Lüdershausen is a district of the municipality Brietlingen , Samtgemeinde Scharnebeck , in the district of Lüneburg , Lower Saxony ( Germany ).
geography
The village of Lüdershausen lies in the middle of the Lüneburg Elbe Marsh. The still strongly agricultural place is surrounded by fields and meadows, but is mainly characterized by the Neetze river , which expands east of the village like a lake. Lüdershausen also has two forest areas: the Eichhagen in the west and the Weckenstedt on the eastern edge of the district .
history
Lüdershausen was first mentioned in a document in 1330. At that time it consisted of only two farms. Nevertheless, Lüdershausen was a coveted place, mainly due to the network crossing and the associated income. All the salt that was transported from Lüneburg to Lübeck had to be brought across the river by ferry. Because of its strategically favorable location, a castle was built at the Neetze crossing early on. By 1450 the village had grown to ten farms. After the end of the Thirty Years' War , the remains of the old castle, which had already been largely destroyed by acts of war , were torn down in 1650.
The villagers suffered greatly from the conflagration. So there were big fires in 1819, 1830, 1875 and 1882. Only a few houses were spared from the flames.
In addition to the fire, the water represented the greatest danger for the inhabitants of the Elbmarsch. In 1855 the Elbe dyke broke due to an ice flood near Artlenburg . The whole area around Lüdershausen was flooded by the floods. The water was partially up to the rooms of the houses.
During the First World War ten people from Lüdershausen were killed on the battlefields of Europe. In the Second World War were six villagers, three people were missing. A Polish slave laborer was executed in the village. Shortly before the end of the war, all residents had to leave the village by order of the British occupiers. Foreign prisoners of war and foreign workers were collected in the village before they were transported home. Lüdershausen was handed over to the Poles. It was not until September 1, 1945 that the residents and the many refugee families from the former German eastern regions were allowed to move back into their homes.
On March 1, 1974, Lüdershausen was incorporated into the neighboring municipality of Brietlingen.
