religion

The old Duttenstedt village church

Today's St. John's Church

Duttenstedt is located in the old Saxon area, which was incorporated into the Franconian Empire and Christianized by Charlemagne around 800 . Nothing is known about the older church history of the place, but the von Oberg family, who later exercised the right of patronage over the church and used it as a burial place , probably owned their own church here as early as the Middle Ages .

In the middle of the 16th century, the Lutheran Reformation was introduced in the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg . The old little village church, which was demolished in 1897 due to its dilapidation, came from 1677 according to a year at the north entrance. A 300-year-old sacrament set is in the present church. The Duttenstedt altar , a valuable example of early Lutheran church art based on Flemish models, is kept in the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig.

In the years 1897/98, today's church was built in neo-Gothic forms from brick with sandstone reveals and gables. The three-bay hall is continued in the west by a pointed dome- crowned tower and in the east by a retracted rectangular choir with large tracery windows.

Duttenstedt has a joint local council with the neighboring district of Essinghausen . The local mayor is Günter Schmidt.

coat of arms

The coat of arms shows a curly blue surface tapering to a point on a golden shield. In the blue field there is a gold eight-spoke wheel . The left field shows a left-facing blue lion head with a red tongue, the right field two blue diamonds on a gold background. The basic colors blue and gold illustrate the earlier Welfisch Braunschweig country affiliation . The lion's head points in particular to the Brunswick-Lüneburg line . The two diamonds stand for the knights of Oberg, who once lived here until the 19th century . The golden wheel on a blue background symbolizes rural folk art and was modeled on an image on a door bar of a farmhouse from 1850. In popular belief, the wheel is a symbol of salvation and blessing.

The coat of arms was approved by the Braunschweig administrative president on February 7, 1973; the design was made by Rudolf Dehnke.
