history

Middle Ages and Modern Times

Deensen around 1654

At what time Deensen was founded is not certain. The time of the first documentary mention is also controversial, because some mentions allow the assignment to different villages. For the first time in 1220 there is a mention of the place Dede Husen , in other documents of the 13th and 14th centuries Deddenhusen . In 1483 Godewart von Campe received the right to rebuild the village of Deensen , which was devastated in the Hussite Wars (1419–1436), as a manor and to fill it with people of his own accord. A water castle was built and people settled around there. The moated castle fell into disrepair over the centuries. In 1825 today's mansion was built on the foundations of the old moated castle ; Cellar vaults and meter-thick sandstone walls are evidence of the old days. The moat and later upper village pond were filled for the most part. Today there is only a pond on the north side of the manor house, which extends to the walls. In 1970 the manor was sold by the von Campe family after 500 years of ownership. Since 1985 the former manor house with the stables has been used as a holiday and riding stables.

Incorporations

On January 1, 1973, the communities Braak and Schorborn were incorporated.

Surname

Old names from Deensen were 1220 quartam partem decimae in campo Dedenhusen prope Luthardessen , 1240 (13th century) Deddenhusen, around 1290 Deddenhosen, 1302 decimam in Deddenhusen, 1320 in villa, que Deddenhusen dicitur, around 1360 Dedenhusen, 1425 Dedessen and 1568 Deensen. There is an education with the basic word -husen, which was then shortened to ‑sen and a weakly inflected short name as a defining word. The personal name is to be used as Dedo or Deddo and is well documented in these forms, but its origin is controversial.

Buildings

Gutskirche St. Nicolai

• The townscape is characterized by half-timbered houses in the style of the Low German hall houses .
• Mausoleum with 40 coffins of those from Campe.
• The Evangelical Lutheran manor church of St. Nicolai , located off the main road, has its origins in the beginning of the 16th century (1502); the right of patronage was with the von Campe family. Originally it was a Marienkirche. The current church building is the third at this point. Some epitaphs and the font are still older . A renovation took place in 2002; By installing a mobile full glass wall, the church can also be used as a parish hall since then. The community belongs to the parish of Holzminden-Bodenwerder . A special feature is the organ, which was built by Furtwängler & Hammer Hannover in 1891 using the prospectus of the predecessor organ. The organ has mechanical cone chests and is technically largely preserved in its original state. The disposition was changed in 1952 by Fredrich Weißenborn according to the taste of the time and made Baroque (disposition 1891–1952 in brackets):
