History[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Schlewecke was first mentioned in 1147 as Sleueken and in 1180 as Sclivede. The suffix Schle- stems from a Proto-Germanic root *slaihwō and cognates to German Schlehe and English Sloe. The prefix either means "creek" or cognates to English -th, as in "wealth", "strength". Other names were Slevedhe and ' 'Slyofede.[8]
Timeline[edit]
Schlewecke was always an unimportant village of farmers and woodcutters. The recent church was built in 1708.
On January 1, 1963, the community of Schlewecke merged with Bündheim to Bündheim-Schlewecke, that again became part of Bad Harzburg on July 1, 1972.
