history

The first known mention of Uhry is a document from the year 1022, in which Wurungon cum silva alabure (Uhry with the forest of Ölper) was transferred from Bernward von Hildesheim to the Hildesheim Michaeliskloster . Uhry is later also referred to as Vringe, Vhringe, Uringe, Uringhe, and Uhri.

1534 was one Capelle tho Uringhe mentioned, however, was demolished in the second half of the 18th century. In 1730 Uhry owned the manor and five farms. During the French era Uhry belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia from 1807 to 1813 . 1850/51 took place the coupling of the field Mark Uhry. In 1859 a road to Beienrode was completed, which crossed the Uhrau with a bridge and made it easier to cross the marshy Uhrau valley. For a long time Uhry belonged to the Fallersleben office , which was added to the newly formed Gifhorn district in 1885 . The Uhry shooting club was founded in 1893.

As a result of the potash mining in the neighboring town of Beienrode, which began in 1900, Uhry also expanded, as a number of the workers who worked there settled in Uhry. In 1900, however, the windmill was shut down, collapsed in World War I and was never rebuilt. In 1902 a mandatory fire brigade was introduced , and in 1913 a post office and a bakery were set up. From 1912 to 1914 today's Gasthof Zur Linde was built , replacing a previous inn . In 1922 the memorial for those who fell in the First World War was erected. After the closure of the mine in Beienrode in 1926, the population of Uhry also fell again. On August 17, 1936, the near Uhry passing section Helmstedt – Braunschweig of the newly built Reichsautobahn 4, today's A 2, was opened to traffic. In 1939 a volunteer fire brigade was founded together with the neighboring village of Beienrode . From January 1945, refugees and displaced persons settled in Uhry as a result of the Second World War . American troops reached Uhry on April 12, 1945, and from June 12, 1945 Uhry was under the British occupation forces. In 1949 a compulsory fire brigade was set up again.

In 1950 the population had risen to 299, of which 165 were refugees and displaced persons. The sports field and the cemetery were laid out around 1953, before the dead from Uhry were buried in Ochsendorf. A few years later the cemetery chapel was built. In 1959 the bakery expanded and a new shop was added, and the now 100-year-old bridge over the Uhrau on the road to Beienrode was replaced by a new building that still exists today. In the early 1960s Uhry got a central water supply, before that every house had a well. From 1965 on, the communities Ahmstorf , Almke , Klein Steimke , Rhode and Uhry formed the entire community of Rhode without the member communities giving up their independence. From 1969, the houses were connected to the sewer system , which replaced the septic tanks in the individual houses. In 1971/72 all streets were given Uhry names for the first time.

On March 1, 1974, the municipality Uhry from the district of Gifhorn was incorporated into the city of Königslutter am Elm and thus into the district of Helmstedt. In 1976 a volunteer fire brigade was founded again. Before that, Uhry was the only place in the Helmstedt district that did not yet have a fire brigade. The post office was closed in 1996 after the Deutsche Bundespost had been privatized a year earlier .

In 1995 the service of the Uhry volunteer fire brigade was discontinued and in 2010 it was dissolved because its number of members had become too small. Fire protection was taken over by the Beienrode, Königslutter and Ochsendorf fire departments. In 2006, the bike path to Beienrode was built in 2011 which took place restoration of Uhrau and the last time the choice of its own Ortsrats for Uhry. The bakery in Uhry closed in 2013 and continues today in Königslutter.

Quartz sand mining

Quartz sand mining seascape

A quarrying area for quartz sand is located northeast of Uhry . About 70 million years ago there was a river delta in the area of ​​today's Uhrys , in which fine sands and gravels were deposited. This resulted in the white sands, which consist almost entirely of quartz sand . During the Saale Cold Age around 200,000 years ago, a layer of sand, gravel and large boulders several meters thick was deposited over the fine sands .

Around 300 of these stones are located in the Königslutter boulder garden in a recreated Ice Age landscape . The erratic boulder garden was set up by the Ostfalen Open-Air and Adventure Museum (FEMO) based in Königslutter . The largest boulder found in the sand pit weighs around 45 t. It is set up at an information point on the connecting road from Uhry to Rhode. From this point you have a good view of the sand pits and the lakes created in them.

The quarrying of quartz sand has been documented since the end of the 19th century. At that time it was used as abrasive sand and for glass production. The excavation takes place under the water surface using a suction excavator , after which the sand is cleaned and sorted according to grain size. Today the Uhry gravel works belongs to Evers & Co. GmbH in Helmstedt .
