history

Banteln can prove his minimum age with an imperial certificate. On April 18, 997, Emperor Otto III. the monastery of Essen an der Ruhr, the royal court of Brüggen with the villages of Banteln, Hemmendorf and Lehde. In 1039 the royal court of Brüggen, including Banteln, under King Heinrich III. passed on to the Gandersheim monastery as "Tafelgut" . Around 1200 the gentlemen von Bantelen are named as servants of the Reichsstift Gandersheim. Around 1367 the Lords of Dötzum took their place. In 1409 the Bishop of Hildesheim followed in the feudal lordship . In 1582 the family with Johann von Dötzum died out and Banteln went to Johann von Bennigsen .

In the Thirty Years War , the main Tilly army also devastated Banteln. Johann Lewin von Bennigsen began to rebuild his estates as early as 1629. Towards the end of the Thirty Years War, a school house and a schoolmaster are mentioned in Banteln. In 1675 the Abbess von Gandersheim enfeoffed the Lords of Bennigsen with the right of patronage over the church. In 1791 a fire destroyed a large part of the village. After a brief episode as part of the Kingdom of Westphalia with King Jérome , a brother of Napoleon , Banteln became electoral Hanover in 1813 and in 1815 it belonged to the Kingdom of Hanover . As early as 1853, the place received a stop on the new Alfeld – Hanover railway line . From 1866 the village belonged to the Prussian province of Hanover .

Maybe the name belongs to the Old High German banz . Spanish banda for “strips on a river”, Lower Rhine bande, bende, end for “meadow” appear related . This word only appears in place names. This interpretation is, however, very uncertain and no convincing interpretation has yet been found.

• By resolution of March 28, 1994, the council of the municipality of Banteln corrected the description of the coat of arms from 1939 and redrafted the reasons.

Blazon : “ Heraldic shield divided obliquely on the left by silver and blue ; above a red - armored and tongued black eagle head turnedto the right , below a silver crossbow shaft lying obliquely to the left. "

Foundation of the coat of arms: Banteln is attested several times during the 10th and 11th centuries as the property of the Ludolfingers . In memory of this, an eagle's head is placed in the upper field. The coat of arms of the von Bennigsen family , who once lived in Banteln and from which the Russian Marshal of the Wars of Liberation emerged, was combined with this in the left half . The crossbow shaft is proven in the coat of arms of those von Bennigsen and results from the coat of arms on the mill of Banteln.
