history

Nienhagen was incorporated into the newly formed community Leopoldshöhe on January 1, 1969 as part of the community reform.

For many years, the image of Nienhagen was shaped by the agricultural properties lined up on Bielefelder Strasse. It was not until the 1970s that the first contiguous settlement was created, mainly with the help of the VdK , in which more than half of all Nienhagen residents live.
