There are no records of the construction of the Groß Denkte church. Legend tells that it was built from the stones of the Asseburg Castle, which was destroyed in the early Middle Ages. An original document from Pope Innocent III from 1206 confirms the transfer of the Groß Denkte property, including the church, to the Bad Gandersheim Abbey. Thus, the church existed long before the Reformation. Until secularization in 1803, the abbesses of the Bad Gandersheim Abbey were the local rulers of Groß Denkte. Therefore, the Groß Denkte coat of arms also features the crosier, for "life is good under the crosier." This was a peasant saying in the Middle Ages, as the clerical authorities were considerably more lenient than the secular lords when it came to collecting taxes and duties. There is evidence that the church was robbed during the Schmalkaldic War (1546/47). During the Second World War, Groß Denkte and the church, including its then-spire, were severely damaged in a British bombing raid on January 14, 1944. This raid was originally intended to have targeted Braunschweig. Due to a lack of materials, the destroyed roof structure could not be rebuilt until 1948. After its complete restoration, the church was finally consecrated on the third Sunday of Advent in 1956. On the first Sunday of Advent in 2003, an organ by organ builder Amadeus Junker from Meinersen was consecrated. The congregation had saved up for it for decades, having had to make do with a makeshift instrument since 1956. No name for the Groß Denkte church appears in old records. More recent research suggests it could possibly be "St. Peter and Paul." After the renovation of the church tower, the congregation would like to give their church a name and is therefore continuing to follow old traces.

The Ösel is a 156-meter-high hill southeast of Wolfenbüttel in Lower Saxony, also referred to as the Öselberg on maps. The Ösel is located five kilometers southeast of the core city of Wolfenbüttel in the Neindorf area, which is part of the municipality of Denkte. There are two hill ranges in the surrounding area. The Asse lies about three kilometers to the northeast, and the Oderwald forest about four kilometers to the west on the other bank of the Oker River. The hill, which rises about 70 meters above the surrounding landscape and has been designated a landscape conservation area since 1966, is covered with extensive grasslands for almost two kilometers in length and one in width. This nutrient-poor grassland, created by intensive sheep farming, represents a historic landscape that was once characteristic of large parts of the East Brunswick Hills. A sparse tree population covers only the eastern slope, while shrubs and bushes fill the edges and depressions of the numerous former limestone quarries. In some areas, very old cherry trees can be found. (Source: Wikipedia)

The Asse is a wooded ridge rising up to 234 m above sea level, located east-southeast of Wolfenbüttel in the Lower Saxony district of Wolfenbüttel (Germany). The average elevation of the almost 9 km long and 3 km wide Asse is 200 m, which means it rises about 100 m above the surrounding area. The highest elevation is the Remlinger Herse, at 234 m. In good weather, the ridge offers views of the Elm and Harz mountains, as well as the fertile loess plains of the Schöppenstedter Mulde and the Remlinger Mulde. (Source: Wikipedia)
