South of Drüber is Stöckheim and Buensen is located to the west.
History
Written records about Drüber start relatively late. In a deed from 1238 given by Otto I, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg a certain Ludolf von Drübere is mentioned. Due to its name it is thought that Drüber might be one of the oldest villages in the area. In 1886 a cooperative dairy was opened in Drüber by farmers from the villages around it. In 1970 that dairy was closed. On December 1, 1962 a central school for the villages Buensen, Drüber, Hollenstedt, Immensen, and Sülbeck started operation. Before that time only single classroom schools were used in these villages. The school was enlarged over time and is still operating under the name "Leinetalschulen" (Leine-Valley-Schools).
On 1. March 1974 the village was incorporated into the city of Einbeck.
