Feuerschützenbostel was first mentioned in a document in 1526 in a fiefdom from Duke Ernst the Confessor, in which Balthasar von Kimme was enfeoffed with Feuerschützenbostel. The von Kimme family is said to have received the fiefdom as a sub-fiefdom from the von Hodenhagen family. However, based on a note in the main register of the Bergen district bailiwick from 1571, it can be assumed that the farm had been in the possession of the von Kimme family since the first half of the 15th century. In 1541, the so-called Mielmannshof was the first cottager's place in Feuerschützenbostel. In a livestock register from 1589, three farms subject to tax are already mentioned, but only the Mielmannshof remains. The other two farms are no longer listed in the lists of the Winsen bailiwick from 1667 and the Sülze parish from 1657; the reasons for this are unknown.
At the end of the 20th century, tourism became increasingly important in Feuerschützenbostel. Today, the owners of the Mielmannshof run a country café and the manor rents out holiday apartments to tourists. Agriculture and forestry also continue to be of central importance to the town. The town is located directly on the Örtze, away from any through traffic. The owners of the manor, to which the manor house built in 1901 belongs, are the von Harling family. They have created a rest area in one of their wooded areas, with old mixed beech and oak forests.
