Hondelage is first mentioned in 1179 in a papal document for the Aegidienkloster, which had goods there, as "Honloge" (1307 "Honlaghe", 1745 "Hondelah"). The original name ("high location") refers to a settlement on an open area in the woods on the high banks of the Schunter. In the period of 1223-1510, the lords of Honlag (h) e were owners of the castle on the "Lindenberg", which is not preserved. Between 1310 and 1510 Hondelage came in several steps in the possession of the Cistercian monastery Riddagshausen, to which the village belonged to the modern era. Under the spiritual patronage consolidated the rural structure of the place.
The gothic church of St. John (1), built in the 14th century (inscription on the south side of the tower in 1394), is preserved. The nave is said to have been built 50 years after the tower. In the 19th century, the church was renovated and expanded with an expansion of the choir. In the tower is the 1861 umgegossene bell from the neighboring village Hegerdorp (as the documentary name of 1307). This village was founded by the Lords of Honlag (h) e and abandoned by the inhabitants in 1553.
The village townscape is still visible along the Hegerdorfstraße (2), it was greatly changed after the Second World War. New settlements, medium-sized businesses and communal facilities as well as the community centers of St. John and St. Don Bosco (3) determine the life in Hondelage, which was incorporated on March 1, 1974 in the city of Brunswick.
