history
Prehistory and early history
The place Rosdorf is one of the oldest settlements in the district of Göttingen with a continuous settlement since the Neolithic Age . Agriculture and plant-based nutrition in southeastern Lower Saxony can be analyzed using the excavation of the ceramic settlement on the Mühlengrund . The results of the Rosdorf “Mühlengrund” settlement in the district of Göttingen, which was extensively excavated between 1963 and 1970, are of supraregional importance for research into linear ceramics (5500-5000 BC). It is the largest archaeologically investigated settlement to date in the northern edge area of the distribution area of the band ceramic cultures in Central Europe. In 2016 there were renewed excavations due to construction activities. Fertile soil as well as the location on the Leine river and the water-rich Rase and Beeke streams favored the ascent.
middle Ages
Rosdorf was an important place in the early Middle Ages. The row grave field Rosdorf from the time of the Saxon Wars of Charlemagne confirms this, as is the donation of Rosdorf in December 781 to the Fulda monastery by King Charlemagne
Rosdorf was the center of the county of Rosdorf. The count's court, called "Scrannen", which is mentioned in documents around 970 and 1003, 1144 and around 1350, was connected to this county. In 1144 Lubecus mentions “comite Hermano de Rostorf” and “Anno domini 1146 Hermannus Graf zu Rostorf”. The Rosdorf counts - they were provided by the noble lords of Rosdorf (aristocratic family) for over a hundred years - resided at Rosdorf Castle, which was located next to the St. Johannis Church, at today's Mauerhof down to the Rase (Leine) , its walls Demolished in 1319 and its moat was filled in. The remaining foundations were destroyed in 1388.
The Rosdorf court reached its climax in 1144 when Count Hermann II of Winzenburg was enfeoffed with the Mainz fiefdom of Count Siegfried IV of Boyneburg- Northeim by Archbishop Heinrich I of Mainz- Horeburg. In 1209, King Otto IV. (HRR) expressly recognized the possession of Rosdorf by the Archdiocese of Mainz in a contract with Archbishop Siegfried II von Eppstein , whose tithe he personally held as a fief .
Several mills have been documented since the late Middle Ages . In the 18th century, grain, fulling, oil and grinding mills mark the beginning of industrial development.
Throughout the Middle Ages, in addition to monasteries such as Hilwartshausen , Mariengarten and Walkenried, various landlords in the area had extensive property in Rosdorf, which the villagers managed for them. This included the Lords of Rosdorf , who sat there in their ancestral castle until 1252. After they had acquired Moringen and Hardegsen , castle men lived in the castle, which was destroyed and razed in 1319. Subsequently, the city of Göttingen also forced the other noble families, such as von Roringen, von Bovenden etc., to give up or tear down their castle-like residences in Rosdorf.
After the property of the Lords of Rosdorf had been reduced through inheritance, sale and dowry for numerous daughters and had been bought up mainly by the Walkenried monastery and the city of Göttingen since 1221 , Hermann III. von Rosdorf made the last sale to the Walkenried monastery.
The Rosdorfer Warte was built between the 1380 and 1400 centuries . She did not belong to the Landwehr train of the city of Göttingen. Since the 15th century, the city of Göttingen in particular increased its property here, which is why Rosdorf was counted among the so-called city villages. It was not until 1970 that the city sold its last property in town, the Scholarship Court, which was elevated to a knighthood in 1894.
From the Thirty Years 'War , the Seven Years' War and the Napoleonic Wars, the place was hit hard several times. In 1667 a large fire destroyed more than 26 farms, on April 1, 1800 part of the town center was washed away by a rush flood. So it is not surprising that the majority of half-timbered houses today date from the 19th century.
20th century
During the Second World War , bombs fell on Rosdorf on September 27, 1944, creating 103 bomb craters. Three people were injured and 25 buildings were damaged.
A good infrastructure and the close proximity to the university town of Göttingen have made the place attractive not only as a place of residence, but also for the settlement of commercial enterprises. Extensive new building areas have emerged north and south of the town center, and further settlements on the western edge are planned. A belt of smaller companies and businesses follows the residential areas. The town, which was formerly characterized by agriculture, is about to transform itself into a quasi-urban municipality determined by trade and commerce.
In order to meet the demand for places in old people's homes in Rosdorf, the Johannishof old people's care center was opened on Kampweg in 1999. This was preceded by an initiative led by the St. Johannis parish since 1989. The Johannishof is run by the Diakonisches Werk St. Johannis Rosdorf.
The Rosdorf correctional facility has been located in Rosdorf since June 2007 as the central facility for several correctional facilities in southern Lower Saxony. In Rosdorf itself there are 308 detention places and an additional 10 detention places of security level I for adult men. Since May 24, 2013 (opening by Justice Minister Antje Niewisch-Lennartz, Greens ), the Lower Saxony Center for Preventive Detention has been located on the grounds of the Rosdorf prison. Since then, those sentenced to preventive detention in Lower Saxony and Bremen have been housed centrally in Rosdorf. If necessary, accommodation for convicts from the other northern German states (Hamburg, Schleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania) is possible and planned.
Incorporations
On January 1, 1973 the communities Atzenhausen, Dahlenrode, Dramfeld, Klein Wiershausen, Lemshausen, Mengershausen, Obernjesa, Settmarshausen, Sieboldshausen and Volkerode were incorporated.
Surname
The first written mention of Rosdorf as a Rasthorp is from the year 1004. The front vowel alternates between -a- and -o- in the mentions , with -o- predominating since the 12th century and also occurring in the river name. At the end of the 17th century, the river name changes to the current form Rase . The leading determining element of both compound names ultimately goes back, like today's German word Rohr , to the Germanic root * rauza of the meaning '(reed) pipe', which lives on in a similar phonetic state in the French word roseau with the same meaning . The following basic word for place goes back to the Germanic word þorpa for 'village, homestead', which occurs in Old Saxon as thorp . For the place name Rosdorf , which can be traced back to an original form * Raus-thorp , the meaning 'Schilfdorf' arises, for the water name Rase 'Schilfrohrbach , -wasser'.
politics
In the mid-1960s, planning began in Lower Saxony for the creation of larger administrative units in the countryside. The Rosdorf municipal council had spoken out in favor of the formation of a unified community and against joining Göttingen since 1968 . On January 1, 1973, the state law created the unified municipality of Rosdorf, to which, in addition to Rosdorf, ten other formerly independent municipalities belong. Since 1973, the district of Rosdorf, like the other districts with more than 400 inhabitants, has been able to elect a local council headed by the local mayor elected by the council . A local mayor was active in each of the smaller districts. With the "Law on the Reform of Lower Saxony's Municipal Constitutional Law of April 1, 1996", the formation of a local council is also possible in districts with fewer than 400 inhabitants, so that since then local councils have been in existence in all districts of the community, headed by local mayors.
From 1973 to 1985 Hans Morgenstern (SPD) was the parish director of the Rosdorf parish, from 1985 to 1997 Hans-Hermann Küllmer (SPD). In 1996, the two-track system was abolished in Lower Saxony in favor of the single-track system. From 1997 to 2014 Harald Grahovac (SPD) held the office of full-time mayor. Sören Steinberg (SPD) has been the full-time mayor of the Rosdorf community since November 1, 2014.

