history

Sierße was mentioned in a document in 1182 as "Sigerdessem" and has belonged to the Bettmar district court since 1152 . In the Middle Ages, there also seems to have been a court in the district of Sierße, in the forest "Sierßer Holz".

In 1802, Sierße had 409 inhabitants in 56 fireplaces. With the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel , Sierße was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia created by Napoleon in 1807 . After its dissolution in 1813, the place belonged to the Duchy of Braunschweig until 1918 .

Siere's assignment to the Braunschweig district and its status as an independent municipality ended on March 1, 1974 in the course of the regional reform of Lower Saxony with the incorporation into Vechelde.

coat of arms

The design of the municipal coat of arms comes from the heraldist Arnold Rabbow. The coat of arms was adopted by the local council on November 17, 1981.

Blazon : "In the shield split by blue and gold , a kettle hook in mixed up colors."

Justification of the coat of arms: The split shield indicates the border location of the place between the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and the areas of the Hildesheim monastery . The affiliation to the respective rulership changed several times in the 12th to 15th centuries. The kettle hook comes from the coat of arms of the von Gustede family , who had three black kettle hooks. They were mentioned as the first administrators of the ducal-Brunswick office of Sierße before 1320. The blue-gold color confirms the affiliation to the former state of Braunschweig.

Economy and Infrastructure

Sierße was an agricultural village until the second half of the 20th century. The village image mostly shows small courtyards with central German and Lower Saxon house and courtyard shapes, with the central German construction predominating. Today, however, agriculture is only of minor importance in the structure of employment. Many of the village's residents pursue their purchases mainly in the regional center of Braunschweig or in the nearby industrial areas in the Salzgitter - Peine area .

In the past few decades, small complexes of modern homes and two-story row houses have emerged in the east and north. In 1997, the new building area "Mühlenblick" was developed on federal road 65 in the direction of Bettmar.
