history
Benitz was built as a Rundling . The name comes from Old Slavonic and means something like "place of Ben", where Ben means "slayer of enemies". In the 17th century the place was called Behnsen or Behnßen . In the east of Benitz the mill Gödchen Mühle (also Gätjen Mühle or Gödjen Mühle) was built, which was also used by the farmers from Wendischbrome. In 1872 there was a major fire in Benitz, as a result of which the round structure was largely abandoned and in 1880 the road through the town could be laid. In 1909 the Wittingen – Oebisfelde railway was opened, running west of Benitz. There was also the Benitz-Wiswedel station, which was operated by passenger traffic until 1974. A separate cemetery was set up in 1928 after the burials had previously taken place in Altendorf.
In 1919, 114 people lived in Benitz. In 1939 the number had dropped to 106; by 1950 it rose to 205 because of the influx of refugees. In 1984 the population was 111. In the same year there were eight farms there.
The municipality of Benitz became part of the joint municipality of Brome on July 1, 1965. On March 1, 1974 it was incorporated into the town of Brome and thus on March 15, 1974 part of the newly founded joint municipality of Brome.
