history

The Germanic Chauken settled the area on both sides of the Lower Weser before the birth of Christ . Saxon tribes probably conquered large parts of Lower Germany from 300/400 AD and the Chauken were absorbed into the Saxons . Bramstedt is said to be one of the oldest places in the north. It was a farming village until around 1800 and has retained its old town center to this day. The historical buildings are mainly half-timbered houses . The Lower House is a 200 year old timber-framed building with brick house, sheep barn and carriage remise . Today it serves as a meeting place.

Around the time from 900 to 1000 the first known church was built during the missionary work of the area in Bramstedt. Today's Protestant St. Jacobi Church from 1750 burned down in 1779 and was rebuilt in 1781. The bronze baptismal font from 1469 was made by Hinrich Klinghe .

From the 11th century Bramstedt came to the Diocese of Bremen , from 1648 to the Swedish-ruled empire territory of Bremen-Verden , from 1719/1720 to the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (1815 Kingdom of Hanover ), which came to Prussia in 1866 as the Province of Hanover . From 1885 the place belonged to the office of Hagen and the district of Geestemünde, which was added to the district of Wesermünde in 1932 and in 1977 to the district of Cuxhaven . In 1927 the district court was in Hagen, a post office was in Bramstedt and the tax office was in Wesermünde . Since 1946 the place has been in the state of Lower Saxony .
