Location of Sauingen in Salzgitter

Sauingen is one of the total of 31 districts of the independent city of Salzgitter in Lower Saxony , located in the northeast . Sauingen was part of the Wolfenbüttel district until February 28, 1974 .

geography

Sauingen is located in the north-east of the city of Salzgitter. The A 39 runs north of the village and separates Sauingen from the neighboring district of Üfingen . In the east is the branch canal , which is spanned by the Bedding Bridge , built in 1964 . The bridge, which is only open to pedestrians and cyclists, connects Sauingen with Beddingen. Further to the south, Industriestraße Nord separates Sauingen and Bleckenstedt, about one kilometer away . The Salzgitter AG industrial plant can be clearly seen behind it . In the south-west is the former Konrad iron ore mine , which is being converted into the " Konrad Shaft " repository for radioactive waste with negligible heat generation . In the west, behind a hill, is the so-called break, behind which the district of Peine begins. There are a number of wind turbines on the hill .

The place is divided into an old village center around the church, consisting of old farmsteads, and a new part, mostly private homes.

history

The place is first mentioned in a document in 1022. The church's wall paintings were destroyed during a renovation in 1719.

On March 1, 1974 Sauingen, which until then belonged to the Wolfenbüttel district , was incorporated into the city of Salzgitter.

coat of arms

Description: A red lily pad on a red and gold frame.

In the Middle Ages Sauingen was the capital of the Gau and thus the center for administration and jurisdiction. The villages of Sauingen, Alvesse, Beddingen, Bleckenstedt, Üfingen, Vallstedt and Wierthe belonged to this go-county and go-court. As the seat of a superintendent, Sauingen was also the ecclesiastical center, to which the places Adersheim, Alvesse, Beddingen, Bleckenstedt, Fümmelse, Geitelde, Halchter, Groß Stöckheim, Steterburg and Vallstedt also belonged.

The stylized water lily leaf in the center of the coat of arms stands for the place name, which is interpreted as "settlement in a wetland". The water lily can also be found several times in the other coat of arms of the Duchy of Braunschweig. The rays running towards the center represent the center function that Sauingen performed for the surrounding villages. The colors gold (yellow) and red are the historical national colors of the Duchy of Braunschweig, to which Sauingen belonged.

The coat of arms was adopted as the local coat of arms of Salzgitter-Sauingen at a citizens' meeting in August 2010.
