 1924. The transformer , the so-called electrical house, stood in today's parking lot belonging to the organ builder Simon . (In the 1960s, remains of foundation walls were found in the garden of house number 30.) The bakery, which was already in disrepair, had to give way when the village was beautified. It stood by the extinguishing water pond. It has been enclosed by walls over the years. Now it's completely set in concrete. The surrounding area was drained by piping. The village well was to the right of the extinguishing water pond . The village well was now very polluted, too much liquid manure , it has been covered. The so-called "Köttelbecke" has been completely piped up in recent years.

In the 1950s, after everyone had a water flush , a sewage treatment plant was also required. This was built, according to the latest status at the time, in the old quarry below the cemetery . This sewage treatment plant has probably not proven itself.

The first known school building was in the half-timbered house, where the house of F. Rose now stands. In 1865 there is talk of a teacher Carl Dewenter. He worked in Muddenhagen for nine years. A new school was built around 1900 . For this, the old half-timbered house was dismantled and erected again in the upper village. Now it was used as a restaurant . The house is known as "Sattlers Haus", the Pape / Krull restaurant. When the church was being built around 1955, a new school was also built, which now serves as a hall. The area on which the new school was built belonged to the "Höppermühle". It was exchanged for “Pfingstanger” and “Schulland”.

From 1970 the primary school students went to school in the stage. After the school strike in 1978, the children attended elementary school in Borgentreich. Since 1997 children have been schooled in the stage again.

Until 1831 the entrance to the town was from Lamerden or Körbecke. The current entrance to the village was very narrow at the cemetery and at the level of Saffegen's house. Later earth was removed from the cemetery side and filled in the ravine directly opposite . That can still be seen today. The gorge was also partially used as an entrance to the village.

Since January 1st, 1975, Muddenhagen has belonged to the town of Borgentreich after the municipal reorganization through the merger of the formerly independent towns of Borgentreich and Borgholz and the communities of Bühne , Drankhausen , Großeneder , Körbecke , Lütgeneder , Manrode , Natingen , Natzungen and Rösebeck .

Lammert

Lammert was the community pasture until around 1900. The pasture was converted into arable land . Those who no longer had a cow pasture received ¼ acre as compensation. It was very bad land on the Höpperberg. If you consider that you counted six acres of land in his time to keep a cow, it was very little either.

Pentecostal

Anger means village square, accessible to everyone. So the name can also be interpreted in such a way that a village festival, let's call it Schützenfest , was celebrated at Pentecost . There was a spring on Pentecostal. Those who tended their cows nearby on the rope gave their cows water to drink there. At the time of the chronicler, the source was still in public use. In 1939, measurements were made of the source power. As a water supply for the area it was not enough. The spring was later piped. Now the Whitsun is arable land. Today only the street name “Pfingstanger” in the neighboring town of Manrode reminds of the source.
