geography

history

Groden emerged from the merger of several farms. At the beginning of the 13th century, the nave of the Romanesque church of St. Abundus was built from field stones. In 1324, Duke Erich I of Sachsen-Lauenburg pledged the parishes of Groden and Altenwalde to Wolderich Lappe .
For their part, the Lappes pledged the parishes to Hamburg in 1372 . Because the repayment was not due in 1374, Groden and Altenwalde came under the pledge of Hamburg.

On July 31, 1394, the pledged parishes officially became Hamburg property through a purchase agreement and thus also part of the Hamburg office of Ritzebüttel.

A school in Groden was first mentioned in 1562. In 1629 the first school building was built. In 1616 work began on damming the Groden outer dyke. On June 26, 1756, large parts of Groden were destroyed by a tornado. The massive square church tower dates from 1785, the choir and the elevation of the nave made of bricks from 1868. A new building for the Groden school was built in 1911.