fire Department
The municipality of Rosdorf maintains a volunteer fire brigade in accordance with the Lower Saxony Fire Protection Act. This is divided into eight local fire brigades, which are represented in the villages of Atzenhausen, Dramfeld, Lemshausen, Mengershausen, Obernjesa, Rosdorf, Settmarshausen, Sieboldshausen and Volkerode (fire fighting group - Mengershausen affiliated).
Coat of arms of the municipality
The blazon reads: In blue above a lowered silver wave bar, a golden central shield surrounded on both sides and on top with 10 silver clover leaves, covered with a blue heart shield, inside two upright and turned away golden wooden keys.
Reason: The two outward-facing keys of the Lords of Rosdorf have been taken over from the former municipal coat of arms in the middle shield . The ten shamrocks framing it symbolize the new villages that now form a new administrative unit with the main town. The wavy bar indicates the Leine flowing through the municipality and its western tributaries.
Coat of arms of the village
The blazon reads: In the blue shield two silver (white) wooden keys with round handles, the beards turned outwards, in the silver (white) shield base a blue wavy ribbon.
Reason: The keys come from the coat of arms of the noble lords of Rosdorf. The wavy band symbolizes the lawn that rises from a strong spring near Rosdorf and rushes through the place.
Town twinning

Culture and sights
Buildings
The structural beginnings of the St. John's Church located in the center of the village go back to the Romanesque era . In 1699 the tower was given its current appearance, the Gothic nave was redesigned in Baroque style around 1725 . In the middle of the 19th century, the Hanoverian court painter Carl Oesterley senior redesigned the interior of the church in a neo-Romanesque style (in the “ Byzantine style ”). He also created the remarkable altarpiece, which contains references to both a current event in Rosdorf's local history and the change of the throne at the Hanoverian royal court. The recently reconstructed organ by the well-known Göttingen organ builder Giesecke can be heard not only at church services, but also at church concerts.

Federal motorway 7 runs across the Rosdorf area . There is a makeshift driveway in the area of the “Göttingen” rest stop, which is actually near Mengershausen . The expansion into a full-fledged junction is planned, but the details are highly controversial. The Drammetal triangle is near Dramfeld , where the federal motorway 38 meets the A 7. There is also a junction "Dramfeld" on the A 38.
The Bebra – Göttingen line , part of the old north-south line of the Federal Railroad, runs through the core town of Rosdorf . The stations in Rosdorf and Obernjesa are no longer served by passenger trains.
