geology

The village lies on a fertile sea ​​sand area that was created during the last ice age . The soil consists of a yellowish to brown, stratified fine sand , which contains clayey parts and is free of stones . It is therefore particularly suitable for humus formation . Since this soil becomes sticky in damp weather, it has also been given the name “Klei” - for example glue.

Extension of the district

Many of the eight farms have been family-owned for generations. A total area of ​​approx. 600 hectares is cultivated. The buildings of the eight farmsteads determine the townscape with their large properties , mostly overgrown with old oak and beech trees. The former Meierhof in particular is still an extensive courtyard today.

In 2004 Wichmannsdorf was a forest farm. In addition to Beverbeck and Wulfstorf , the former place was one of the oldest villages in the unitary community of Bienenbüttel.

The old village location of Wichmannsdorf, about 800 m away from today's homestead in the forest, can still be recognized by overgrown fruit trees.

In the years 1294 and 1295 Wichmannsdorf was still called Wichmannstorpe. Researchers assign the place to the old property of the Billunger, which was then given to the St. Michaelis monastery in Lüneburg. The village, which originally housed several farms, fell desolate early . Try the monastic landlord to reach a repopulation failed, leaving only a Vorwerk could be built on the predominantly sheep farming was operated. The name Bornsen was found as early as 1309, and in 1400 the place was called to dem Bornen .

The place where the Ebstorf monastery and local aristocratic families owned property is initially administered by the Ebstorf Office. In the 18th century the wooden arise memory , Bornsen already has a school.

In the first half of the 19th century the buildings for the eight farms were built, and in 1813 some of the residents were killed in the Battle of Leipzig . In 1823 there were 129 inhabitants. In 1829 the school was renewed. In 1851 a half-timbered store was built in the southern part of the village. The school building is enlarged in 1870.
