geography

View towards Saale and Kanstein (Thüster Berg)

Oldendorf lies within the Leinebergland in the far east of the Weserbergland Schaumburg-Hameln Nature Park and is framed by the Osterwald mountain ranges in the north, Külf in the southeast, Thüster Berg in the south and Ith in the west. The south-western Leine- tributary Saale flows through the village . In addition, the leads B 1 through the town. This corresponds to the course of the earlier Hellweg and the Heerstraße from Aachen to Königsberg .

history

middle Ages

Settlement of the place is assumed as early as the fifth century. First testimonies can be obtained from the elevation of the church “St. Nicolaus ”to the Archidiakonatskirche 815 by the diocese of Hildesheim . The construction of the church that still exists today began in the 12th century. The place was first mentioned in 1166 by Bishop Hermann von Hildesheim as Ahlendorp . In 1135 an Eilhard von Ahlendorp ( Eilhardus Oldendorpensis ) is mentioned as archdeacon.

The rule over the place was subject to occasional changes through the allocation of sub-vassals or sale or pledging of the fiefs. In addition, there were violent disputes over the assignment or surrender of rule. In 1068 the diocese of Hildesheim acquired rule over the entire Gau by donation and pledged or mortgaged the property several times.

As a result, the property fell to the Counts of Northeim until 1144, then to the Counts of Spiegelberg . Claims of the noble lords of Homburg to the Vogtei Lauenstein lead in 1228 to disputes with the Spiegelbergers, which are arbitrated by Friedrich II . As a result, the Homburgers received the rule, transferred it to the dukes of Braunschweig and received the fiefdom back. After the Homburgs died out in 1409, the Spiegelbergs raised claims, which resulted in a new feud. After the defeat of the Spiegelbergers, the Brunswick dukes pledged the bailiwick to the diocese of Hildesheim in 1433. The bishops now awarded the fiefdom one after another to several noble families, including the Bock von Nordholz and Heinrich von Saldern families .

Early modern age

Probably towards the end of the Middle Ages, the neighboring town of Balmissen was abandoned and its residents settle in Oldendorf. Conflicts such as the Spiegelberg feud 1432–1435, the Hildesheim collegiate feud 1519–1523 and the onset of the Little Ice Age are possible causes . The field name " Todtenacker " should go back to the submerged place.

Through the Hildesheim collegiate feud, the rule again passed to the dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and, after the Wolfenbüttel line died out, to the dukes of Calenberg. The administrative unit Amt Lauenstein was established.

The reformation of the parish takes place in 1543 by Anton Corvinus .

In the course of the Thirty Years' War in 1625 imperial troops under General Tilly marched through the village and destroyed the parish archives.

In 1630 the Protestant pastors were expelled, but in 1633 they were able to return.

The big bell of the church “St. Nicolaus ”was cast in 1649. From 1794 to 1901, the pastor of the Oldendorf community was also superintendent of the inspection of the same name.

When it was linked in 1858, there were 78 farm owners in Oldendorf. 2019 there are six agricultural enterprises in the town.

Industrialization to the present

Hellweg , which runs through the town as " Heerstraße " , is paved in 1815. The railway connection does not take place until 1875. The station is named after the neighboring village of Osterwald .

Some industrial settlements are favored by the transport links:

  • Inspired by the economic success of the Osterwalder Glashütte , the Reussesche Glashütte is founded in Sümpelbreite in 1852 . The later owner, Emil Boetticher, also bought the competitor from Osterwald and merged the two companies. Utility glasses are produced here until 1926.
  • In 1874 the Alves & Co. lime works was founded, which was incorporated into VOSKA in 1896 and closed in 1958.
  • Located directly on the railway, the sugar factory opened in 1875 and remained in operation until 1919.
  • In 1934, the Conrad Bock wood processing company opened on the site of the sugar factory. The site of the lime works, which was shut down in 1958, is bought. The company is closed in 1982.
  • A transshipment center for the Hagedorn forwarding company will be set up on part of the site.
  • On the southern outskirts, on the site of the former Schlüter furniture factory, the production facility of LOGOCOS Naturkosmetik AG is set up in 1988. In 2019, the company employed around 300 people.

With the annexation of Hanover by Prussia , the administrative affiliation of the place also changes. The district of Hameln is founded in 1885. Oldendorf existed here as an independent municipality until the territorial reform in 1973. Then it was incorporated into the community of Flecken Salzhemmendorf .

Culture and sights

St. Nicholas Church

The church building of St. Nicholas with its tower from the early 12th century is the oldest building in the village. The Romanesque church with a flat ceiling was built from hewn, partly clipped rubble stones. The middle part between the choir and the church tower was rebuilt in 1468 with a few Gothic style elements after a fire probably destroyed this part around 1430. The windows on the north and south sides were later replaced again in a baroque style. Unfortunately, the original design has not survived.

The interior was provided with a wooden gallery in 1591, on which the organ was placed around 1740. In the choir there is a high altar from around 1590. The pulpit, also made of wood, stands south of the altar.

The ringing consists of three bells. The oldest bell is one of the few remaining beehive-shaped bells, it was cast around 1150. The peace bell was cast in 1649, the youngest bell in 1966. The fourth, much smaller hour bell has no inscriptions indicating a production date. The three large bells hang in a common bell cage, the hour bell was installed in a separate room above.

The raised churchyard is separated by a wall, also made of cut stone. The archway made of several layers of elongated sandstone should be emphasized.

Flagstone fences

This type of enclosure consists of flat stone blocks (primarily sandstone), which, like a palisade, are partially buried and set up next to each other to form a wall. This type of construction is very rare in Lower Saxony.

To the south of the church in the streets Kirchweg and Schulstraße there are three such fences. The longest fence surrounding the parish garden was completely renovated in 1989.

Economy and Infrastructure

The village includes the Osterwald train station , a general practitioner, a dentist, a pharmacy, a supermarket, a reliable elementary school with all-day care, a kindergarten, a sports hall, a sports field, a car workshop with a petrol station, restaurants and construction companies. In addition, the St. Ansgar child and youth welfare of the diocese of Hildesheim runs a youth group in Oldendorf.
