history

Around 1500 Donnern was parish in the parish of Beverstedt and also belonged to the Beverstedt Börde. Around 1768 it was verifiably assigned to the aristocratic court of Beverstedt and during the French era to the municipality of Bexhövede. From 1851 to 1859, Donnern belonged to the Beverstedt office and later to the Lehe office until the Geestemünde district was founded in 1885 and the Wesermünde district in 1932 . The place became a rural community in 1840 and a district in 1876 . From 1971 to 1974 Donnern was a member community in the Loxstedt joint community and, after its dissolution, from March 1, 1974, a place in the unified community of the same name.

The bells are symbols of the churches.
