Voxtrup
Voxtrup is a district in the south-east of Osnabrück, Germany, with a population of roughly 7,000 residents. It is home to the Evangelical Margaretenkirche and the Catholic St. Antonius Kirche. History Voxtrup was first mentioned in records in 1088; however the earliest record only survives in the form of a transcription from the 14th century. It contains a legal notice stipulating that a nobleman named Eberhard was to transfer possession of an estate in Bevern to bishop Benno II in return for a payment of three pounds; its land would become part of the grounds of the Iburg monastery. The transaction was ultimately completed after the death of Benno, under his successor, Bishop Markwart. The case was heard at a place named “Vockestorp”. The court in Voccastorp (as it was named in a record dated 1090) was presumably located on the Mahlbrink around the area of the Gelshorn estate (today the Waldhof estate). Today’s Voxtrup finds its origins in the farming settlements of Mole ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

There are roughly 13,300 people in Schinkel. The name Schinkel is possibly a reference to the flank-like (''Schenkel'') form of the Schinkelberg (Schinkel Hill); however the exact meaning and origin of the name are unknown.

Colloquially and among local residents, the district tends to be referred to as “der” (the) Schinkel.

Prehistory
Prehistory, also known as pre-literary history, is the period of human history between the use of the first stone tools by hominins 3.3 million years ago and the beginning of recorded history with the invention of writing systems. The use of symbols, marks, and images appears very early among humans, but the earliest known writing systems appeared 5000 years ago. It took thousands of years for writing systems to be widely adopted, with writing spreading to almost all cultures by the 19th century. The end of prehistory therefore came at very different times in different places, and the term is less often used in discussing societies where prehistory ended relatively recently. In the early Bronze Age, Sumer in Mesopotamia, the Indus Valley Civilisation, and ancient Egypt were the first civilizations to develop their own scripts and to keep historical records, with their neighbors following. Most other civilizations reached the end of prehistory during the following Iron Age. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
