St. Cosmas and Damian

St. Cosmas and Damian is the Roman Catholic Church in the district of Wöhle in the municipality of Schellerten in the Lower Saxony district of Hildesheim. It now belongs to the parish of St. Nicholas Ottbergen in the Borsum-Sarstedt deanery of the Diocese of Hildesheim.

Wöhle was first documented in 1178 as Walete and in 1554 as Woilde. In 1178, the Lamspringe Monastery acquired land there, followed by the Godehard Monastery in 1227 and the Kreuzstift in Hildesheim in 1478. The tithe has been owed to the Hildesheim cathedral chapter since 1232. In documents from Bishop Konrad II of Riesenberg and his successor Bishop Heinrich I of Rustenberg, the knights of Wöhle are mentioned, who until 1227, when Knight Heinrich of Wöhle fell ill with the plague, owned three hides of land as a bishopric fief in the village.
