history

First mention

Hanstedts first mention was dated differently. The years 850, 1070, 1155 and 1252 were in the room, whereby only the latter year number can be regarded as reliable information. It is based on "Certificate No. 433 of the Verden Document Book", in which "Honstede" and other places of the Villication "Saltzenhusen" are listed in the register of the minor tithe . The name is made up of an earlier form of Old Saxon hoh (high) and the suffix -stedt , which is widespread in the settlement area of ​​the Old Saxons . The meaning is about high settlement . The pre- Old High German variant of hoch namely * hauh, Germanic * hauhaz is reflected in the a-stem vowel.

politics

Municipal council

Due to the number of inhabitants, the Hanstedt municipal council has 17 council seats according to the NKomVG ( Lower Saxony Municipal Constitutional Law). Nevertheless, the Hanstedt municipal council only started with 15 council members in 2011, because both the SPD and the Green council members could not be filled from the list. Shortly after the beginning of the council period, the individual applicant Riebesehl died unexpectedly, so that in 2013ff only 14 council members steered the fate of the community. Since the local election on September 11, 2016 , the local council has again consisted of 17 people. It was constituted on November 28, 2016 and is composed as follows:

Structure and motives

Blazon : “Shield in silver and green split over a red shield base . Above right a red windmill, on the left a silver half-man with a beard, who holds a stone in both hands on the left. A silver wave brook in the base of the shield. "

The coat of arms motifs in a historical and geographical context

The windmill

The depicted "historical" windmill from Hanstedter no longer exists today. It was built in 1892 and caught fire on June 9, 1951 for an unknown cause. It was later converted into a residential building. The former outskirts of the building on a hill east of the Schmalen Aue is now hardly recognizable due to the residential development in the adjacent fields in the east of Hanstedts over the past few decades. However, it is not only the street name Mühlenweg that reminds of the former Hanstedter windmill in addition to the Hanstedter coat of arms, but also the name of the adjacent building area: Mühlenberg .

The giant Bruns

The legend of the giant Bruns

The man depicted on the coat of arms is the giant Bruns or "Brunse", according to the legend of anger first published in 1836 by the pastor's daughter Charlotte Kregel in poetry in the Hanstedter Gemeindeblatt under the title "The Riese Bruns von Hanstedt" the loss of his daughter in the course of Christianization throws a huge boulder at the first Hanstedter church with a sling in order to destroy it - which, according to the "Christian priests modified [n] [...] legend", fails and ultimately leads to a conversion of the Riesen and his wife to Christianity through the bishop Ansgar and their baptism in the Schmalen Aue . This act of revenge was preceded by the suicide of the giant's daughter, who served as a priestess and drude of the "goddess Holda ( Frau Holle )" and was considered to be the "guardian spirit and friendly helper of the children". She could not get over to watch the felling of the oak tree , consecrated to her own (and from a Christian point of view, pagan ) gods in a holy grove , which was used to build the wooden church tower of the first church in Hanstedter, and she has herself how In the version of the legend recorded by Heinrich Schulz from the mouth of the giant who lamented the loss of his daughter and was looking for revenge, it continued, "after eighteen long weeks, which tormented her in grave pain," death.

In 2006 Hanstedter firefighters Book 1906-2006 set out in the shortened text version of Sage comes tragedy of Suizides the giant's daughter as a motive of the giant for his attack on the Hanstedter church and the new faith that has driven his daughter to suicide, no longer in front:

“When the Hanstedter got a church, all the people in the parish were baptized. Only one stood apart and didn't want to know anything about the Church or the Holy Scriptures . It was the violent giant Bruns who lived with his wife and daughter on the Brunsberg near Nindorf.

