history

Sievershausen was first mentioned in a document in 1234 as Sifrideshusen .

The Battle of Sievershausen took place on July 9, 1553 between Sievershausen and Arpke . The partial battle in the Second Margrave War with around 30,000 fighters and around 4,000 dead was (alongside the Battle of Lutter in 1626) one of the bloodiest armed conflicts in what is now Lower Saxony. 300 years after the battle, a memorial stone for Elector Moritz was erected in 1853 .

St. Martin's Church today stands on the foundations of the first church building, which was erected in 990. Your organ comes from the secular church of St. Brother Konrad (Hanover) . Until 1965, Sievershausen was the seat of its own Evangelical Lutheran church district, which extended to Meinersen in the east and Stederdorf in the south . When it was dissolved, the community was added to the Burgdorf parish. From 1967 onwards, events of the peace movement called anti-war workshops took place in the Protestant parish of Sievershausen on the initiative of pastor Klaus Rauterberg . The occasion to institutionalize the work was a larger commemorative event at the memorial stone for Elector Moritz on July 9, 1978, which was experienced by many people as cynical due to the speeches. As a result, in the late autumn of 1978, the initiative to set up a documentation center was formed. On September 1, 1979, the foundation stone was laid for today's building, which had been given to the association and which young people demolished and rebuilt: The Sievershausen Anti- War House is owned by the Association Documentation Center for War Events and Peace Work e. V. worn. The work of the association was partly controversial in the village. In addition to exhibitions and events, the house also offers simple overnight accommodation.

coat of arms

The design of the Sievershausen coat of arms comes from Robert Haarstrich . The approval of the coat of arms was granted on July 4, 1953 by the Lower Saxony Minister of the Interior .

Blazon : “The coat of arms shows two crossed silver swords in the upper partand a silver plow below. Frombottom right to top left there is a silver stripe . The basic color is blue . "

Coats of arms: There are many places in Lower Saxony that have it easy to find a historically based coat of arms by using the coats of arms and colors of the noble families that were formerly resident there. That was not possible for Sievershausen. That is why the traditional colors blue and white (heraldic: silver) were chosen for gymnasts. The two crossed swords represent a double symbolism. They are reminiscent of the battle near Sievershausen, which took place here on July 9, 1553 between Margrave Albrecht of Brandenburg and Elector Moritz of Saxony . Sievershausen used to be called "Syverdishusen", derived from "Syverd". Syverd is a short form of the old German personal name "Sigifrid". Siegfried and his sword are inseparable terms. Seen in this way, the coat of arms is a speaking coat of arms . In the lower coat of arms, the agricultural structure of the community Sievershausen is represented by a stylized plow.
