In conversation with Helga Roeddecker
Ahornstrasse is the centerpiece and the oldest street in the district Mittelfeld. The first houses were built there in 1900 by the savings and construction association Wülfel and the surrounding area. Ahornstrasse got its name in 1904, as maple trees were planted on the roadside to beautify the grounds.
The Mittelfeldhe Rüdiger Illmann (†), an active resident of the work group Expo Mittelfeld eV, suggested in 2001 that the maple leaf be used as a symbol for Mittelfeld to use. The colors should be red and yellow - those of the "little outdoors". Historically, the “Little Free” is the community of people in Döhren, Wülfel and Laatzen, the term comes from the 17th century. Even today, the term “little free” is maintained at traditional rifle festivals in the former villages.
Initiatives and working groups voted in the district round for the new symbol for Mittelfeld and so was the 2001 district day Mittelfeldhe hoisted the flag with the maple leaf for the first time. Helga Roeddecker and Karl Roeddecker (†) organized the printing, and the flag was produced in the traditional Hanover flag factory in Mellendorf, which no longer exists in this form.
We would like to thank Helga Roeddecker for taking the time for this interesting conversation. Ms. Roeddecker has lived in Mittelfeld and has been closely associated with the district ever since. Among other things, she is co-founder of the Döhren Wülfel cultural initiative Mittelfeld and has already been involved in numerous initiatives and working groups.