In his anger the giant tried to throw a large rock at Hanstedt and its church. "

- Local fire brigade Hanstedt within the volunteer fire brigade Samtgemeinde Hanstedt

Here, too, the legend ends, in which the giants no longer have their "dwelling" "in the thicket of the Garlstorf primeval forest", but already live in the place that is only named after the giant, when Bishop Ansgar was converted. Only in this version the entire “giant family” can be baptized. However, while the crime of the giant, who is characterized in the actual version of the legend as a "zealot for the faith of the fathers", thus finds a double motive in the loss of his faith and his daughter suffered by the act of Christianization , the giant appears Bruns in the newer version is simply a violent giant who refuses Christianity - almost without reason. The underlying conflict between the old and the new religion, which radically changes the life of the giant family, is completely left out, and the storyline of the saga is ultimately cut in such a way that it no longer contains any indication that the advance of Christianity is also producing losers - even though these losers (as in the figure of the giant daughter) represent the good .

Primeval and historical references to the saga

Ehrich Reins ties in his monograph The Undeloher village book up to the mid-19th century living legend of the giants "Brunse" to a 1910 destroyed passage grave dating from around 2000 -3000 v. BC, which was located on the northern slope of the Nindorfer Brunsberg, named after the giant, and which is precisely described in its dimensions in the version of the legend published by Heinrich Schulz in 1933 as the grave of the giant and his wife (and according to the real conditions, if this description is similar to that of the pastor's daughter Kregel) - after the baptism of the giant couple, who had never left their native forest, had this form of burial for themselves "[commanded] the people in the valley". This passage grave actually comes from the large stone burial people who settled east of the Schmalen Aue in the Neolithic Age . “The people inferred from the size of the tomb that it was a giant.” For Reins, the Hanstedt community “kept the memory of Brunse, who was probably the last leader of the megalithic burial men, alive with a portrait in their community coat of arms”, even if the historical core of it associated legend of the giant Bruns through the topic of Christianization and the reference to the bishop Ansgar temporally at least more than 2000-3000 years later. Due to the topic of church construction in the course of Christianization , the saga can be classified as a historical saga on the one hand , and as an etiological saga on the other hand, through the popular explanation of the origin of the Neolithic passage grave as the grave of the giant and his giant wife . Even when the saga was first published in 1836, however, "the old tradition had been suppressed", because the pastor's daughter Kregel had "invented the fairy tale of Brunse's conversion [...] through Ansgar and brought both together in her naivety". The spread of the legend “without any examination of the actual facts” since its first publication, which Reins complained about in this context, thus also applies to the version published by Heinrich Schulz in 1933, while the version by Wilhelm Marquardt from 1963, linguistically revised, re-published in Year 2001 - as well as the version printed in the Hanstedter Fire Brigade Book 1906-2006 in 2006 , which is currently to be regarded as the preliminary end point of the change in the legend of the giant Bruns .

The giant Bruns in other legends

In a collection of regional sagas, fairy tales and anecdotes there is another, albeit only brief, mention of the giant Bruns : In the story consisting of individual episodes “From the Heidenstein, Teufelsstein, Hexenstein, and Blutstein to the Jesteburg rune stone”, in which the Jesteburg rune stone as the first-person narrator of his “life story”, which gives him a new name in each episode, it is the giant Bruns , who in the first episode with this stone hurled from the Hanstedter mountains south-west of the town center to his rival neighbor in the Lohbergen want to hit the head. The stone, which once grew up in Scandinavia and which has been lying in the Hanstedter Mountains for "about two hundred thousand years" , has - when it arrives in the Lohbergen - the name Heidenstein because it is danced around there "in pagan times" and because there is a " Winter solstice " is "always a big fire" made for him. In this short, first episode of the life story of the Jesteburg rune stone , the giant Bruns, in contrast to the actual legend, acts before Christianization, but is depicted as violently as in the more recent version of the legend during Christianization, which is printed in the Hanstedter Fire Brigade Book 1906-2006 . As a stone-throwing giant , the figure of the giant Bruns corresponds to a topos that is widespread in legends . So acts z. B. also the legend "The Giants from Riepshöfer Berg" of two giants who want to "throw a big chunk of stone out of the heather with a sling at the Jesteburg church", however: Their sling breaks - just like that of the giant Bruns during his attack to the Hansteder Church.

