Nordsteimke

In 1238, the place was mentioned in a document as Steinbeke. In 1332, the name is given as Stembeke and in this century, a family of Steimke owned feudal properties here. Only from 1440 is there talk of Nordsteimke. The noble landowners in the village were the family von Mahrenholtz, who appeared in 1303. During the Thirty Years' War, Franz Julius von Mahrenholtz sought help from the city of Braunschweig due to looting. He could not hold onto the manor, which then passed to Frantz Julius von dem Knesebeck. In 1654, Matthäus Merian described Nordsteimke as follows:
In the village, Heinrich Büssing, the pioneer of truck and bus construction and founder of the later Büssing AG, was born in 1843. His birthplace is the former village blacksmith's shop, which was converted into the Heinrich-Büssing-Haus Museum in 1988. There he learned the blacksmithing trade from his father.
