history

The meaning of the place name Horst is explained by its geographical location. The village is surrounded by former moorland on a slight hill that extends far beyond the village. Archaeological finds such as a spout ax , a bronze clasp and residues from racing furnaces indicate that the area was already settled in prehistoric times . The first documentary mention goes back to a deed of donation from Bishop Wedekind I of Minden in 1258. In documents from the 16th century, 5 Vollmeier, 2 Halbmeier and 18 Köthner were mentioned in the village.

The Wedekind zur Horst family , which gained importance from the 19th century , is historically connected to the place . Their main farm is located in the local area. The previous farm was given to the progenitor of the family of Otto II the Strict, Duke of Braunschweig and Lüneburg , around 1320. The family coat of arms is on the baptismal font in the church.

In the 20th century, the place grew by adding residential areas in several steps from about 340 inhabitants around 1900 to 2690 people in 2005.

On March 1, 1974, Horst was incorporated into the town of Garbsen.
