The north-south extension of the local area is 1500 m, the west-east extension 1700 m.

history

Sorgensen was first mentioned in a document in 1310 in the city register of the city of Hanover, in which a Henricus de Seringessen was named. However, the place is likely older. In the course of the local history there were different spellings of the place name: 1310 Serigessen - 1361 Zeringhessen - 1434 Zargeße - 1439 Zarungessen - 1476 Sarigesen - 1543 Zaringeße - 1662 Sorgeßen - 1750 Sorgensen .

From 1330 there is a document in connection with a court sale to the church. In 1361 a Kothof was sold by the von Alten family to Duke Wilhelm von Lüneburg . Archivrat Sudendorf wrote in 1862:

Regardless of the many war costs, Duke Wilhelm found funds to buy goods. On January 6, 1361, he and Duke Ludwig von Aschwin von Alten acquired many farms and kots in Klein-Burgwedel, Thönse, Wettmar, Engensen, Schillerslage, Burgdorf, Sorgensen, Wefelingsen (sic!) And Aligse with all accessories, except those pieces which Aschwin von Alten had lent and reserved when selling. Aschwin had only owned the goods at Klein-Burgwedel from Duke Wilhelm zu Lehn; of the others he vowed to keep the feud for him and Duke Ludwig.

In 1434 Sorgensen was handed over to the Vogt von Celle , Dietrich Bühring (Buringe). In 1439 some of the Sorgens farmers paid tithes to the von Escherde family.

Sorgenser post mill

The post mill built in 1686 was renovated in 1783. In 1820 Johann Heinrich Bodenstab became the first heir interest miller. In 1882 the miller Friedrich Bodenstab drowned in the Burgdorfer Aue . In 1896 the farm on Hauptstrasse 5 burned down completely after a lightning strike. Around 1900 the new miller Hans Heinrich Ahrens set up an inn in his house , which still exists today. Fritz Schwenke bought the mill in 1918.

On the night of October 6th to 7th, 1897, the wood and timber-framed grain and sawmill from Kleine in Dachtmissen burned down to the surrounding walls. The Burgdorfer Kreisblatt said about the extinguishing work : “The first fire-fighting train to arrive, the municipal sprayer from Sorgensen, could not begin because difficult tasks stood in its way. The Dachtmisser sprayer and its crew had the task of protecting the isolated barn in order to prevent the glowing flames from penetrating this side. ”The Sorgensen volunteer fire brigade existed from 1958 to 1974. Heinrich Bührke took over after Friedrich-Wilhelm Kühle Chair. With the incorporation, the fire brigade was dissolved and fire protection was taken over by the city of Burgdorf.

The joint cemetery of Dachtmissen and Sorgensen was laid out in 1930.

In 1949 the sports club Sorgensen and the Siedlerbund were founded. In 1952 the school (now a day care center) was built. In 1961 the Hänigser Kaspar small railway , which ran through Sorgensen, ceased operations. In 1971 the Sorgensen shooting club was re-established. In 1972 the common cemetery was given a chapel. The local daycare center has been located in the former school building since 1973.

In 1978, the shooting club was built in-house and has been home to the local shooting club ever since. In 1996 the initiative founded its own local council, which no longer exists today. In 2000 the outbuilding of the old school was converted into a sports center for SV Sorgensen.

On May 28, 2010, the Sorgensen e. V. founded. On September 4th and 5th, 2010, he organized a festival weekend for the 700th anniversary of the town.

coat of arms

The design of the coat of arms of Sorgensen comes from the heraldist and graphic artist Alfred Brecht , born in Gadenstedt and later living in Hanover , who has already designed the coats of arms of Aligse , Bantorf , Barrigsen and many other places in the Hanover district. The approval of the coat of arms was granted on June 18, 1970 by the district president in Lüneburg.

Sorgensen coat of arms
Blazon : "Under white  : red geständertem Sign High in green a silver millstone with red hub iron ."
Justification for the coat of arms: The eight triangles appearing in white and red in the shield head are intended to symbolize the courtyards from which the town of Sorgensen originated. The mill wheel in the lower part of the coat of arms is intended to indicate the centuries-old mill, which is located on a hill in front of the village and has been preserved to this day. This is seen as the symbol of the village and is therefore symbolized in the coat of arms.

Economy and Infrastructure

The former school

Sorgensen is home to three larger companies. However , there are only shops (e.g. for groceries ) in neighboring Burgdorf or other neighboring larger cities.

The Lower Saxony Asparagus Route runs through Sorgensen . From the formerly formative agricultural culture, there is now only one organically managed farm. In contrast to many other villages, Sorgensen has no real center or center. Many houses were built in the course of historical development along the main street, from which most of the old streets branch off. It was only with the further expansion of Sorgensen that the village expanded inwardly.

The last major expansions of Sorgensen were added by the new building area behind the Schützenkate (early 1990s ) and the new building area behind the sports field in the direction of Dachtmissen and Weferlingsen (2004, 2005). Furthermore, a home for the Burgdorf scouts , including a large outdoor area, was built at the edge of the forest in the early / mid-1990s . In 2000, the local pastor initiated the Taufwald, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the scout home. Several hundred trees were planted in the project, which was unique in Germany at the time.

Sorgensen shares a common cemetery with a chapel and a bell tower with the village of Dachtmissen. Furthermore, the Burgdorfer Aue flows past Sorgensen , where the modern Burgdorfer sewage treatment plant is also located.

A day-care center for around 25 children is housed in the former Sorgens School . The local soccer and sports field, which is also the venue for SV Sorgensen, is also located here. Other distinctive points in Sorgensen are the centrally located children's playground, the shooting range (where the annual shooting festival takes place) and the sports field of SV Sorgensen.
