history

The medieval village church of Sottrum was incorporated into the Derneburg monastery since the 14th century . In 1542 the Guelph dukes, who had ruled the area since the Hildesheim collegiate feud , introduced the Reformation in the monastery and the village churches . After the reestablishment of the Hildesheim monastery within the old borders in 1643, the monastery was again occupied by Cistercians , but the village churches remained Lutheran. The Derneburg monastery church of St. Andreas became the official parish church for the region's Catholics .

After the abolition of the Derneburg monastery, its buildings and lands were sold. The monastery church was partially demolished in 1815 (the remains were later included in Laves' palace construction). As a substitute financed Klosterkammer Hannover the new church in Sottrum for which the Andreas - patronal feast was taken over by Derneburg.
