Gudendorf ( Low German Godendbod ) is the southern part of the Altenwalde district of Cuxhaven in Lower Saxony .

history

Gudendorf and Franzenburg were first mentioned as a small community around 1800. It was not until around 1890–1900 that Gudendorf developed to a large extent from Altenwalde.

The communities Arensch , Berensch , Cuxhaven, Döse , Duhnen , Groden , Gudendorf, Holte , Insel Neuwerk , Oxstedt , Ritzebüttel , Sahlenburg , Spangen , Stickenbüttel , Süder- and Westerwisch belonged to the Hamburg office of Ritzebüttel until 1864 and then to the Ritzebüttel estate . In 1926 the municipalities of Arensch, Berensch, Duhnen, Groden, Gudendorf, Holte, Insel Neuwerk, Oxstedt, Sahlenburg, Spangen, Stickenbüttel, Süder- and Westerwisch became part of the Hamburg rulership. With the Greater Hamburg Act from April 1, 1937 were the municipalities Arensch, Berensch, Gudendorf, Oxstedt, Sahlenburg, Holte and bracelets on county land Hadeln , district of Stade of the Prussian province of Hannover .

Approx. Around 1750 a sheepfold was built in Gudendorf, which was restored for the first time in 1850 and was later considered a historical building, as it was the oldest building in Gudendorf. Around 1890–1900 the building was restored a second time, but very sloppily, which is why it collapsed in 1950 and the remains of the building were disposed of and burned.

Around 1930 a bathing establishment with changing rooms was opened in Gudendorf , right next to it a large sports and playground on the five mountains, because Gudendorf had a second large increase in population at this time. In the summer of 1946, the bathing establishment was torn down, the pools emptied and filled in, as the wood used as firewood was needed in the post-war period and there were no visitors. The outdoor pool was located at today's Schützenplatz, next to the “Auf dem Berge” road.

Incorporations

On July 1, 1972, the Altenwalde community was incorporated into the city of Cuxhaven.
