History

At least since the Neolithic period, the area of the villages of the municipality Betz village is populated. Numerous finds this time position located in the collection of the Lüneburg Museum, some stone axes from that era are in local private ownership. In Glüsingen and Betz village the remains of two stone tombs can be seen, the Bronze Age burial mounds are found at various places in the districts of individual villages. So far, one older Iron Age urn cemetery could be determined in the district Glüsingen or Tellmer; in the community Betz village also is an approximately 600 burials originally comprehensive urn cemetery at Dröge Nindorf.

No longer visible above ground are the remains of a medieval oven in Glüsingen whose excavation was completed in July 1994. In the center of the excavation area, a thick, multi-layered clay layer was found under a number of sherds of the early Middle Ages was found. They mark the beginning of the furnace and thus probably also the date of origin of the village. In light of these archaeological finds, the putative identification of the 1104/ 05 first mentioned ( and in Lower Saxony duplicate! ) Place Glüsingen has been substantiated with the same name of the municipality Betzdorf on. The interpretation of the findings Glüsinger as remnants of an oven is also supported by the findings. It was found, inter alia, two knives, one of which has a direct parallel in a find from Lübeck. Both in the production of standard breads and biscuits to manufacture knives were for cutting the dough needed for scoring the unbaked loaves and cutting the bread before the second baking aisle. In comparison to the previously excavated oven findings from northern Germany the Glüsinger specimen shows very good dating possibilities and is therefore considered to be a very important find spot of the Middle Ages in the district of Lüneburg; an era that has been archeologically in Bardowick only on a larger scale. First documented in the time before the year 1000 is only the neighboring Tellmer to date ( 988 ).

In connection with the excavation of early medieval oven findings in Glüsingen also a number of smaller hills were known in the late nineties, which are located near the village in the edge region of the Süsingwaldes. Most likely there is at least one of the hills for a copy of which was included in 1570 on the occasion of border disputes in a system of so-called cutoff or Schnedehügeln, which at that time, between the Bailiwick Amelinghausen and the Office Ebstorf to the Monastery was based on earlier rights, the majority of the Süsingwaldes belonged since the end of the 12th century, posed. This presumption may only be viewed now by the results of the excavation confirmed. After completion of the excavation in 2001 of the remains of a stone attachment could be documented, with the edge of the hill body had been secured; a nearly square boulder was probably used as an additional marker. Obviously, the hill was built in the environment of older findings, which were destroyed in his plant. In heaped hills body a dozen haircuts flint and several small sherds of coarse workmanship have so far about to be rescued. Stray finds from the immediate vicinity of the hill confirmed the assumption that it is the remains of settlement pottery ( storage vessels ), which can only be generally dated as Iron Age date. In Betz village itself early medieval finds were discovered on the site of the so-called Barkhofes and in the edge region on the so-called mountain goats.

That the local church Adelshof associated patronage had originally held the family of edema; their possessions were only bought 1368-1378 for the most part from Ebstorf monastery in the village Betz Grotes are well off later. Possession of the bishopric of Verden is yet to prove in 1252 in all the places the church today Betz village. For the former presence of an attachment in place, inter alia, also speaks of the fortified round tower of Betzdorfer Church, which is the Adelshof opposite. Obviously, the Betzdorfer Barkhof was - as well as the now non-existent neighboring Hiller constable - one of the many victims of late medieval feuds between the federal government and the emerging town of Lüneburg.

Church

The St. Peter and Paul Church, with its round tower, the landmark Betzendofs. This was built around 1200 and should be a border tower and also the starting point of a secret tunnel, which made ​​it to the inhabitants possible to in case of distress secretly disappear. In the church there is a walled secret way, which was a former entrance to the grave vault located under the church. The church was so used simultaneously as a noble family grave lay. In the side walls of the church are grave plates that were immured for interred under the altar people. The Betzdorfer steeple is one of the few Lüneburg towers, which is to be assigned with certainty to the Romanesque period.
