The independent until 1972 parish Bützfleth today is a town of the Hanseatic city of Stade . It is located on the Lower Elbe in the Stade district in the state of Lower Saxony and has around 4800 inhabitants. In the north, Bützfleth borders on the town of Barnkrug and in the south on the towns of Götzdorf and Schnee and is also known as the gateway to Kehdingen . Bützfleth is 1.6 m below to 1.8 m above sea level, depending on the part of the village, one of the lowest-lying places in Germany (especially Bützflethermoor ). Administratively associated villages are Abbenfleth in the northeast, Götzdorf , Götzdorfer Moor in the southwest, Bützflethermoor in the northwest and Depenbeck in the north.
history
Buttesvlethe was first mentioned in a document at the beginning of the 12th century in a donation from Bützflether lands to the Harsefeld monastery ; a chapel is also mentioned at that time, which is estimated to have been founded in 1050. Finds, however, show a Chaukisch-Saxon settlement of the area as early as the 1st century, which is also reminiscent of the urn in the coat of arms.
In the past centuries, village life was largely determined by the Lower Elbe , and many families were connected to shipping . On the fertile marshland in the flooded area of the glacial valley of the Elbe , there is also a lot of agriculture , mainly fruit growing . During the severe storm surge of 1962 , parts of Bützfleth were flooded.
The decision to relocate industry at the end of the 1960s also led to incorporation into the city of Stade on July 1, 1972, which is now the district of Stade-Bützfleth. Through the industrial development came in the next few years, many Turkish guest workers to Bützfleth that - now often in the second or third generation have become faster with their families part of Bützflether life, not far from the Nicolai - Church there is now a mosque from Turkish-Islamic cultural association Diyanet .
In the course of globalization , shipping has lost more and more importance for Bützfleth in the last few decades, and Bützfleth developed more and more into a suburb of Stade. The core area of the village has been expanded considerably over the years through the development of further new development areas . After the shutdown of the neighboring Stade nuclear power plant and the closure of the 130-year-old saltworks in 2003 and the VAW / Hydro aluminum plant at the end of 2006, the further development of the industrial area is uncertain and the situation of the many former suppliers and the labor market is difficult.
