history

The entire community was named "Am Dobrock". The seat of the joint municipality administration was the town hall on the market square in Cadenberge, which was moved into in 1979. In addition, there were administrative offices in all member communities.

In the constituent meeting of the joint municipality council on June 9, 1965, Klaus Föge, Wingst (Dobrock), was elected overall chairman - as it was then known - of the joint municipality Am Dobrock. Klaus Föge held the office of mayor of the municipality until October 31, 1996. Edgar Tiedemann was elected Samtgemeindedirektor in the council meeting on October 16, 1965 and held this office from January 1, 1966 to June 30, 1996. The so-called two-track model, i.e. the coexistence of the joint mayor and the joint director as a so-called dual leadership, expired in 1996 and was replaced by the introduction of single-track at the top of the municipalities with the direct election of the joint mayors. The council of the Samtgemeinde Am Dobrock consisted of 30 councilors and the full-time joint municipality mayor until 2011. Due to the declining population, the number of council members was reduced to 28 in the last legislative period.

Parish mergers

On June 1, 1965, the communities of Cadenberge, Wingst and Oppeln with a total of 5789 inhabitants joined together to form a single community.

The municipalities of Bülkau and Oberndorf joined the joint municipality with effect from January 1, 1970. The combined community of Am Dobrock reached its final size with effect from January 1, 1972, when the Neuhaus (Oste) and the communities of Belum and Geversdorf decided to join. In the course of the administrative and territorial reform on July 1, 1972, the municipality of Opole was incorporated into the municipality of Wingst and the municipality of Kehdingbruch into the municipality of Belum.

On November 1, 2016, the Samtgemeinde Am Dobrock merged with the Samtgemeinde Land Hadeln to form a new Samtgemeinde Land Hadeln based in Otterndorf. At the same time, the communities of Geversdorf and Cadenberge merged to form the new community of Cadenberge.
