Village "Hänigsen"

The Village Hänigsen is part of a urban district from Uetze community. It's located approximately 27 kilometer east of Hannover.


Hänigsen was first documented and mentioned in 1226 and was then called "Henighusen" (which meant - site of the tribe Henning). In 1529, the reformation was implemented in Hänigsen.


Here's the direction to the Mill in Hänigser ->






The nickname of Hänigsen is "Kasparland".


Lots of the townsfolks have "Kaspar" as their first name till the middle of 19th Century. That's kind of weird, isn't it?!

This good-old-looking post mill (Bockwindmühle in German) is originated from 1705. This is earliest type of European wind mill.

















I enjoy visiting this small village very much. It has its charm which I can not describe.
