The canton Rotenkirchen existed from 1807 to 1813 in the Einbeck district ( Department of the Leine , Kingdom of Westphalia ) and was formed by the Royal Decree of December 24, 1807. Rotenkirchen was affected by restructuring to finally determine the state of the communities in the department of the Leine on June 16, 1809. After this decree, the villages of Hollenstedt, Odagsen and Hoppensen came to the canton, which changed the municipal division as shown below.
