history

Rail transport

The Altenbeken - Höxter railway line opened by the Royal Westphalian Railway Company on October 1 , 1864 (October 10, 1865 continuously to Kreiensen ) initially passed Ottbergen for 13 years without a scheduled train stop in Nethedorf. Simultaneously with the commissioning of the Solling Railway on January 15, 1878, the first Ottberg train station and locomotive station was opened. By the end of 1879, the four-person roundhouse was too small and expanded to eight stalls. This is an indication of the real upswing that began in 1878 with the opening of the Solling Railway Ottbergen - Bodenfelde - Northeim and on to Nordhausen . The increase in rail traffic between the metropolitan areas on the Ruhr in the west and Nordhausen / Halle / Leipzig in the east in the 1930s required a constant expansion of the depot . The class 44 locomotives were to be characteristic for freight traffic from the Weser Uplands to the Harz Mountains until the 1970s. On May 29, 1976, with the closure of the Ottbergen depot, steam locomotive operations ended.

20th century

During the Second World War , parts of the 3rd US Armored Division attacked the place. Due to strong resistance u. a. the place was exposed to artillery fire by a VI Tiger armored car at the level crossing. The citizen Josef Knipping went towards the US troops in the direction of Hembsen and on his return the US troops were able to take the place on April 6, 1945 without a fight.

On January 1, 1970 Ottbergen was incorporated into the district town of Höxter.

After the division of Germany, the flow of traffic shifted more in a north-south direction, so that the railway lines lost their importance over the decades. The former double-track main line, now known as the Egge-Bahn , has been partially dismantled to single-track operation.

In 1693, the church was first restored on the instructions of the Corveyer Abbots Christoph von Bellinghausen and the Prince Abbot Florence von dem Felde. In 1853 lightning struck the church tower, so that a new tower was built from 1856 to 1858.
