Missionary Willehad is said to have founded a chapel in Abickhafe or Abkehave in 781 during his stay in Östringen . This chapel was demolished in 1532 at the instigation of Count Enno II . Another story says that the building survived the Reformation and was used as a school around 1646.

On July 1, 1972, the former communities Abickhafe, Dose , Hoheesche and Reepsholt merged to form the community Reepsholt. In the course of the municipal reform on August 16, 1972, the municipality Friedeburg was formed from the previous municipalities Bentstreek , Etzel , Friedeburg, Hesel , Horsten , Marx , Reepsholt, Wiesede and Wiesedermeer .
