history

Prehistory and early history

The area of ​​today's city of Sehnde was already settled during the Iron Age in the 1st millennium BC. BC to the Migration Period in the 5th or 6th century, although it is not known whether the settlement was continuous.

Archaeological finds and findings from this period originate from excavations in 2017 during the development of a new building area around one kilometer north of the town center. These include the remains of pit houses and post marks from smaller storage structures as well as remnants of racing furnaces and slag from iron smelting. The ceramic shards found in the garbage pits made it possible to date the settlement period.

middle Ages

Around 800 the area around Sehnde was settled by Franconian military colonists. The first written mention of the place name Sehnde comes from the year 1147. After several armed conflicts, the area was divided between the Brunswick-Lüneburg Guelphs and the Hildesheim monastery. During this time, ten Sehnder districts belonged to the Großer Free and thus since 1885 to the Burgdorf district , while the remaining five belonged to the Hanover (Müllingen, Wassel) and Hildesheim (Bolzum, Wehmingen, Wirringen) districts.

Due to the historical affiliation to several manors, today's Sehnder districts were divided into the three administrative districts of Lüneburg , Hanover and Hildesheim until the Lower Saxony regional reform in the 1970s . Until December 31, 2004, Sehnde belonged to the then administrative district of Hanover, which, like all of Lower Saxony's administrative districts, was dissolved.

New parish Sehnde

The territorial reform, which came into effect on March 1, 1974, created the new municipality from the 15 previously independent municipalities Bilm , Bolzum , Dolgen , Evern , Gretenberg , Haimar , Höver , Ilten , Klein Lobke , Müllingen , Rethmar , Sehnde, Wassel , Wehmingen and wering .

An affiliated fertilizer and road salt factory is still in operation.
