history

middle Ages

As early as the Middle Ages, Selsingen was of great importance as an aristocratic seat, Kirchbörde and place of jurisdiction on an old military and postal route, the current federal road 71 . The place was first mentioned in a document in 1219. At that time a noble family "von Selsingen" had their ancestral castle here. Around 1400 the sovereign, the bishop of Verden , had the castle destroyed for reasons that were not known in detail. From then on, the family only lived in their house in Kuhla near Himmelpforten and soon called themselves “von der Kuhla”. Around 1500 the place consisted of 5 courtyards and 10 cottages.

Modern times

Because of the dense development of nine courtyards, which were grouped around the church in the center, the village burned down three times in the 17th century; only the church was spared.

In 1848 further towns and farms such as Butterberg , Duvenmoor , Haidbrock and Witte Masch began to be established outside the town. The mill was built in 1868.
