Schellerten locality

Excavation of a prehistoric site in Schellerten, 2018

The area around Schellerten was already settled in prehistoric times. This is proven by Iron Age settlement remains and artefacts that were discovered in 2018 during archaeological investigations in a new development area on the western edge of the municipality.

Schellerten is first mentioned by name in 1244. In this oldest dated documentary mention, the Hildesheim Bishop Konrad transfers three Hufen Land in Schelerthe to the Hildesheimer Kreuzstift .

Schellerten, located in the so-called Little Abbey of the Prince Diocese of Hildesheim , became Evangelical Lutheran in 1556. Despite massive attempts at recatholization under Prince-Bishop Ernst von Bayern (1573-1612), the re-establishment of the Catholic religion in Schellerten was no longer successful. The Schellert pastor Ulrich Gerlandt and Duke Heinrich Julius von Braunschweig, to whom the Schellert citizens transferred the patronage rights to their church in 1604, played a decisive role. In violation of imperial law ( Augsburg religious peace , Cuius regio, eius religio ), the duke ensured that Schellerten remained Lutheran in 1610 by force of arms.

In 1603, at the time of Pastor Gerlandt, the Schellert church tower collapsed. It was not rebuilt until 1615. The nave of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, built in 1766. Church is equipped with a pulpit altar and organ prospect in Rococo style as well as three ceiling frescoes by the Hildesheim baroque painter Joseph Gregor Winck . They show the birth, death and resurrection of Christ.

Between 1850 and 1861, the special division of meanness and coupling of the field mark of Schellerten took place in connection with the abolition of field and meadow protection . From the farming community, which had previously been dependent on various landlords, a community emerged with independent farmers who own their lands.

In 1873 the Ahstedt-Schellerter Zuckerfabrik AG started operations. Until 1964, she independently produced sugar from the beet in the region. Then it merged with the sugar factory in Rethen (Leine) . Operations initially continued in both plants. In 1967 the Ahstedt-Schellerter sugar factory ceased operations. The old sugar factory site served as a loading station for sugar beets for around 15 more years, which are now processed in Rethen.

Since 1974, the village Schellerten seat of the same name, consisting of twelve places unified community .

In 1986 the construction of a potato warehouse changed the local agriculture. While sugar beets and wheat had become the main crops since the last third of the 19th century, more and more potatoes were grown in the region.

Since 2006, for the first time in its history, Schellerten has been growing towards the west through residential development.
