The St. Johannes community center from 1974/75 was located at Albrecht-Dürer-Straße 1; it was de-dedicated in March 2012 to make way for the new building of the diaconal-church center St. Johannes, completed in 2015, among other things . In 1976, the St. Johannes Protestant day-care center was set up next to it.

Other Evangelical Lutheran churches are located in localities incorporated into Wunstorf, such as the Sigward Church in the Idensen district . The Romanesque church, built around 1130, still has the Romanesque painting from the time it was built and the oldest bell in Lower Saxony.

The hospital church, built in 1885, is located in the row of buildings of the KRH Psychiatrie Wunstorf on Südstrasse.

coat of arms

The design of the coat of arms of Wunstorf comes from the chairman of the former Verkehrs- und Werbevereins e. V. Werner Schwippert and from which in Isernhagen born and later in Hannover living heraldry and crest painter Gustav nations , which includes the coat of arms of Großburgwedel , Melle village , Wennebostel and many other towns has designed.

  • The approval of the coat of arms was granted on June 3, 1957 by the Lower Saxony Minister of the Interior .
  • The city of Wunstorf, newly formed by law on March 1, 1974, took over the coat of arms of the previous city of Wunstorf, which was approved by the district president in Hanover on April 26, 1974.
Wunstorf coat of arms
Blazon : "In blue , a silver castle with open Tortüren and two pointy roofed towers , which of them right shape and with a quatrefoil decorated, the left is round and pierced by two windows. Between the towers there is a striding, crowned , red - tongued , golden lion who onlytouchesthe battlements of the wall with his back paws. "
Justification for the coat of arms: The right tower with a crenellated wreath and quatrefoil window indicates the city ​​or market square church tower , the left one with the tall and narrow arched openings, on the other hand, indicates the collegiate church . This expresses that the monastery and the city were companions for today's Wunstorf. The lion above the battlements is the symbol of the Counts of Roden- Wunstorf, who once exercised jurisdiction in the city. The coat of arms was designed based on a seal imprint of the "Burgensium in Wunstorpe" in the Hanover State Archives from 1311 and replaces the coat of arms of the city of Wunstorf, which was kept until 1957.

Buildings

  • Town hall, Südstraße 1. The old town hall, originally located next to the former Ratskeller, was demolished in 1870. In 1904, the new building, which still exists today, was built on the corner of Südstrasse in Romanized forms. The gables and the corner turrets show Gothic forms.
  • Ratskeller , Lange Straße 12. The former Ratskeller was built in its current form around 1520/21. However, the oldest parts of the two-storey half-timbered building with a gable roof date back to 1501. In the cellar area, a barrel-vaulted room has been preserved, which was probably built in the 14th century. In 1735 an extension was built for the Wunstorf city bailiff, who received an official residence here. This was demolished in the course of the renovation carried out from 1987 in favor of a plastered new building. The massive pillars on the long side were built in in the 19th century to give the building additional stability.
  • Former abbey (city library), water breeding 1. The two-storey half-timbered building was dendrochronologically dated to 1518. In 1710 the roof was changed and the ridge rotated 90 degrees. The side extension also dates from this time. During the renovation carried out in 1985–1987, the roof was given its previous orientation, and the original steep gables were reconstructed.
  • The immediate vicinity of the collegiate church is still shaped today by the buildings of the former monastery :
    • Stiftsstrasse 5 (pastor's house). Two-storey half-timbered house with a gabled middle section, end of the 18th century
    • Stiftsstrasse 5a (parish widow house). Half-timbered hall house , marked 1584. The Utlucht was only added later. Around 1800 the building was lengthened three times.
    • Stiftsstrasse 7 (rectory). Two-storey half-timbered building with a hipped roof, dated 1664.
    • Stiftsstraße 10. The single-storey wall stud house was built in the first half of the 16th century. In the 19th century it was used as a gardener's house after a renovation.
    • Stiftsstraße 11 , dendrochronologically dated 1628.
    • Stiftsstrasse 14–16 (old shop). Eaves half-timbered building with brick decoration, the core of the 17th century
  • Town houses. Lange Straße was once lined with gable-end half-timbered buildings, of which only a few have survived after demolition and renovation measures. In many cases, the ground floors have been changed to include shop fittings. In recent times there have been significant interventions in the historical structure of the building: in 2009, the former Kruse furniture store (Lange Straße 52), a stately half-timbered house with a multi-projecting gable from 1687, was demolished and replaced by a new store (C&A). In the autumn of the following year, the Herborth house (Lange Straße 36, "Altstadtgrill"), one of the oldest houses in the city (core of the 16th century), disappeared. In the meantime, the historically interested visitor to the city is hardly able to understand the original structural situation of this important street, especially since other half-timbered houses are in ruins and are threatened with demolition.
    • Long Street 13 . The half-timbered gabled house was built in the second half of the 16th century. The rear building shows the remains of a hall with a cellar.
    • Lange Straße 15 , marked 1604.
    • Lange Straße 17. Half-timbered gabled house, marked 1534. The ground floor was changed by adding shop fittings.
    • Stiftsstraße 2. The two-story half-timbered building with a half-hipped roof was built in the 18th century using older timber from the 16th century. The roof structure, which was also reused, was dendrodated in 1525/26.
  • Noble courts. The area south and north of Long Street was originally reserved for the aristocratic courts. Recently, this area, which was only loosely built up and characterized by larger open spaces, was heavily redesigned. Only three of the courtyards have survived:
    • At the watermill 2 (Adelshof von Haus) . Simple two-storey half-timbered building with a high hipped roof, probably built before 1800.
    • Mittelstrasse 3 (Lenthescher Burgmannenhof, today "Hotel am Burgmannshof"). The half-timbered hallway house, which essentially dates from the 16th century, was expanded on the eaves side towards the end of the 18th century and in 1911 was partly massively renewed. By 2009 the building was extensively renovated and converted into a hotel. In the course of the construction work, the masonry was largely replaced and the side extension increased.
    • Stiftsstraße 12 , the Hollesches Haus (also called Röbbigsturm) was built for the ducal colonel Johann von Holle after a fire in 1569. As a three-storey residential tower, it is the oldest secular stone building in Wunstorf and served as the monastery granary in the 19th century and as Wunstorf town hall from 1883 to 1907.
