history

The place was first mentioned together with Südkampen in 1255 in document no. 43 of the Walsroder monastery . A field or arable land (lat. Campus) led to the naming of these villages. The cardinal points north and south illustrate the topographical separation. There used to be the names "Swattencampen" for Nordkampen and "Wittencampen" for Südkampen.

At the border of the district of Verden there is a Snedenstein from the 16th century, a relic of a border ( Snede = cutting edge), which according to a forged document from 1147/1150 already existed at the time of Charlemagne . The name Camping already appears in this document, the original of which is in the Stade State Archives .
