Half-timbered store from 1721

Eitze was first mentioned in 860 together with a number of other places in the region between the Ems and Elbe in a record by Archbishop Ansgar about miraculous healings at Willehad's grave . Therefore Eitze celebrated on 14./15. August 2010 a 1150-year anniversary weekend organized by the local history association at the oldest mill in the Verden district (at Gohbach). Some old buildings also bear witness to the ancient history. The Eitzer Mill, which still exists today, is mentioned in a document as early as 1220. There is also a granary built in 1721. In the street "Am Gohbach" there was the Eitzer coffee agent factory.

On July 1, 1972, the previously independent municipality of Eitze was incorporated into the city of Verden.
