There is evidence that the first settlements here go back to the Bronze Age. Until the 19th century Baven consisted of 15 farmsteads, before the sale and division of an estate (Hofstelle) made new land available and the number of inhabitants rose markedly. In 1973 Baven was incorporated into the municipality of Hermannsburg as part of the regional and administrative reform in Lower Saxony.[1] Hermannsburg became part of Südheide in 2015.
Just north of the village a small stream, the Brunau feeds into the river Örtze.
