history

Obereinzingen was the collective name of a community in Ostheidmark in the old district of Fallingbostel . Many single farm settlements were typical in the Ostheidmark. They formed the community names under a collective term. Obereinzingen included u. a. Hanglüß, Steinbeck, Eggersglüß, Siemensglüß (farm and from 1889 also a match factory ), Ahl, Achterberg (estate and rest home) , Mackenthun, Auf dem Wittenberg, Kl. Bockel, Kämerhöfen, Köthnerhöfen and the Wehrhof. The community belonged to the parish of Dorfmark . The total size of the municipality was 1993 hectares . In the course of the establishment of the Bergen military training area , the resettlement of the population and the evacuation of the entire area took place from summer 1935 to May 1936. The farm owners were compensated, the buildings were mostly demolished.

Obereinzingen emerged together with Untereinzingen from the previous village of Einzingen , which originally consisted of the three farms Dammanshof, Cohrshof and Ehlershof (today Untereinzingen). Only after the Thirty Years War was it separated into the upper and lower peasantry. In the Hoyaer deed book there is an entry according to which already on February 10, 1344 a "courtyard too unique" existed. On January 21, 1736, the residents made a request, they wanted to have their own schoolmaster in town. Until then, the children had gone to school in Dorfmark and had a very long way to get there. The request was granted. Carsten Hormann is named as the first schoolmaster. In 1750 Wilhelm Buchhop came to the school as a teacher. There was no permanent school building of its own. Every year, lessons were held in one of the 28 full courtyards in the apartment . The teacher lived there too. He had his own room, his own bed, and free lunch. In 1821 there are 43 pupils listed. In 1854 the first school building was built. This had to be expanded in 1876 and rebuilt in 1902. In 1916, the highest number of students was recorded with 96 students. In 1922 a second classroom and an apartment for an "unmarried teacher" were built. The "heath poet" Heinrich Eggersglüß (1875–1932) attended this one-class school before he later went to school in Dorfmark.
