history

Niedergandern was first mentioned in a document as Gandera in the 12th century . Since the oldest documents do not differentiate between Niedergandern and the nearby villages of Hohengandern and Kirchgandern , a clear allocation can only be made on the basis of the context of the documents. Due to the continuity of ownership of the Reinhausen monastery in Niedergandern, mentions can be made in a document from the period from 1118 to 1137 (forged in the 13th century), a document from 1152 / 53-1156 and a document from 1168 by Heinrich the Lion, which was also forged in the 13th century related to Niedergandern. The first written mention of the place with a clear additional name comes from the end of the 13th century (1294 Gandera Inferioris ), the Low German name in Nederen Gandera appears for the first time in 1318, when Bruno von Bodenhausen through Duke Otto the Milden, among other things, with the Vogtei in Niedergandern was enfeoffed. The von Bodenhausen initially exercised the lower jurisdiction over Niedergandern and Reckershausen before they were awarded the high jurisdiction by Amt Friedland in 1559. The sovereignty on the road between the two villages was challenged by the Brunswickers and the Landgrave of Hesse , so Hessian officials tore down a gallows that the von Bodenhausen built on the road. The Brunswick Turks and land taxes received from Niedergandern, but from the middle of the 16th century they were increasingly not paid. From 1585 Niedergandern refused the Braunschweig oath of homage. From the beginning of the 17th century, the Archdiocese of Mainz also appeared and raised sovereignty claims on Niedergandern. A contract of 1587 between Mainz and Hesse, which was never carried out, was supposed to share sovereignty over the village and draw a border through the place.

On January 1, 1973 Niedergandern was incorporated into the Friedland community.
