History

The area around the church of Schwarmstedt (ecclesia swarmstede) have been

donated by the Edelherr Mirabilis to the Bishopric of Minden around 1150AD.

The old church of Schwarmstedt was replaced around 1500AD by a new church (St. Laurentius Church), which stands to this day. It is presumed that the land changed ownership at the end of the 14th century and was then owned by the duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg.
