History

The first written mention of the village Bovenden is delivered in a charter of Otto the Great on 2 February 949, in the later Emperor notarized an exchange transaction with the Hersfeld Abbey. The name was there Bobbenzunon and is later than Bobbantun ( 1141 forgery of the 13th century ), Bobentun ( 1170 ) and Bobentum ( 1191 ), handed down since the 13th century as Boventen and since the late 16th century in its present form. The Namensherleitung is still controversial, obvious is an interpretation as the composition of a personal name Bovo, Bob ( b ) o the suffix "- do " with the suffix - do ( is in Low German for " fence containment ", or " fenced area " - hence also the English " town" ), ie an entity created or controlled by Bobo be cherished settlement. Another interpretation is not of a personal name, but of the tribe bioðan ( = "above", see Low German boven ) from, so be harbored a settlement above the flood plain of the leash.

From the 12th century occurs for the first time to the noble lord family of the lords of Boventen whose earliest mention comes in a document from the year 1170. In this document, when it comes to donations around Bovenden to the monastery Helmershausen, a Bodo von Boventen is enumerated in a series of witnesses, from 1211 then pass the Lords of Boventen as patrons of the local chapel. In the following decades, the family succeeded by Boventen to expand their goods, so they already had vast estates in the wider area around the middle of the 13th century, but their capital was Bovenden in which it 7 yards, 11 1/2 hooves country and 2 meadows and their castle had. Outside of their home town they came as Burgmannen on the Hardenberg, were the main hiss and services were often witnesses among hard salvors. However, the proximity to Kurmainz not prevented the assumptions of Bovenden also fief of Guelph. In the 14th century they changed then more and more in the braunschweiger bearing on, for example, knight Günther Bovenden praised the Duke Otto of Brunswick, 1364 against anyone except the Archbishop of Mainz, to be helpful and if Duke Otto them from their alliance with Kurmainz could exempt only to serve him. For two centuries the lords of Boventen had significant influence on the fortunes of the place, until they gradually lost its importance at the end of the 14th century. Only one line, the one on Lenglern led after 1500 passes the name. The possessions of the lords of Boventen referred to in documents as nobiles and miles, switched over to the noblemen of Plesse. In Bovender arms today, remembers the key to the main office of the hiss Burgmannen on the Hardenberg.

Since the 14th century the lords of Plesse as the most important landowners in Bovenden are detectable. Your entire estate she wore on October 28, 1447 on the Landgrave Ludwig I of Hesse and got it from this as Erbmannlehen back. In this way they could against the Duchy of Brunswick -Lüneburg maintain a higher degree of self-determination. After the extinction of Plesser 1571 rule Plesse fell to Hesse- Kassel, and was now a Hessian enclave. Since the 16th century Bovenden got as the most important place of dominion Plesse more rights: By John Letzner it was in 1587 first described as spots, which at least indicates a market law, and in 1605 was awarded the right to brew beer.

After the abandonment of the castle Plesse 1660 was Bovenden administrative headquarters, a new office building was built from 1777 as a representative baroque complex on the site of two former Meier courtyards of the monastery Steina. The representation and management tasks were performed in this Hessian castle until 1815, it served as the hunting lodge of the Landgrave of Hesse -Rotenburg. The location as an enclave offered various professions special development opportunities. Since 1860, the State Forestry Service Bovenden is housed in the building until 1859, it served as the administrative headquarters of the then defunct Hanover Office Bovenden.

In connection with the formation of the Göttingen Georg -August- University Bovenden also experienced in the second half of the 18th century an economic boom. Many students came to the place that was still an enclave of Hesse- Kassel to be there to watch propelled theater groups to dine in the restaurant "Zum last penny " and in the Ausflugsgaststätte noise water or with wine, brandy, coffee and sugar to stock, which were provided in Göttingen with a luxury tax. In the course of these events, which were considered by the authorities of the University of Göttingen as a waste of time, and debt debauchery Make the students, there was talk then of the " Bovender danger".

As part of the community and local government reform, the eight villages Eddigehausen, Emmenhausen, Harste Lenglern, Upper Billingshausen, Reyershausen, Spanbeck and the previously located in the district of Northeim Under Billingshausen were incorporated into the town Bovenden on 1 January 1973.
