history

Voitze was probably founded as a Rundling by the Wends between the 6th and 8th centuries . The name comes from Old Slavonic and means 'People of Voj' or 'Place of Voj', where Voj is the name of a warrior. In 1337 Voitze was first mentioned in a document as Vödesse . From the 15th century, part of the place belonged to the Mark Brandenburg , the other part to the Principality of Lüneburg . During the Thirty Years' War , the Lüneburg district was badly damaged by the troops of General Tilly . In 1690 a shepherd's cottage in the no man's land between the two districts was mentioned. There illegitimate mothers did not have to fear any fines, so that the cottage was frequented by mothers from all over the surrounding area. In 1692, the Wallstawe treaty handed over the Brandenburg half of Voitzes to the Duchy of Lüneburg-Celle. The citizens of Voitz used the church in Altendorf to go to church for a long time .

In the second half of the 19th century, the place grew and became a street village . 18 Voitz men died in the First World War, 31 in the Second World War; among them were three Voitzers who were killed in the village towards the end of the war. In 1965 a village community school for Voitze, Tülau-Fahrenhorst and Wiswedel was founded in Voitze. The Wiswedel children have been going to school in Brome since 1973, and a kindergarten was also set up at the Voitz school.

In 1919 there were 269 people living in Voitze. By 1939 the number rose to 282; by 1950 it rose to 516 because of the influx of refugees. In 1985 the population was 354. In 1984 there were 19 farms there, by 2010 there were four.

The municipality of Voitze joined the joint municipality of Brome on July 1, 1965 . On January 1, 1974, it merged with Tülau-Fahrenhorst to form the municipality of Tülau, which on March 15, 1974 became part of the newly founded joint municipality of Brome.
