Uetze [ ˈʏt͜sə ] is an independent municipality in the Hanover region in Lower Saxony .
geography
Geographical location
Uetze is located on the southern edge of the Lüneburg Heath and has predominantly sandy soils. It is crossed by the rivers Fuhse and Erse , which come from the Harz foreland and flow roughly northwards. North-west of Uetze the Erse flows into the Fuhse, which flows into the Aller at Celle .
The municipality extends over an area of about 140 km².
Community structure
The community consists of the localities (formerly independent communities) Altmerdingsen , Dedenhausen , Dollbergen , Eltze , Hänigsen , Katensen , Obershagen , Schwüblingsen and the core town of Uetze and has a total of around 22,000 inhabitants.
Each of the localities has its own local council.
The residential areas Abbeile, Benrode, Dahrenhorst and Wackerwinkel belong to the locality of Uetze.
history
The first documentary mention took place in 1022 as "Utisson". In 1215 the place was called "Utessem". From the name of the place is also derived that of the noble family "von Uttensen". A house (the "New Garden") next to the former seat of the von Uttensen family has been used almost continuously as an inn since it was built.
In 1552 Uetze was the seat of a bailiwick, it was subordinate to the office of Meinersen . This affiliation lasted until 1885. In 1695 Uetze became a market town .
The executioner responsible for the Meinersen Office lived on the outskirts of Uetze, where he mainly ran the masking trade. A document dated June 6, 1823 specifies: "... How 1. At Ütze local office there is a half-mastery, which was first awarded in 1650 by Christian Ludwig zu Braunschweig to the executioner Claus Fröhlich of Braunschweig ..." Two long-established executioner clans were called Frölich and spark. Gertrud Schumacher, former chairwoman of the Heimatbund Uetze, knows about the knackers in Uetze that they had blackened hands and were ostracized people who were only allowed to sit in the few cheap seats under the tower where there were no numbers.
A major fire destroyed almost the entire village on the afternoon of April 21, 1863; Only the Junkernhof and surrounding buildings have been preserved. The volunteer fire brigade was founded on June 5, 1880.
In 1885 the Meinersen office was dissolved and Uetze came to the Burgdorf district .
On May 16, 1966, the last manual switching in the area of the German Federal Post Office was switched off in Uetze . In 1971 Uetze merged with the communities of Dollbergen and Katensen to form a single community, which was dissolved three years later with the formation of the current unitary community of Uetze.
Uetze belonged to the Principality of Lüneburg and is therefore traditionally more oriented towards Celle than Hanover . It belonged to the district of Burgdorf and was incorporated into the district of Hanover during the regional reform in Lower Saxony in 1974, along with the other communities in this district . The old communities of Dedenhausen and Eltze belonged to the district of Peine before the territorial reform in 1974. Also under discussion was membership of the Peine district or the Celle district , as the cities of Peine and Celle are much closer and Uetze would have had more influence on future decisions in these districts. The district of Hanover was dissolved on November 1, 2001 and replaced by the Hanover region, which was formed together with the city of Hanover .
Incorporations
On March 1, 1974, the communities Altmerdingsen, Dedenhausen, Dollbergen, Eltze, Hänigsen, Katensen, Obershagen and Schwüblingsen were incorporated.

coat of arms
The municipal coat of arms shows a curly, eight times blue / gold split, upwards running tip. The nine components of the curved tip represent the localities. The colors are an indication of the earlier common belonging to the Welfisch-Lüneburg country.
The coat of arms of the village of Uetze is cut in half. The right half shows the coat of arms of the House of Lüneburg, which was based in Uetze from the 17th century: in the upper part the blue Brunswick lion overlaid over red hearts. The lower right quarter is only red to show that the house was founded by a middle-class mother. The left half of the coat of arms shows three black arrows pointing upwards on a yellow background. This half of the coat of arms dates back to the time from 1329 and before, as a symbol of the Lords of Uetze ("Uttensen").
Community partnerships
- Frohburg , Saxony : Between the Protestant parish of the city of Frohburg and the town of Uetze, a partnership developed from which the partnership between Frohburg and Uetze developed after reunification. The partnership agreement was signed on September 7, 1990. Responsibility for this partnership was transferred to the Uetze local council, which, together with the Protestant parish, the choral society “Liederkranz Concordia” and the volunteer fire brigade of Uetze, ensures the continuation of the partnership.
- Balatongyörök , Hungary : It goes without saying that Hungarians take part in the annual onion festival in Uetze.
