Origin of the place name

The word Diestedde goes back to the existence of a Thing site. Thing is an old German expression for the place where a court or tribunal was held and the sentence was carried out. The Thing site in Diestedde is the "1000-year-old oak" tree near Crassenstein Castle. Even if the tree is most likely less than 1000 years old, trials were held on this tree in the Middle Ages and judgments were carried out (often by hanging on this oak).

Thing then became Thie in the language change and through a sound change from T to D the current name Diestedde was created.
