Geographical location
Billingshausen is located in the upper Rodetal on both sides of the Rodebach, the sources of which are to the south and east of the village. The steep slope of the Plessforst rises to the south and west of the village and the Lippberge to the south-east.
history
Since when Billingshausen has been continuously settled or when the place was founded is, as with most places, unknown. A first written mention can be found in the traditions of the Corvey Monastery from around 970 as Billugeshusen . However, individual historians also refer to other places with the same or similar names as mentioned in this document. There are other written mentions around 1200 and 1262 as Billingeshusen . The name is made up of the personal name “Billing” or “Billung” and the frequent place name broadcast “ -hausen ”. A connection with the Billunger sex is obvious, but has not been proven, especially since the Saxon Count Billing owned larger estates in Göttingen. The first written reference to the existence of Oberbillingshausen can be found in a document from the middle of the 13th century, in 1306 Niedern Billingeshusen is clearly mentioned in a document. So by the beginning of the 14th century at the latest, both districts existed as separate settlements. While Unterbillingshausen was under the rule of the Counts of Hardenberg , Oberbillingshausen belonged to the Plesse rule . In the later course of the local history, Oberbillingshausen fell to the district of Göttingen , while Unterbillingshausen belonged to the Hardenberg court and then to the district of Northeim . The parish church for both places as well as for the neighboring places Spanbeck and Holzerode was in Unterbillingshausen until 1540. However, with the introduction of the Reformation in the rule of Plesse, the confessional conditions changed, since then both villages and the surrounding villages of Spanbeck, Eddigehausen and Holzerode have practiced the respective denominations of the sovereigns. To this day, many residents of Oberbillingshausen are Protestant Reformed and the Unterbillingshausen are Protestant-Lutheran .
During the period of Napoleonic rule from 1806 to 1813, Unter- and Oberbillingshausen belonged to the Kingdom of Westphalia , but the French administrative principles and reforms could not be implemented in the short period of time, and the situation changed again after the Congress of Vienna . The Bovenden office was ceded to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1866, with the annexation by Prussia, the Hanoverian times for the Billingshäuser were again over. The old offices were transformed into rural districts in 1884. From then on, Oberbillingshausen belonged to the district of Göttingen, while Unterbillingshausen was incorporated into the district of Northeim .
The opening of the "Königshall-Hindenburg" potash mine in 1918 meant an important turning point for the residents of Ober- and Unterbillingshausen . For the next 20 years, the company was to be the most important employer on site, as well as in the Rode and Bevertal and neighboring communities . In 1938 the potash shaft was struck by an ingress of lye, but the mine was continued after the war, between 1946 and 1967. In the course of the territorial reform that came into force on January 1, 1973, Unterbilligshausen was reclassified to the Göttingen district and incorporated into the Bovenden district together with the municipality of Oberbillingshausen.

The Evangelical Lutheran St. Martini parish in Unterbillingshausen was merged with the Reformed parish in Oberbillingshausen on January 1, 2010 to form the evangelical parish of Billingshausen.

Ev. ref. Oberbillingshausen Church
The four-axis rectangular hall building was built in 1739, as can be read above the portal on the south wall. It is closed by a simple gable roof. At the west gable is a slate, octagonal roof turret with a simple tip. The roof turret is penetrated by sound openings arranged in pairs on all sides except the one to which the clock was attached. The walls are structured unplastered and are interrupted in the south by four, in the east by a segmented arched window with a stone frame. On the south side, the portal also forms a unit with the window above and the stone framing. The north wall is closed.