The giant Bruns and the mountains of the same name

The legendary figure Riese Bruns is the name giver for the Nindorfer Brunsberg, which lies northeast of the Hanstedter district of Nindorf , through its characteristic as a coat of arms motif of the municipality of Hanstedt . It is true that there is another mountain of the same name in the Lohberge beyond today's Hanstedt municipality , into which the giant is said to have thrown the stone that has become Heidenstein : the Brunsberg in the northern part of the Lohberge , the summit of which is about 1.8 km southeast of the village church of Sprötze is located. However, the name of the mountain near Sprötze is traced back to another incident, the tragic protagonist of which is a young shepherd named "Bruns", who died on the Brunsberg.

The wave stream

The wave creek shown is the Schmale Aue , a small river that flows through Hanstedt from south to north and which flows into the Seeve between Jesteburg and Marxen .

The coat of arms in the Hanstedter townscape

Bronze sculpture of the giant Bruns on Hanstedter Platz

The coat of arms motifs Riese Bruns , Windmühle and Schmale Aue have been incorporated into the design of Hanstedter Platz, built in 1984 on the southwest corner of the churchyard:

• the giant Bruns in the form of a bronze sculpture depicting him by the sculptor Max Schegulla , which raises a large stone with arms outstretched over the head to throw it. With reference to the stone throw handed down in the legend to the first church built in Hanstedt, it can be stated that the location and orientation of the sculpture are not based on the legend: The direction in which the giant passed the stone past the current church, which was newly built in 1882 threatens to throw, roughly points to the Brunsberg, located southeast of Hanstedt, in the exact direction from which the giant Bruns is said to have thrown the stone at the church building at that time. A completely absurd interpretation against the background of the conception of Hanstedter Platz , on the other hand, is found by the authors of the above-mentioned collection of regional legends, fairy tales and anecdotes: According to Walter and Wilhelm Marquardt, the sculpture shows the giants as he “took the Heidenstein from Hanstedt into the Lohberge “fling. Both the representation of the giant in the form of plastic and that on the municipal coat of arms are merely a stylized representation of the giant's crime. The giant's tool, i.e. the slingshot, which breaks in the execution of the giant's plan of revenge and which thus becomes the actual cause of the failure of the intended destruction of the Hanstedter church, is left out.
• the windmill "in the form of mill wings paved in brick";
• the narrow meadow through the fountain in the center of the square.

In the center of the village, a bridge leads the L 213 or Winsener Straße over the Schmale Aue and limits it to the east. The meadows on the river banks are striking.

Community partnerships

Hanstedt's partner municipality is the Hungarian municipality of Zomba . The partnership has existed since 2004.

Economy and Infrastructure

economy

The community of Hanstedt is characterized by many medium-sized businesses in the fields of handicrafts, tourism, gastronomy and services. The Auepark industrial area is the seat of the building yard of the joint municipality, the recycling yard of the Harburg district and various commercial and craft businesses, e.g. B. carpentry, plumbing, car repair shops, and much more

Local recreation and tourism: sights

Heather and forest

Local recreation plays a major role in Hanstedt with the heather on the Töps or the mixed forests around the place. The heath area Auf dem Töps , located in the west-southwest direction of the Hanstedter town center, is part of the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve as well as the forest area Hanstedter Berge in the south-southwest direction . South of the Töps run the three different long routes of the Hanstedter Wald- und Kulturpfad , which - on its longest circular route of approx. 4 km length - includes 16 stations and provides insights into the peculiarities of nature and landscape as well as human interventions. The starting point is not far from the Jahresbaumallee (at the toboggan run), which was donated by the Hanstedt hunting association and in which the trees of the year from 1989 onwards have been planted. The longest circular route also leads past another attraction: the Hextentanzplatz on the Faßenberg, which takes its name from the vernacular and with which the "gymnastics and free-body activities" of those townspeople, which seemed suspicious to the Hanstedtern, were referred to. Century moved to the country to Hanstedt.

