history
It is not known since when Reckershausen was continuously settled. The first documentary mention to which the anniversary celebrations of the place refer can be found in a forged document of Emperor Otto III in the 12th century for the year 997 . where the place is mentioned as Rikkereshusen . The second written mention comes from the year 1247, the place name there is Rickersen . In the 14th century who had the Landgrave of Hesse extensive rights Reckershausen to the Lords of Rusteberg verlehnt . In 1491 a Vorwerk is mentioned in Reckershausen , from which two Meierhöfe of the Lords of Bodenhausen on Niedergandern emerged . This noble family also held the patronage over the church and school, which is still valid for the parish today.
The place belonged to the Hessian office Ludwigstein / Witzenhausen until after 1815 . During the French occupation, the place belonged to the canton Friedland in the Kingdom of Westphalia (1807-1813). After 1815 the place came to the Kingdom of Hanover ( Friedland Office ).

Culture and sights
grange
The estate of the Lords of Bodenhausen, located in the southwest of the village, is characteristic of the local history and the appearance of the village. The simple mansion was built in the second half of the 18th century and was originally a two-storey quarry stone building with window frames and corner formations made of hewn ashlar with nine window axes, which was built in the 19th century by Baron Arthur von Bodenhausen (landlord in Reckershausen from 1851 to 1863) was increased by a half-timbered upper floor. The upper floor was later hung with roof tiles so that the impression of a steep mansard roof is created. In 1963 the Bodenhausen family from Niedergandern sold the estate to Joachim-Hans von Einsiedel -Syhra and his wife Elisabeth, née. from Alten -Linden. They were followed by their son Curt-Hildebrand von Einsiedel-Wolftitz (living at Schönach Castle ).
church
A specialty among the Lower Saxon village churches - in terms of appearance comparable at most with the fortified church in Sattenhausen - is the church located east of the town center on Thieberg. The simple hall building was added to an older round tower to the east in the 15th century, the narrow, partly walled-up one Window slits and the remains of bay windows still show the defensive character of the tower. The tower built around 1308, which also adorns the town's coat of arms, was originally a control room for the southernmost fortification of the city of Göttingen . At the end of the 18th century the nave was rebuilt and the tower was given an octagonal dome. The portal, which was later broken into the tower in the west, dates back to 1821 and indicates that the church was being rebuilt. The current interior was given to the church in the 20th century using parts of the former Baroque pulpit altar.
Madeburg
In the forest on a mountain spur of the Steinkopf immediately north of Reckershausen on the eastern narrow point of the Leine basin opposite the former Friedland Castle there is a former ring wall . Several terraces and ramparts have been preserved in the area, ceramic finds were dated to the 10th century. During excavations, a fortification made of a mortar wall with a width of 1.60 m with a trench in front was found as the core of one of the ramparts; a second rampart and trench is also present. However, both ramparts are not closed. The eastern mountain spur is cordoned off by another upstream rampart. The gate to the castle was formerly located below the western slope.
