Upende

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Upende is a village in the South Brookmerland district of Oldeborg . It is first mentioned in 1470 as Uthenger up eende . The current spelling has been in use since 1645. The name means upper (= extreme) end. Upende is still part of the Engerhafe parish.

In 1938 the formerly independent rural communities of Engerhafe , Fehnhusen , Oldeborg and the western part of Upende were combined to form the larger municipality of Oldeborg, which together roughly comprised the area of ​​the medieval parish Engerhafe. The eastern part of Upende was added to the former municipality of Victorbur .

The municipalities of Victorbur and Oldeborg went on July 1, 1972 as part of a territorial reform in the municipality of Südbrookmerland , of which they are still a part.