Forest swimming pool, equestrian sport and wildlife park

The forest pool near the Hanstedter Berge and diverse equestrian-related activities shape the character of the village. A particular attraction is the Lüneburg Heath Wildlife Park , which attracts more than 200,000 visitors to the region every year. The owner-managed zoo shows a wide range of native animal species in their natural habitat and also houses a falconry and a shepherd's village with various overnight accommodations. In 2019, the "Heidehimmel" - a barrier-free forest treetop path with an observation tower, which allows a fantastic view of the Hamburg harbor, opened right next to the wildlife park.

Natural and cultural monuments

Natural monument ND WL 00005 near Nindorf: English oak and red fir, called married couple

Of the two natural monuments located in the municipality, only the one still exists that also shows the coat of arms of the district of Nindorf am Walde : pedunculate oak and red fir that have grown together (number of the natural monument: ND WL 00005 ). The other, a juniper near the forest pool on the former Uhlenbusch site (number of the natural monument: ND WL 00004 ), was destroyed at an unknown time (for the exact location, see the list of natural monuments in the Harburg district ).

As today listed cultural monuments ( small monuments ) there are historical boundary stones from the 18th century in the area of ​​the municipality of Hanstedt. The petrified borders that were then located in the administrative area of ​​the Winsen Office are related to the forestry reforms in the then Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and were established under Georg II (German Elector and King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1727-1760) and later under his successor Georg III . (German Elector from 1760 to the Congress of Vienna in 1814; then King of Hanover until his death in 1820; King of Great Britain and Ireland from 1760 to 1801; after that until his death King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ) to identify sovereign forest ownership and thus set to mark forest boundaries (see: Historical boundary stones in the beginning of Gellers for more detailed historical backgrounds). The following are to be mentioned:

• the 15 historical boundary stones, which are not accessible due to their location in the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve , but are partially visible from the network of paths, north of the western extension of the road in front of the mountains at the foot of the wooded Hanstedter mountains . According to Carsten Päper, who mapped these and other forest landmarks in the Harburg district in the mid-1980s , no recession is known about this demarcation. The obvious peculiarity of this stone setting is the relatively small area enclosed by the stones, which today is not only mainly grassland surrounded by forest, but also sheet 71 of the Kurhannoverschen Landesaufnahme , taken between 1764 and 1784, shows this. The enclosed area has thus been separated from the surrounding royal forest by the stone forest boundary. The row of stones numbered with Arabic numerals starts at the southeastern stone with the number “1” and runs clockwise to the last stone in the row with the number “15”;
• three of the historic boundary stones in the Toppenstedter Wald in today's Garlstorfer Wald landscape protection area and the wider area surrounding the western border section; the other stones of this counter-clockwise, ring-shaped forest boundary are in the area of ​​the municipality of Toppenstedt. The basic recess for this demarcation dates from 1754 and also touches the historical boundary stones in today's Garlstorfer Wald . - In the 18th century, today's Toppenstedter Forest was also part of what was then the Garlstorfer Forest , the extent of which to the north at the beginning of the 18th century still exceeded today's Toppenstedter Wald ;
• several of the historical boundary stones in today's Garlstorfer Wald , belonging to the western (southeast of Nindorf) and northern part (south of the L 216, along the Fastweg going south from the L 216 ) of the longest, ring-shaped border in the former Garlstorfer Wald , the " probably the most extensive and most important forest area that the 'most gracious rule' has requisitioned ”.

