Since January 1, 2017, the Bettingerode parish, together with the neighboring parishes in Westerode , Lochtum , Immenrode , Weddingen , Lengde and Wiedelah, have been part of the parish association between Harz and Harly based in Vienenburg in the provost of Bad Harzburg of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Braunschweig .
history
Bettingeroder Church was spared during the Thirty Years' War . In 1666–1669 the choir was added and a tower was added. The roof has been renewed. In 1706 the interior was repainted. The interior was completely renovated in 1964 and 1965 , and the old painting was lost. The wooden altar wall was removed and the pews replaced. This makes the church look modern, but it does not correspond to today's tastes.
