Böstlingen was first mentioned in a document in the register of income from Celle Castle from April 7, 1378 to March 9, 1379. In 1438 three farms from Böstlingen are listed in the Celle treasury . The first documented message from Fahrenholz can be found in Hans Sudendorf's document book . Here it is mentioned that in the fiefdom register of Luthard von Meinersen around 1226 Fahrenholz is recorded as " uoreholte ". Pröbsten is first mentioned in a document on December 21, 1337 in the document book of the St. Johannis Walsrode monastery . The documents of the monastery archives show that there was once a noble family " of probes ". In 1563 the three villages are summarized in the population register of the Principality of Lüneburg under the name " Varenholter Buirskop ".
The three villages also formed a school community. They had a row school since around 1750 . In 1823 a school house was built. It was initially built in the manner of a smoke house , i.e. without a chimney. That was added later in 1874. Until 1850, an average of 60–70 children went to school in Böstlingen. The number fell steadily year after year. In 1926 there were only 23 school children left.
For centuries the heather farmers lived from the Schnuckenkeeping. It was not until the 19th century that the Ortstein was broken down and arable soils were cultivated, the marl was discovered, and artificial and green manures appeared, that the heather sheep keeping moved into the background. (see development of agriculture in the Heidmark )
The earth cellars that were located in Böstlingen are described as remarkable in lore.
In the course of the establishment of the Bergen military training area , the resettlement of the population and the evacuation of the entire area took place from summer 1935 to May 1936. The farm owners were compensated, the buildings were mostly demolished. (see Heidmark # Destruction of the Ostheidmark in the time of National Socialism ). The total size of the municipality was 1111 hectares , of which 1066 hectares fell into the military training area.
