Location of Behrensen in Lower Saxony

Behrensen is a village in the Northeim district in Lower Saxony ( Germany ), which is incorporated by Moringen . The head of the village is Gerhard Ude.

history

The place name goes back to the Old Saxon personal name Bernheri . In the Middle Ages, Behrensen was in the Leinegau . The written records of the place name are sometimes difficult to assign because there are several similarly named places. The year 1022 is often mentioned as the first written mention of the place, because two forged documents dated this year in the 12th century name a place Beringoteshusen or Bergoteshushen , which in the register of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica on Behrensen, in contrast to the desert Bergoldeshusen in the register of the Monumenta Germaniae Historica on Behrensen near Berwartshausen . Other similarly named places are the desert areas of Bernsen and Bernherssen in the vicinity of Adelebsen. The oldest written evidence that can be reliably assigned comes from the first half of the 13th century and names members of a noble family who named themselves after the place: Theodericus de Berneresheym or de Bernersen and Widikindus de Bernersem or de Bernersen . Theodoricus is mentioned as a member of the Teutonic Order in Bilshausen. A connection with the later verifiable property of the order in Behrensen is assumed. Settlement finds prove the existence of a deserted village north of today's location on the north side of the Ümmelbach in the 15th century. Whether it is an earlier location of today's village, which was then relocated, or whether the settlement area of ​​the village was earlier expanded in this direction and later became a more compact settlement is disputed. At the end of the 18th century, 39 fireplaces are recorded in Behrensen, from 1807 the place was under the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Westphalia , then in 1813 it was run as a Lutheran church village and had 206 inhabitants spread over 36 houses. From 1827 the Moringen-Hardegsen office became tangible and Behrensen was incorporated into the same, with the population increasing to 272 people and the number of houses being 47. By 1939 the number of inhabitants had decreased to 232.

On March 1, 1974, Behrensen was incorporated into the city of Moringen.

The Evangelical Lutheran chapel in Behrensen belongs to the parish of Hevensen-Lutterhausen in the parish of Leine-Solling , is a listed building and stands on the site of an older one from the time before the Thirty Years' War . This old chapel was so dilapidated around 1870 that it was demolished and today's chapel was rebuilt according to plans by Conrad Wilhelm Hase . The execution was carried out by master bricklayer Wenig from Nörten. The small rectangular hall has a retracted choir with a polygonal finish in the east and a conspicuous, central, narrow, round bell tower in the west, which tapers again at the level of the eaves of the chapel hall. The conical roof of the tower, like the entire church, is made of hewn red sandstone. It is enthroned on four slightly profiled pillars, between which the bell hangs, and is crowned by a sandstone cross. The design is characterized by the neo-Gothic style.
