history
Büddenstedt was first mentioned in 1121 as Badenstedi . Later, a distinction was made between Groß Büddenstedt and Klein Büddenstedt, with Klein Büddenstedt being mentioned for the last time in 1547 and falling into desolation .
The village of Büddenstedt stood on rich brown coal seams and should therefore give way to the Treue open-cast mine after 1935 for coal extraction . However, the resettlement was very tough. The Braunschweigischen Kohlenbergwerke (BKB) succeeded in buying up all of the farms by 1937, but the number of inhabitants grew to almost 1,700 during this time because there was no ban on immigration and the need for housing was high. Even when a few rows of streets fell victim to the opencast mine in 1942, 730 people were still living in Büddenstedt.
From 1935, the Neu Büddenstedt settlement was built by the BKB not far from the old village. It was created according to plans by the Magdeburg architect Paul Schaeffer-Heyrothsberge . However, not only the residents of Büddenstedt settled there, but also people from other villages. It was not until 1947 that the last inhabitants left the village of Büddenstedt. This even required an instruction from the British military government. In 1947 the remaining houses and streets in the village were completely demolished, and in 1948 the station building followed as the last house. The place name Büddenstedt was not to revive until 1974, as a name for the amalgamation of the communities Neu Büddenstedt, Offleben and Reinsdorf / Hohnsleben.
After the Second World War , the region benefited economically from the BKB, whose lignite power station Offleben and later Buschhaus as well as several open-cast mines were partly located in the municipality. Relative prosperity made it possible to set up large public facilities in Neu Büddenstedt, such as the Erich Kästner School with sports facilities and a heated swimming pool. The population grew rapidly, partly as a result of the influx of displaced people, e.g. B. from the Sudetenland . From 1970, coal mined opencast mines were recultivated as forests or lakes, creating varied local recreation areas, e.g. B. in the former opencast mines Wulfersdorf, Alversdorf , Anna Nord and Anna Süd. In the former open-cast mine in Helmstedt north of Neu Büddenstedt, a large bathing lake is to be created from the inflow of groundwater from 2005, but this is expected to take several decades.
With the drying up of coal deposits in the 1990s, the good economic situation of the municipality came to an end, which was exacerbated by the discontinuation of zone border extraction . On August 9, 2002, the Offleben power plant was shut down, resulting in the loss of numerous jobs and dwindling tax revenues for the community.
By 2011, the power plants of the former Offleben power plant were completely dismantled and a commercial area was created on the former power plant site for new industrial and commercial enterprises to set up shop. This commercial area is the largest designated commercial area in the Helmstedt district. There are also a few larger employers left, such as Plastic Omnium SA. Through current measures to improve the quality of living and the environment, the change in the municipality of Büddenstedt from a pure “industrial municipality” to a residential municipality in the “green” is currently in full swing. The Buschhaus power plant was transferred to the reserve and will finally be shut down in 2021. The directly adjacent waste incineration plant of the EEW will continue to be operated and expanded with a sewage sludge incinerator.
Former municipality of Büddenstedt
The municipality of Büddenstedt had an area of 19.54 km² and 2485 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2015). The districts of Neu Büddenstedt, Hohnsleben, Offleben and Reinsdorf belonged to the community. While Büddenstedt continues to exist as a village in the city of Helmstedt, Hohnsleben, Offleben and Reinsdorf form the common village of Offleben.

The former municipality of Neu Büddenstedt had a squared shield as its own coat of arms since 1950, which showed fields 1 and 4 sticks and iron in black on silver and fields 2 and 3 in green. The municipality flag was black in the upper field and green in the lower field. |
 Local coat of arms Offleben: The coat of arms of the former municipality of Offleben from 1960 consisted of a black coat of arms with two rows of red and silver nested horizontal bars. The flag colors of the municipality of Offleben were black and white. |
 On May 21, 1974, the council of the municipality of Büddenstedt decided on a new coat of arms. The escutcheon is divided into black and silver, at the top a bar nested in two rows of red and silver, at the bottom black sticks and iron. The flag colors of the municipality are red-white-red. When designing this coat of arms, the local coats of arms of Neu Büddenstedt and Offleben were used. |
- Incorporations
The community was formed on March 1, 1974 through the merger of the communities Neu Büddenstedt , Offleben and Reinsdorf . As early as April 1, 1971, these three communities received small parts of the Alversdorf community, which had been dissolved due to open- cast lignite mining .
