history

The place was probably created in the ninth century. The first documentary mention was made in 1161 as "Alvotesheim", later as "Alvedissen". Around 1204, the Braunschweig patrician family, the Holtnicker, received the tithe of the Alvesser district and also owned an allodial property in Alvesse. In the 15th century, the St. Andrew's Church and the Braunschweiger Neustadt council acquired additional goods.

In 1802 Alvesse had 188 inhabitants in 25 fireplaces. With the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel, Alvesse was incorporated into the Kingdom of Westphalia created by Napoleon in 1807 . After its dissolution in 1813, the place belonged to the Duchy of Braunschweig until 1918 .

In 1810 the Alvesser post mill "Auguste" was built in the southeast of the village. The mill remained in operation until the middle of the 20th century. In 1973 the windmill was dismantled and rebuilt in the Suhlendorf Handicraft Museum in the Uelzen district . Elaborately restored, it has been there again since 1999 in a grindable condition.

In 1875 the skeleton of an aurochs ( Bos primigenius ) was found in the peat bog of the Dummbruchgraben near Alvesse . It was one of the most complete skeletons ever found and one year later it was in the holdings of the Natural History Museum in Braunschweig.

After the Hildesheim – Braunschweig railway was put into operation , Alvesse became a stop on the railway line in 1888 and was given a train station, which was closed in 1982.

Alvesse's assignment to the Braunschweig district and its status as an independent municipality ended on March 1, 1974 as part of the regional reform of Lower Saxony .

In 2015, the third festival in the series of events "Jazz im Park" took place in the park of the Alvesse manor, an event organized by the Braunschweigische Landschaft and the Braunschweigischer Kulturbesitz Foundation in a different park in the Braunschweig area .

Villagescape

St. Nicolai Church Alvesse

Alvesse lies on a flat bump in the ground between the river Aue and the Dummbruchgraben . The place has retained its village character, although many of the residents of the village now mainly pursue their purchases in the regional center of Braunschweig or in the nearby industrial area in the Salzgitter area .

The Alvesse manor was established in the second half of the 19th century and is located in the south of the village. The mansion was built in a simple, post-classical style in a three- hectare park. The park is privately owned and not open to the public.

The Dummbruchgraben and its adjacent parts of the landscape have been protected landscape areas since 1984 .
