History

Rötgesbüttel has existed for more than 770 years. For the first time " Rotlekesbutle " 1226 was mentioned. If you follow the local name research into the development of " constable " - places (see Samtgemeinde Papenteich ), so the village is probably even a few centuries older. In the Middle Ages, the place had significance for the passage of traffic on the old trade route from Hamburg to Braunschweig.

1250 a chapel was built, which was in 1928 a new extension.

The old Gografenhaus, built in 1591, is the oldest house in the village. Here was formerly the seat of the supreme government for the whole area.
