Klein Heide is a district of the town of Dannenberg (Elbe) in the joint municipality of Elbtalaue in the Lüchow-Dannenberg district in Lower Saxony .

The village is located 4 km southeast of the edge of the core town of Dannenberg on a Wurt at approx. 15 m above sea level in the Jeetzel lowlands; the Alte Jeetzel flows around 500 meters to the west. District road 1 leads past the village to the west.

The Wendland encyclopedia gives 49 as the last population (probably from the 1987 census) . In the 19th century it was well over 100 (e.g. in 1871: 142).

Development

In terms of the settlement structure, Klein Heide is a particularly well-preserved example of a round village in Wurtenlage. 13 farmsteads are strictly sector-shaped radially around the village center. Several buildings, including two-column houses from around 1700, three-column houses from the early 19th century and four-column hall houses from the late 19th century, are of historical importance, even if they have been partially rebuilt or supplemented with new buildings over time.

A narrow street crosses the Rundling west-east. During the agrarian reform in the 19th century, a ring-shaped external development was also created. There and to the east of the Rundling there is a small extension of the area with younger buildings. During war events in the spring of 1945, courtyards no. 1 to 3 in the south-west of the Rundling burnt down; only one of them was rebuilt with modern buildings. All courtyards are provided with barns and stables mainly from the 19th century. The townscape is also characterized by old oak trees, which are also alley-like on the outskirts of the settlement.

Even today the village is dominated by full-time agriculture. The drained Jeetzel lowlands and the adjacent lower terrace are mainly used for arable farming, to a lesser extent as grassland. There is only a small area of ​​forest.

Recently a biogas plant was built northwest of the village . A planned large pig fattening stable was not approved for nature conservation reasons. In the area, which is designated as the EU bird sanctuary "Lucie", the bird species Ortolan occurs, among other things, which is legally "strictly protected" in Germany and "endangered" according to the Red List (in Lower Saxony "threatened with extinction") .
