Barnten ( Low German Barinthune, Barenthune, Barenten, Berneten, Bernethen, Berntten, Barndten or Bornden ) is a village in the municipality of Nordstemmen in the district of Hildesheim in Lower Saxony .

history

The village of Barinthune is first mentioned by name in 1149. The village has been called Barenten since 1181 . The current name Barnten is mentioned as early as 1331 and 1380 and probably goes back to the abbot Heinrich von Barnten . In the middle of the 18th century it is said that "Barndten" is a village in "Amte Ruthe", "in Hildesheim Abbey" and a "branch of Sarstedt".

For the territorial reform in Lower Saxony , the previously independent municipality of Barnten was incorporated into the municipality of Nordstemmen on March 1, 1974.

religion

Steeple

The first mention of the Barnten church in the town center comes from the 12th century. The parish has been Evangelical Lutheran since 1542. The church has been called "Katharinen" since 1999. This was chosen by the community after Luther's wife Katharina von Bora , who had her 500th birthday in 1999.

Until 1953 Barnten belonged as a chapel community to the Sarstedt parish of St. Nicolai. On July 1, 1953, it was removed from this relationship and merged with the previous chapel community of Giften to form the parish of Barnten-Giften with its official seat in Barnten.

In 1999 barnts and poisons were separated. Since then, Barnten has had parish ties with the St. Peter and Paul parish in Rössing.

The Katharinengemeinde Barnten (approx. 700 parishioners) maintains the Protestant kindergarten and the cemetery in the village.

coat of arms

The heraldic painter Carl Wenzel from Hanover designed and recommended the coat of arms with the then mayor Bruns from Barnten in 1931. Wenzel created several coats of arms in the Hanover district, such as for the towns of Burgdorf , Ahlten and Bilm .

	Blazon : "In the red shield three golden ears of wheat , covered by a golden bar that iscoveredby three red mill wheels ."
	Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms refers to the archway of the Rössinger Hof in Barnten, which is still well preserved today. Caspar Borcholt left a coat of arms in the archway at the entrance to his estate in Barnten in 1592. The clearest coat of arms was taken from this coat of arms. There were also three ears of corn and the pencil colors of Hildesheim.

In the distance to the right, across this river, you can see the village of Rössing . At the top left, below the legend under the letter H, the village of Barnten is shown, which is listed as Bornden in the legend . Since neither Rossi (under the letter E on the engraving) nor Bornden (letter H) were the usual names for the two villages in the middle of the 17th century, this is an indication that the man from Frankfurt no longer remembered the names exactly when he finished his work of art.
