history

The Burg Lutter and the village at Merian , 1654
Old postcard from Lutter am Barenberge

Lutter am Barenberge was founded in 956 by Otto the Great as part of the Gandersheim monastery under the name Lutter . The name is derived from the Lutter river that flows here. The current addition to the name at Barenberge appeared as early as 1345 and served to distinguish it from Lutter am Elm, which was only called Königslutter from the 14th century . The Barenberg evidently meant the north-western corner of the Harz Mountains, a few kilometers south of Lutter. There are three peaks called Bakenberg , 321  m above sea level. NN high Kleine Bakenberg , 472  m above sea level. NN high Lower Great Bakenberg and the 526  m above sea level. NN high Upper Great Bakenberg . In the Middle Ages when the place belonged to the Diocese of Hildesheim , the place was also called Bischofslutter .

During the Hildesheim collegiate feud in 1523, Lutter and Lutter Castle finally fell to the Principality of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel , after they had previously been a constant bone of contention between Braunschweig and the Hildesheim Monastery. The current part of the municipality Ostlutter remained with the Hochstift Hildesheim and came to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1814 and with this to Prussia in 1866 , so it was separated from Lutter by a state border until the reorganization of the district of Goslar to the state of Braunschweig in 1941.

In 1626 the battle of Lutter am Barenberge took place near the place . In a bloody slaughter, Tilly defeated the troops of the King of Denmark . This led to a turning point in the Thirty Years War .

Religions

Protestant St. George's Church

Evangelical Lutheran

On an engraving by Merian, next to Lutter Castle, the first known church in the village is depicted, which was built in 1539. In the middle of the 19th century this had to be demolished because of the risk of collapse, the successor building, today's St. George's Church, was inaugurated on the 4th Advent in 1869. Lutter sandstone from the nearby quarries near Ostlutter was used to build the church . However, since this was badly weathered, the tower helmet had to be broken off and replaced in 1953 due to the risk of collapse. During the renovation work from 1990 to 1996, the windows in the interior of the church were restored and the original ceiling and wall paintings were restored.

The church bells are among the oldest in the region. The smallest of the three bells, weighing 83 kg, is a beehive bell that was cast in the middle of the 12th century. It is called the Ribernus bell because of its inscription - Ribernus was a priest who is said to have worked in Lutter in the 10th century. The other two chime bells were cast in 1170.

The organ was built in 1869 by the Euler brothers , the baptismal font was designed by the sculptor Scheppelmann. The stone used for this comes from a quarry near Eilsdorf .

Since January 1, 2012, the Protestant parish of St. Georg in Lutter has formed the St. Trinitatis Neiletal parish association together with the parishes in Hahausen , Nauen, Neuwallmoden and Ostlutter .

Roman Catholic

In 1946 a Catholic parish vicarie was established in Lutter , followed by the construction of the Church of St. Martin in 1961 . In 2008 the church was profaned , today the nearest Catholic church is in Salzgitter-Ringelheim .

coat of arms

Blazon : “Divided by red and gold; above a golden wolf's head, below a heraldic red rose. ”The colors gold-red refer, like the name derived from Bischofslutter, to the Hildesheim monastery, with gold-red representing the pen colors. The municipal coat of arms was approved by the President of the Braunschweig administrative district in 1963 . The wolf alludes to the extinct line of the Lords von Lutter, who in their shield led a wolf jumping over a rose. The rose found its way unchanged into today's municipal coat of arms, but the wolf was diminished. To avoid confusion with the coat of arms of the district of Peine and the city of Peine , only the head of the wolf was retained.
