Feldberger Chapel
The Feldberger Chapel near Banteln is the former parish church of the lost village of Feldbergen or Feldberge an der Leine .
history
The chapel was built in the 11th or 12th century as a village church in the village of Feldberge between Banteln and Gronau (Leine) . It was consecrated to Saints George , Sergius and Bacchus . The owner of the patronage right was the Gandersheim Monastery , which in the middle of the 13th century enfeoffed the Lords of Dötzum with it. After their extinction, the patronage was inherited by the von Bennigsen family .
From the 14th century the village of Feldberge was gradually abandoned, although individual farms continued to exist until the Thirty Years War . In the 17th century the village finally fell into desolation. The church, which was destroyed in the war, was restored in a smaller form and since then has served as a cemetery chapel for the burial ground of the village of Banteln, which was still in its old location. A new parish church was built in Banteln for the parish.
A Romanesque triumphal cross (probably 12th century) has been preserved from the former inventory . It is now in the Landesmuseum Hannover .
