Location of Sebexen in Lower Saxony

Sebexen is a district of the municipality Kalefeld in the district of Northeim , Lower Saxony .

location

The place is located in southern Lower Saxony between meadows and forests, on the western edge of the Harz Mountains north of the B 445.

history

Sebexen was first mentioned in a document from 1139. The form of the name in this document is “Sibechteshusen”.

On February 24, 1430, the squire Heinrich von Gittelde announced the redemption of the property at Sebexen with 150 guilders.

In the development of the name, after “Sebechthusen” in 1294, the name form “Sebexen” was achieved very early, namely in 1442.

Sebexen was at times a border town. For centuries the Dorfbach in Sebexen formed the border between the dioceses of Hildesheim and Mainz. At the beginning of the 16th century the village belonged partly to Braunschweig-Grubenhagen, partly to Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel.

Sebexen was incorporated into the municipality of Kalefeld on March 1, 1974.

politics

The local mayor is Hans-Dieter-Bierwirth.

coat of arms

A black bar covered with four rows of silver pennies runs diagonally from top right to left on a gold shield.

The coat of arms is borrowed from the seals of the brothers Friedrich and Gunzelin von Sebexen on a document from 1352. The so-called "Mainz pennies", with which the bar is covered, are intended to remind of the bond with Mainz. In the 14th century these Lords of Sebexen had the right of patronage over the church. This noble family is only attested in the 14th century and was already extinct in 1372.

Culture and sights

  • The landmark is today's St. Martin's Church, which was built over decades in several phases and belongs to the Harzer Land church district. 1145 consecrated Henry I of Mainz at the request of the abbess of Marie convent chapel in Sebexen, the parish rights of the transferred White Water Church at them and ordered them like this the Archdeacon Norten to.
  • The village fountain is roughly in the middle of Jörnstrasse. It was built in its current basic form in the 1980s. The fountain is still a popular meeting place for many travelers (hikers, cyclists) who need to cool off in summer.
  • The lookout point at the "Hasenkamp gas station" invites you to get a striking overview of the flora and fauna. It is located on the mountain of the street of the same name "Hasenkamp". In addition to the skyline of the village of Sebexen, the silhouettes of the neighboring villages of Opperhausen, Osterbruch and Kalefeld are also visible.

traffic

rail

Sebexen owned a train station since 1899, which was on the Osterode – Kreiensen railway line (also called Auetalbahn ). This was finally shut down in March 2010 in order not to have to build a level crossing for the construction of the bypass. In 2012, a cycle path was opened on the railway line that has since connected Sebexen with Opperhausen .

Street

The towns of Osterbruch and Sebexen have been bypassed since October 12, 2011, as the two bypasses were released on this day in order to relieve the towns from the heavy traffic of the B 445 . The federal road connects the B 64 with the B 248 and Bad Gandersheim with the BAB 7 .
