history
Up until the beginning of the 16th century, today's area around Wallmoden belonged to the Prince Diocese of Hildesheim. As a result of the Hildesheim collegiate feud , Alt Wallmoden, Neuwallmoden and Bodenstein were awarded to the Brunswick Duchy in 1523 . In 1643 Alt Wallmoden was returned to the Diocese of Hildesheim , while Neuwallmoden and Bodenstein remained with the Brunswick Duchy and later the State of Brunswick until 1946 . Alt Wallmoden as part of the Hildesheim Monastery belonged to the Kingdom of Hanover from 1814 and fell to Prussia in 1866 .
In the course of the Lower Saxony regional reform, the municipality of Wallmoden was formed on March 1, 1974 from the previously independent municipalities of Alt Wallmoden, Neuwallmoden and Bodenstein.
Alt Wallmoden
Alt Wallmoden was first mentioned in a deed of donation in 1016, in which Emperor Heinrich II transferred a manor to Wallmoden (Curtis Walmonthem) of the episcopal church in Paderborn. Since that time the diocese of Paderborn has belonged to the feudal lords in Alt Wallmoden alongside the diocese of Hildesheim . The name of the place later changed from Walmonthem via Walmuthe , Walmede to today's Wallmoden.
In 1154, Tidelinus (Thedel) von Wallmoden , a ministerial (court servant in the administrative service of the Duke) of Henry the Lion , was mentioned for the first time as a member of the noble family named after the place. The family has been wealthy in Wallmoden since that time and still runs a farm in Alt Wallmoden today.
In 1599 the ownership of the von Wallmoden family was divided when the brothers Ludolf and Jasper von Wallmoden established the Oberhaus and Unterhaus lines . Only after 1825, when the House of Lords had gone out with the death of Rittmeister Karl Christoph Heinrich von Wallmoden, the goods were reunited.
The first parts of the von Wallmoden family mansion were built in the 16th century, the north wing dates from 1579, the second wing from 1628. An octagonal stair tower is attached to the north wing, the entrance of which bears the inscription “Soli deo gloria 1579”. A third wing of the manor house was added to the buildings in 1833. The estate is still owned by the family today.
Pagenburg
The highest point in Wallmoden is the 290.8 m high Pagenberg, located about 1.5 km southwest of Alt Wallmoden, on which ring walls are still the remains of a former castle from the 10th-11th centuries. Century can be seen. The Pagenburg was laid out as a refuge , two ring walls can still be seen today, which protected the castle square from attacks to the north, east and west, and to the south the complex was protected from attacks by a steep slope. Remains of stone buildings were not found, so it is assumed that it was an underground structure with possibly wooden superstructures, which was only used in the event of a defense. The castle was originally Pawenburg known that from the Old High German phawo derived and as much as Peacock means. Since a branch of the von Wallmoden family also had a peacock in their coat of arms in the 13th century, it is assumed that the Pagenburg once belonged to their possessions. The Pagenburg lost its importance after the family seat in Alt Wallmoden was expanded in the 12th century. The castle was transferred to the Riechenberg monastery in 1181 , and the von Wallmoden family received the goods back in 1460.
Neuwallmoden
Neuwallmoden Castle, southwest of Alt Wallmoden ( location map ), was built in the 13th or 14th century. This was first mentioned in writing in 1307 as Castrum Novum Walmede , when the city of Goslar and Bishop Siegfried von Hildesheim acquired this castle to protect the trade routes. It is not clear whether this castle also belonged to the von Wallmoden family. From 1311 the castle belonged to the diocese of Hildesheim and was sold to the Lords of Oberg in 1323 . The castle was destroyed in a feud in 1368 by troops of the Bishop of Hildesheim and the place fell back to the diocese.
Eisenstein has been mined in three small pits east of Neuwallmoden since 1724 . The mined ore was smelted in the Wilhelmshütte near Bornum . At the end of the 18th century, mining came to a standstill again.
Bodenstein
The monastery of the place in the Hainberge ( location map ) was founded in 1146 by the monastery of St. Godehardi in Hildesheim . In the founding deed of the monastery courtyard, which was also the first written mention of the place, the neighboring town of Holthusen was mentioned in addition to Bodenstein , on the grounds of which part of the monastery property lay. In 1214 the name Holthusens was mentioned again, after which it disappeared and the name Bodenstein has stood for both districts ever since. Since 1271 the monastery belonged to the Goslar monastery Frankenberg . After Duke Julius introduced the Reformation in 1568, the monastery was converted into a noble women's monastery . The women's monastery was abolished in 1806 as a result of secularization and converted into a monastery property.
In the Battle of Lutter in 1626, Bodenstein was largely destroyed and only rebuilt in 1650. From the year 1756, a land map has been preserved, according to which a half-horse, eleven full mutt, six half mutt, eleven brinkitzer and one farmer lived in the village. When the railway network was built in the middle of the 19th century, Bodenstein was not connected because it was too far from the traffic routes. The place retained its agricultural character, which was shaped in particular by the monastery property.
Today the monastery property is administered by the Braunschweigischer Kulturbesitz Foundation . After milk production had to be stopped last in 1987, it is now a pure arable farm. The Lower Saxony State Stud Celle has had a breeding station on the grounds of the monastery property since 1987.
Könneckenrode
_-_Waldgasthaus_2014-05.jpg)
The Könneckenrode Vorwerk ( location map ), today a district of Alt Wallmoden, was originally a Vorwerk of the estate in Alt Wallmoden. The place is on the federal highway 248 about halfway between Salzgitter-Bad and Lutter am Barenberge. The name appears for the first time in 1154 in a deed of donation in which Heinrich the Lion donated two Hufen land in Kantingerod to the Riechenberg monastery near Goslar . In 1460, the von Wallmoden family acquired these lands. At the beginning of the 18th century an inn and a brick factory were mentioned here.
