history

The Hadler Canal on Lichtenpils towards the south

The name of the place probably goes back to pre-Christian and thus pre-Carolingian times and probably means Odin's home . The first documentary mention, however, did not take place until 1325. From 1388 to about 1484 the parish of Odisheim belonged to the Bailiwick of Bederkesa , together with the parishes of Steinau, Oster- and Wester-Ihlienworth and Wanna (the "Five Parishes") . In documents of the 16th century, the name form Odeßhem is found next to the "Christianized" form Gadeshem ("Gottsheim").

coat of arms

	Blazon : “ Divided twiceby a ribbon diced blue and white , the field of which is blue at the top and white at the bottom; above: two silver arrowhead leaves in blue; in the middle: the rolled ribbon; below: a blue arrow herb leaf in silver. "
	Justification of the coat of arms: The arrowhead leaves point to the plant that occurs frequently there and at the same time to the constant struggle of the Sietlanders with the water in their deep inland area. The diced ribbon is borrowed from the coat of arms of the noble family Kule , which owned the tithe in Odisheim in the 14th century.
