history

The history of the place is documented from 1149. At that time the Lamspringe Monastery owned land there. Other landlords were the lords of Steinberg. According to the Winzenburg hereditary registry of 1578, the village belonged to the Winzenburg office , but its residents had to pay tithes to the Lamspringe monastery. In 1964, when the school closed in the course of the establishment of school centers, the tradition of having its own village school, which had existed since the 17th century, ended. The last schoolhouse, built in 1892, is now used for residential purposes.

In the course of the regional reform in Lower Saxony, Evensen was incorporated into the municipality of Sehlem on March 1, 1974 and thus joined the joint municipality of Lamspringe .

The communities of Sehlem, Harbarnsen , Lamspringe, Neuhof and Woltershausen of the combined community of Lamspringe , which was dissolved on October 31, 2016, were merged to form the new community of Lamspringe on November 1, 2016 .

politics

Local councilor and local mayor

Evensen is represented at the local level by the local council from Sehlem.

coat of arms

The municipality was awarded the municipal coat of arms on January 6, 1939 by the President of the Province of Hanover . The district administrator from Alfeld handed it over on May 8 of the same year.

	Blazon : "In a silver shield, a red horse's head with a blaze ."
	Justification of the coat of arms: Since the history of the village of Evensen offered no basis for the design of a coat of arms, the community chose the head of the horse as a coat of arms symbol, in which the love and solidarity with the willing comrade and indispensable assistant of the farmer find strong expression.

religion

Today's Evangelical Lutheran Church dates back to 1600, but its foundations are even older. The coat of arms above the portal with the inscription "Johann Burchtorf" testifies to the earlier church patronage of the Burchtorf family.
