history
Archaeological finds in the area suggest settlements from the Neolithic and Bronze Ages . The barrows of the barrow heath near Kirchlinteln date from the Bronze Age, around 2500 to 1400 years BC. Chr.
Most of the villages go back to settlements from the Middle Ages . The originally Romanesque church in Wittlohe has been mentioned in a document since 1231, but is probably older. The Kerke to Lintloh , dedicated to St. Peter - the tower of which is still standing from around 1200 - was first mentioned in 1385 in a document from the Verden bishop Johann II.
The territory of the municipality Kirchlinteln was initially part of the Duchy of Verden , which after the Thirty Years' War to Swedish territory Bremen-Verden arrived. After brief Danish rule, Kirchlinteln became part of the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg in 1715 , which became the Kingdom of Hanover after the Napoleonic Wars in 1814 . From 1866 Hanover was occupied by Prussia after the German War and remained a Prussian province until 1946 . Kirchlinteln experienced an upswing as a destination for tourism and excursion tourism with the construction of the America Line in 1874.
In 1946 Kirchlinteln became part of the re-established state of Hanover , which in the same year merged with Braunschweig , Schaumburg-Lippe and Oldenburg to form the state of Lower Saxony. After the war, many expellees from East Prussia , Pomerania , Silesia , Czechoslovakia and Bessarabia settled in the area of today's municipality.
Over time, thanks to its convenient location on Autobahn 27 and the associated short travel time to Bremen and Hanover, Kirchlinteln wins many new residents who want to live in rural areas, but who also value short commuting times to the neighboring cities.

In addition to the local handicrafts, there are some companies in vehicle and mechanical engineering as well as in the shipping industry. Kirchlinteln has branches of the Volksbank Aller-Weser eG and the Kreissparkasse Verden .
traffic
Road traffic
The municipality of Kirchlinteln is located on the A 27 Bremen – Walsrode. Although the Verden-Ost junction is in the area of the city of Verden (Aller), it can be reached very quickly from Kirchlinteln, approx. 3 km away. Landesstraße 171 (Verden – Schneverdingen) crosses the municipality from west to east and connects the villages in the Lintler Geest. In the south of the municipality, localities that were formerly on the Verden-Walsroder railway line - often referred to as "small railway district" in the vernacular - are connected by the state roads 160 and 159.
Public transport
The villages of the Kirchlinteln community are connected to Verden (Aller) by public buses. At the district boundaries there are connections to regular bus connections to Rotenburg (Wümme) and Walsrode at individual points. There is a citizen bus system within Kirchlinteln that opens up the east and south of the community. The village of Holtum (Geest) is not connected.
Rail transport
In the area of the municipality there are three railway lines of different importance. The Uelzen – Langwedel railway crosses the municipality from west to east . Next to the train station in the village of Bendingbostel, the Kirchlinteln train station had been located on the northwestern edge of the central town since 1873. Since about 1912 the place was also the seat of a railway maintenance office. The railway was thus one of the largest employers for decades. After the traffic continued to decline since the 1970s, the last passenger train left Kirchlinteln on September 26, 1987; three years later, the last freight traffic was also stopped. The remaining technical systems, which were controlled from Langwedel, have been dismantled since 2004; the station has since been definitively de-dedicated. The regional and freight trains thus cross the municipality without stopping today. The re-establishment of a stop in Kirchlinteln is currently planned.
In the south of the municipality there has been the so-called small railway line of the Verden-Walsroder Railway since 1911 , which today ends in Stemmen. It is only occasionally used for freight transport and as a museum railway . The single-track, now electrified Verden – Rotenburg ( Weser-Aller-Bahn ) line has been in the northwest of the municipality since 1928 ; In the village of Holtum (Geest) there is a train station , which is no longer used for passenger traffic, but is remotely controlled from Verden as an alternative point .
The nearest train stations for passenger transport are in Verden (Aller) , Visselhövede and Langwedel .
Long-distance cycle path
In Verdenermoor the cat and in Ramelsen the rooster are said to have joined the other “ Bremen Town Musicians ”. A long-distance cycle path connects all four places where the four animals are said to have lived and the robber's house in Horst, which is also in the area of the municipality of Kirchlinteln. This cycle path, known as the “Town Musicians Path”, was inaugurated in 2008.
