schningen

Schningen is a city of 13,500 inhabitants (2003) in Helmstedt, Lower Saxony. In its current form, it was created in 1974 by joining the municipalities of Esbeck, Hoiersdorf, and Schningen. The main industry in Schningen is open-cast mining of lignite, which is used for electricity generation in the Buschhaus plant. Both mining and generation are operated by the Braunschweigische Kohlebergwerke AG. The first historical mentioning of Schningen was in 748. In the 14th century, Schningen became a city; at the same time the dukes of Brunswick-Lneburg built a palace here. In archaeology, Schningen is famous for seven palaeolithic wooden spears found in an opencast mine near the town.
