Hammenstedt is a district of the city of Northeim in southern Lower Saxony . The eight-inhabitant district of Güntgenburg also belongs to Hammenstedt.
geography
The place is east of Northeim and south of the Rhume on the federal highway 241 . The Husum Valley begins immediately on the southern outskirts .
history
The exact founding date of the place is not known. It is known that the former "Hof Hammenstedt" was once owned by Count Godiza. He transferred the estate to Emperor Heinrich II , who gave it back to him as a fief . A procedure common at the time to secure the protection of the sovereign .
After the death of the count's surviving wife, Henry II handed over the Hammenstedt estate to Bishop Meinwerk through the mediation of Pope Benedict VIII on the occasion of the consecration of Bamberg Cathedral . The deed of donation dated April 23, 1020 is the oldest written document on the history of the place. The Archdiocese of Paderborn never managed the Hammenstedt estate, which had grown into a village, but existed as a fief. The noblemen of Plesse play a special role among the feudal lords . They also passed on this property as well as their property in Husum by way of an after loan.
This led to sometimes confusing property and ownership relationships, so that the original property rights of the Diocese of Paderborn fell into oblivion over the centuries and the Bishop of Paderborn had to fight for his property rights again through legal action. On June 19, 1292, the provost of the Einbeck monastery of Sankt Alexandri was commissioned with the matter . Ultimately, the ownership of the diocese was confirmed by way of a settlement .
In 1493, the village, which the lords of Bodenhausen acted as their after- lords at that time , was transferred to the city of Northeim for after-fief with the consent of the lords of Plesse and the bishop of Paderborn. This after-lordship existed until the beginning of the 19th century .
The landlord rights and burdens of the city of Northeim were gradually replaced by the Redemption Ordinance of 1833 and the Allodification Act.
In the meantime, the village, which today has around 1,000 inhabitants, has returned to the lap of the city of Northeim through incorporation on March 1, 1974. The highest number of inhabitants was reached by the admission of numerous refugees and displaced persons as a result of the Second World War in 1948 with 1250 people, shortly before the outbreak of the war there were almost half. By 1974 the population decreased to 856 inhabitants and later increased again slightly.

St. Peter's Church
A service in Hammenstedt is documented for the first time in 1208. The St. Petri Church is still used for church services today. The upper part of the dome of the church is bell-shaped. The tower of the church, which adjoins the hall-like nave , built in 1739 and expanded from 1840 to 1841 , used to serve as a defense tower . The altar , made of simple wood, has only a simple golden cross on the front, which resembles the iconostases of Orthodox churches. Behind the altar are pictures showing the life of Jesus in chronological order: the birth of Jesus, his baptism and the Sermon on the Mount on the left, the last supper of Jesus with his disciples, his crucifixion and ascension on the right. Preachers only have access to the pulpit in between via a steep staircase. The modern vestments on the altar and pulpit symbolically reflect Old and New Testament stories.
After the replacement ordinance of 1833, the city retained patronage over the St. Petri Church in Hammenstedt. She was only dismissed from this position on her own application by resolution of the church council on August 10, 1966. Today, Hammenstedt and the nearby towns of Berka and Elvershausen belong to an Evangelical Lutheran parish of the Leine-Solling parish .
Next to the church is a war memorial erected in 1921 , which contains the names of the victims of the First and Second World Wars .
