Obernjesa with the two silos of the sugar factory

Obernjesa is a village in the municipality of Rosdorf in the district of Göttingen . The “landmarks” of this place that can be seen from afar are two large sugar silos that are no longer in operation.

Obernjesa is on the Göttingen - Friedland - Eichenberg - Hann railway line . Münden - Kassel about seven kilometers south of Göttingen and has been part of the community of Rosdorf since 1973 due to the regional and administrative reform in Lower Saxony. The place is on the Dramme , which flows into the Leine a little later . Obernjesa has about 1000 inhabitants and is the second largest town in the municipality after Rosdorf.

history

The Obernjesa funeral hut, excavated in 1989, is a collective grave in the typical wood and broken rock construction of the late Neolithic. The first mention of the place Jesa (which probably means "water") comes from 1013. Until the 13th century this was the common name. The settlement of the area is much older, however, a tumulus found nearby testifies that people lived on this section of the Dramme or on the Jägerberg 500 m to the west as early as the Stone Age. During an excavation in 1989, a collective grave from the Neolithic Age (around 3000 BC) was also uncovered. The first written mention of the name Obernjesas comes from the year 1278 AD, in which the foundation of a church is documented. The Marienkirche is still there today, but has been redesigned several times and finally received a baroque facade. In the heyday of the city of Göttingen in the 14th century, the town came under the influence of the city, which however disappeared again due to the consequences of the Thirty Years War , because the region could only recover with difficulty.

During the rule of Napoleon (1806-1814) Obernjesa belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia and was administered according to the French model.

On January 1, 1973 Obernjesa was incorporated into the municipality of Rosdorf.

Because of the particularly fertile soil around Obernjesa, large estates were built early on, which concentrated on the cultivation of sugar beet and merged in 1880 to set up a sugar beet factory on a cooperative basis. This remained independent until 1971, only then did it join the Süddeutsche Zuckerfabrik Franken GmbH and was closed in 1977.

The project of a bioenergy farm has existed since 2002.

coat of arms

The blazon reads: In the shield of yellow (gold) and red a curved blue tip. In front a red, blue armored and tongued lion, in the back a yellow (golden) arrow pointing upwards, at the bottom a pointed, white cone (sugar loaf), rounded at the top and wrapped with a red ribbon.

Reason: The Braunschweig lion gives an indication of the medieval ownership structure in the village ( Duchess Elisabeth ). The arrow from the coat of arms of those of Roringen indicates that this family held the patronage of the church in Obernjesa in the Middle Ages. The sugar loaf in the blue tip is reminiscent of the Obernjesa sugar factory, which ceased operations a few years ago.
