Surrounding towns are Parsau , which is three kilometers east, Tiddische four kilometers southwest, Tülau four kilometers north and Ehra-Lessien five kilometers northeast.

history

The Bergfeld settlement is of Wendish origin and probably dates back to the 6th to 8th centuries. The name Bergfeld is probably a combination of the German word field and the Slavic brêgu . Both words mean the same thing, a field, or at that time often a stretch of shore. The field names around Bergfeld are also of Slavic origin. According to another interpretation, the name means mountain field, i.e. a field on the slight hill on which the place is located. The place was first mentioned in 1135 as Bergfelde , when it was owned by the Königslutter monastery . The original village shape was that of a Wendish round . Bergfeld never had its own church, but is parish to Parsau.

According to a settlement register from around 1850, there were 20 farms at that time. A school house with a bell tower was built. Around 1900 Bergfeld became a clustered village . 14 soldiers from Bergfeld died in the First World War, 32 in the Second World War.

In 1858 there were 273 people in Bergfeld; in 1939 there were 355 people. By 1950 the number rose to 543 because of the influx of refugees. In 1985 the population was 705. In 1985 there were 43 farms there, 20 of which had less than five hectares of land. According to a census by the municipality of Brome, there were 886 inhabitants in Bergfeld on December 31, 2019.

On July 1, 1972, the municipality of Bergfeld joined the joint municipality of Rüßen . After its dissolution, Bergfeld joined the newly founded Samtgemeinde Brome on March 15, 1974. With this, the community left the Helmstedt district and became part of the Gifhorn district.