St. Jakobi Church

St. Jakobi Church in Hanstedt (Nordheide) - view from the northwest

The townscape in the center of the village is shaped by the churchyard bordering Hanstedter Platz to the north with the Evangelical Lutheran St. Jakobi Church built in 1882 . It is the second known church building in Hanstedt since the independent church was founded in 1371. The previous church, demolished in 1882, of which it is not known when it was built, was a field stone church with a separate bell tower made of wood and which, with dimensions of around 20 m in length and 9 m in width, offered space for around 100 people. The current church, on the other hand, is a “ single - nave neo-Gothic brick church with a nave and a transept”, which can accommodate around 600 people. Its church tower is 36 m high and can be seen from afar.

traffic

It is about seven kilometers to the A 7 motorway .

Hanstedt can be easily reached by bus and train. From Hamburg main station the metronome (RE 4, RB 41) runs twice an hour to Buchholz in approx. 20 minutes, from there bus line 4207 every hour from the station forecourt in approx. 25 minutes to Hanstedt church. The connection between train and bus is well coordinated. Hanstedt itself does not have a railway connection. After the closure of the Buchholz – Lüneburg line and the nearby Brackel (b Lüneburg) stop (seven kilometers) in 1981, Büsenbachtal (eleven kilometers) on the so-called " Heidebahn " is now the closest stop . However, many residents of Hansted use the short connection (15 kilometers) to the Buchholz (Nordheide) train station , as there is much better access to trains, especially towards Hamburg. Rail travelers who take the bus to Hanstedt usually use the Hamburg-Harburg train station . The joint municipality of Hanstedt is completely within the range of the Hamburg Transport Association .

Lüneburg can be reached directly two to three times a day with the 5200 line of the Hamburg transport association.

Since December 2014 there has been a call and collect taxi (AST) in the joint community of Hanstedt. It complements regional bus services and can be ordered according to a fixed timetable.

In the summer months, a so-called Heideshuttle (BUS with bicycle trailer) runs regularly, which brings nature lovers and bicycles to the interesting points around Hanstedt free of charge.

Public facilities

In the center of Hanstedts - opposite the St. Jakobi Church - the "Bökerstuuv" has its seat; the new library opened by the local community foundation. Here you can read in a quiet atmosphere and of course books can be borrowed. Readings are offered every now and then. The "Bökerstuuv" is housed in the municipality's own "Küsterhaus". The sexton's house also offers space for private and public events, the tourism and trade association and a branch of the adult education center.

The center of the village is completed by the "Alte Geidenhof". The music school of the Hanstedt municipality is at home here, as is a kindergarten. A hall is available for larger events in the cultural field and for council meetings. A youth club has been set up in the Remise of the Alte Geidenhof.

The town hall of the integrated community is the contact point for all authority-related matters, although some matters (e.g. vehicle registrations) have to be dealt with in the next larger medium-sized centers of Winsen, Buchholz and Hittfeld.

education

Hanstedt has a school center with a primary school and an adjacent secondary school (formerly Hauptschule and Realschule) for grades 5–10.

The DRK Hanstedt operates two crèches and two kindergartens in the core town of Hanstedt, so that children from 1 to 6 years can always find a good place to go.

Afternoon care has been set up in the primary and secondary schools in Hanstedt - an open all-day school is in preparation.

The music school Hanstedt teaches with z. Currently about 20 teachers, almost 600 students in all parts of the municipality.

The art house Seelenmeyer on Ollsener Straße in Hanstedt trains young (and old) artists.

Art and literature

The painter Henry Gundlach, born in South Africa in 1884, lived in Hanstedt from 1939 until his death in 1964 and became known as a heather painter. Some of his works can be seen in private ownership (e.g. in the Hotel Sellhorn and in the Heidepeter restaurant) in Hanstedt. The path to Töpsheide was named after him.

The painter and sculptor Max Schegulla from neighboring Dierkshausen is present in many parts of the village. He created the giant Bruns in the center of the village, the goat for the elementary school and the ram in front of the town hall. A wooden relief with the baptism of Jesus can be seen in the St. Jakobi Church in Hanstedter.

The contemporary author Claus-Peter Lieckfeld was born in Hanstedt and still has a second home here.
