History
The village of Hondelage was first mentioned in documents in 1179. During the early 16th century, the farming village became property of the Imperial abbey Riddagshausen. In 1974, Hondelage, until then part of the disbanded rural district of Braunschweig, was incorporated into the city of Braunschweig and became a city district.
Numerous fossils have been found in the Posidonia Shale of Hondelage, including Ichthyosaurus and Steneosaurus. Hondelagia, an extinct genus of snakefly, is named after Hondelage, the only place it has been found so far.
