history
The first documentary mention as "Quenethorpe" comes from the year 1197, the oldest archaeological finds date from the Neolithic Age (approx. 3500–1800 BC). The name comes either from the word “Querne” (term for a semi-mechanical mill) or from the Westphalian “Quene” for a young cattle. A completely different interpretation sees the origin in the "Quenna" title for a high woman.
In 1971, Quendorf merged with the town of Schüttorf and the communities Drievorden (since 1974 part of Engden ), Engden, Neerlage (since 1974 part of Isterberg ), Ohne , Samern , Suddendorf (since 2011 part of Schüttorf) and Wengsel (since 1974 part Isterberg) to form the joint municipality of Schüttorf.
