Oldau, now a district of the municipality of Hambühren in the Celle district, was first documented in 1378 as "Oldowe." The name is derived from the Old Saxon word "Aue," referring to the fertile, wet river landscape along the Aller River. The village has a long history dating back to the early Middle Ages. Due to its location in a floodplain and proximity to the river, it was already a favored settlement area in prehistoric times. In the 20th century, Oldau experienced significant changes due to potash mining and industrialization. The Oldau hydroelectric power station was built in 1909/10 and played a central role in the region's energy supply. The Aller canalization, carried out from 1908 to 1919, also shaped the village. The construction of a train station in 1903 better connected Oldau to the surrounding region. Oldau remained part of the municipality of Oldau until its incorporation on January 1, 1970, and was then incorporated into Hambühren. Today, the village is known primarily for its historic hydroelectric power plant and the charming floodplain landscape surrounding the village.

The Stechinelli Chapel in Wieckenberg is a worthwhile stop for cyclists interested in history and culture. Built between 1692 and 1699 as the private chapel of the Welf court banker Stechinelli, it appears simple on the outside but surprises with its Baroque splendor on the inside – including an ornate altar, painted ceilings, and a wooden baptismal angel. As a stop on the Way of St. James, it offers a tranquil place to pause on your bike tour.

Potash mining played a significant role in Ovelgönne at the beginning of the 20th century. Between 1906 and 1926, potash (potassium salt) was mined here in the Prinz Adalbert shaft – an important raw material for the production of fertilizers. A key technical tool was the so-called "mine dog," a small mine cart used to transport the mined rock underground. The name comes from miners' slang and has been preserved to this day. Today's Ovelgönne, a district of Hambühren, developed from the former miners' settlement. Mining shaped not only the economic but also the social development of the region. Even today, monuments, such as the exhibited mine cart bearing the miners' greeting "Glück Auf!" (Good luck!), commemorate this era and vividly bring to life the history of potash mining in the Aller-Leine Valley.
