history

Kreuzkirche
Altenwalder Höhe

On the Altenwalder Höhe ( 37.5  m above sea  level ) there was an old Saxon burial ground with urns from the 3rd to the 8th century. The area was built over with the Franconian- Carolingian Altenwalder castle from probably around 797. There was a - possibly Pilgrimage chapel of the Holy Cross and Willehad, already donated by Charlemagne . It was ailing in the 14th century and was demolished between 1590 and 1629

Altenwalde was first mentioned in a document as Wolde in 1282 . In the 13th century there were two churches that have not been preserved in Wolde: The parish church of St. Cosmas and Damian and the Chapel of the Holy Cross.

The Archbishop of Bremen had the Midlum Monastery relocated to Wolde. In 1324 the parishes of Wolde and Groden were pledged by Duke Erich I of Saxony-Lauenburg to Wolderich Lappe for 200 Hamburg marks. In 1334 the Altenwalde monastery was relocated to Neuenwalde . In 1348 the place was mentioned as Oldenwolde .

The Altenwalder School was founded in 1487. From 1590 the "Franzenburg" was built and the 357 hectare Franzenburg domain was created as a Vorwerk . The castle was occupied by imperial troops in 1632. In 1644 the facility was razed.

The Altenwalder Mühle (also known as the Klostermühle ) existed from 1535 to the 20th century. A millstone was exhibited on site.

In 1698 the city received the right to have a market. A free wood, junk and cattle market was allowed. The Kreuzkirche Altenwalde was badly damaged by the Christmas flood in 1717 . In 1789 the Romanesque parish church made of field stones had to be demolished and by 1791 a new classicistic hall church made of bricks was built on the old foundation walls.

In 1803 the area was occupied by French troops. Other occupiers until 1914 were British, Dutch, Prussians and Russians. In 1818 the first paved road was built in Altenwalde, in 1842 and up to 1855 further paving of the Chaussee was made, which was Reichsstraße 6 from 1937 and was expanded as Bundesstraße 6 in 1960; since 1981 Landesstrasse  135.

The communities Arensch , Berensch , Cuxhaven , Döse , Duhnen , Groden , Gudendorf , Holte , Neuwerk , Oxstedt, Ritzebüttel , Sahlenburg , Spangen , Stickenbüttel , Süder- and Westerwisch belonged to the Hamburg office of Ritzebüttel until 1864 and then to the Ritzebüttel estate . In 1926 the municipalities of Arensch, Berensch, Duhnen, Groden, Gudendorf, Holte, Insel Neuwerk, Oxstedt, Sahlenburg, Spangen, Stickenbüttel, Süder- and Westerwisch became part of the Hamburg rulership. With the Greater Hamburg Act from April 1, 1937 were the municipalities Arensch, Berensch, Gudendorf, Oxstedt, Sahlenburg, Holte and bracelets on county land Hadeln , district of Stade of the Prussian province of Hannover .

In 1932 Altenwalde was assigned to the Land Hadeln district . The extensive settlement of people who have been displaced from their homeland gives Altenwalde new impetus in trade and craft. In 1957 the German Armed Forces opened their new locations in Altenwalde and Oxstedt.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1968, the formerly independent communities Franzenburg, Gudendorf and Oxstedt were incorporated into the community of Altenwalde.
