Schmarloh is the name of a mountain range and a settlement in the east of Lower Saxony . The term was derived from Schmeerloh , which means greasy in the Low German language and indicates the soil conditions.

Mountain range

The Schmarloh is a ridge in the Südheide in the east of Lower Saxony, which stretches from the Wiehe valley between Groß Oesingen and Hohne to the northwest to the Lutter and Unterer Lachte valleys between Marwede and Lachendorf . The northeast near Groß Oesingen is in the Gifhorn district , otherwise the ridge is entirely in the Celle district . The highest point is the 78  m above sea level. NHN meter high Thornberg on the north-eastern edge, 3 km north-west of Groß Oesingen.

Originally the Schmarloh is in the Drenthe II period of the Ice Age before about 230,000 years resulting terminal moraine . Several ice thrusts one after the other about a thousand years apart pushed over the existing boulders and sand hills again, so that tundra-shaped overgrown areas were covered again and reshaped by water and wind.

Settlement

The Schmarloh settlement is part of the municipality of Groß Oesingen in the Gifhorn district .

Since the soil in Schmarloh was too damp for arable farming and too far away from the surrounding villages for grazing, the Schmarloh and its heather areas remained largely untouched for a long time. Archaeological finds from the Stone and Bronze Ages show, however, that people lived on the Schmarloh at an early age.

Hof John has existed in Schmarloh since 1923, but it belongs to the municipality of Ummern . Around 1930, in addition to agriculture, a rest home was operated in the yard.

With the introduction in 1856 in Zahrenholz Verkoppelung of Feldmark, which belongs to today's settlement Schmarloh area was allocated six Zahrenholzer courtyards. After several changes of ownership, in 1925 the Hannoversche Siedlungsgesellschaft acquired most of the area, which at that time still consisted of heathland and wasteland , and had it transformed into a cultural landscape. From 1927 to 1934 a total of 13 settler positions were established.

In 1935 the construction of a joint school for the children of the Schmarloh settlement and the village of Zahrenholz began, on the way between the settlement of Schmarloh and the village of Zahrenholz, in order to spare the children of the Schmarloh settlement the long walk to school in Groß Oesingen. The school was inaugurated on August 19, 1936, but was closed again in October 1942 due to the war. School operations only resumed in 1946 and a second classroom was added to the school building in 1958.

After 1945, the roads to the Schmarloh settlement were paved, and in 1950 the settlement was connected to the power grid . From 1952 on there was a public telephone in the settlement . In 1965 the school was closed and sold, and Georg Niemeyer established the Heidpark restaurant in the building , which only existed for a few years.

economy

In addition to traditional use by agriculture and forestry , part of the Schmarloh north of Hohne is used to generate wind energy . The Schmarloh gained national recognition through long pros and cons of the originally planned very large wind farm in the media. In 2004 a smaller project with 13 wind turbines was applied for and examined. These have now been built and are in operation.
