history
The place was mentioned for the first time in 1361, namely "Richard von Odinspil acts as a witness in a document in favor of the Johanniter settlement in Marienhagen (The identity of Odinthorpa in the Werdener Urbar around 1050 with Odenspiel is not likely)."
Spelling of the first mention : Odinspil
church
The hall building with a three-sided choir closure and surrounding galleries was built in 1697. The Romanesque nave walls from the 13th century were included in the construction. The upstream west tower was completed in its current form in 1755. Altar, pulpit and organ are on top of each other, with the organ gallery they form a cross. The first bell from 1520 was melted down at the beginning of the First World War. When the interior was renovated in 1968, the original painting on the brochure came to light. The six-sided baptismal font made of trachyte from the 12th or 13th century, which had been built into the altar until then, was carved around and placed in the choir room.
school
In 1674 a teacher was appointed to the school by the pastor, lay judges, jury, church masters and administrators as well as the common people. He should show the "dear young people with a good exemplary life and change, the same in reading, writing, arithmetic, singing and stopping beds diligently and exercising the Kathechismum Lutheri." At the same time, detailed school regulations are issued, in which the number of hours, the subjects taught and much more is sorted.
