history

The first written mention of the place took place in 1317. The settlement was founded on an old long-distance trade route, the approximate course of which today follows the federal road 3 and which leads directly past Varrigsen.

In 1912, after a useful life of 345 years, the half-timbered chapel was demolished. Then a single-class school was built, which was used until 1963, with a prayer room as an extension.

For many years, Varrigsen belonged to the district of Gandersheim and was incorporated on March 1, 1974 as part of a regional reform with the previously independent municipality of Ammensen in the spots of Delligsen.

The mayor is Hans-Werner Raabe (SPD).
