During the French era , Grafel belonged to Mairie Anderlingen in the canton of Selsingen in the Kingdom of Westphalia from 1810 to 1811 , and from 1811 to 1814 Grafel was part of the Mairie Selsingen in the canton of Zeven in the French Empire .

Before 1859 Grafel belonged to the Börde Selsingen in the Zeven office . In the course of the administrative reform in the Kingdom of Hanover , the Börde Seslingen moved to the Bremervörde office . After 1885 Grafel belonged to the Bremervörde district , which in 1977 merged with the Rotenburg (Wümme) district to form the present Rotenburg (Wümme) district .

As early as 1848, the places Winderswohlde and Mojenhop belonged to Grafel. In 1968 the neighboring Fehrenbruch was incorporated into Grafel. From 1965 to 1974 Grafel was part of the then Selsingen municipality .

Former Fire station in Grafel

The first elementary school was opened in Grafel in 1850 . About 100 years later it was closed.

fire Department

The Grafel volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1952 and was responsible for Grafel and the surrounding small towns. Due to its small size and poor equipment, the fire brigade in Grafel was closed like many other small fire brigades in the area. Since then, the fire brigades in Anderlingen and Fehrenbruch have been responsible for Grafel; the old fire station is empty.
