geography

Böddenstedt is located between Hamburg and Hanover in the middle of the Lüneburg Heath . The Stahlbach ( Stalbeke in Low German ), which flows into the Hardau near Holxen - is fed by the Böddenstedter Aue that rises in Bahnsen and the Wehrbach that rises in the moor - flows through the town on the southern edge from west to east, operated the water mill until 1970 and is thereby used by fish ponds and rather flatter meadows and pastures . To the northwest extends the 398  ha large nature reserve Mönchbruch .

history

It is not known exactly when the first people settled in Böddenstedt. Numerous urn finds and barrows from the Older Bronze Age (around 1600 BC) as well as a small bowl stone in the center of the village (around 800 BC), however, indicate an early settlement.

middle Ages

Böddenstedt was first mentioned as villa budenstide in 1197 AD in the Bremen document book. Other spellings were Bodenstide (1226), Bodenstede (1233) and Boddenstede (1594). The existence of a water mill has been documented since 1200 . In the 13th and 14th centuries, the noble family of the Knights of Böddenstedt flourished here . In 1322, for example, the brothers and knights Otto, Werner and Gebhard Grote acquired a farm and feudal rights in Böddenstedt from the squire Heinrich von Böddenstedt , while those of Meltzing sold a Wüsthof with a forest portion and a ton of beer to Dietrich and Heinrich von Böddenstedt in 1358 .

When the plague raged in the Hanseatic city of Uelzen in 1550 and a quarter of the city's population died, Heinrich von Meltzing, then captain of Bodenteich , put official scales in the pest-free villages of Böddenstedt and Suderburg (actually a city privilege). Since both places were on the important military road from Hamburg to Braunschweig ( Hessenkarrenweg ), regional trade was concentrated in these two places for almost twenty years. Only in 1569 was the hustle and bustle put to an end at the request of the now plague-free city of Uelzen by the dukes Heinrich and Wilhelm von Braunschweig-Lüneburg . At that time, Böddenstedt consisted of eleven full yards , three half yards and eight cottages . In Böddenstedt there was also a wooden court ( Holting tho Boddenstede ), whose task was to regulate local legal matters and which, according to the official register of 1569, extended to the places Gerdau , Holthusen , Bargfeld , Bohlsen , Bahnsen and the Klintmühle near Groß Süstedt .

Modern

In 1815, Böddenstedt applied for a link to be carried out, which was implemented starting in 1818 with a special division (definition of the boundaries with neighboring towns). On March 17, 1818, Gustav Uffenorde was entrusted with the common division (division of pastures, meadows and arable land) and coupling at the request of the municipality of Böddenstedt. The surveying and mapping of the village took place over the next 3 years by Ernst Ludewig. He created a map by 1823 in which the state before the coupling as well as the plan after the coupling are drawn. A copy of this map is in the possession of the Böddenstedt village community.

Until the liberation of the peasants in the Kingdom of Hanover in 1831/33, the Böddenstedter Höfe belonged to various landlords, to whom they were subject to duty and service. These included the Counts of Schwerin , those of Estorff , von der Wense and von Weyhe.

Since the end of the 18th century, several handicraft businesses opened in Böddenstedt, such as the Stellmacherei Drögemüller (1774), the joinery Stolte (1802), the blacksmithing Brese (1848), the building business Cohrs (1886) and the carpentry Cohrs / Schenk (1890). The wheelwright Master and churchwardens Heinrich Drögemüller received from the royal Landdrostei 1853 also the "Concession for Landkrämerei " and opened a grocery store . Continue to operate the tenant Gebhard since 1872 a Schank- and Hospitality Services and the Vollhöfner Stolte since 1892 a grain brandy - distiller . In 1894 a post office was opened in the Drögemüller house.

In 1921 a memorial for the twelve soldiers from Böddenstedt who died in the First World War was erected on the outskirts of the village in the direction of Uelzen . The Second World War claimed 26 victims, including dead and missing. In addition, towards the end of this war on April 4, 1945, when British high-explosive bombs were dropped, six villagers and a French prisoner of war who were working in the fields on the southern outskirts of Böddenstedt were killed.

This coat of arms was officially carried by the municipality of Böddenstedt until it was used in the course of the territorial reform It was dissolved in 1972 and incorporated into the Suderburg community.

The mill pond next to the water mill was created around 1895. The four-story mill building from 1911 was converted into a representative residential building in the 1970s. The three hundred year old thatched hall house in the mill road comes from angels and was in the late 1980s after Böddenstedt translocated .
