history

Waldheim Oldendorf

In Oldendorf there was a refugee camp in which, in 1945, 200 refugees from the former eastern regions were accommodated by the Osterholz district authorities. The camp was cleared in 1968. Today there is no longer any visible trace of it.

The quarters were built in 1938 by the Reich Labor Service and functioned as a "maiden camp" until the end of the war. "It wasn't a dreary slum camp," says Siegfried Begatik, who researched the "home of the community of fate".

In the course of the territorial reform in 1974, Holste formed the joint municipality of Hambergen with the municipalities of Hambergen, Axstedt, Lübberstedt and Vollersode.
