Rethen ( Leine ) is a district of the city of Laatzen in the Hanover region of Lower Saxony .
history
The name is probably derived from Middle Low German and means "Haus am Schilf ( Reet )" or "Schilfheim" ("Ret" = reed; "Hen" = home).
Rethen was first mentioned in a document by the Hildesheim Monastery on November 1, 1022. The first chapel of the Hildesheim diocese is documented for 1448.
In 1523, Rethen and the Koldingen office fell to the Duchy of Calenberg. In 1592 a school was set up in Rethen. The construction of the Hanover – Kassel railway line (commissioned in 1853) brought about a significant upswing, which was strengthened again from March 22, 1899 with the start of tram operations from Hanover to Hildesheim. The modern means of transport then promoted several industrial settlements, for example that of the sugar factory in 1876, which held national importance for a long time.
Up until the year 2000 there were allotment garden colonies on the outskirts of Galgenberg and at the end of Peiner Straße. These have now been displaced by large new development areas. Today modern suburban buildings dominate around the old village center.
Incorporations
In the course of the regional reform in Lower Saxony , which took place on March 1, 1974, the previously independent municipality of Rethen was incorporated into the city of Laatzen.

coat of arms
The design of the municipal coat of arms of Rethen comes from the heraldist and graphic artist Alfred Brecht , who designed all the coats of arms in the Hanover region. The approval of the coat of arms was granted on January 3, 1957 by the Lower Saxony Minister of the Interior .
|
|
Blazon : "The coat of arms bearsa left-facing , silver wavy band in the red shield , above it in the upper, right part a silver turnip with silver foliage, in the lower, left part a golden cogwheel ." |
| Justification of the coat of arms: The only basis for a community coat of arms was the unsatisfactory interpretation of the place name. Once local noble families died out early, their family coats of arms have not been passed down. Therefore, the council of the municipality decided to choose a coat of arms close to the present that corresponds to the importance of the municipality, which has healthy farms in the foothills of the state capital and since the sugar beet was grown in Lower Saxony has housed a sugar factory and other branches of industry that largely determine the local character . The symbols of the coat of arms have been chosen accordingly. The line flowing through the district and giving the place name the distinguishing addition appears as a silver wavy band, the beet as a symbol of the landscape, the golden cog indicates the industry of the place. |
