“When the Hanstedter got a place of worship, all the people in the parish were baptized. Only one stood apart and did not want to know anything about the Church or the Holy Scriptures. It was the violent giant Bruns who lived with his wife and daughter on the Brunsberg near Nindorf.
In his anger, the giant tried to hurl a large rock at Hanstedt and its church. "

In front of the church is the "Hanstedter Platz" with the bronze sculpture of the "Giant Bruns", who, according to legend, wanted to throw a rock at the first church built in Hanstedt.
The coat of arms of the municipality of Hanstedt (windmill, giant Bruns and the "Schmale Aue") are symbolically represented on the square. The bronze sculpture is a work by the artist Max Schegulla and dates from 1983.
