history

Bredelem was first mentioned in 1147. Located to the left of the Innerste , the fertile soil on the bank of the river was probably the basis of the settlement. The area of ​​today's village was settled much earlier.

In 1830 a fire almost completely destroyed the village. During the reconstruction, it was laid out more generously in order to counteract similar disasters in the future with wider paths and roads.

Bredelem was incorporated into the city of Langelsheim on July 1, 1972 on the occasion of the Lower Saxony regional reform.
