history

The place was first mentioned in a deed of gift from King Henry III. to the Hilwartshausen monastery from 1046 mentioned in a document as a villa, quae dicitur Schitvn . The oldest part of the settlement was in the area of ​​Oberscheden and was a drubbel with around nine farms, which was probably not significantly expanded until the 14th century after several surrounding villages had fallen into desolation . Since the beginning of the 13th century, the name form has been Sceden , Scheden or Scheiden . A distinction between Oberscheden and Niederscheden has survived since the 14th century: 1317 Nederen Scheden , 1322 Superiori Scheden mentioned in writing in 1397 in the Low German form Oueren Scheden .

On the map of the Kurhannoverschen Landaufnahme from 1785 79 fireplaces are recorded for Niederscheden and 85 fireplaces for Oberscheden. The structure of a purely agrarian town only changed in 1852 with the construction of the railway line from Göttingen to Hann. Münden, part of the Hanover Southern Railway , which made it possible for industrial companies to settle.

On January 1, 1973, the communities of Dankelshausen and Meensen were incorporated.

Blazon : “Square with a blue heart shield, inside a gold (yellow) house brand in the form of an openwork triangle with a cross on top; 1 in gold (yellow) a continuous black cross, covered with three golden (yellow) clover stems; 2 and 3, a silver (white) oblique left-hand shaft bar in blue; 4 in gold (yellow) a four-ended black antler pole, the rungs of which end in six-pointed stars. "

The coat of arms was approved by the regional president in Hildesheim in 1973 . It shows elements from the coats of arms of the districts. The cross is borrowed from the local coat of arms of Dankelshausen. It records the ecclesiastical significance of the place as a parish center , the clover stalks symbolize the neighboring communities belonging to the parish. The antlers, an old Cheruscan sign with star tips, is a rare symbol in heraldry . It comes from the seal of Dietrich von Meensen from 1352. The silver wave bar symbolizes the Schede , a stream that flows through the district of Scheden; the blue areas stand for the former districts of Ober- and Niederscheden which merged in 1964 under the name Scheden. The heart shield is based on the old town coat of arms of Scheden. The golden house brand was once in the seal of Henning von Scheden, Schultheiss zu Münden .

St. Mark's Church

St. Mark's Church in Oberscheden

The Markuskirche in Oberscheden is also known as the "Schedener Dom". It is one of the largest village churches in southern Lower Saxony. About 450 visitors can be found in the hall church, built in the late Baroque style between 1742 and 1747 , which was built in a transverse orientation on the foundations of a previous building from the 16th century. The font , which is still preserved today, also dates from this time (1577) . In 1860–1861 the interior was redesigned in such a way that it now faces east. The church interior , which has since been designed in neo-Romanesque style, has a false apse with the altar . In addition to the crucifix and figures of the evangelists, it is decorated with two half-relief pictures . They show the adoration of Jesus by the Magi and his baptism by John . The pulpit towering on the left side of the room is adorned with figures of the authors of the New Testament epistles . The church was fundamentally renovated in 1984–1989 and received two new bronze bells to replace the steel bells that were introduced in 1949 instead of the bronze bells that were removed during World War II and that were placed in front of the church as a memorial.

The original parts of the organ from 1829 are the work of Johann Dietrich Kuhlmann from Gottsbüren . Originally it had 15 registers on a manual and pedal , but was changed by Carl Giesecke in 1860 , and a Rückpositiv was added in 1937 by Paul Ott . In 2011 the organ was restored and expanded with the help of donations from the organ building company Krawinkel from Trendelburg . Since then it has had 22 stops on two manuals and pedal.

It is open from April to October on Sundays from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. At these times, the church is also accessible outside of the services.

Desolation

Church ruins of the Wetenborn desert

About 1.5 km east of the village is the Wetenborn desert ( 51 ° 27 ′ 51 ″  N , 9 ° 45 ′ 31 ″  E ). From the village, which was abandoned at the turn of the 14th to the 15th century, remains of masonry of a pre-Romanesque church can still be seen. The east-facing building was only 10.80 × 7.00 meters in size and had a constricted rectangular choir. In the 1970s the ruin was discovered and the remains uncovered.
