Holm-Seppensen is the most populous district of the city of Buchholz in the Nordheide in the Harburg district and is located in the northern Lüneburg Heath , about six kilometers south of the city center, in Lower Saxony . Since the Lower Saxony regional reform in 1972, the formerly independent communities that formed the district have belonged to Buchholz. In addition to the central district of Holm-Seppensen, the locality also includes the districts of Seppensen in the north and Holm in the south.

location

The place Holm-Seppensen is geographically located between the core town of Buchholz in the north, the Sprötze district in the northwest, the community Jesteburg in the east and the communities Hanstedt and Handeloh in the south on the northern edge of the Lüneburg Heath. Adjacent to the south is the heath area Büsenbachtal , which is popular with day trippers, around the horse head elevation . The Seeve , a tributary of the Elbe, flows through the southern town of Holm . In addition, the district is traversed by the small lake tributaries Pulverbach and Seppenser Bach .

Territorial reform

After the territorial reform in 1972, the once independent communities of Seppensen, Holm and part of the formerly independent community of Lüllau (the current place of Holm-Seppensen) were assigned to the city of Buchholz.

Community structure

The village of Holm-Seppensen consists of three districts:

  • Seppensen district
  • District of Holm-Seppensen
  • District of Holm

history

The Holm-Seppensen settlement was created in 1901 when Holm and Seppensen were to get their own train station on the new connection Buchholz - Soltau , the Heidebahn . Since the two villages could not agree on a location, the train station was built in the middle of the former heathland, exactly between the two places. Holm-Seppensen became a local recreation destination in the nearby city of Hamburg .

With the Wandervogel movement, more and more people came to Holm-Seppensen in trains that were completely overcrowded on some weekends. Soon the first inn , a cinema , a grocery store and, as a special attraction, a natural swimming pond with a campsite were built . A second inn at the Seppenser Mühle , just under two kilometers from the train station, became a popular destination.

Many weekend houses were built between the First and Second World War , from which a loose settlement with plot sizes between 4,000 and 8,000 m² was formed. In the course of the Second World War, many Hamburgers found refuge in Holm-Seppensen, especially after the heavy bombing of Hamburg in the summer of 1943. The conversion of weekend houses into buildings for permanent use, the densification of the buildings with ever smaller plots of land and the conversion of the surrounding open heathland in forest areas changed the townscape to a great extent after the Second World War.

On July 1, 1972, the previously independent municipalities of Holm and Seppensen and parts of the dissolved municipality of Lüllau (in the Thelstorf area) were added to the city of Buchholz as part of the municipality reform , after a merger with the municipalities of Sprötze , Schierhorn and Handeloh had not come about. This area was summarized under the name Holm-Seppensen .

For several years the association Kulturbahnhof Holm-Seppensen, founded in summer 2003, campaigned for the station building, which had been vacant for a long time. The association has now leased and renovated the reception building from the city of Buchholz. Various events are now being held here, such as a wide variety of courses , lectures , readings , exhibitions and concerts . In addition, the newly established heather library is located in the station building . As a result, the old train station is once again a center of the place through its conversion.

Attractions

The Seppensen museum village in particular is a tourist attraction in Holm-Seppensen. The freely accessible museum is an idyllic courtyard ensemble that has been built in Seppensen since the 1980s. Starting from the former Seppenser village school (under monument protection since 1984), several historical buildings, mostly rescued from demolition, were erected around a central village square. It is a farmhouse (Sniers Hus), a drive-through barn , a bakery , a forge and a (newly built) apiary. The village school houses an extensive anthropological library with 2550 media units and a local history exhibition on the settlement history of the region. The museum facility has been extensively renovated and modernized since 2019.

Directly opposite is the Alaris Butterfly Park in Buchholz . In three different air-conditioned halls ( tropical , subtropical and Mediterranean climate zone ) can be experienced depending on the season, different kinds of hundreds of free-flying butterflies in the midst of their host - and food - plants .

The historic manor Gut Holm is located in Holm . Its recently restored historic chapel (built in 1580) is by far the oldest building in the city. The intact Holmer Mühle is located on the site adjacent to the Seeve , and its fully functional grinder is regularly started on grinding days (every second Saturday of the month). The flour ground there is usually baked the following week according to traditional recipes in the bakery of the museum village of Seppensen and then sold. In addition, concerts and exhibitions take place in the Holmer Mühle at irregular intervals. The watermill is looked after by the Buchholz History and Museum Association .

In the village of Holm-Seppensen there is also an elderly meeting place in Germuth-Scheer-Hus on a 7,000 m² park-like area.
