history

Herberhausen is first mentioned in writing in a document in 1293, but the village is certainly much older. Most of it probably belonged to the Esikonen and came to the Diocese of Hildesheim through Bishop Udo , who came from the family of the Counts of Reinhausen . At the end of the 14th century Herberhausen became a town village of Göttingen, because in 1372 the Lords of Gladebeck, as ministerial of the Bishop of Hildesheim, enfeoffed the Göttingen councilor Klingebil with court, bailiwick, interest, services etc. to Herberhausen, and in 1376 the city of Göttingen was given these rights were conferred by the Hildesheim bishop himself as an eternal man's fief. After a significant increase in population in the 19th century, the built-up area of ​​the village and the infrastructure also expanded after the Second World War. On April 1, 1963, Herberhausen was incorporated into the city of Göttingen at its own request.

Attractions

church

Village church of St. Cosmas and Damian

The church of St. Cosmas and Damian is built from limestone rubble and is relatively large for comparable villages in the region. The west tower was built in the Middle Ages, probably around 1300. The core of the nave was built in the 15th century, in the 18th century at least the roof and the window and door design were changed, the church was redesigned as a hall church . In the 19th century a sacristy was added before the nave was extended to the north in 1958/59.

Thieplatz

The triangular Thieplatz of the village is opposite the church. A wall running all around is built from lime rubble stones, which enables the construction of a slightly elevated, level area on the slope. The buildings around Thieplatz convey an almost undisturbed picture of village half-timbered buildings from around 1800.

Ripple marks

In the forest quarry about 1 kilometer east of Herberhausen, the sea floor from 240 million years ago is exposed. At that time the Muschelkalkmeer was located here , a tributary of the Tethys .
