history

The earliest documented mention of a place Maghtersheim in a document from the Lamspringe monastery from 1149. However, archaeological finds prove a settlement history that goes back far before all records. Machtsum belonged to the bishopric of Hildesheim and the Dompropstei, but had only one chapel and was a church affiliate of Borsum . As in Borsum, the Jesuits carried out the Catholic Reform here after the Thirty Years' War .

In 1857 the village was almost completely destroyed by a major fire. The reconstruction was carried out according to plan and with large gaps between the individual farms in order to prevent such a catastrophe in the future. The resulting large cottage gardens and the old stock of trees led to several awards due to the charming village image. Machtsum was and is predominantly agricultural and has a lively club life.
