Reyershausen is a village belonging to the Bovenden district in Lower Saxony . It lies between the Nörten forest and the Pleßforst am Rodebach .

history

The village was first mentioned in 1205 with the name "Redinceshusen". The village got its current name from the 16th century. It was owned by the Lordship of Plesse and only got its own church in 1695.

In 1915, the population structure and the townscape were significantly shaped by potash mining (Hindenburg-Königshall mine). In addition, more and more residential areas opened up. During the Second World War , the mine was the target of an air raid in which 19 people were killed. In 1969 the mine was finally closed. However, the green waste dump is still a popular local recreation area and an excellent vantage point into the upper Rodetal .

On January 1, 1973 Reyershausen was incorporated into the Bovenden area.

Special

The "Ratsburgbad", located on the edge of the forest with its large facilities, is an important attraction of the village. In addition, hiking trails lead through the Pleßforst to the Iron Age ramparts Ratsburg and Wittenburg.

Ev. reformed Church

West elevation of the church

Today's Reyershausen Church was built in 1833 in place of an older building. It has a small, late Classicist rectangular hall and several window axes. A simple saddle roof rises above the eaves cornice, crowned in the northern area by a slanted, square roof turret with a retracted tip. Three arched windows are framed in each of the long walls. Their architraves are made of ashlar and connected by a cornice running around the church, which is also slightly separated from the rest of the plastered wall surface. The rectangular portal is located on the northern narrow side. In its frieze one can read the inscription With God's help built in the year of salvation in 1833 .
