history

Foundation of Bechtsbüttel

Bechtsbüttel is one of the villages that end in -büttel and the exact time it was founded is controversial. The latest publications assume a founding phase in the 11th to the 15th century. Bechtsbüttel is first mentioned in 1196 as Berthisbutl in the deed of Heinrich zu Rhein , the eldest son of Heinrich the Lion . According to this document, the village belonged to the St. Cyriakus monastery . In 1418 the village was transferred to the Riddagshausen monastery , to which it was subject to interest until the 19th century. In the deed of ownership, however, the place is described as a "desolate village" so that it can be assumed that the place had fallen desolate and was repopulated at a later date. However, there are no precise documents about these dates. During the renaturation of the Beberbach, an old boundary stone was found on the southern edge of Bechtsbüttel, which demarcated the Duchy of Braunschweig from the Kingdom of Hanover. There are other stones on the Waggum – Abbesbüttel cycle path, which runs east along the gravel pit, and south of the Bockelsberg on the edge of the Bechtsbütteler Krühgarten. A historical description of the boundary can be found in the 1824 recession.

Incorporation

On March 1, 1974, Bechtsbüttel was incorporated into the community of Meine. Part of the place was reclassified to Braunschweig.
