Wiensen is a place in southern Lower Saxony and a district of the city of Uslar with 563 inhabitants.

location

Vienna is located a good two kilometers southwest of the core city of Uslar and seven kilometers as the crow flies east of the Bodenfelde patch on the Weser . The place, surrounded by meadows and fields, is located on the southern foothills of the Solling at an altitude of about 170 meters above sea level in a valley floor on the northern slope of the Vienna Mountain.

The district town of Northeim is 25 kilometers to the north-east as the crow flies, and Göttingen is 24 kilometers to the south-east. The state capital Hanover is located about 88 kilometers north of Vienna.

history

The place was first mentioned in the 11th century. From January 7, 1368, it was subject to the brothers Heinrich and Dietrich von Wintzingerode as a pledge and belonging to the Uslar Castle as a castle lair . The pledge to the brothers amounted to 130 marks and lasted three years, until on January 21, 1371 Duke Otto I, as feudal lord, gave his consent to another pledge of the village in favor of Arnold von Portenhagen (son of the knight Arnold von der Sababurg), gave. The deposit was 153 marks of soldered silver. Since the territorial reform of March 1, 1974, the formerly independent municipality has belonged to the newly founded large municipality of Uslar .

economy

Chapel in Vienna.

There are hardly any commercial jobs in Vienna. Agriculture and forestry no longer play a significant role either, so that most of the economically active residents now commute to neighboring cities.

There are some guest beds in holiday apartments available.

To the southeast of the village lies the Steimke estate belonging to Vienna. It was of agricultural importance until the second half of the 20th century. In the mid-1980s, the “Steimke Youth Workshop”, founded and supported by the “Albert Schweitzer Family Works”, was built in a building. The stables of the estate are used today, as are those of some of the former Viennese farms, by equestrian clubs.

Attractions

St. Jodocus Chapel

In the center of the village there is a chapel built in the Gothic style at the end of the 14th century, whose parish belongs to the parish of Uslar in the parish of Leine-Solling . It is a rectangular building with dimensions of 11.68 × 5.26 m made of sandstone rubble masonry with a narrow west tower. The outer structure by buttresses on the corners of the building and the long sides corresponds roughly to the inner division into choir and nave of roughly the same size. The coat of arms of the church's founder is depicted in the keystone of the western yoke of the ribbed vault. The building was built in 1383 as the parish church of the village by the Lords of Wintzingerode and consecrated to Saint Jodocus . After the Reformation, the Vienna community became a chapel community in the Uslar parish in 1543.

Clus Chapel

On the Vienna cemetery located between Uslar and Vienna, the lords of Wintzingerode built the small rectangular quarry stone chapel of St. Anne in the second half of the 14th century on the site of an older wooden building known as the "Clus" . The small, rectangular sandstone building is vaulted on the inside and structured on the outside by corner blocks and soffits made of sandstone ashlar, and a Gothic tracery window has been preserved in the east gable. The inscribed date of 1373 comes from modern times.
