history

Around 6000 BC First farmers settled in the Nöpker area and around 1700 BC. BC burial mounds were created. Around 800 AD, during the Frankish-Saxon War, many villages were created through deportations and forced resettlements in this area. A first settlement was built on the Beeke and Verden - Bremer -Heerweg. Around 1000 AD, nine main courtyards surrounded the Grinderwald . One of them was the main farm in Hagen, which also included the farm Noepke.

It was first mentioned in a document as Nuibike in 1165 and the donation agreements to the Minden church date from 1167 . In 1263 the property in "Nobeke" was ascribed to the Minden Cathedral monastery in Dudensen in a document and in 1282 Johannes Graf von Stotel gave the Mariensee monastery a farm in Nöpke (farm no. 1). In 1342, ten pieces of land from the diocese of Minden came into the possession of the Mariensee monastery in exchange for a farm in Estorf.

The Hildesheim collegiate feud took place from 1519 to 1523 . An army of Duke Heinrich moved from Hanover via Nöpke to Wölpe to besiege the fortress. In 1540 Borstel and "remains" of Nöpke became the property of the Mariensee Monastery. In 1585, Nöpke already consisted of eight Meierhöfe , six Kötner posts and 20 Brinkitzers . During the siege of Nienburg in 1625, imperial troops devastated the country. The farms in Nöpke were devastated, three burned down and 18 of the 32 local farmers died.

In 1645, Johann Fiene was identified as the first Vogt (customs officer) in Nöpke. In 1712 twelve Nöpker were punished for staying away from the wolf hunt. In 1750 the bailiwick in Nöpke was dissolved. In 1767 the mill was built.

In 1829 the brickworks started work and in 1841 the school was founded and set up . In 1842 the division and coupling interest group ( Realgemeinde ) was founded. In the course of the regional reform of 1859, the Wölpe office was dissolved. The Nöpker cemetery was established in 1873.

In 1884, Nöpke came to the Neustadt am Rübenberge district in a further regional reform . In 1901 the gymnastics club was founded and in 1902 Nöpke received a fire engine. In 1905 the war club (Kyffhäuserkameradschaft) was founded, in 1923 the mixed choir and in 1924 the rifle club. In 1930 the mill was shut down. In 1932 the construction of the second school began.

During the Second World War , many men were called up for military service, the work in agriculture was done by women, maids and prisoners of war. The clubs were banned. On April 6, 1945 Nöpke was taken by British troops without a fight.

coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms by Nöpke comes from the heraldist and graphic artist Alfred Brecht , who created all the coats of arms in the Hanover region. The approval of the coat of arms was granted on January 18, 1973 by the district president in Hanover.

Blazon : "In blue a black shield base with two flattened, semicircular outgrowths ( barrows ), from which a rooted, silver oak with seven leaves grows ."

Foundation of the coat of arms: The historical facts since the early days show that the municipality of Nöpke belongs to the County of Wölpe, the obligation of the farmers to perform castle festival services and the delivery of half a tithe to the Wölpe office since 1595 - the other half went to the Minden monastery - so that the close ties of the ancestors to this sex and their successors is beyond doubt and at least decisive for the coat of arms colors blue: silver must be considered. The old age of the community is clearly indicated by two barrows shaded by a silver oak. With this coat of arms, the council of the municipality of Nöpke has decided on a municipal coat of arms that exhausts history from the early days to the present and characterizes the place, which fits well into the series of coats of arms of the city of Neustadt a. Rbge. belonging parts of the city.
