History
Until the early 19th century, the territory of the district belonged to
Brunswick-Celle, Brunswick-Wolfenb??ttel, and the Bishopric of
Hildesheim. After 1815, both Brunswick-Celle and Hildesheim belonged to
the Kingdom of Hanover. In 1866, Hanover fell to Prussia. The Prussian
administration established districts (Kreise) in 1885, among them Peine.
The region has a smelting tradition, the associated mining tradition
lasted until 1976 when the last existing mine was closed. One of the
best known events in local history was the mining disaster of Lengede in
1963, when 29 miners died and 11 miners were rescued two weeks after the
incident.
Geography
The district comprises the space between the cities of Hanover and
Braunschweig. The Fuhse river enters the district in the south, runs
through the town of Peine and leaves northwards to Celle.

Maybe you are not aware, because you have not traced your family roots.
Others have.

Hello does anyone know where exactly this town is located in Germany? I
am seeking information on my great grandparents.Louisa Pein sailed for
New York in 1928 with two toddlers Ida and Hermann.She was a 28 year old
widow traveling with her babies to meet a friend in America.I am at a
total dead end as far as where she or her husband were born.Do not know
his first name.May have been Hermann also.She settled in Secaucus New
Jersery.Her young boy Hermann grew up married a woman named Anna Hess
and they had four sons and three daughters that grew to adulthood and
married and had children also.
Family lore tells me that the name was changed originally from Von Pein
or Von Peine.Any help in this area would be so appreciated.I am wearing
out a path to the LDS Family History Center in my town!
Thankyou

My fathers name was Robert Pein. My mother and my father visited the
village of Peine in Germany, also. This is the village that my fathers
family came from. I believe that my fathers family was actually VonPein.
My fathers uncle was Bob Pein who started State Auto in Columbus,
Indiana. My father had two brothers, Jim and Bill and two sisters
Marjorie and Marion. The family lived in Northern Indiana I believe,
Richmond, and settled in Indianapolis. All of my aunts and uncles have
passed away. My uncle Bill has one son, Chuck who lives in Columbus
Indiana. My brothers name is David.

Surnames: Peine, von Pein, Wissman
My heritage is Peine/Von Peine. My great grandfather Wilhelm August
Peine was born in Sachsen/Saxony Germany in April 1866 and came to the
US April 16, 1892 sailing from Liverpool England and arriving via Ellis
Island.
I have visited Peine Germany, which is just West of Hannover. I am told
that this is where the name originated and Von Pein or Von Peine would
support that. Research shows that the name originated in Lower
Saxony.Variations of the name are Peine, Peines, Von Peine, Pein. Some
of the line went to Silesia, Schleswig-Holstein and others to Austria
and others into the Rhine valley. Wilhelm settled in Cleveland, OH. He
married Bernardina Rosa Wissman in Cleveland. She was born December 1874
in Oldenburg Germany. Their son and my grandfather William/Wilhelm
August Peine Jr. lived on a farm in Thompson, Ohio. Does anyone have a
connection in your line to my Wilhelm August Peine?
