Wulfelade is a village and northern district of Neustadt am Rübenberge in the Hanover region in Lower Saxony .

geography

Wulfelade is located on the edge of the Leine floodplain on the Hanoverian Moorgeest, about seven to eight kilometers as the crow flies north of Neustadt am Rübenberge. In the northern area of ​​Wulfelades there is a terminal moraine landscape , in the south the flat linen lowlands, the marshes .

The Wulfelader Feldmark has a size of 709 ha and 56 ares. It is elongated from northeast to southeast (5,650 m) and is relatively hilly. Its southern border is the Leineaue. Wulfelade is surrounded by cultivated areas, which are broken through by smaller strips of forest or wooded hills (Metzgenberg, Schwarzer Berg, Legten). In the northern part of the Feldmark , mainly around the Lohberg, there is a wind park with 14 wind turbines. The Lohberg is also the highest point of Wulfelade.

The old town center is located in the Moritzgraben area and south of Wulfelader Straße. To the north of the old town center as far as the "Black Mountain" there is a new building area that was created after the Second World War . It borders on Büren in the north and Evensen in the northeast, and Mariensee is located in the southwest .

history

The first settlers in the area of ​​Wulfelade can be around 750 BC. Be proven with certainty, i.e. in the early Iron Age . You must have stayed there for a long time, as there are relatively many finds from this period. The most famous site is the "Black Mountain" northeast of Wulfelade. It consists of three burial mounds , almost half of which have been removed by clearing stumps . The remaining burial mounds show clear basin-like depressions as traces of earlier robbery excavations , which have destroyed many archaeologically significant finds. "Grave robbers" often destroyed urns , which were earlier clay pots. On May 27, 1915, three early Iron Age urns of the Harpstedter Rauhtopf type , which are attributed to the Harpstedt-Nienburger Group , were recovered . In the 1950s and 1960s, more urns were found in the “Black Mountain”.

Another burial mound is located on the boundary of Büren, but has been severely disrupted by game . Several urns were also found in the “Metzgenberg”. At the turn of the 20th century, early Iron Age urns and several stone axes were found on today's road to Büren, but these were "lost". Here, too, several urns were destroyed in further robbery excavations. A stone ax was also found in Trendelmoor, and early Iron Age urns in “Laying”.

middle Ages

The area of ​​today's Wulfelades belonged to the settlement area of ​​the Saxons in the early Middle Ages . The Engern tribe lived here . At this time (600–700) the first settlement centers emerged in the Neustädter Land.

After the conquest by the Franks coming from the west under Charlemagne (772–804), the previously "pagan" area was forced to become Christian . Dioceses and monasteries were founded for this purpose . The most important Saxon monastery of this time was the Corvey Monastery, founded in 822 on the Weser . A baptistery was built in Mandelsloh in 880.

First documentary mentions

Some sources assume that Wulfelade was first mentioned in 1217 under the name "wluelage" or "wluelo". Wulfelade belonged to the parish of Mandelsloh at that time .

However, there is apparently an earlier documentary mention in the Registrum Erkenberti Corbeiensis Abbatis ( Erkenbert von Homburg was abbot of the Corvey monastery from 1107 to 1128 ). There Wulfelade, Wolvelage , next to Laderholz and Suttorf , is mentioned as the manor of the Corvey Monastery. That is why Wulfelade celebrated its 900th anniversary in 2007.

In another document dated February 2, 1390, the place is called "Wulvelaghe". This document mentions the monastery mill near Wulfelade, which is powered by the line. For this purpose, the river was dammed at a weir . Since the Leine was also used by smaller ships with which merchants from Hanover and Bremen transported their goods, the weir had to be opened when a ship arrived to let it pass. In this document, Hanover undertook to replace any damage that might have occurred at the request of the Mariensee Monastery.

Wulfelade initially belonged to the parish of Mandelsloh (since 880). Until about the Thirty Years War, Wulfelade owned his own chapel , which is said to have fallen victim to a storm surge during a very strong storm . Accordingly, the chapel must have been near the leash. In this chapel, infant baptisms were performed and communion was given to old people . Until 1543, however, Wulfelade had regular church supplies in the Parochial Church in Mandelsloh.

From 1543 the Wulfelader chapel belongs to the parish of Mariensee, founded in 1275, with the associated nunnery.

For the primarily agricultural Wulfelade, fishing was also of great importance in the 15th century , as the place was on the line that was then probably rich in fish. In a document from 1454 it is mentioned that both the provost of Neustadt and the maiden of the monastery had a salmon fisherman in Wulfelade.

In the Calenberg pattern roll of 1585 for "performing the land and hereditary homage and subsequent patterning by Duke Julius of Braunschweig and Lüneburg", the persons listed are divided into farmers, half-spouses, kötner and housewives. For Wulfelade, mentioned in this document as "Wulvelage", 28 persons capable of military service between the ages of 26 and 60 are listed.

Until the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), Wulfelade was unscathed by warlike events. In 1626, Tilly's troops devastated the entire Neustädter area after the victory over Christian of Denmark at Lutter am Barenberge . The plague was also spread and so the population decreased in many villages, some villages became so-called desolations .

Linen puncture

Wulfelade used to be in the immediate vicinity of the line. This changed when the leash was finished with the puncture in 1789. At Basse , the rivers approached the Leine to about 400 meters, the Leine practically "bowed" past Wulfelade. In 1780 it was decided to shorten the course of the line at Basse by planning a puncture. When it was completed in 1789, it is said to have been the ship of a Bremen merchant that crossed the new river bed.

The river bed, which was shut down by the breakthrough, was filled with earth and partially turned into meadows. The Hagener Bach still flows partly in the old river bed of the Leine past Wulfelade and flows into the Leine at the “Wulfelader Wehr”.

Before the line was pierced, the traffic at Wulfelade was directed via a ferry , which, however, only carried people. If you wanted to cross over with a car, you had to use the larger ferry at Basse. There was another ferry between Mandelsloh and Helstorf .

Incorporations

On March 1, 1974, Wulfelade was incorporated into the town of Neustadt am Rübenberge.

coat of arms

In 1988, Wulfelade received its own village coat of arms under the leadership and based on a design by the local architect Elisabeth Hinkes-Wollborn . In 1989, after two years of planning, the citizens of Wulfelad were able to receive their coat of arms.

Blazon : "In gold over a green shield base separated by a wave cut , a black , red- armored wolf's head ."

Reasons for the coat of arms: The wolf's head is supposed to represent a symbol for the place name. Contrary to the assumption that the meaning lies between wolf forest and wolf camp, researchers have recently considered the possibility that the first two syllables could be an old Low German word meaning arch or hip. Thus Wulfelade would be a settlement lying on a bump in the ground. The golden background of the wolf is an indication of the intensive agriculture that is still practiced in Wulfelade and indicates the yields of the soil, the "gold" of the earth. The green base of the shield symbolizes the hilly landscape with its fields, forests and meadows between the Geest and the marsh . The black wave cut should remind us of the old line that flowed close to Wulfelade until 1789.

Buildings

• The old Wulfelader Fährhaus still stands today, it was formerly yard No. 25. This Fährhaus also housed an inn and next to the house a bowling alley. If you drive along Moritzgraben in the direction of Marsch, the half-timbered house is on the right-hand side of the road, where it goes over a dirt road to Basse. The former residents of this farm operated the ferry before 1789. In a document from 1786 Ludwig Lammers is referred to as a ferryman and fisherman. The bridge over the Hagener Bach in the old Leinebett, not far from the old ferry house, is still called “Lammers' Bridge” today.
• The Waldbad Wulfelade is an open-air pool run by an association .
