Location of the municipality of Radbruch in the Lüneburg district | ||
Radbruch is a municipality in the district of Lüneburg in Lower Saxony . It has a good 2200 inhabitants, a size of 22.54 km² and is part of the Bardowick municipality .
history
A first mention of the place is in 1252 in the document book of the Verden cathedral chapter as "Rotersbrug". From the delivery of the so-called lard tenth, it can be concluded that it is primarily used for forestry and agriculture. There is no evidence of permanent extensive settlement activity for the time being.
Another documented reference to the place name is contained in the chronicle Memorabilia Historiae Luneburgicae from 1269. The "Radebrokii" appearing in it are likely to have been located in the Radbruch area. The ancestral seat of the Radbruch family may have been fortified at the beginning of the 15th century. In the years 1450 and 1451 a Meyerhof belonging to the Pattensen Bailiwick was mentioned. In the 16th century, the Radbruch Bailiwick was created as a special property within the Bardowick Bailiwick . This was the administrative seat of the Guelph possessions in this area.
The mapping of the cartographer Mellinger from 1592 shows "Raarbroock" as an extensive forest and swamp area.
The atlas sheet Ducatus Luneburgensis. Adiacentiumq. regionum delineatio (1645) by Willem Janszoon Blaeu shows a forest called "Raarbroeck" in the region. Since Broeck or Brook denote marshland, it should have been quarry forest. The iron-rich water of the Bruchwald lowlands often has a red color, hence, according to the assumption, the name red break (see also Roddau - red floodplain), later then Radbruch. If the raar is of Latin origin, this would be an indication of a very loose, scattered tree population. The more widespread cycling or cycling indicates, however, more of a clearing.
In the Kurhannoverschen Landesaufnahme , sheet 67 “Winsen / Luhe”, recorded in 1776, there is a “Meierhoff” as “Königigl. Stutery ”. The corridor adjacent to the north is referred to as "the Ratth Bruch".
In 1885 Radbruch became a member of the Winsen / Luhe district and thus in 1932 an independent municipality in the Harburg district . In 1974 it became a member of the combined community of Bardowick and the district of Lüneburg through the municipal reform .
The modern development of the settlement began only after the departure of the Hanoverian horse stud in 1778. The farmsteads that were created with the coupling of 1779 can still be seen today in the village. The village became famous in the 19th century through the shepherd Heinrich Ast. He came to the Ahlers farm in 1873, later became a fisherman and made a name for himself as a healer. In 1894 he treated up to 1000 patients a day in Radbruch. This was made possible by the Hanover-Harburg railway line opened in 1848. Not only the patients benefited from Ast's work. In the village there were a number of inns and restaurants, the farmers offered a carriage service from the train station to the Ast'schen estate in today's Bardowicker Strasse. Schäfer Ast died in 1921. The practice continued until the 1990s. Some of Ast's remedies are still available in the Winsener Ratsapotheke.
