history
First documentary mention
Wilsche is reported in a document from Bishop Bernhard von Hildesheim in 1152 . Liemar, a ministerial officer of Henry the Lion, donated the town of Bokel, which he founded, to the main church in Hildesheim with the consent of his heirs. The places Wilshete (Wilsche), Ketelingen and Kästorf are donated to the church for the maintenance of the Bokel monastery he planned .
Desolation
In the desert period between 1300 and 1400, many places such as B. Ketelingen. The expression “ desert ” describes the giving up or leaving of entire places. It is unclear whether Ketelingen or Wilsche have given up their settlement. Ketelingen is never mentioned again. Only the field names like Kettelfeld and Kettelberg remind of it.
development
The people lived in houses made of logs in log construction or stakes in half-timbered construction. The walls of the half-timbered houses were filled with wickerwork and clay. People and animals lived together under one roof. The houses were thatched with straw or reeds. The easy-to-work sandy soils and the proximity to the Allerniederung had a positive effect.
Diet and work
In addition to fishing in the Aller, arable farming has also been practiced on a small scale. The livestock known to us today were also kept at that time, with sheep keeping probably being preferred. The first meadows, especially from the Keteling people, were created through deforestation and drainage in the area of the alluvial forest in the Allerniederung.
First World War
Eighteen Wilsch citizens lost their lives in this war from 1914 to 1918.
Economically difficult years followed after the end of the war. In 1921 Wilsche was electrified.
Konrad Beste took part in the First World War as a soldier and after his return worked as a freelance writer. In addition to poetry, short stories and radio plays, he mainly wrote novels. The local novel “The Heidnic Village”, created in Wilsche in 1932, in which Wilsche is reflected in “Kleindahle”, was described by literary critics as the most important work of Konrad Best. For this novel he received the Lessing Prize of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg .
time of the nationalsocialism
After the Nazi regime came to power, the economic boom ended.
The halls of the two Wilsch restaurants were used to accommodate a training workshop at Wesendorfer Airport . There was a bogus airport in front of the Ringelah. In April 1945 Wilsche was taken by American soldiers. At that time there were 300 Russian soldiers in Wilsche. They were housed in the halls of the restaurants and were fed by the Wilsche community in the communal kitchen of the training workshop. In this war, 26 Wilsch citizens lost their lives and 19 were reported missing.
Post-war period with economic boom
After the war, Wilsche took in many displaced and bombed families. The population rose sharply as a result. The club life was substantially revitalized and strengthened by the establishment of a sports club , shooting club , volunteer fire brigade , Reichsbund, etc. During this period the general livelihood was mainly earned in agriculture. The beginning economic upswing created more jobs in trade and industry in the period that followed. The number of farms decreased from 78 to 26 in 1971.
