Iddensen ( Low German Jiddens ) is a village in northern Lower Saxony in the municipality of Rosengarten in the Harburg district . The population is 455 including the Hinteln district (as of January 1, 2008). The Low German name Yiddens is derived from earlier place names. In the official atlas of the Principality of Lüneburg by Johannes Mellinger around 1600, the name of the village is Jiddensen . In the Kurhannoversche Landesaufnahme (created 1764–1784) the village is recorded as Jeddensen .

There are no recreational institutions such as a sports or shooting club. The only organization that has a strong influence on village life is the volunteer fire brigade (currently 38 members, 31 of them active). It was founded in 1934. The youth fire brigade was founded in 1977 and is still exceptionally successful today at community and district level. The volunteer fire brigade can be seen as the initiator of the village activities and has a high social function within the village.

Mayor is Heino Peters.

On July 1, 1972, Iddensen was incorporated into the municipality of Nenndorf. The name of this municipality was officially changed to Rosengarten on July 18, 1973 . Iddensen is the smallest village within the municipality of Rosengarten. The Hinteln district can hardly be separated from the rest of the village. Nevertheless, it is documented as a separate district in the municipal administration. To this day, Iddensen is relatively strongly characterized by agriculture, despite many new development areas in recent years.

coat of arms

The Iddensener coat of arms represents a blue mill on a yellow background, each surrounded by 2 × 3 red hearts. The coat of arms can be seen on the page of the tractor friends Iddensen (LINK see below). The mill symbolizes the former Iddensener windmill (mill type "Dutch"). It stood on the "Iddensener Mühlenweg" road on a field that is now used for agriculture. It burned down completely on August 12, 1912 and was never rebuilt. The six red hearts symbolize the six largest courtyards in Iddensen, which form the core of the old village.
