history
The place went from the two peat New forth village and Platendorf that in 1796 on the initiative of the government of the then electorate of Hanover to the reclamation of the Great Moores had been established. In 1795 the first settler families settled in the area that belonged to the Gifhorn office and from 1885 to the Gifhorn district. A wide canal was dug near the settlement that drains the Great Moor to the north to the Aller towards the south. It was used to transport peat on ships.
Road embankments were raised on both sides along the artificial waterway. They were flanked by so-called bridging ditches. They got this name because bridges lead over them to the parcels of the "colonists" called new settlers. In contrast, the main canal did not have any crossings, as bridge constructions would have been too complex due to shipping traffic. This created the two spatially separated settlements Neu Dorf and Platendorf.
The Platendorf settlement was built along the western road embankment, and the Neudorf settlement along the eastern one. Platendorf was named after the Gifhorner Oberamtmann Plate. Each colonist was assigned a strip of land around 100 meters wide and almost a kilometer (extending to the east or west) long. Only when the central main canal was no longer needed for drainage in the 1830s was it filled with the material from the western road embankment. This strip of wasteland has been called Barwe or Berbe ever since. Since then there is only the eastern dam, which both halves of the village use as the main road. Today it is around three meters higher than the land and plots of land that the settlers have now pitted.
In 1802 there were 162 inhabitants in both places. At the beginning of the 19th century there were village expansions to the south, creating Klein Platendorf and Klein Neudorf on both sides of the canal. The settlement structure of Neudorf-Platendorf as a street village , which was created when it was founded, has been preserved to this day.
Even today there are some common family names in Neudorf-Platendorf that go back to the settlement period, for example Wulfes , Wolpers and Steinmetz .
Since March 1st 1974 Neudorf-Platendorf belongs to the municipality of Sassenburg.
In the summer of 1975 a large forest and moor fire developed north and east of the town as part of the fire in the Lüneburg Heath . The place name was part of the main news of German newspapers and television stations for days. The village itself was shrouded in clouds of smoke and was closed to residents, the fire brigade and the armed forces. However, it was possible to prevent the fire from spreading to the houses.

For the Evangelical Free Church Community (Baptists) a church was inaugurated in 1894 and later expanded. The congregation completed its new building in 2011. The Catholic chapel Maria im Moor was built in 1929 for the residents who moved from Catholic areas and consecrated by Bishop Nikolaus Bares . Pastoral care was provided by the pastor of St. Bernward (Gifhorn) . In 1947 it was torn down again, parts of the inventory were placed in an emergency chapel in Empelde , after which it was dissolved in the Church of the Holy Family (Empelde) .

| Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms symbolizes the pioneering work that was accomplished here almost two hundred years ago. The image of the moor spade is therefore a memorial for the reclamation of the moor landscape. The variously shaped tools are a reminder that cultivated land was created here in arduous work. The green sign indicates the meadows and fields that now cover the former moorland. |
