history

The area around Lüdingworth had been populated since around the birth of Christ. The name of the elongated march hooves village refers to the Wurthen ( mounds ) on which the farms were built earlier. The 4.90 m high Kirchwarft can still be seen today. There has been a sea dike since the 12th century, the remains of which run between Lüdingworth and the younger Altenbruch . The marshland was drained and reclaimed about 700 years ago with the help of Dutch settlers.

Lüdingworth was first mentioned in a document in 1298. Since 1394, Lüdingworth belonged to the city of Hamburg - like the Ritzebüttel office at that time - from 1484 to the dukes of Saxony-Lauenburg and then to Bishop Christoph von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel , whose successor had to recognize the Hadler land law created in 1439 , a status that the peasants have left great freedom. In 1529 the Reformation prevailed in Lüdingworth. Johan beym Graben was mayor of Lüdingworth in 1597 and in 1617/19 as Counts the highest judge in the Land of Hadeln and then state consultant and advisor to the Duke of Saxony-Lauenburg .

After a period in which the land of Hadeln was under imperial administration, Lüdingworth belonged to Kurhannover from 1731 , after the French occupation from 1813 to the Kingdom of Hanover and from 1852 to the Otterndorf office . It was only at this point in time that parish jurisdiction was replaced by local jurisdiction. In 1866 Lüdingworth came to the Prussian province of Hanover as part of the Otterndorf office , from 1885 to 1932 it belonged to the Hadeln district , and until July 1, 1972 to the Hadeln district .
