history
To the east of the village are the remains of a burial mound from the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age . The first written mention of Bonstorf can be found in the parish news and dates from 1450. It is about the fact that in the "Bormwiese" , a swampy spring meadow between Backeberg and Bonstorf, a dead man was found who was up to his neck in the swamp stuck. It was believed that the "Elven" , meaning the angry and evil spirits, would have dragged him into it. For this reason, Priest Magnus Lauenrod ordered that the man should not be buried in the churchyard. The next written mention dates from the year 1504. The church book reports that in the course of the Hildesheim collegiate feud on the "Bormwiese" on St. John's Day (June 24th) 1519 (four days before the Battle of Soltau ) a military conflict took place. The Calenberg knight Hans von Ollershusen sank into the mud with his horse and was saved by the knight Hans von Spörcken.
In 1793 Bonstorf received its own school. It was shut down in 1973. Part of the building was sold as a residential building, while another part remained the property of the municipality and is also used as an apartment.
On January 1, 1973 Bonstorf was incorporated into the municipality of Hermannsburg.
In 1995 the only restaurant in town closed. The shop in the same building had previously given up trading.
politics
With the merger of Hermannsburg with the neighboring community of Unterlüß on January 1, 2015, the place became part of the community of Südheide .
