It was not until the 8th century that written reports and statements about events in the Salzgitter region began to appear. This was the time of the integration of the Duchy of Saxony into the Frankish Empire. From this event onwards, local and regional medieval events in and around Salzgitter are presented. Manor houses and castles show the manorial structures of the time. Life in the countryside in the fifty or so villages of the Salzgitter region was characterized by agriculture and crafts. With the integration of the Salzgitter region into the Frankish empire, Christianity was introduced. Christianization took place from Fulda Monastery via its Brunshausen branch monastery near Gandersheim and via Corvey Monastery. Numerous property deeds to churches and monasteries since the 8th/9th century prove this. There were three monasteries in the city of Salzgitter: in Ringelheim (941\*), in Steterburg (1001\*) and in Engerode (1235\*). In the south of Salzgitter, the salt village "Solte to gittere" developed in the High Middle Ages. Several salt springs came to the surface in the Warnetal valley. The farmers from the surrounding villages of Gitter, Vöppstedt and Kniestedt extracted the "white gold". There were 49 salt pans in which salt was boiled. The settlement that grew up around the salt springs was relatively small. A rampart and moats protected the village.
