history

The climatic health resort of Bendestorf can look back on over 1000 years of history. It is first mentioned in a document in 970. Bendestorf is located in a small valley that extends down to the Seeve and has around 2,000 inhabitants. The village became famous after the Second World War through the Bendestorf film studios ( location ). Some homeland films were made here , e.g. B.

Place name

Former place names of Bendestorf were in the 8./9. Century Bennestorf and in the years 1004 Bennedesthorp, 1017 Bennedesthorp, 1025 Bennedestorp, 1157 Bennedesthorp and from the 10th to 12th centuries Benestorf.

The name Bennedesthorp / Bendestorf is a complex place name that consists of the elements Bennedes and -thorp. The basic word thorp is based on Old Saxon thorp, Middle Low German dorp, meaning “village, farmstead”. As the original first element of the name Bennid, first names in Bern, such as Bernhard, Beringer, Berinher, Beringard, Berinfried (and others) come into question. The first link is based on Old High German bero, Old Saxon bera "bear" and the short form Bennid as well as the common name Benno originated from the assimilation of the -r- to the following -n-. Assimilation is a natural process within any language.
