History
The Hohne Village History Society (Arbeitskreis Hohner Dorfgeschichte) has researched all records on individual villages in the area and has discovered the earliest record of the place: on Ascension Day in 1313 Bere de Hone inherited the fief of a farm at Hohne from the St. Aegidien Monastery in Brunswick. This monastery was founded before 1115 by Gertrud von Braunschweig, the margravine of Meissen, last heiress of the Brunonen family.

“... in a history of spiritual rupture, a social compact built on fantasy and collective secrets, poetry becomes more necessary than ever: it keeps the underground aquifers flowing; it is the liquid voice that can wear through stone.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“All objects, all phases of culture are alive. They have voices. They speak of their history and interrelatedness. And they are all talking at once!”
