history

Nienwalde village center

In 1360 Nienwalde was mentioned as Nygendorp for the first time. After Nygendorp fell to the Electorate of Hanover in 1690, it was renamed Niendorf . On May 24, 1836, a fire destroyed 20 houses in the area of ​​today's old courtyards. After only seven weeks, the village was rebuilt a few hundred meters further south on a slight hill in four rectangles surrounded by roads. There were six courtyards in each of the rectangles. To prevent further fires, oaks were planted between the courtyards.

In addition, Niendorf was often flooded due to its proximity to the Elbe . In 1936 the community, now called Niendorf bei Gartow , was renamed Nienwalde. The village was only a kilometer away from the former border with the German Democratic Republic . In 1977 a dike from Gartow to the state border was built for further flood protection .

On July 1, 1972, Nienwalde was incorporated into the Gartow district.
