The Wennigser Mark is a district of the municipality of Wennigsen (Deister) in the Hanover region .

history

The Wennigser Mark was settled by miners who were tired of the long way to work from Wennigsen to the Wilhelm tunnel above Egestorf . The first of them was Georg Bullerdieck, he built his house in 1875 at the far end of the Wennigsen district , on the border with Egestorf. Today this house is at Egestorfer Straße 33.

As early as the 1920s, the area was preferred by wealthy Hanoverians as a place for their second home. And even later, the proximity to nature on the edge of the Deister attracted many new settlers, just before the creation of an independent district in the course of the regional reform in 1970, over 100 new houses were built.

The police training center for technology and traffic in Lower Saxony , which existed from 1963 to 1997, was based in the village.

Economy and Infrastructure

The Wennigser Mark is connected to Wennigsen and Barsinghausen by a bus line within the Hanover metropolitan area . In Wennigsen, the bus line is coordinated with the travel times of the S-Bahn , so that you can change trains without long waiting times. In the morning, a line continues to Gehrden , so that the students of the local high school do not have to change trains. The Egestorf train station is just outside the municipal boundary and also provides access to the town.

The cycle path connection to Wennigsen was opened in August 2011 after more than 30 years of political discussion. From the Wennigser Mark one of the steepest asphalt roads, but closed to motor vehicle traffic, the Bierweg, leads to the Deisterkamm, which is used by ambitious cyclists. The mean gradient of the 2.6 kilometer long road is just over 10 percent. The Deisterkreisel, a cycle route that leads around the Great Deister, runs on the southern outskirts of the village.
