Because my name is Rautenberg, so of course I am particularly attached to this beautiful place. 😊

Rautenberg is one of nine villages of the Lower Saxon municipality Harsum in the district of Hildesheim. The agricultural town has about 500 inhabitants and is located in the immediate vicinity of the sugar factory Clauen.

The place is located about seven kilometers east of Harsum. There is a good transport connection via the state road 411, which runs through the middle of the village, to the federal highways 1 and 494. The federal highway 7 can be reached via the junction Hildesheim. There is a rail connection in Harsum on the route Lehrte-Hildesheim to Hannover and Hildesheim. To the north, the Bruchgraben flows at the circular border to Peine.

Rautenberg is an old farming settlement, probably from Germanic times. After the village, the knight's race of those named by Rautenberg, after which in turn today's main street, the Rutenbergstraße, has its name. The remains of the castle Rautenberg, which was almost completely destroyed in a fire in the early Middle Ages, are still preserved only in the form of the "Hahnewall" moth hill. A well located there should still be preserved largely original. At the bottom of this fountain some medieval weapons, metro bottles and utensils were found in the 1970s. The lords of Rautenberg remained landlords in Rautenberg until their extinction in 1647, but lived in Hildesheim, in the Rautenbergschen yard on the corner of Michaelisplatz / Langer Hagen, a highly - timbered building, which was destroyed in the air raids on Hildesheim in 1945, and since. Century also at Rethmar Castle.

Rautenberg was incorporated due to the Restructuring Act in the area Hildesheim / Alfeld on March 1, 1974 in the community Harsum.

Rautenberg is an old farming settlement that probably dates back to Germanic times. The family "the Lords of Rutenberghe", who had lived in Rautenberg since time immemorial, had a permanent castle here, but it was destroyed by fire around 1350. The first family member mentioned in a document is a Helmbrecht in 1149. In addition to this knightly family, various monasteries, spiritual monasteries and respected citizens of Hildesheim are named as landowners and feudal lords in Rautenberg.

The crest

We come from Rautenberg,

That's why we wear diamonds on our shields.

She once proudly led a family of knights,

Now we are right to wear them.

The golden diamonds on a black background

They're not in the sign for nothing.

The ground is black and the mowing is golden,

We say this openly and directly.

But we also love the black plaice,

The golden blessings and sprouts,

We bid the laurel and the palm branch,

He who is rich in golden nobleness.

In 1647 the von Rautenberg knightly family died out. It had its headquarters in the village and also owned large amounts of land. Today it is owned by the Rautenberg farming community. That's why she had no hesitation in adopting the Rautenberger Knights' shield as her own coat of arms. On a bright golden field there are two rows of black diamonds running across the shield, five diamonds at the top, three diamonds at the bottom.
