Städtepartnerschaften
Die Tradition der Städtepartnerschaften reicht bis ins Jahr 1961 zurück. Die ehemals
selbstständige Stadt Misburg unterstützte umfassend diverse Austauschprogramme zur
Förderung internationaler Beziehungen. Der Stadt Misburg wurde dafür die Europafahne
verliehen.
In der ehemaligen Gemeinde Anderten entwickelte sich ab 1969 eine Partnerschaft nach Oissel-
sur-Seine, Departement Rouen in Frankreich.
Seit 1981 werden die Städtepartnerschaften durch den Stadtbezirk Misburg-Anderten gepflegt:
Shepton Mallet - Großbritannien 1961
Bollnäs - Schweden 1961
Oissel-sur-Seine - Frankreich 1969
Flekkefjord - Norwegen 1970
Kankaanpää - Finnland 1970 (Partnerschaft ruht)
Morsø (Nykøbing) - Dänemark 1970 (Partnerschaft ruht)
Your Twin Town Misburg-Anderten
A short history, its flag and city coat of arms
First named in an official document of 1365 as MUDZBORCH,
a fortification surrounded by muddy moorland and which was abandoned in 1525.
In 1585 7 farms were listed. By 1800 the village had increased to 18 farms.
In 1843 the village was connected to the Hannover-Braunschweig rail route.
A great leap in development occurred in 1870 with the opening of the first cement plant after
the discovery of the raw material marl, the „gold of Misburg“. With the connection to the
Mittellandkanal (1916) and the opening of the locks at Anderten (1928) the cement
industries became more and more important until Misburg finally had 3 plants.
During the Second World War, in 45 allied bomber raids, about 40.000 bombs were
dropped over Misburg, destroying 60 percent of the residences but only 2 percent of the
existing refinery, the main object of the air attacks. At this time Misburg had 8.000
inhabitants.
After the Second World War many refugees from the east came to Misburg. By 1952
Misburg had 11.500 inhabitants. After the establishment of various industries the population
had increased in 10 years to 14.500 people.
In 1964 the community of Misburg gained the rights of an independent city.
In 1974 after the local government reorganization, the city of Misburg was merged with the
capital of the federal state of Lower-Saxony, Hannover, as one of its districts and in 1981
amalgamated with the former community of Anderten to form the Misburg-Anderten district.
Today the population of the Misburg-Anderten district is 31.700 people, with 24.000 citizens
in Misburg and 7.700 in Anderten.
Misburg started its twinning partnerships in the early 1960s.
1961: Shepton-Mallet and Bollnäs/Sweden were the first two communities.
1970: followed Flekkefjord/Norway, Morsø/Danmark and Kankaanpää/Finland.
As part of its efforts to encourage understanding between nations, the European
Community distinguiched Misburg with the „Europa Flag“ in 1972.
Although Hannover has its own twin-towns, Misburg and Anderten (Oissel-Sur-Seine
concluded in 1969) continues to support its partnerships established before 1974.
Needless to say that we are proud of it!
The arms and flag from Misburg date from 1928. They show three chimneys illustrating the
three cement plants and four factories in existence at this time; the green is for the fields
and forest of Misburg, the yellow represents the„gold of Misburg“, the natural resource of
marl and the blue and the waves are for the canal which passes through Misburg.
