The district of Thiershausen, two kilometers to the north, with the Thiershäuser Teiche recreation and nature reserve belongs to Renshausen .
history
The place was first mentioned in a document as Reinolveshausen in 1013. The ending " -hausen " suggests that it was founded between the 8th and 10th centuries. The document is considered a forgery of the 12th century and reminds of the first settler, who was called Reinholv, by mentioning the name Reinolveshausen. A few years later, in 1022, Bishop Bernward von Hildesheim donated the church and around 30 Hufen land to the St. Michaels Monastery in Hildesheim , which he founded . The monastery received the bailiwick over the village in 1267 from Duke Albrecht von Braunschweig . With a brief exception, Renhausen remained in the possession of the monastery until 1803, which maintained a Benedictine courtyard on site . It was sovereignly under the authority of the Electorate of Mainz . The date of the year 1022 turned out to be a forgery in retrospect, that document probably comes from the second half of the 12th century. More reliable information about the monastery is provided by a document from 1013 in which King Heinrich II took the monastery in Hildesheim, along with its possessions (including in Renshausen), under his protection.
From the 13th century, the monastery courtyard, also known as the Paterhof, was administered by a bailiff, before the Benedictines took care of it in their own hands since 1674. In the period before that, around the middle of the 14th century, the monastery appointed the Lords of Plesse , who administered the goods of the monastery in Renshausen. A document from 1330 says that the nobles von Plesse were given the goods for five years in exchange for an annual interest of half a load of beer and ten marks of pure silver. The above mentioned exception in ownership took place in 1465. At that time, the city of Göttingen managed to acquire an opportunity far outside of its urban area with Renshausen and acted as a kind of outpost. The sale came from the St. Michaelis monastery in Hildesheim, in 1477 it was noted in the treasury register that the mill in Renshausen belonged half to the monastery and half to the council, in 1482 the council renounced its rights to the fish pond and the mill, but the village itself remained still in municipal hands. After it says de villa Renshusen nihil in the treasury register in 1483 , the village disappears from the Göttingen account books. According to tradition, Renshausen was desolate between 1520 and 1532 , which would also mean that villa Renshusen nihil . The Hildesheim collegiate feud can be given as the cause . The neighboring town of Groß Thiershausen was also completely destroyed. Between 1674 and 1803 16 priests stayed in Renshausen, who also took on the role of head of the monastery. From the end of the 17th century, renovations and new buildings took place, so the monastery courtyard building was rebuilt in 1696, while a new barn followed in 1729. A new mill was built in 1788. In 1803 the monastery was closed as part of the secularization , the last Benedictine Father Klemens Kreuzkampf stayed as a pastor in Bernshausen until 1830.
The building of the cloister courtyard, built by Abbot Jacobus II in 1696, still reminds of the former Benedictine monks. From 1803 it served as a parsonage and until 1957 as a school and teaching staff residence. In 1958 a new school was built, which after renovations has been used as a village community center since 1976 .
Renshauen has been a pilgrimage site for Joseph since 1722 . At that time, a chapel, which was originally located between Lake Constance and Gieboldehausen , was moved next to the Renshausen parish church. In 1877 the chapel had to be demolished due to its dilapidation, so that from then on an identical miraculous image was venerated in the St. Mary's Church, which was newly built in 1847. The annual pilgrimage takes place under the name "Great Pilgrimage" on the 3rd Sunday in March.
There is also a lively club life in the village itself. The men's choir founded in 1867 is one of the oldest clubs that is still active today. There is also a sports and gymnastics club, a beautification club, a Kolping club and the volunteer fire brigade . The “Original Eichsfeld Musicians” also belong to the place.
On January 1, 1973 Renshausen was incorporated into the Krebeck community.
coat of arms

|
Blazon : “Split; divided ten times at the front by red and silver (white), covered with the Mainz wheel in mixed up colors; in the back three hexagonal gold (yellow) stars in a ratio of 2: 1 in blue. " |
| Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms designed by Fritz Reimann from Fuhrbach and approved by the Lower Saxony Ministry of the Interior on October 16, 1951 shows the Hessian state colors red and silver and the Kurmainzer wheel, which reminds of the earlier affiliations of the border town. The three stars come from the coat of arms of the former Benedictine monastery in Renshausen, which in turn belonged to the property of the Michaelis monastery in Hildesheim. |

Pilgrimage Church of the Birth of Mary
Clear and unadorned architectural forms and a spacious interior are the basic components of the pilgrimage church of Mary's Birth in Renshausen. It was built between 1847 and 1850, when it was realized by the master builder Oldendorp. Its construction was dominated by the already dilapidated Gothic predecessor church, which at the time of the rising St. James pilgrimage in Renshausen already existed in 1722, expanded in 1727 and finally demolished in 1851. The miraculous image, previously venerated in St. Mary's Church, now found its place in the new Church of the Birth of Mary in 1852. The image of grace shows Saint Joseph accompanied by three angels with a cross and a carpenter's tool. It is located in a baroque side altar of the church and was made by the Benedictine Josephus Blume at the beginning of the 18th century. On the side altar there is also a painted antependium , which contains, among other things, pictures of Mary with the child, Michael, Benedict and Scholastica . With this arrangement, the altar represents a special feature in the lower area . On the protrusions of the retable , the holy figures of Judas Thaddäus , Urban , Johannes Baptist and Augustine were placed. They are made in the Gothic style. The inventory, exhibited in the semicircular apse of the church, is kept in a modern style. Among the individual objects there is a celebration altar , ambo , tabernacle and triumphal cross. The four figures of saints, which were set up between the east wall and the apse, come from a former altar of the previous churches. Numerous depictions of St. Bernward on the walls attest to the former donation by Bernward von Renshausen to the Hildesheim Benedictine monastery . In the vestibule there is also a picture of the Archangel Michael . Since November 1st, 2014 the church belongs to the parish “St. Kosmas and Damian ”in Bilshausen .
Economy and Infrastructure
Renshausen was first connected to the power grid in 1922. Just six years later, in 1928, it was connected to the district water pipeline. A special feature associated with this facility was that at that time the place supplied almost 40 percent of the water for the old district of Duderstadt . At the end of the sixties, the sewer system and the complete new construction of the street were implemented in Renshausen . With the construction of the new road, the opportunity was also used to lay the electricity and telephone lines underground.
Most Renshäuser work as commuters outside of town. There are five full-time farms and seven commercial operations in the village. The development plan drawn up in 1967 ensured that the place was subject to brisk construction activity.
