Klein Lengden

Klein Lengden is a village in the Gleichen in the Göttingen district of Lower Saxony, Germany, about eight to ten kilometers south-east of Göttingen. It has about 1300 inhabitants. The village lies in the Garte valley, south of the forested hills of Lengderburg (384 meters a.s.l.) with its Lengdener Burg (castle) and Westerberg (340 meters a.s.l.) and is otherwise surrounded by farm fields. The nearest neighboring villages are Gross Lengden to the east and Diemarden to the west-south-west [ [http://www.klein-lengden.de/ Willkommen auf www.klein-lengden.de ] ] , each of which is about two kilometers distant.

Just outside of the village, on L569, the road to Benniehausen, is the Historische Spinnerei Gartetal (historical spinning works of the Garte Valley). In the late 16th century, a flour mill was erected on the site. In the middle of the following century, a paper mill was added. The Industrial Revolution led to the conversion to a spinnery for flannel and woolen yarn. [ [http://www.historische-spinnerei.de/ Historische Spinnerei Gartetal ] ]
