Location of Odagsen in Lower Saxony

Odagsen is a village and southern locality of the city of Einbeck in the Northeim district in Lower Saxony and is crossed by the K503.

history

The name of the place developed from Osdageshus via Osdagessen to today's Odagsen and is first mentioned in 1241 with the knight Heinrich von Osdagessen. A different statement notes that the place was already mentioned under the name Osdageshus between 854 and 877. The village arose at the confluence of the Rebbe and the Aue.

During the period of the Thirty Years War in 1627 the whole place burned down, with the exception of the church and the rectory. The rectory that still stands today was built in 1711 at the expense of the Einbeck monastery of St. Alexandri . French soldiers were billeted in the village from 1804 to 1805. On May 5, 1807, a fire destroyed 12 houses and 8 outbuildings within a few hours. On April 10, 1945 the village was taken by American soldiers.

Odagsen was incorporated on February 1, 1971 into the district of the city of Einbeck.
