history

First use of the district

Neuhaus is a modern foundation. In this central location in Solling, only one place at the Ahle spring, where the Hethis monastery is suspected, is possible for a medieval settlement .

In the 16th century, Duke Erich I and his wife Elisabeth von Calenberg used a pasture with shepherds in the area for horses from their stud in Nienover . In the late 16th century, the sovereign laid out a cattle farm, grouped around a whey house, next to the pasture, immediately north of the Red Water , which later became the Vorwerk of the Allersheim office . In addition, Duke Heinrich Julius von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel built the New House in 1599 , the oldest of the actual hunting lodges of the Brunswick dukes. John crab recorded it in 1603 in his Solling card.

Since the Guelph divisions in 1635, the border between the Duchy of Braunschweig in the north-west and Kurhannover in the south-east ran roughly along the Holzminde and the Dölme . The border now lay between the hunting lodge and the stud. Two independent villages later developed on both sides of this border, both with the name Neuhaus.

Brunswick Neuhaus

In 1635 the Brunswick Duke August II got the north-western parcel with the hunting lodge built in 1599. A little later it was destroyed in the Thirty Years War . Only remnants remain of the extensive complex that was destroyed. They are part of the foundation walls of a listed house.

Around 1657 or soon afterwards it was rebuilt from half-timbered houses as the new house under Rudolf August . It was initially used for hunting and later as a whey house. After a period of little use, in which it was only used to store deer antlers, it came to the Kruger of the tenant of the Allersheim domain around 1755 .

After the Seven Years' War , in an area of ​​settlement expansion, in which Abbecke was later built , the Braunschweig minister referred in 1766 to the rumor that a village was planned on the Hanover side. In 1757, plans were drawn up from surveys to improve the use of the property beyond an all-local Vorwerk; It was now possible to fall back on these plans, so that a village could soon be established. Neuhaus in Braunschweig had belonged to the Holzminden district since 1833 .

Hannoversches Neuhaus

The older part of the Christ Church, built as a chapel around 1780

In 1635 Georg got the south-eastern parcel with the stud area. George was Duke of later in Hannover risen Principality of Calenberg .

The first half-timbered stud building was built on the pasture in 1712. In the 18th century it was called the New House , later the Old Stüterey. In order to enlarge the pasture, the tenant, the head of the Nienover office, set fire to the blueberry bushes surrounding it in 1740. Since he could not control the fire, the entire neighboring forest of the Moosberg and the Dasseler Mittelberg burned down. The Alte Stüterey was given up soon afterwards.

In 1760, on the Hanover side, the princely stud farm, which had been connected to the Nienover Castle and Office since the end of the Middle Ages, was relocated to Neuhaus. A stud building was rebuilt by 1774, which also included a chapel and an office building. It was called the New Stud or New House . The buildings were made of stone in the classicism style. A map of the stud farm from this period is kept in the British Museum .

The service building was until 1791 under Georg III. so expanded that it was later referred to as Neuhaus Castle . The famous white-born Isabella horses were also bred in the stud for use at Herrenhausen Palace until breeding was relocated there in 1844. In addition, there was a customs station in the place until the Customs Union in 1834 . With the entire Kingdom of Hanover, the Hanover Neuhaus 1866 fell to Prussia and was now on the Prussian province of Hanover , so that it then Prussian Neuhaus was called.

From 1868 the Neuhaus Vorwerk was assigned to the Remontedepot Hunnesrück , to which the Erichsburg and Relliehausen Vorwerk were already affiliated. Around 1920, the use of the Neuhaus stud was discontinued. Since then, the meadows have been used as summer pastures by Gut Relliehausen and Gestüt Hunnesrück . The stud building itself now houses an event hall and the tourist office under the name “Haus des Gastes”.

The Hanoverian Neuhaus belonged to the district of Uslar from 1885 to 1932 . This was incorporated into the Northeim district on October 1, 1932 , so that the village belonged to this district from then on.

20th century

In December 1910 Neuhaus in Braunschweig had 328 residents and Neuhaus in Hanover 171. In 1965 both had around 1500 inhabitants together. On May 20, 1956, there was a fire disaster in the Hotel Düsterdiek. Seven people were killed and 13 others were seriously injured in the half-timbered building.

In the 1960s and 1970s, tourism outstripped the timber industry in terms of economic importance and led to the construction of several hotels and guest houses. In 1965 the chapel was expanded into an angle church for the Evangelical Lutheran congregation . With effect from January 1, 1962, the three communities of Fohlenplacken, Neuhaus / Landkreis Holzminden and Preußisch Neuhaus / Landkreis Northeim were merged and assigned to the Holzminden district by a resolution of the Lower Saxony State Parliament. On January 1, 1973, the new community was incorporated into the district town of Holzminden.

On November 8, 1982, during a maneuver, a US F-4G Phantom II fighter plane crashed low in a wooded area just 150 meters near the primary school. The two pilots Colonel Gerald Raymond Linn and Captain Daniel K. Raichlen of the 52nd US Fighter Squadron were killed.

Neuhaus was a recognized climatic health resort from 1972 to the end of 2010 ; in 2012, construction measures were initiated to improve pedestrian traffic between the historic halves of the village and to facilitate access to the Neuhaus wildlife park.

coat of arms

The official description of the coat of arms of Neuhaus is in the application of the municipality of November 15, 1954 to the district president according to the city archive Holzminden B.4 No. 22: “The divided coat of arms shows a galloping silver horse above in black, below a diagonally placed red horse in silver Wiederkreuz with four similar and same-colored cross parts protruding from the edge of the shield. ”The crosses are taken from the Hackelbergstein. The explanation goes on: “Neuhaus is the center of the high Solling, and in this area the legend of the Wild Hunter Hackelberg is still alive today. Here is the ancient Hackelbergstein. Now the cross symbolism of this stone and Hackelberg's white steed have been adopted into the coat of arms. The white steed also points to the formerly so important royal stud in Neuhaus. "
