history

The first documentary mention of this place is controversial: A document dated to the year 1129 with the mention of the place as Rothe iuxta Lutterbiki is a learned forgery by Christian Franz Paullini . Other documents most likely refer to Oldenrode near Kalefeld, 22 kilometers away . A document from 1448 is therefore considered to be the first reliable documentary mention. At the end of the 18th century, Oldenrode had 23 fireplaces, making it one of the smallest villages in the Moringen district.

On March 1, 1974, Oldenrode was incorporated into the city of Moringen.

Attractions

Chapel of St. Nikolai from the northwest

The chapel of St. Nicholas was built around 1300 as a tower-like fortified church. It is made of limestone masonry with sandstone corner blocks and has a rectangular floor plan with external dimensions of 7.41 meters by 15.50 meters and a gable roof, the ground floor is spanned by a three-bay groined vault. The high room above was previously divided into two floors by a wooden beam ceiling. It is thus very similar to the St. Johannis Chapel in the neighboring Weperdorf Nienhagen . In the east wall there is still a small, ogival window from the Middle Ages. A pointed roof turret serves as a clock and bell tower. It was erected together with the installation of the neo-Gothic pointed arch windows on the long sides and the entrance in the western facade during a renovation based on designs by Conrad Wilhelm Hase in 1899/1900. The vault is painted with ornamental decorations.
