history

The community Kudensee was first mentioned in 1454 under the name "Uth dem Kudensee". Its history is closely linked to major water management measures and changes. The first settlers came towards the end of the 16th century and initially took possession of the meadows on the shores of the shallow Kudensee . They built small thatched cottages on the moor bordering the lake . In 1765 the Büttel Canal was built to drain the Kudensee. The construction of the Kiel Canal cut through the municipality (much later). Around 1700 peat was transported on the waterways from Kudensee u. a. carried out in the harbor of the nearby Brunsbüttel . The “Kudenseer Kahn” was used for this purpose, a nine-meter-long barge that could hold up to 7000 sod peat .
