history

Medieval documents did not initially differentiate between large fertilizer and small fertilizer . Linguistic differentiation was made between the two settlements only in the 14th century, when lutteken Dungen was mentioned in 1368 . Since there was a mill in Klein Düngen, all actions relating to the grinder therefore point to Klein Düngen. In 1307, the canon Ludolf von Wohldenberg transferred the mill to the Magdalenkloster in Hildesheim , which sold it to the cathedral chapter in 1608 .

While there is no documentary evidence of a church in Klein Düngen in the Middle Ages, the foundations of today's church indicate a building from the 13th century. Ecclesiastically, the church belonged to the Archdeaconate Detfurth. Since there was no clergyman in Klein Düngen, the settlement was looked after by the pastor of St. Gallus in Detfurth . In addition to the Detfurther archdeacon, the von Wohldenberg family could also have supported the building of the church. However, because of the original patronage of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary , funding from the Magdalenenkloster is also conceivable. The Marian patronage, which has existed since the beginning of the 14th century, was recreated between 1910 and 1914 in favor of St.

By merging the Banne Detfurth with Alfeld, the baptismal church of St. Gallus lost its special status as an archdeaconate church. The "parish rights" over the chapel community in Klein Düngen remained in place. Due to the close ecclesiastical connection between Klein Düngen and the Parish of Detfurth, their development ran parallel and thus the Reformation could not be introduced in Klein Düngen either. The Narrow Kaldic War and the Thirty Years' War also had an impact on Klein Düngen. The settlement was sacked and looted, the Marienkapelle damaged.

The year 1613 above a rectangular window on the north side of the chapel probably stands for a renovation of the church, the year 1701 on the coat of arms with salt hook on the church for the new construction of the chapel.

Due to the geographical proximity and the economic and political amalgamation of Groß- and Klein Düngen, St. Bernward was changed to the parish of St. Cosmas and Damian in Groß Düngen with an episcopal document dated April 1, 1940 . Through the formation of a chapel board, a committee was able to develop in Klein Düngen that looked after the interests of St. Bernward.

On November 1st, 2014 the parish of St. Gallus was established with its seat in Bad Salzdetfurth. In this context, the St. Bernward chapel parish in Klein Düngen was canceled and the newly established parish was added as a branch. Since then, St. Bernward has been a branch church of St. Gallus.

architecture

The chapel is a Gothic building made of quarry stones with corner blocks. The simple gable roof is crowned by a ridge above the west gable. The entrance was originally on the south side, but was later moved to the west side. Here is a portal with a pointed arch typical of the Gothic period.
