history

The Calenberger mill
The gold lunula from Schulenburg

Various finds indicate settlement as early as the Stone Age. A chapel in Schulenburg was first mentioned in a document in 1282. In 1298 Schulenburg itself is mentioned in a document as a settlement. The sandstone bridge over the Leine is built in 1751.

The ruins of the Calenberg Fortress are located near Schulenburg, which still indicates the former importance of Schulenburg as the residence of the Guelph dukes. Duke Otto der Strenge built the castle against the bishops of Hildesheim at the end of the 13th century (mentioned in 1290 as "castrum calenberg") . It was destroyed in the Thirty Years War . Schulenburg was the seat of the Calenberg district until 1867 .

The Marienburg near Schulenburg was built between 1857 and 1867 by King George V for his wife Marie.

On March 1, 1974, the community Schulenburg (Leine) (official name) was incorporated into the city of Pattensen.

Gold jewelry discovery from 1911

The Schulenburg gold lunula was founded in April 1911 by the farmer's son Alten jun. found. This happened when clearing a forest in hallway 8 of Schulenburg. The find was exposed in the roots of a maple tree at a depth of 30 cm and then sold to the Hannover Provincial Museum . Since there was no follow-up investigation of the site, it remained unclear whether it was a grave find, a victim find or a custody find.

The find is one of the few gold lunulae that have been excavated in Germany and on the European mainland. It originated in the Early Bronze Age and was probably imported from Ireland at the time . This find near Adensen points to the extensive trade relations with Ireland that already existed at that time. Most of the gold lunulae have been found there; therefore Ireland is considered to be their place of manufacture. The original of the find is exhibited in the Lower Saxony State Museum in Hanover and a copy in the museum in the castle courtyard in Springe.
