Thönse is a rural village and district of the city of Burgwedel in the Hanover region in Lower Saxony .

history

Iron Age finds from barrows on the Ehrenberg near Thönse point to prehistoric settlement.

The three villages of Wettmar , Thönse and Engensen bought themselves off on November 25, 1307 from the parish of Burgdorf, which had been responsible until then, and built their own church, which was destroyed in the Thirty Years War .

From a report of the District Bailiff of Burgwedel from November 2, 1697 it can be seen, "How many leather buckets in each village and at what places they were available and kept":

“
Wettmar specification : 12 leather buckets - four and four bought and available, stored in the tower of the church.
Engensen: 7 leather buckets - made up of four and four - hang in the chapel.
Thönse: 8 leather buckets - the four and four landlords bought them are all in the chapel.
Kleinburgwedel: 10 leather buckets, all in Tönnies Leisenberg's house.
Fuhrberg: 10 fire buckets, in the jury's Heinr. All of White's house.
Großburgwedel: 31 fire buckets, in 31 houses all over the place. "

In Thönse, two houses and a barn burned down on December 20, 1890.

On March 1, 1974, Thönse was incorporated into the new municipality of Burgwedel.

Coat of arms of Thönse
 Blazon : " Divided by green and silver , above a growing , golden lion , below two goldenbull horns with black forehead hair on top of each other."
Justification of the coat of arms: The lion symbolizes the former jurisdiction of the free, which the municipality Thönse previously exercised together with eight other surrounding municipalities. We can already find the same lion in the coats of arms of the municipalities of Otze and Wettmar . The two bull horns remind us that in Thönse a special type of bull licensing, the so-called bull pushing, was regularly carried out in the past.
