history

Timmerlah
Official Atlas of the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel by Gottfried Mascop, 1574.
The first cartographic representation of Timmerlah in the official atlas of the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel by Gottfried Mascop , 1574.

The first mention as "Dinbarloha" comes from the early 9th century. In 1158 it is mentioned as "Timberlo", in 1187 as "Tymberla" and in 1302 as "Tymmerla". The nearby city has dominated the surrounding area since the Middle Ages. Their churches, monasteries and patricians became landowners in Timmerlah. When the Braunschweiger Landwehr was built at the end of the 14th century, the village was left outside this outer urban fortification and so suffered many looting and pillage over time.

Around 1440 Timmerlah was combined with another ten villages in the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel to form the administrative and judicial district " Amt Eich " or "Zur Eiche". The office covered the area west of the city of Braunschweig, from the Braunschweiger Landwehr to about the river Aue . In 1501, Duke Heinrich I , called the Elder , pledged the villages of the office to the city of Braunschweig, under whose administration they remained until 1671, when the era of the independent city of Braunschweig was ended by the reconquest of the princes of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel.

The Kirchstraße formed the center of the one-way village with the church on one side and the farms on the opposite side of the path. Later there was the Alte Winkel as well as smaller farms and houses belonging to the peasant class at the time in Eickweg, Schwarzen Straße, Ohlenhofstraße and Timmerlahstraße. The development in Nettlingskamp (1930s / 1940s), Hopfenanger (1950s) and north of Heideweges (1960s) and Schülerweges (1970s) did not emerge until the 20th century. The youngest quarter "Am Hopfengarten" was built after 2000. Major fires in the past destroyed many old houses.

Beet cultivation from the 19th century onwards brought new prosperity and around 1900 led to new buildings on many farms. The current church was built in 1871. The tower stands on the foundations of a previous Romanesque building. It was built in 1799 with the “onion”, which is unique in the region, and raised by four meters in 1899. In 1974 Timmerlah, previously the district of Braunschweig , was incorporated into the city of Braunschweig. The Timmerlaher Busch has been a landscape protection area since 1974 .

coat of arms

Coat of arms Braunschweig-Timmerlah.png

The coat of arms shows rows of staggered golden oak leaves on a green shield.

The name Timmerlah (roughly "dark wood with light spots") is derived from the words "Timber" (English wood; or also dark) and " lah ", which can mean something like clearing or also wood. The coat of arms reflects this, of course. At the same time, the color scheme and the oak leaves symbolize the Timmerlaher Busch.

Arnold Rabbow designed the coat of arms and it was adopted by Timmerlah's local council on February 20, 1980.
