history

Rotenkirchen with arable farming in the Feldmark and Grubenhagen Castle in the 17th century

Village and castle

Partial western view of the domain

According to Johannes Letzner , Duke Philip I of Braunschweig-Grubenhagen initiated the construction of a court in the 16th century . Philip II received this farm and at the same time the Katlenburg from his older brother and predecessor Wolfgang as apanage and arranged for the further expansion.

In 1816 the newly appointed governor-general and later viceroy Adolphus Frederick had a hunting lodge built according to plans by Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves . In 1837 it fell to his brother Ernst August I. It also included gardens designed by Franz Christian Schaumburg . A chapel built in 1588 was canceled by conversion. Her altar and pulpit were brought to the Dassensen church . In 1868 Matthias Rabbethge, son of Matthias Christian Rabbethge , leased the associated domain. The domain is a complex of about a dozen buildings that form a square courtyard. The manor house was partly decorated artistically with grisaille painting. Today's Rotenkirchen village developed south of the domain.

Rotenkirchen was incorporated on March 1, 1974 into the district of the city of Einbeck.

Office

In 1549 the Rotenkirchen office replaced the Grubenhagen office.

The canton of Rotenkirchen existed from 1807 to 1813, the mayor of which was forester von Dassel . During this time, the office building and court were owned by Pierre Daru .

The surrounding villages of Edemissen , Dörrigsen , Odagsen , Iber , Strodthagen , Buensen , Stöckheim , Wetze , the estate Wickershausen , Dassensen , Wellersen , Hullersen , Holtensen , Vardeilsen , Avendshausen , Rengershausen , Kuventhal , Andershausen and Kohnsen belonged to the Rotenkirchen office until 1826. Then it was united with the office of Salzderhelden and the official seat with the name Grubenhagen was moved to Salzderhelden .

Desolation

Not far to the east of today's village there was a village with the same name in the Middle Ages that fell into desolation . The village of Rotenkirchen was first mentioned in a document in 1203. In an archaeological excavation in 2010, post holes were found there , which are interpreted as traces of a settlement that already took place at the time of the linear ceramics ; other traces come from the Roman Empire . After the Middle Ages, the place was outside the Einbeck Landwehr . During the siege of Grubenhagen Castle in 1448 by an alliance led by Wilhelm I. , Heinrich II. , Wilhelm II. , Friedrich III. and Ludwig I. Rotenkirchen was destroyed and fell desolate .

Culture and sights

Buildings

In the 19th century a castle was built in the village, which was used by the Hanoverian kings for leisure purposes. Today a leased estate is owned by the state of Lower Saxony. The former economic building of this facility located in the upstream forest is now used by the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics for geoscientific research.

Furthermore, not far from the place was the former Grubenhagen Castle , which was built before the 13th century and is mentioned in 1263 with the words ante castrum Grubenhagen . The Lords Grubo von Grubenhagen sat at the castle as ministerial officers of the Brunswick dukes, the builders of which the Counts von Dassel should be considered, as the area of ​​the Ahlsburg was once part of their domain. In the 14th century the castle was often loaned out or pledged, later the Guelph Dukes only occasionally resided on site until the castle gradually fell into disrepair by the end of the 16th century. A century later, we broke it down to the dungeon , and built from the recovered stones a farm building in Rotenkirchen.
