history

A stone ax from a burial mound on the Herbstberg suggests that Bödexen has existed since the Stone Age. Bödexen is first mentioned in the Corveyer Traditions . There it says under number 117: Marcbodo and Giki as well as the son Hunwardi in place of the father transferred / donated four farms, two in Bodikeshus (un) and two elsewhere for the salvation of Hoger and that of his father Marcward and his mother Ricsuit . Witnesses: Beuo, Aldmer, Anulo, Wulfger, Pumi and twenty others. The donation was apparently made before the year 836, as the addition ad reliquias sanctorum martirum Stephani atque Viti ... (in the bones of Saints Stephen and Vitus ...) is missing. The Abbey Church in Corvey was consecrated to these saints around 840.

The name Bödexen is of Saxon origin. In the 9th century the name was still Bodikeshusu n (house / courtyard of Bodo). After two centuries it became Bodikessen , the tithe of which the Bishop of Paderborn donated to the Corvey monastery. In 1700 Bodikessen became Böxen on the occasion of a population and building census . Over the course of time this resulted in the current name Bödexen .

On January 1, 1970, Bödexen was incorporated into the district town of Höxter.

Easter egg market

Since 1989, an Easter egg market has been held every year on the last weekend before Easter in the 300-year-old St. Anne's Church . It was the northernmost Easter egg market in Germany at the time, previously the Easter egg market in Witzenhausen near Kassel had this title . In 1990 a group of Sorbian Easter egg makers came . In addition to the Easter eggs, coffee and homemade cake were also offered on the organ stage. In 2016, the development association decided not to hold the Easter egg market in the future.
