history

Harxbüttel was first mentioned (as Herikesgebutle located on a Schunterinsel) along with five other towns ( Melverode , Boast , Stöckheim , Veltenhof and Waggum ) in a charter of Henry II on 24 January 1007. The name part -büttel however, suggests a foundation in Close 9th or 10th century. After changing landlords, including those of Wenden and von Olvenstedt , Harxbüttel came to the St. Blasius monastery in Braunschweig in 1403.

Around 1600 the monastery built a chapter house, the so-called Tempelhof, on the foundations of a donjon, as the abbey bailiff's residence. A glass window of the chapter hall from 1727 is in the Braunschweiger Landesmuseum. The window shows St. Blaise . The Tempelhof was demolished in 1856. After a fire in the middle of the 19th century, the courtyards relocated from the island to the north side of the Schunter due to lack of space. The place developed into an irregular square village .

After the Second World War, a new settlement was created away from the village center due to the settlement of refugee families. Due to the constant building activity, the settlements have grown together today. In 1974, Harxbüttel was incorporated into the city of Braunschweig from the district of Gifhorn , from whose rest of the city it is historically clearly different due to its centuries-long affiliation to Braunschweig-Lüneburg , the Kingdom of Hanover and Prussia .
