history

The village of Bargfeld was first mentioned in 1065. It has belonged to the political municipality of Eldingen since January 1, 1973 and with this to the joint municipality of Lachendorf in the district of Celle .

On the southern edge of the town center there is a more than four hundred year old linden tree. Bargfeld is part of the Südheide Nature Park .

From 1953 to 1967 Bargfeld had its own elementary school. It is approached every fortnight by the mobile library of the district of Celle.

The club Einigkeit Bargfeld , founded in 1891, organizes its multi-day Faslam every February with a costumed pageant through the village and social events. Every year in late autumn, the Bargfeld Volunteer Fire Brigade, founded in 1934, organizes its Bargfeld torch and lantern parade with music for children and parents. It is involved in the district fire brigade of the district of Celle.

The sculptor Gotthelf Schlotter (1922–2007) lived in Bargfeld from 1945 to 1951 and then returned to the house he built there. His bronze sculpture The Call of the Cranes has stood at the southern end of the village since 2006 . In 1958, the writer Arno Schmidt (1914–1979) bought the house, which the Reetz couple had built themselves in 1948, through the agency of the painter Eberhard Schlotter , for "almost DM 17,000". He lived and worked here with his wife Alice until 1979 . Their estate is now looked after by the Bargfeld-based Arno Schmidt Foundation , which also maintains a small museum here. The village appears under the names "Hillfeld", "Giffendorf", "Schadewalde" and "Ödingen" in Schmidt's stories and novels published after 1958.

A little outside of town is the antiquarian bookshop, Das Bücherhaus , which specializes primarily in Arno Schmidt and Karl May .
