geography
location
Salzhausen is located on the northeast edge of the Lüneburg Heath nature reserve and in the southeast of the Harburg district on the border with the Lüneburg district . The place lies in the glacial moraine landscape, the Hohe Geest . The German Alps – Baltic Sea holiday route runs through the town .
Community structure
The districts of the municipality of Salzhausen are:
history
In the Salzhausen district of Putensen there are two historical Putensen burial grounds , which date from around 450 BC. To be dated. The oldest settlements can be traced back to Saxon buildings around 400 AD, Salzhausen was first mentioned in a document in 1057.
The name of Salzhausen changed in later mentions of Solthinghusen via Soltzeneshusen and Soltzhusen (around 1582) to today's Salzhausen.
In 1643 the Romanesque St. John's Church was built from field stones with a half-timbered back, the round tower dating from 1464. A bronze baptismal font from 1403 has been preserved and can be viewed.
Due to the spatial unity of church, court and administration, Salzhausen developed into a central location. In the course of a regional reform, Salzhausen became the seat of an office in 1852. The representative office building, which is adorned with the coat of arms of King George V (Hanover) , was only used for seven years. After it had long served as a justice of the peace and police station ( Landdragoner ), the only cooperative hospital in Germany, which no longer exists, was established in 1907.
In the years after the Second World War, Salzhausen mastered the refugee problem with the integration of 708 displaced persons and 104 refugees from the Soviet occupation zone (later GDR ) with only 1015 inhabitants.
In 1972, 13 formerly independent villages were finally merged to form the joint municipality of Salzhausen ( administrative and territorial reform ). Little consideration was given to old historical concerns. Previously independent villages with less than 500 inhabitants were connected to other larger communities.
Incorporations
On July 1, 1972, the communities Luhmühlen, Oelstorf and Putensen were incorporated.
Culture and sights
building
Fire department hose tower
The fire brigade hose tower and the Sprüttenhus (spray house) next to it were built in 1870/80. The hose tower was used by the fire brigade to dry their water hoses made of linen. They hung them over wooden beams in the top of the tower and let them dry for days in the narrow shaft. In the neighboring building, the syringe house, was the hand pressure syringe, which was brought to the scene by horses.
The three oldest houses
- The Josthof was built in 1252. It was destroyed by fire in April 2017. The lord of the Josthof was the Bishop of Verden , who was entitled to the delivery of fresh trout from the Luhe to the farm - his table goods . The Josthof was named after Jost Helmeke , who was born in the March in 1595 . He was married to the niece of the courtier Witte , who had been running the farm until then. In 1699 Claus Harms applied for the concession for the third Dorfkrug (inn) in Salzhausen. When the license was granted, there was a questionnaire in the village, which found that two village jugs were enough for the 250 people and 27 houses in the village. Claus Harms prevailed against this rejection with his apparently better relations with the responsible office in Winsen.
- The oldest Benthacken house was built around 1220. It used to be in Lindenberg Street, but in 1915 it was moved to Lüneburger Strasse (house number 1), where it still stands today.
- Like the Josthof, the Helpen farm was built in 1252 by the Bishop of Verden . This house can be seen as the residential building Im Winkel 6.
The Dbodschün
In the middle of the village behind the church is the Dbodschün ( Low German for village barn), which was built in 1778. It belonged to a Heidehof that still exists today. However, since 1983 this barn has been used for private and cultural purposes.
House of the guest
The library used to be in today's guest house before it moved into a new building at the school center. The house belonged to Gerhard Denckmann, who bequeathed it to the community along with his remaining assets and which flowed into the Dr. Gerhard Denckmann Foundation. Today the house houses his book collection, offers reading rooms and changing exhibitions.
Churches and other structures
- St. Johannis the Baptist Church in Salzhausen with stained glass by Charles Crodel , 1967
- New Apostolic Church on Paaschberg
- Amtshaus (today a cooperative hospital in Germany)
- Lookout tower on the Paaschberg
Parks and recreation
- The Paaschberg (Paschberg) ( ⊙ ) is a 67 m high hill, which is around 500 m (as the crow flies ) southeast of the center and surrounded by houses in the village. According to legend, the elevation arose from the fact that a Roman general cursed God, who then conjured up a sandstorm and buried the general along with a golden carriage and six horses. During the construction of the primary school at the southeast foot of the hill in 1950, a candlestick was actually found as an addition to a Roman warrior's grave, which was dated to 100 AD and possibly founded the legend. During the Second World War , a bunker was built in the elevation, which was in operation from 1939 to 1945. Between 1960 and 1980 this was used as a water reservoir, so that old water fittings can be found in the bunker. The bunker consists of two floors, of which the upper one was subsequently reduced so that only the front part, where the entrance to the basement is located, is accessible. Today it is empty, the entrance is permanently locked, but the air pipes for the oxygen supply are still visible! On the wooded summit, directly above the bunker, there is already the second wooden observation tower with 85 steps. From the village center you have to walk around ten minutes to the summit. The path is designed as a sculpture path on the hill.
- The Gallaberg is an elevation and site of a medieval execution site.
- There is a landscape protection area between Salzhausen and Garstedt .

Economy and Infrastructure
Economic development in the 20th century
In the period from 1950 to 1960 a lot changed in Salzhausen's economy. There were five brick factories until the mid-1960s. In addition, around 1912, Salzhausen had the largest trout farm in Europe. This had three long ponds and several small ponds in order to work as effectively as possible. One of the long ponds is still in commercial operation today, and many of the small ponds are used for fishing.
Another large company was the Hohe Geest Milchverwendungsgenossenschaft , which was founded in 1929 and later renamed the Hohe Geest dairy cooperative by Kurt Jagau . After a good start in the economy, the dairy developed very well until it finally merged with the dairy from Kirchgellersen in 1953 . Twelve years after the expansion from 1958 to 1960, the dairy was closed due to the decline in dairy farming and the Salzhausen milk supply cooperative was founded. The term of the (today's Lower Saxony) Hohen Geest became popular from 1929 through the dairy .
The Salzhausen milk supply cooperative sold milk from the area to the Lüneburg dairy.
traffic
It is about 10 km to the federal motorway 7 , which runs west of the municipality.
Salzhausen is on the single- track Winsen – Hützel railway line , on which there is currently no daily passenger traffic, but only little freight traffic. In the 1870s, the line, which in Wulfsen was connected to the Wittenberge – Buchholz line, gained importance due to the possibility of delivering artificial fertilizers , which were modern at the time, and the possibility of transporting agricultural products such as fattening pigs, potatoes and sugar beets.
Bus line 5200 ( Lüneburg –Salzhausen) runs with several stops in Salzhausen within the tariff framework of the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund .
