history

Ohof was first mentioned in a document in the (Lüneburg) feudal register of Dukes Otto and Wilhelm No. 508 from 1360 . The change from Ohof to Mohoff must be documented

It was always a small place; in 1818 two Hofner and three Brinkitzer were named. The location on Heerstrasse halfway between the Guelph residences in Celle and Braunschweig was significant .

In 1678, after the introduction of the unified postal system in the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, the existing horse changing station was bought and expanded by the post office. In 1771 the post office was relocated to the neighboring Eltze, and in 1800, when Heerstraße was expanded as a road , it was relocated back to Ohof. In 1847 horse mail between Celle and Braunschweig was stopped.

On April 11, 1698, negotiations between Wolfenbüttel and Celle took place in Ohof, in which the aim was to dissuade Duke Anton Ulrich from his policy against the renewal of the Primogeniture Declaration and to an agreement between the warring lines Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel on the one hand and Celle and Hanover on the other get.

On the night of July 31st to August 1st, 1809 patrols of General Jean-Jacques Reubell were at Ohof.

In 1818 the coupling was completed.

The execution site near Ohof is a special case in the Lüneburg region. In total, almost 70 convicts were probably judged there. Between 1597 and 1617, 26 convicts came under the sword, by the rope or the wheel. In 1829 the last execution of the Meinersen office was carried out on the Galgenberg.

The construction of the Lehrte – Berlin railway line in 1870/71 was significant for the further development of the place . Meinersen train station was built in the Ohofer area, but about 1 km from the old village center . As a result, a settlement was built near the train station, partly on Ohofer, partly on Seershausen area.

Until 1885 Ohof belonged to the Gografschaft Edemissen of the Meinersen office , from 1885 to the newly formed district of Peine . In 1966 Ohof formed the municipality of Eltze with the villages of Dedenhausen , Wehnsen , Plockhorst, Eickenrode and Eltze.

On March 1, 1974, Ohof, until then a municipality in the district of Peine , was incorporated into the municipality of Meinersen as part of the regional reform in the state of Lower Saxony and thus added to the district of Gifhorn, the joint municipality of Eltze was thus dissolved.
