history

The root word of the name -stedt means in Germanic-speaking place , and was in the region long for naming villages in use. The final word of the place name is traced back to the personal name Baduko , which is derived from the Old English beado or beadu and which means something like fight . The place is first mentioned in a document as Batikansteten on July 4th 1109 . Other mentions of the place are from 1174 to 1195 as Badekenstete and from 1353 as Baddekenstede , before 1222 a Henricus de Batechenstede is also mentioned.

In 1275, the Wohldenberg counts, who originally owned all rights in Baddeckestedt, sold Wohldenberg Castle and with it possessions in Baddeckestedt to the Hildesheim bishop Otto.

In 1523, after the end of the Hildesheim collegiate feud, the Brunswick Duke Heinrich the Younger incorporated the Hildesheim large monastery and thus also the office of Wohldenberg with Baddeckestedt into his sphere of influence. The Reformation was introduced temporarily from 1542 to 1547 and finally in 1568 after Duke Julius took office. In 1643 the Duke of Brunswick returned the large monastery to the Bishop of Hildesheim, but without the Oelber Castle and the town of Oelber on the white road , which remained with the Duchy of Brunswick.

In 1802 Prussia annexed the Hildesheim Monastery in the course of secularization, but after its defeat by France in 1806 had to give the area to the newly founded Kingdom of Westphalia . This collapsed in 1813 and the area became part of the Electorate, from 1814 Kingdom of Hanover . As a result of the Austro-Prussian War , Hanover was annexed by Prussia in 1866. In 1941 Baddeckestedt, Wartjenstedt , Binder and Rhene were reclassified from the Prussian district of Marienburg to the Brunswick district of Wolfenbüttel.

In 1974 Baddeckestedt became the administrative seat of the newly created municipality of Baddeckestedt.

On March 1, 1974, the communities of Binder, Oelber on the white road, Rhene and Wartjenstedt were incorporated.

religion

St. Albertus Magnus Church

In the 19th century a Catholic mission house was built in Baddeckestedt, but it was confiscated by the National Socialist rulers in August 1943. When in 1944 Catholic refugees and evacuees from the western part of the German Reich poured into the Free State of Braunschweig , to which Baddeckestedt had belonged since 1941, the Parish Vicarie Ringelheim -Land was founded on December 6, 1944, to which Baddeckestedt was also assigned. In 1956/57 the Catholic Church of St. Albertus Magnus was built next to the mission house, designed by Josef Fehlig . Today the church belongs to the parish of St. Hubertus on the Wohldenberg .
