history

Reinstorf has existed for almost 900 years, because on September 27, 1124, the place and the St. Vitus Church were mentioned in a document from Pope Calixt II as confirmation of the ownership of the Rastede monastery in Oldenburg.

Until the 1960s, the place was the center of the surrounding villages with the church and school, a doctor, three inns and numerous handicraft businesses, all of which belong to the Reinstorf parish .

The village image has changed over the past 20 years. Some farms have closed down. The school, two of the three village bars, the shops, the savings bank and the post office no longer exist. The St. Vitus Church (consecrated to St. Vitus, a helper in need ), including the rectory and the St. Vitus Generation House of the Association for Home Care e. V., the shooting club Hubertus-Reinstorf and the surrounding area with the large club house and the shooting range, the volunteer fire brigade and the sports club. The Wirtschaftskreis Reinstorf e. V. tries to stimulate the economy through advertising and events in addition to the remaining craft and catering businesses.

In the 1980s, the house number system was replaced by street names and new house numbers.

In 2003, a new building area with 16 houses was built in the west of the village. In 2013, in time for the 888th anniversary celebrations as part of the village renewal, the road construction work with the renewal of the sewer system in large parts of the village was completed so that the townscape is friendly and hotel guests can enjoy the place again.
