Location structure

Knutbühren is the second smallest district of the city of Göttingen after Deppoldshausen . The district covers an area of ​​397.55 hectares, which corresponds to 3.4% of the area of ​​the entire city. In contrast to most other places in the area, the ground plan structure of the place has changed little since the 18th century. Even in the period after the Second World War, no new building areas were created in the village. The longest street in the village is the lime tree avenue running in north-south direction , along which narrow, elongated properties are strung together. This parcel structure still corresponds in its basic form to the original layout of a row village in the clearing period. From Lindenallee, the short Ossenfelder Straße branches off to the west and the even shorter dead-end street, Klostergasse, to the east. The former Tieplatz is at the northern end of the village, the chapel in the east on Klostergasse.

history

The village was probably first mentioned in a document in the first half of the 12th century. Since the place name "Buren" was also only about 11 km away from Bühren , the allocation of many documents is not certain and can only be determined on the basis of continuity of ownership. To distinguish it, Knutbühren was also referred to as "Luttekenburen" (small Bühren, 1380) or "Alten Buern" (1566), in 1399 for the first time as "Knutbüren". From 1448 Knutbühren belonged to the former office of Harste , which was dissolved on July 1, 1823. The place fell, along with other villages of the former office, to the administrative district of the Leineberg court that was created in 1743. On January 1, 1973 the place was incorporated into the city of Göttingen. It is still shaped by agriculture . At the end of 2018, 162 people had their main residence here.

religion

In Knutbühren there used to be a chapel congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Elliehausen. It was abolished on July 1, 1974 and its parishioners were incorporated into the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Hetjershausen. In 2013, 67.9 percent of Knutbühren's residents were Protestant and 5.7 percent Catholic.

Catherine Chapel

The Katharinenkapelle building is said to have been torn down in 1828 and replaced by a new building. However, this information can only refer to the small nave , the west tower, which is square in plan, is medieval. The ogival entrance is on the south side of the tower. The nave also has two simple ogival windows on each side, a very early example of Gothic design for the first third of the 19th century. Both the tower and the nave, which was built on in the same width, are made of limestone, red sandstone was only used for the western corners of the tower and for the window and door frames.
