history

Flutwidde was mentioned by name in the year 1022 in the document for the foundation of the St. Michaeliskloster in Hildesheim by the Hildesheim bishop Bernward (around 950 / 960-1022). In it, the monastery is equipped with properties and goods, including:

"In pago Flutwidde in prefectura Thammonis: Alenhusen, Eddinkhusen, Scelhusen, Wendelingeroth, Hardeshem, Utisson, Siradisson, Schęplica, Waditlagun."

The owner of the mentioned domain, Tammo (also Thankmar ; around 960-1037), a brother of Bishop Bernwards, was a count in Astfala and Flutwidde.

Surname

The interpretation of the name turns out to be somewhat difficult, since it is mentioned in documents as Flutwide , Flutwidde (1022), Flotuvita (1052), Vlotwede , Flotweda , Flotwide , Flotweda , Flotwedda , Flottwedel , Flodweddel , Fludwedel and Flutwide .
But the first part can certainly not be relied on by hochdt. Flood or engl. flood , and the second can hardly mean anything other than forest or forest landscape ( mnd. wēde , and. wido / widu ) - with the confusion with mnd that can also be found elsewhere. -wēdel , and. -widil " Furt ." (The reference that flotwedel means something like tidal wave, however, has no basis.)

Today the name Flutwidde exists , in a derived form, as the name of the integrated municipality Flotwedel , which was formed in 1972 from the individual municipalities Bröckel , Eicklingen , Langlingen and Wienhausen .
