Samtgemeinde outline

In the course of municipal reform in 1974 led to a change in internal structure and a modified outer boundary. Part of local government reform was the consolidation of various communities in the course of which arose the present six municipalities. In May 1981, the reincorporation of 1974 separated church Didderse was performed as the last change. The Samtgemeinde today comprises the member communities Adenbüttel, Didderse, My, Rötgesbüttel, Schwuelper and Vordorf. Seat of administration is mine.

Demographic data

After the Lower Saxony State Office for Statistics lived 2005 in Samtgemeinde Papenteich 23.448 people in 6742 buildings with a total of 9550 apartments with an average area of ​​46.3 m per person. Since the founding of the velvet municipality, the population grew steadily, both by a positive natural population development as well as by a positive migration balance. 22.60 % of the population in 2005 were under 18 years old, 6.30 % from 18 to 25 30.50% between 25 and 45, 27.00% between 45 and 64, and 13.60% were 65 years old or older. The unemployment rate averaged 7.7% (men: 6.2%, women: 9.7%). 7698 people regularly commute from the Samtgemeinde out in 1547 ..

By designation of new building areas and a densification center there was a suburbanization during the 1990s. This was facilitated by the geographical location immediately north of the town of Brunswick, close to the industrial city of Wolfsburg and the nearby port to the Federal Highway 2 According to model calculations, the population of the entire Samtgemeinde Papenteich will continue to grow in the coming decades by these factors.

The only seemingly small increase 2005-2013 is due to the " loss of inhabitants " in the statistical adjustment to the Census, in fact, the growth has continued in the trend for the years 1999-2005, mainly by inflows ( construction of new building areas ).

History

The Samtgemeinde Papenteich there in its present form only since 1970. This year, 15 communities joined together and formed the new Samtgemeinde Papenteich. The name Papenteich can be traced back to medieval documents. The earliest forms of the name loud while poppendic or poppendyk. The first part probably refers to a 1165 late Count Poppo.

The previously oldest trace of human life in the area of ​​today's Papenteich is the megalithic tomb found in 1995 Rethen. According to studies of the circular archaeological Office in Gifhorn the grave is dated to about 3000 BC. But this can not be regarded as a regular occupation of the Papenteich.

Have also been proven that early historical times to the present territory of Papenteich a coherent extensive forest area, the royal hunting ground forest Nordwald was. Traversed and surrounded was the Papenteich of several important medieval highways. Outside was the one down the road from Brunswick Okerübergang up in the Hamburg area, the west followed the Okerverlauf, on the other hand along the Schunter in the Altmark region. The Papenteich was crossed by the running to Uelzen and Lüneburg salt road, from which, in part, formed the present-day B4.

The currently known population of the velvet municipality area was carried out in three phases. The oldest settlement group consists of the places My, Rethen, stack ( without form ) and Vordorf, presumably on a clearing island in the North Forest 800 AD were founded before the year. Another group of place-names endings are " rode " and " tan " in and around the Papenteich. The ending indicates a start-up due to the shift of municipal boundaries and the associated move of the grubbing limits. The establishment of these villages is placed approximately in the period of the 9th century. The largest settlement group are the so-called " büttel places ". It is customary to the area sometimes call the " Büttelei ". The language derives büttel research on the North Saxon Bodal. As the youngest settlement group the villages with place names ending be seen " horst ", which refer to a slightly elevated location in a swamp, bog or a humid lowlands.

The political predecessor in Papenteich were the 1318 resulting county Papenteich. This was awarded first by Otto of Brunswick to the counts of Woldenberg as a fief before 1337 Prince of Lüneburg acquired the county Papenteich. 1349/50, there was also in the Braunschweig area to the Great Plague that raged in bad Papenteich.

As the oldest administrative structure in Papenteich apply Gogräfschaften Papenteich, which existed until 1852. Termed Papenteich historic settlement areas were present in area almost twice as large as today's integrated municipality.

Last predecessor of the velvet municipality Papenteich the office was formed in 1852 Papenteich. Made this was from the places of Untergogräfschaft Papenteich.

Culture and sights

Language

Pape Teicher Platt

In the 19th century the daily vernacular was the Pape Teicher Platt. This was documented by the end of the century in the German Linguistic Atlas partially. The Papenteich was considered own small dialect landscape within the ostfälischen Low German. A characteristic feature of this dialect is among other things the long ü instead of elsewhere in the Low German long u: uese Püdel is ut in a Tüge de Lüke rütesüset (Our poodle is in a part of the hatch herausgesaust ). Another dialect feature is, for example, that foreign older persons about the same social standing not Mr. or Mrs., but Unkel and aunt are addressed. Church of language, writing and official language was German high. The Pape Teicher dialect in 1900 is obtained by including in the newspaper contributions from Karl Ahrens from My ( 1868-1937 ). He wrote for many years texts for the weekend supplement of Gifhorner All Newspaper.

The Pape Teicher Platt is particularly protected as part of Low German as a recognized regional language in the context of European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages ​​.

Heinrich Wesche, a native of Hillerse Göttingen scientists, has tried to derive from the Pape Teicher Platt colonization history of Pape pond. The umlaut ü according to Pape Teicher kind find otherwise in similar form in Jutland, North Schleswig and Friesland. A few words admit it except in Papenteich only in North Schleswig. Probably have settled in Papenteich the 5th or 6th century, a tribe from the north, which was responsible with his local foundations for the unique metropolitan - büttel of place names.

