history

The church village has existed since the 11th century and a few centuries ago was a regionally important center and market place of the then Börde Debstedt in the Bederkesa office . The Börde included the parishes of Holßel and Debstedt. Around 797, Charlemagne had the first church built, which became a pilgrimage and fortified church.

The Dionysius Church Debstedt was built around 1200 and rebuilt after a fire in 1913. In the influential parish of Debstedt Debstedterbüttel, Langen, Sievern , Wehden , Laven and Spaden were also parish. Today only Debstedt, Sievern and Wehden belong to it.

During the French period Debstedt belonged to the municipality of Lehe . After the victory over Napoleon, the office of Bederkesa was restored and Debstedt's affiliation to it as well. In 1840 the village got the status of a rural community. After the dissolution of the office, the community belonged to the office Lehe (1852-1885), Lehe district (1885-1932), Wesermünde district (1932-1977) and Cuxhaven district, respectively .

In a fire on July 13, 1912, the church was largely destroyed as well as 26 of the 56 existing houses and farms in the village.

At the end of the 1950s, the city bus line L of the Bremerhaven AG transport company was extended from Friedrichsruh to the municipal boundary of Langen / Debstedt; Debstedt received a regular public transport connection that ran at regular intervals.

The local nurse and local writer is Jan Heino Hanewinkel.

Incorporations

Since January 1st, 2015 Debstedt has been part of the newly founded city of Geestland.

During the five days, the village youth get to know each other and spend time together when they fetch the maypole from the forest, tie the wreath and finally set it up with the help of tree forks. Every year the elders from the village youth are appointed as carers. You can participate after your confirmation. After the tree has been set up, the youngsters drive through the village on a tractor trailer and sing songs. At Pentecost, everyone goes to Steinau together.