Around 1750 an Erzwiese near Könneckenrode was known. The iron ore was mined to a small extent by farmers and smelted on the Innerstefurt near Hohenrode . These ore finds were also referred to in an expert report that was drawn up in 1764 on behalf of the Hildesheim prince-bishop Friedrich Wilhelm von Westphalen (1763–1789), but these finds were not further exploited. The exploration of the camp was resumed in 1938 when the Anna shaft was sunk as part of the construction of the ore mines for Reichswerke Hermann Göring near Alt Wallmoden , which should serve as a weather shaft for the Ringelheim mine . From this shaft, an exploration crosscut was driven in a south-westerly direction at a depth of 296 m . The work was stopped when a water ingress after 650 m made further advance impossible. The excavation work on the Anna shaft was stopped due to the war in October 1940 and was not restarted after the war. The Anna shaft was dropped in 1949 and closed with a concrete cover.
Today there is a restaurant in Könneckenrode and the district forester of Alt Wallmoden is based here.

Since the Reformation in the Duchy of Braunschweig in 1568, the population belonging to Wallmoden has been predominantly Protestant. The closest Catholic parish is in Salzgitter-Ringelheim .
Alt Wallmoden Church
There are three different church buildings in the village. The first church was already mentioned in 1531 in a deed of the dukes Erich (1500–1553) and Heinrich the Younger (1489–1568), in which Heinrich von Wallmoden was enfeoffed with the church and 3½ Hufen land of the parish. This is the old chapel at the cemetery of honor in Alt Wallmoden, which is still preserved today. According to Zobel, the small church was built as early as 1248.
The second church building was built on the grounds of the property. The permission to build his own church was given to Thedel von Wallmoden in 1517 by Bishop Johann IV of Hildesheim . This building is no longer preserved.
The current village church of Alt Wallmoden was built at the beginning of the 17th century. The church is under the patronage of the von Wallmoden family. The church building has a rectangular floor plan with a three-sided choir closure. It is about 20 m long, the choir is 8.5 m wide and 5 m high. Some of the patronage rights still exist today.
Since the introduction of the Reformation in 1568 and the associated reorganization of the church, the community has belonged to the special inspection in Baddeckestedt, which in turn was part of the general inspection in Bockenem. The parish today, together with Upen, belongs to the Parish Association of Ringelheim, which in turn belongs to the Goslar provost.
Neuwallmoden Church
In an archdeaconate directory of the diocese of Hildesheim from the 15th century, a parish church is named for Neuwallmoden, which, like the church of Alt Wallmodens, belonged to the archdeaconate of Ringelheim. This church is also mentioned in a deed of donation from 1350, in which the owners of Neuwallmoden Castle at that time, the von Oberg family, gave the church a silver mark. The church building was destroyed in the 16th century. After the place received a new school building in 1875, a prayer room was set up here, for which a resident of the place donated an organ in 1881. Church services are held here once a month and on special holidays. Today the parish belongs to the parish of St. Georg in Lutter am Barenberge, which in turn belongs to the parish association of St. Trinitatis Neiletal .
Bodenstein Church
The town's St. Anthony's Church originally belonged to the monastery. The church was probably built in the 15th century by the Frankenberg monastery in Goslar, to which the Bodenstein monastery belonged at that time and which also held the patronage of the Bodenstein church. Since two of the three painted windows from the 16th century depict St. Anthony , it is believed that the church was dedicated to this saint. Since the introduction of the Reformation in 1568, the church has formed a parish association with the parish of Mahlum and is now part of the Gandersheim-Seesen Provostry .

coat of arms
The municipality has a black ibex head on a golden background in its coat of arms. This refers to the coat of arms of the von Wallmoden family, which shows three black ibexes. Before the amalgamation of the three communities Alt Wallmoden, Neuwallmoden and Bodenstein, this was Alt Wallmoden's coat of arms, the other two communities did not have their own coat of arms. For the former municipality of Alt Wallmoden, the coat of arms was approved by the Braunschweig administrative president in 1960; when they were merged in 1974, the three municipalities agreed to continue this coat of arms.
Natural monuments
As a natural monument in Lower Saxony , the legendary Bodensteiner cliffs are located in Wallmoden. They are a labyrinth of boulders and rock towers made of Cretaceous sandstone . 135 million years ago, sand was deposited on the seabed, brought in by rivers from the surrounding mountains (Harz).
Regular events
- Alt Wallmoden pond festival (every two years)
Economy and Infrastructure
The place has retained its agricultural character to this day.
One of the largest operations is the Darmpfulsmühle , also known as the Ringelheim mill , which belongs to Alt-Wallmoden and is located west of Salzgitter-Ringelheim , which is still operated with water power today. The mill was mentioned as early as 1460 and was built by Thedel von Wallmoden at the confluence of the Innerste and Neile rivers . It was an undershot mill with four grinding courses for grain and beet seeds, the fourth course could also be used for sawing and grinding work. The mill had been operated by monks from the Ringelheim monastery since 1626 , the mill was sold in 1836 and then had different owners. The Ringelheim mill is now the headquarters of Südhannoversche Mühlenwerke Engelke GmbH , mainly wheat and rye are processed here. The Engelke family has another location in Gelsenkirchen . The takeover of the Mühle Rüningen site was approved by antitrust authorities on October 1, 2014.
