history

Tündern was first mentioned in 1004 under the name Tundirum in a document from the Kemnade monastery. In the Middle Ages, the high court of justice of the Ohsen Office was located near the place on the so-called Tündernanger, where a witch burning took place in 1583 . The last execution took place here in 1763 with the hanging of a horse thief.

On January 1st, 1973 Tündern was incorporated into the district town of Hameln.

Tündern train station

The place had a train station on the Hanover – Altenbeken railway line . This was set up as a breakpoint in 1913. Since the place was only about one kilometer away from the Bückeberg , this stop was converted into a four-track "Führerbahnhof" as part of the expansion work for the Reichserntedankfest in 1935. This had particularly long platforms for Hitler's special train. The adjoining building received eight ticket offices. In addition, a ramp was built on which Adolf Hitler's company car could be unloaded.

After the Second World War , the platforms that were not needed were dismantled and the station was downgraded to a stop. In 1964 the stopping point was abandoned and the building was used as a block. In the late 1970s, it became redundant and demolished. Remnants of the car ramp can still be found.
