In addition, there was the Nikolaikirche on Sandberg. Outside the town was in the period of 10./11. Century on a hill on the Aller the old castle Verden as a hill fort. From the 11th century to 1648, the Prince-Bishopric of Verden existed as an independent territory, in which the Verden bishops and their Lutheran legal successors ruled as imperial princes. On March 12, 1259, Verden was granted city rights under Bremen law by episcopal privilege. In 1476 Berthold II von Landsberg founded the Augustinian convent Mariengarten "our leven Frouven Rosengarten" in the northern part of the city, in whose rooms Franz Wilhelm von Wartenberg had the Jesuits move in in 1630, so that the nuns had to move to the Frankenberg convent. In the 15th century, Verden became a free imperial city until the end of the Thirty Years' War. In 1568 the Reformation was introduced in the "Verden Abbey" by the sovereign and evangelical bishop Eberhard von Holle (born 1531 in Uchte).

Ferdi in Saxonia, under this name Verden is mentioned for the first time in roughly today's name form in a document from Charlemagne. The name refers to a ford or ferry. In 782, the subjugation of the Saxons by Charlemagne came to a cruel climax in the Verden area during the Saxon Wars: Apparently 4,500 residents of the then sparsely populated region were executed in the so-called “Verden Blood Court” after they refused to submit to the Frankish King Charles and embrace the Christian faith. Around 850[2] the diocese of Verden was established, which disappeared as an ecclesiastical diocese during the Reformation. In the following centuries, the city grew together from two settlement centers: the Norderstadt with its town hall and St. John's Church and the Süderstadt with the spiritual center around the cathedral, to which the fishing settlement on the Aller was attached.
