Description
Pattensen is an urban municipality in the Hannover region comprising eight boroughs: Hüpede, Jeinsen, Koldingen, Oerie, Pattensen-Mitte, Reden, Schulenburg, and Vardegötzen, plus two additional hamlets. These settlements sit between the Leine River and the Deister hills in a mix of farmland and suburban neighborhoods.
History
The area was first documented in 986, and in the 13th century Count Ludolf II von Hallermund built a castle to control trade routes passing through the region. This strategic position shaped the territory's development for centuries afterward.
