Tips from the Community

August 29, 2025, Aller River and Hademstorf Oil Pump

Between 1941 and 1970, oil was produced in Hademstorf, a total of around 160,000 tons. The oil lay at a depth of about 1,000 meters and was pumped to the surface using horsehead pumps. During World War II, production rose rapidly from a few hundred tons to over 10,000 tons per year. After the war, Vacuum-Oil AG organized transport, initially via the Aller River, and later by rail. The operation brought many workers to the village and left a strong mark on the community. Today, only the preserved horsehead pumps, the oil bridge, and the workers' houses on the Hansa Dam remain as reminders of this era.

August 8, 2025, Church in Eickeloh

The Old Church of the Holy Cross in Eickeloh was donated in 1296 by the noble von Hodenberg family after several fatal accidents occurred while crossing the Aller River to attend church. It served as a village church until 1868 and was then converted into the burial place of the von Hodenberg family after a new building was constructed. The Gothic brick building features a groin vault in the chancel, a wood-beamed ceiling in the nave, and a largely original oak roof truss dating from 1351. After the church fell into increasing disrepair in the late 19th and 20th centuries, it was extensively restored in the 1990s, during which consecration crosses and pre-Reformation paintings were discovered. Today, it is listed as a historic monument in the Lower Saxony Monument Atlas and is considered a historically significant landmark of the town.

The Hanover Water Tower is a 62-meter-tall, listed former water tower in Hanover, located on Vahrenwalder Straße in the Brink-Hafen district. Upon its completion in 1911, it was considered the largest water tower in Europe.

The church will be renovated until autumn 2025 and therefore cannot be visited.

The old needle weir with a lock is located near Hademstorf. At one point (in the upper water of the lock) you can still clearly see the ramps for the old ferry; this was right next to it for a long time and we were even ferried across on it in the 80s. Over the Hansa Dam and the old oil bridge you pass 2 horse-head pumps (one is somewhat hidden at the level of the visible pump in a path about 200 m away).

Every change of use for nature makes sense... create habitats instead of reducing them... keep it up!
