Oldendorf (meaning of the place name is "old village") is a village belonging to the municipality of Südheide in the northern district of Celle . It is located on the western edge of the Südheide Nature Park , in the Lüneburg Heath , around 2 km south of the main town of Hermannsburg, and currently has around 640 inhabitants.
history
From found, worked flints it can be concluded that the area around Oldendorf was already settled around the Stone Age (8000 to 2000 BC). Oldendorf was first mentioned in a document in 968 in a document from the Saxon Duke Hermann Billung . At this time a protective castle was built in Oldendorf , which was burned down by the Wends in 959 and finally demolished in 1345.
In 1620 the first school was founded in Oldendorf.
On May 28, 1785, a great fire broke out. Since the houses at that time had thatched roofs and were made of wood, the fire spread very quickly. A total of 14 buildings fell victim to the fire within half an hour.
On April 20, 1820, the second big fire broke out in Oldendorf. Nine farmsteads with all their outbuildings burned down. This gave the site a major change.
On January 1, 1973, Oldendorf became part of the unified municipality of Hermannsburg as part of the Lower Saxony regional and administrative reform .
On August 10, 1975, the largest forest fire to date in the Federal Republic of Germany broke out between Oldendorf and Eschede . The fire was not extinguished until a week later, on August 17, 1975.
The Örtze flows through the village in a north-south direction . The old original village is on the west side of the river. The first three free farms in Oldendorf are said to have been here.
A gravel works was built in the 1960s . Initially, the gravel was only extracted from the former fish ponds on Schlüpker Weg. However, the area was continuously enlarged towards Eschede . Gravel mining was then carried out on a large scale until autumn 2007. At the first exploited and abandoned gravel pit , a holiday home area with 32 small houses was built in 1986. 400 houses were initially planned, but were not approved. The gravel quarrying resulted in large areas of water (quarry ponds ), which after a short time offer a retreat for many, sometimes rare, bird species. Great crested grebes , coots , golden ducks and gray geese breed here. Woodlark , Little Ringed Plover , Redwings , marsh harriers , reed bunting , reed warbler , teals , shoveler , pintail , wigeon and tufted ducks can be observed here, in rare cases, the osprey . Sand martins have set up breeding tunnels in the steep bank.
Today Oldendorf is characterized on the one hand by agriculture and on the other hand by tourist offers.

The local council of Oldendorf consists of five local council members. The local mayor is Sabine Rudnick.
Oldendorf manor
The manor Oldendorf is located 400 m north of Oldendorf. In 1788 Field Marshal General Johann Wilhelm von Reden received the feudal estates in Hermannsburg and Oldendorf from Georg III , Elector of Hanover and King of England, for his services as a soldier . He earned his services in particular in the Seven Years' War (1756–1763), in the course of which he was promoted from lieutenant colonel to lieutenant general. Johann Wilhelm von Reden died childless. However, he had already bequeathed the fief to his two nephews Friedrich Otto and Franz during his lifetime. On November 5, 1840, their successors divided the fiefdoms of Hermannsburg and Oldendorf. Each property then had a size of around 500 hectares . The estate in Oldendorf is still owned by the von Reden family.
Court use
The Beutzen farm also belongs to the municipality of Oldendorf. It is 1.5 km south and was formerly owned by Julius Kothe and his wife, a née Hartung. This Kothe family also owned the grain mill in Scharnebeck. They lived here too. Scharnebecks Mühle is located north halfway between Oldendorf and Hermannsburg, directly on the Örtze.
When the son and heir Traugott Kothe fell in World War I , his father sold the Beutzen farm in 1917 for 440,000 marks to the judiciary Wilhelm Meyer from Hanover. Counselor Meyer was the head of the Ilseder Hütte and the Peiner Walzwerke. He continued his wife, Anna Meyer, geb. Glenk, an actress, is the owner. At their operation, a turbine house was built in 1926 in order to use a water-powered turbine to generate electricity for personal use until 1956. The mill that was previously in operation was shut down.
In 1933 Councilor of Justice Meyer died and his wife sold the farm to Mr Bertram, the director of the wool laundry in Hanover-Döhren, for 350,000 marks. In 1945 the Lobetal-Anstalten established a children's home in the manor house of the courtyard , in which mostly orphaned children, of school-age and pre-school age, some of whom were difficult to raise, were looked after. In 1954 the children's home in Beutzen was closed and moved to Stübeckshorn .
For many years, Klaus Vollmer's residence and a place of work for the Little Brothers of the Cross, which he founded, has existed here since 1978 , today: Evangelical Siblings, which subsequently operated the house as a conference venue since 1996.
On October 1, 2007, the St. Paul Academy (ASP) rented the former manor house. The Chairman of the Hof Beutzen Board of Trustees, Johanneshaus Beutzen, was Paul Imhoff , who is also the director of the ASP. The academy has since given up the building as a spa facility.
In the immediate vicinity of the farm is the protected Bornriethmoor . A part of this moor also belongs to the property of the farm.

Dehningshof
Dehningshof is 3.5 km southeast of Oldendorf. The name goes back to Peter Heinrich Dehning (1781–1832), a carter from Oldendorf, who had already chosen a place for a relaxation station at this location in 1804 . After two refusals by the farmers from Oldendorf who were authorized to guard there, he was granted a place of four acres on May 11, 1816, subject to various conditions . Dehning saw this place as suitable for a carter tavern, as the Alte Celler Heerstrasse , coming from Hanover and Celle , passed here. The corridor was called "sand bells". This was a place that was not suitable for agriculture because it was covered with drifting sand (a sand floe ). This field name is still familiar to the Oldendorf residents today. When the newly built roads no longer led by here later, the restaurant business was stopped. Around 1950 the then owner Gustav Stucke rebuilt an inn, which he called "Zur Alten Fuhrmannsschänke" . The property was not connected to the mains. Until the 1960s there were only gas lights in the guest rooms and in the guest rooms . Later electricity was generated with a diesel generator. In 1984 the owner changed again. Now a power line has been laid to Dehningshof and a hotel with a rider's pension has been added. The business is still run in this form today, even if the owner changed again. The European long-distance hiking trail E1 leads directly past the property. Today the hotel and restaurant is run by Cornelia Kretzschmar and Carola Schröder and their families.