During the 20th century the local dialect has declined dramatically. Around 2000 we hear in everyday situations hardly Pape Teicher Platt, often only once or twice a year and thus far less than, say, Italian, Turkish or Russian. The language is probably still completely dominated by a few hundred people, but also many of them speak in everyday high German. The number of those who understand the dialect or occasional use single words and phrases, is significantly higher. In the cultural life of the dialect will be maintained, for example, by local author Karl- Otto Dohrendorf and events Samtgemeinde library. There currently is almost no transfer of dialect to children, there is the possibility that he dies out in the 21st century.

Regional High German

Although the Papenteich was last heavily influenced by immigration ( for example, the population has of My since 1939 has roughly quadrupled ), says about half of the population a more or less strong local colored high German with Braunschweiger and Pape Teicher elements, such as a so-called clear a and a soft G at the end of a word: Aantracht Braunschwaach example, stands for the football club Eintracht Braunschweig. About 200 Low German words are used in the otherwise highly colloquial German, but not all equally often.

Attractions

Megalithgrab by Rethen

The megalithic tomb of Rethen is a 1995 found megalithic grave, which has been dated to about 3000 BC. It involves a dysfunctional system that was oriented in an east-west direction.

Economy and infrastructure

Traffic

1928, the Mittelland Canal was built through the area of the later Samtgemeinde. The places Abbesbüttel, Wedelheine and Wedesbüttel are located right on the canal. The cycle path Brunswick-Lüneburg crosses the area of the velvet municipality in south-north direction over Abbesbüttel, My, Ohnhorst and Gravenhorst, mostly on well-maintained paved roads away from motorized traffic.

Road

The Samtgemeinde is opened for road traffic in north-south direction across the B 4 (Braunschweig -Lüneburg ) and in west-east direction through the L 321 ( Peine- Wolfsburg). Due to the current lack of bypasses, the current population and an increase in traffic and since January 2005 the use of toll-free B 4 and L 321 by the heavy traffic is a considerable burden for the crossed places found. The B 4 in Papenteich also represents the major transport connection to the city Gifhorn ( middle center ) and combines them with the A 2 and the City of Braunschweig (upper center ). This results in the heavy traffic of the B 4 in the region of about 21,000 Papenteich vehicles daily (2000 ), including about 14-18% trucks (as of 2006). The discussion on traffic volumes, traffic calming and possible bypasses has long been dominant theme of local politics. The extreme south of the velvet municipality is striped close Schwuelper and Walle of the A 2 motorway.

Expansion and renovation of federal highway 4 in the region Papenteich

The county plans to Gifhorn B 4 remodel in the range between Gifhorn and Braunschweig in coordination with the Lower Saxony Road Administration. Among the measures envisaged include a relocation of the route to bypass the villages of My Wood, My, Rötgesbüttel and Ausbüttel as well as a four-lane expansion. What is needed is a change in the current situation by further increasing traffic ( predicted 25,000 vehicles per day in 2015 ).

Already in 1990 led the Lower Saxony Road Administration through the first investigations on installation, but these could not finish because the state of Lower Saxony did not take up the plan in its transport plan. In 1993, the county Gifhorn planning at their own expense, and led in 1994 by a first application conference. 2001, the planning was transferred to the special purpose association Greater Brunswick, which opened the regional planning process in early 2002 and published. After checking the total of 59 written submissions from different points was 2004, the state planning statement, which called a new route running east Vordorf, west and east My Rötgesbüttel and Ausbüttel with a length of 13.9 km, the spatial and environmentally friendly. In advance, several citizens ' groups were involved in the planning. In Rötgesbüttel a citizens' initiative called the bypass of the town. In My existed two large membership groups: one aimed at a western bypass, the other against an eastern bypass of the town. At the public hearing date in My attended by about 600 citizens in part, a considerable number of my citizens also traveled to the deliberations of the local authorities, for example the Gifhorner County Council, in order to make there (including with posters ) attention to their views.

Rail transport

The railway Brunswick- Uelzen crosses the velvet municipality in north-south direction parallel to the main road 4 There is a railway station in My and a breakpoint in Rötgesbüttel. , S2 ( My - Schoeppenstedt ) and S10 ( Sass Castle Triangle - Goslar ) - In the planning of the regional light rail Braunschweig stops My and Rötgesbüttel in the routes of the lines S1 ( Bad Harzburg Uelzen ) are planned and are part of the core range.

Education

Schools (for example: Rethen ) in the various municipalities and districts already existed for centuries. In the 20th century, however, found an ever-greater concentration on a few campuses instead of what was reinforced by the construction of the school center My in the 1960s. Only since the mid-1990s can be seen through the construction of new schools in other communities ( Schwuelper, Adenbüttel ) a reversal of this trend. Secondary schools are located in the school center My junior high school and high school My My with the branch United Schwuelper for cohorts 5 and 6

For many decades, there is also the discussion of a grammar school as the third high school in the district Gifhorn to settle in the Papenteich. Currently, the students of the secondary school usually go to school in Wenden, but partly also to the high schools in Gifhorn. Meanwhile, there are efforts by the national church to build an evangelical school in my. Both county and the Samtgemeinderat support this proposal now. Out of the grammar school 5th and 6th grade is only taught in the former part of the orientation stage in the school center, where the Lessinggymnasium Braunschweig- Wenden has a branch.
