history

No reliable information can be given about the exact time when the village of Hassel was built, but it is certain that the first settlements between Krähenberg and Ostermoor emerged on the slope of the Örtze glacial valley .

Hassel was mentioned in a document for the first time in 1298. In a cattle register from 1438 three farms are occupied, and in 1589 five farms are already mentioned in a house book. These three full farms and two Kötner farms remained the same in the following centuries, and only in the 19th century did more mining sites emerge .

Since the 14th century, the lowest administrative and judicial instance has been the Amtsvogtey Winsen, headed by a ducal bailiff . The concerns exclusively affecting the village of Hassel were taken care of by the Realgemeinde , i. H. the owners of the farms entitled to the commons , advise and decide. The political reforms of the 19th century brought about a fundamental change, as a result of which the political municipality of Hassel was formed. The co-determination of village affairs was no longer dependent on the ownership structure; every male villager over 25 years of age now had the right to vote.

The 19th century was marked by extensive agricultural reforms . The general division carried out at the beginning of the 19th century, through which the villages were given fixed borders and each piece of land belonged to a municipality, were fundamental for the further reforms . The extent of the areas allocated to the individual villages was based on the grazing rights used in the past. This was followed by the common divisions between 1838 and 1858 . The common land , d. H. The previously communally used areas have now been transferred to the individual courtyards as free ownership, depending on the respective existing rights of use to the common land.

On the basis of the Redemption Ordinance for the Kingdom of Hanover from 1833, the obligations to the manorial authority on the farms were redeemed . The farms assigned according to the so-called Meierrecht were previously obliged to provide numerous services and monetary payments, which were now canceled against payment of a sum that corresponded to 25 times the previous annual obligation and the farms were thus passed into the possession of the farmers as free property. One consequence of the replacements was that real estate could now be freely sold. This created the prerequisites for the creation of new mining sites. In the second half of the 19th century, a new district was created on the Achterberg .

On January 1, 1973, Hassel was incorporated into the city of Bergen.

religion

Hassel belonged to the parish in Winsen until 1971, when Hassel was incorporated into the Fabian and Sebastian Church in Sülze at the request of the residents . The majority of the Hassler population is Protestant, the parish in Bergen is responsible for the Catholic residents.
