history
Anderten had "many and abundant bubbling water sources" with good water quality since ancient times. For example, at the beginning of the 18th century, the village's free farmers decided to build the Anderter brewery to produce beer directly from two springs.
But the numerous springs and the clean water also promoted other jobs in Anderten, such as the laundry job - long before the invention of the washing machine. The washers practiced a physically demanding craft in the truest sense of the word . Only high-net-worth mansions sometimes had enough of their own domestic servants , who were then responsible for washing with up to eight maids and more on the laundry day with the washtub and washboard , with wrestling , bleaching through the power of the sun's rays, drying on the clothesline, ironing with the heat of the oven with electricity and the folding of the laundry.
In addition to the Hanoverian citizens, the house of the Guelphs was one of the customers of the Anderter washers in the Kingdom of Hanover . As a result, the place received the nickname "Laundry Anderten" from the surrounding villages. In the year 1895 there were four people in Anderten who had the laundry job as their main occupation.
