Rössing is a village in the municipality of Nordstemmen in the Hildesheim district in Lower Saxony . The place is the second largest of ten localities that belong to the municipality of Nordstemmen.

history

In the Neolithic Age, the area around Rössing was colonized by the band ceramics group . In the 1980s, took place in a gravel mining area near the village excavation of the band Ceramic settlement Rössing by the Heritage Institute in Hannover. An intensely populated area was discovered around 4500 BC. Exposed.

The place was first mentioned in a document between 822 and 877. The von Rössing family had their knight seat here, first mentioned in 1132. The von Rössing family still lives in the Rössinger Castle today. It is a two-wing half-timbered building with stylistic features of the Weser Renaissance on an island in the park, surrounded by a wide moat. The manor was built around 1579/89 after the Guelph Duke Heinrich Julius destroyed the old knight's seat in 1431.

The history of Rössing was shaped by its location on the western edge of the Hildesheim diocese . On the border on the leash, the Guelph dukes sat at the fortress Calenberg and constantly tried to expand their sphere of influence to the east. When after the Hildesheim collegiate feud (1519–23) the large pen was smashed, Rössing fell to Calenberg, where it remained after the restitution in 1643. Duke Erich I managed to take possession of half of Rössing in 1537/38. Now half of the Rössinger farmers had to pay tithing and service to him. The other half with "all services and duties" was subject to the "noble patrimonial court " of the Lords of Rössing, which was not repealed until around 1820.

The town of Rössing was often affected by medieval feuds. In 1486 mercenaries from the city of Hildesheim burned the village down. The Hildesheim collegiate feud, the Thirty Years War with the fighting for the Calenberg Fortress and the Reiterschlacht of 1626 caused damage in the area. In 1808 a big fire left half of Rössing in ruins. The French period at the beginning of the 19th century brought hunger and hardship to the population.

From around 1840 the abolition of the tithe and service obligation helped farmers to own land. In 1853 the Hanover – Alfeld railway line was opened and in 1866 the Electorate of Hanover, which had become a kingdom in 1814, was annexed by Prussia. The end of the Second World War brought about a doubling of the population, which is currently around 1900, due to the admission of the many expellees. The number of farmers has dropped to a few.

On March 1, 1974, Rössing was incorporated into the municipality of Nordstemmen. In 2000 the place celebrated its anniversary "1150 years of Rössing".
