geography
location
Bad Bevensen is located in the east of the Lüneburg Heath on both sides of the Ilmenau River . The Elbe Lateral Canal runs east of the city .
City structure
The towns of Gollern , Groß Hesebeck , Jastorf (eponymous for the Iron Age Jastorf culture ), Klein Bünstorf , Klein Hesebeck , Medingen , Röbbel , Sasendorf and Seedorf belong directly to the city .
history
A burial mound near Klein Bünstorf from the early and middle Bronze Age between 1500 and 600 BC indicates an early settlement of the area . BC, the 59 burial mounds of which are located in the "Flur Kleinkiebitzmoor". Nearby, the Iron Age house plans of Klein Bünstorf were discovered and excavated on the bank terrace of the Ilmenau . The bronze bucket from Sasendorf dates back to the Roman Empire.
The city is said to have been known as a resting place for traveling traders since 763. A wooden church belonging to the archdiaconate in Verden (Aller) has been handed down from the year 830 . In 1162 a Werendagus de Bevenhusen, possibly a ministerial , is listed as a witness in a document of Henry the Lion . At times, a castle in the village is said to have served as a fortress against the Slavs .
The Bevens Guild was founded in 1220 as a protective guild and vigilante group and, with a brief interruption of public activities during the occupation, continues its activities in secret, as a shooting sports club to this day. It is therefore one of the clubs with the longest history in the world.
From the Suderburg church accounts: On the Thursday before Laetare , it was March 14, 1588, the Suderburg church was broken into, money and goblets were stolen. The burglars were caught. One was brought from life to death by bike in front of Ebstorf monastery and the other in front of Bevensen .
On August 31, 1762, a large fire struck the community of Jastorf near Bevensen. Most of the place, namely 37 buildings, was burned to ashes within two hours.
On Tuesday, November 5th, 1811 (it was French time ), a fire broke out in a small thatched house (today a garden triangle at 6 baker's aisle ). The likely cause was a light that set fire to flax that was being stored and processed in the house. The fire spread quickly to the neighboring houses, which were also thatched. A total of 25 houses and 22 outbuildings were destroyed. The church and the tower as well as the two schoolhouses (the parish hall) burned down. On November 25, 1811, at the request of the canton and town mayor Koch (at the head of the cantons and towns there was a French model - also referred to as a "mayor" in the German-speaking world), the preparatory work for the reconstruction was decided. District master builder Mithof ( Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Mithoff ?) And building manager H. Ulrichs worked out the plans. Tile roofing and chimneys were made mandatory. Wide, straight paths were planned. Appeals from Bevens citizens, who had to cede property for the streets, in writing to King Jérôme Bonaparte , Napoléon Bonaparte's youngest brother , were dismissed. Bad Bevensen still benefits today from the wide streets and paths.
In 1847 Bevensen received a train station on the Hanover – Hamburg rail link .
In 1871 Kaiser Wilhelm I traveled via Bevensen to his hunting ground in the state forest of Göhrde . Since there was no rail connection in Göhrde , the emperor took the train to Bevensen and then changed to a carriage. This event is still played out in Bad Bevensen today.
Kaiser Wilhelm II also went hunting via Bevensen. However, he had more personal contact with the city. Sometimes he had his carriage driven to the house on Markt 13 (today Lüneburger Straße 1) before continuing to hunt via Brückenstraße and Göhrdestraße. The innkeeper Theodor Meyer lived there, who is said to have taught the emperor to swim in his youth. As a thank you, the emperor later gave him a picture with a dedication, which is said to have hung in the inn until the end of the war.
Bevensen has had city rights since 1929, and in the same year Bevensen became a recognized climatic health resort .
The civil engineering and road construction company Ewald Kalinowsky GmbH & Co. KG has had its headquarters in Bad Bevensen since the 1950s .
The spring of the spa was found during oil drilling in 1964 and sold to the city. Since May 12, 1976, the city has had the "bath" in its name after being recognized by the state as a mineral spa and has developed further as a spa town. Numerous clinics and health facilities have settled here and offer a range of products that are specialized in their fields for the rural structure.

- Dreikönigskirche (Evangelical-Lutheran) :
In the place where the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Three Kings stands today, a small Franconian baptistery was built in 833.
Almost 200 years later it was converted into a cruciform church in the Romanesque style, which became Protestant during the Reformation , but had to be demolished in 1734 due to its dilapidation.
The new building of the church did not last long either, as it was destroyed to the ground in a major fire in 1811. The subsequent reconstruction proceeded very slowly, as the financial resources of the community were very scarce at the time. It was not until 1869 that the ev.-luth. Church to be completely restored.
Between 1953 and 1955 the church was extended. A hall of honor was built for the victims of the Second World War . There was also a memorial book in which all the names of the victims from the region were listed. Today the parish belongs to the north region of the parish of Uelzen.
During the morning mass on Christmas Day 1842, the Bevens seven stars of the worshipers lit up the church for the first time . This custom has been preserved to this day. Meanwhile, the worshipers come from far away. Since the guests also want to experience this particularly festive atmosphere, “seven-star services” are now also held on the afternoons of the Advent Sundays.
- St. Joseph Church (Catholic) :
After all Catholic life in and around Bevensen was extinguished as a result of the political and religious consequences of the Reformation, the number of Catholics increased from 1945 onwards due to the influx of expellees from the former eastern regions of the German Reich . Therefore, in 1957 the foundation stone for the cath. St. Joseph Church in Bad Bevensen. The building designed by Josef Fehlig was inaugurated in December of the same year . A parish library and an association of young Catholics were also established . The half-timbered house, which was bought as a parsonage in 1940, was demolished in 1983 because it was dilapidated and replaced by the parish hall that stands in front of the church today.
Today the church belongs to the parish of the Divine Redeemer in Uelzen. The church and rectory are located at Medinger Straße 36 a.
- New Apostolic Church :
After the Second World War, New Apostolic Christians also came to the city. The first services took place in 1946, when the congregation numbered about 20 believers.
The land required for the church was acquired in 1959. Construction was completed in 1964.
In the following decades the congregation of New Apostolic Christians continued to grow, so that in 1992 a building plot was acquired, on which the new larger church was consecrated in 1994 (Am Osterbeck 1). This is still used today for church services and pastoral care etc. a. utilized.
