history

Eilenstedt was first mentioned in a document in 1084 as Eylenstidde , when Bishop Burchard II of Halberstadt confirmed that his predecessor Burchard I had donated 20 hooves to the Huysburg monastery . But the place must be much older; probably 8./9. Century. The church tower was built between 825 and 840 under Hildegrim , the first bishop of Halberstadt. It originally served as a defense and watchtower. The nave was only added many years later. In 1183 the church was consecrated to St. Nicholas under the patronage of the Huysburg Monastery .

The monastery was the main landowner with several estates in Eilenstedt and also received the wine tenth . The ministerial and knightly family von Eilenstedt is often witnessed in documents of the monastery, like 1185 Conrad von Eylenstede , canon of St. Paul in Halberstadt, or the ministerial bishop Gardolfs Heinrich and Ludolph von Eylenstede 1197 in a comparison about the possessions of the bailiwick of the monastery . In 1222 Reynerus von Eilenstede and his wife Irmengard gave the monastery a hoof in the village for the birth of their heir. Later, the von Berwinkel family in Eilenstedt was also wealthy. Burchard von Berwinkel owned an episcopal fief from 1311 . The so-called Kemnadenhof was sold to the monastery by Bishop Johann in 1417. In 1610 the plague raged in the village, 82 people died, seven of them in one house. In the 17th century, the Lords of Kropf were the main landowners of the place. A garrison of Dragoon - Regiment 7 of the Brandenburg-Prussian army was in 1714 Eilenstedt.
