history

Pevestorf is located in the area of ​​the settlement chamber on the elevation of the Höhbeck, which was used as a settlement and burial site for over 2000 years from the younger Stone Age to the early Iron Age . This was shown by excavations at the Pevestorf site on the Hasenberg on the southern outskirts of Pevestorf, which the Lower Saxony State Museum carried out in the 1960s. In 1961 there were accidental finds from the Stone Age when a house was being built in Pevestorf. The excavations led to the discovery of floor plans of houses from several prehistoric periods, including a hall house 23 meters long. The finds showed, among other things, connections to the Bernburg culture .

On July 1, 1972, Pevestorf was incorporated into the municipality of Höhbeck.
