history

Protestant church

In 1451 the Saldern were enfeoffed with the tithe, a saddle yard and five Hufen land in Klein Himstedt by Bishop Magnus. In 1480 the property was taken over by the Steterburg monastery . In 1838 the tithe was abolished as a tax. It is mentioned that 20,000 thalers had to be paid to a von Hammerstein family.

On March 1, 1974, Klein Himstedt and the communities of Bettrum, Feldbergen, Groß Himstedt, Hoheneggelsen, Mölme, Nettlingen, Söhlde and Steinbrück formed the new community of Söhlde. From 1821 to 1866, these villages were already part of the Steinbrück office, while from 1885 to 1974 they belonged to the Marienburg district , which eventually became part of the Hildesheim district.

church

The church in Klein Himstedt has always been a daughter church of Groß Himstedt in the former Archdiaconate Nettlingen. It dates from the Romanesque period before 1300, which can be recognized by the towers. The bell from 1511 comes from the famous Hildesheim bell founder Harmen Koster. The symbol of the bell founder was included in the local coat of arms. In 1957 the west wall of the church tower and the south wall of the nave were renovated.
