history
The first settlements in Godenstedt go back to the Neolithic. Various Stone Age graves and tools were found in the local area.
In 1500 the place called "Gudenße" consisted of five farms. Towards the end of the 19th century, a large limestone marl deposit was discovered in Godenstedt, near the Oste, which was extracted until the beginning of the First World War in 1914 and optimized through various infrastructure innovations. This includes, for example, the Bremervörde - Rotenburg railway line built in 1906, which significantly improved lime sales.
In the thirties, attempts were made again to mine lime. However, this was discontinued due to inefficient conditions. A mammoth tusk was found in the limestone layers and is now exhibited in the State Museum.
