history
Together with her husband, Duchess Agnes von Landsberg († 1266) founded a Cistercian monastery in 1227 in the woods on the Aue, a tributary of the Fuhse, south of the village. When the mosquito plague in the swampy forests of the floodplains made it impossible for the nuns to stay in the monastery, they moved it to Wienhausen an der Aller in 1231 . She took the nuns in for six months until the new monastery was completed.
In line with the colonization efforts of the Cistercian order, the Duchess released the forest near the abandoned monastery to cultivation and thus founded the village of Nienhagen.
A volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1933.
The districts Papenhorst and Nienhorst belong to the municipality of Nienhagen. In the Papenhorst district, at least 30 children of forced laborers were killed in the Papenhorst children's camp between September 1944 and the end of the war. There is a memorial for 22 of the victims in the Nienhäger cemetery. In the more recent past Nienhagen came to prosperity through abundant oil deposits.
A Heimatverein has existed in Nienhagen since 1985 which organizes exhibitions and walks and issues its own publications.
oil
In 1889, oil was first discovered in the municipality through deep drilling . At the end of the 1920s , drilling pioneer Anton Raky from Salzgitter founded the Nienhagen union . In 1931 he sold most of his company to Wintershall . The Raky-Wintershall consortium was created . On February 15, 1935, Wintershall took over the remaining shares in his union from Raky. The company was now called Wintershall AG Erdölwerke Nienhagen .
Raky had started various successful wells since 1930, partly in the floodplain of the floodplain. The material for erecting the Aue 1 derrick had to be carried over the dammed floodplain on a raft. The Aue 1 well was the deepest well in Germany at a depth of 1322 m in 1931 and produced oil from 1932 to 1937. The developed oil field near Nienhagen was very productive. In the first year, 2324 t were extracted. The bore N (Nienhagen) 14 supported from 1933 to 1993 to its backfilling 101,585 tons of oil, mainly in the deep well pump operation .
In hole N 22 at the Langerbein road on September 29, 1934, the largest ever broke oil fire in Germany, the flames should be to have meters to 50th Numerous workers were seriously injured, six died in accidents.
Another oil company was the Elwerath union .
In Nienhagen more than 1000 drilling for oil took place, more than 300 winding towers were built. Crude oil is still extracted today.
Wintershall AG premises
In 1930 Anton Raky rented some office space in the castle and manor of the Baron von Campe . He later bought the building and surrounding land for his business. Wintershall took over the complex in 1935.
During the Second World War, the company was repeatedly targeted by air raids; In 1940 one of the two 15,000 cubic meter oil tanks in Nienhagen was destroyed, and on April 8, 1945 the castle was badly damaged and therefore later demolished. Wintershall continued to maintain its premises in Nienhagen after the war.
Today the Herzogin-Agnes-Platz and a senior citizens' residence are located here .
