history

Duchy of Bremen and Verden (extract Thedinghausen)
Thedinghausen 1899

The first localities in the area of ​​today's municipality were first mentioned between 1138 (Werder) and 1534 (Donnerstedt). A castle was built in Thedinghausen in the late 13th century (on the site of the later district court, now a youth center), the castle men of which were the lords of Klencke from 1260 onwards . Castle and place changed territorial affiliation several times until Thedinghausen finally became part of County Hoya for a long time . After the death of the last Count of Hoya, the county of Hoya came to the Welfenhaus and was divided among the various lines of the Welfen (Braunschweig-Lüneburg-Celle, Braunschweig-Lüneburg-Wolfenbüttel, Calenberg).

Thedinghausen came first to Sweden in 1648 and then to Braunschweig-Lüneburg-Wolfenbüttel in 1679. While the rest of the County of Hoya was finally "reunified" in the Electorate of Hanover, the Thedinghausen office remained with Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel , later with the Duchy of Braunschweig and finally with the Free State of Braunschweig . Initially, Thedinghausen belonged to the Holzminden district as a Brunswick exclave , from 1850 to June 30, 1972, to the Braunschweig district (from 1946 within the Braunschweig administrative district ). Even today there is still much to remind us of the Braunschweig history of the place. The main shopping street is named after Braunschweig, as is the Brunsviga pharmacy approved by Duke Karl von Braunschweig in 1758 . The lion on the Thedinghausen coat of arms is also based on the coat of arms of the Braunschweig district. With the Lower Saxony district reform, it was incorporated into the Verden district on July 1, 1972.

Jewish life in Thedinghausen

The first Jewish citizens mentioned in a document were the family of the protective Jew Abraham Benedix, who lived in Thedinghausen between 1745 and 1770. In the 19th century up to 40 Jews lived in the Thedinghausen district. A house in the village that belonged to the Braunschweig district rabbinate served as the community's prayer room . The Jewish cemetery existed in today's Blankenburger Strasse from 1854 to 1941 , which was then sold and built over with a residential building. Nothing reminds of this today.

The inscription on the pigeon tower of the Thedinghausen town hall recalls: “The secret of redemption lies in memory. Dedicated to our former Jewish fellow citizens ”, supplemented by the names of the Thedinghausen Jews, to the former Jewish community.

Incorporations

The municipality of Thedinghausen was formed on April 1, 1908 through the merger of the three municipalities Bürgerei , Hagen and Westerwisch .

On July 1, 1972, the communities Dibbersen-Donnerstedt , Eißel, Holtorf-Lunsen , Horstedt and Werder were incorporated into the community of Thedinghausen. On November 1, 2006, the union with the municipality of Morsum to form the enlarged municipality of Thedinghausen took place.

There are two Protestant churches with attached cemeteries in the community:

  • District Thedinghausen
  • District Lunsen in the center
