history
The joint community of Fredenbeck has existed since 1965. The so-called small joint community of Fredenbeck originally consisted of the former communities of Deinste, Groß Fredenbeck, Klein Fredenbeck, Helmste, Schwinge and Wedel. The seat of the first joint community was Fredenbeck. The first joint municipality director was Alfred Schmetjen from Helmste and the first administrative employee was Johann Holst, who was previously the “municipality clerk” in Groß Fredenbeck.
In the course of the administrative and territorial reform in 1972, the three member communities as we know them today were created. Groß Fredenbeck, Klein Fredenbeck, Schwinge and Wedel (district of Stade) formed the municipality of Fredenbeck anew. Aspe, Essel, Mulsum and Kutenholz merged to form the municipality of Kutenholz and Deinste and Helmste formed the new municipality of Deinste, which, with around 2,400 inhabitants, is the smallest member municipality of the combined municipality of Fredenbeck. All three new communities formed what is now the larger joint community of Fredenbeck, whose administrative seat is still Fredenbeck.

traffic
The federal road 74 leads in the area of the district Schwinge through the joint municipality of Fredenbeck. The federal highway 73 , which runs between Cuxhaven and Hamburg, does not pass through the municipality, but due to its proximity (about 6 km) it is an important traffic artery for the entire municipality. In the area of the municipality of Kutenholz, the state road 123 runs through the joint municipality. In the future, the federal motorway 26 between Stade and Hamburg, which is currently under construction, will also gain important traffic significance for the joint municipality.
The area of the integrated municipality is crossed by two single-track railway lines. The trains of the private railway company EVB run on the route between Buxtehude and Bremervörde / Bremerhaven . They stop at the Kutenholz and Brest - Aspe stops in the Samtgemeinde . Part of this railway line branches off in Hesedorf in the direction of Stade. There are no longer any passenger trains on this line. The Moorexpress wagons only stop here on summer weekends . This train is a tourist attraction and runs between Stade and Bremen Hbf . It stops at various stops in the Samtgemeinde.
Established businesses
Important companies in the joint municipality include RPC Verpackungen Kutenholz GmbH and the company Dankers Bohrtechnik GmbH based in Fredenbeck.
media
The reporting about the integrated community Fredenbeck takes place mainly in the two local newspapers of the district. In addition to the daily newspaper “ Stader Tageblatt ”, this is the advertising-financed weekly newspaper “ Neue Stader Wochenblatt ”, which appears twice a week, on Wednesdays and Saturdays. In addition, in the area of the municipality of Kutenholz, the press in the neighboring town of Bremervörde is still of some importance.
An independent newspaper does not exist in the area of the integrated community Fredenbeck. However, the “Fredenbecker Blick” published by the Fredenbeck advertising association contains some informational value, without it being possible to speak of independent reporting. It offers the Samt- and the local church community but also the associations of the communities Fredenbeck and Deinste an opportunity to publish, announce and present themselves. At the same time, a similar publication with the title “Kutenholz aktuell” appears for the Kutenholz division. Both monthly sheets are distributed free of charge throughout the community.
In addition, publications by the local parties appear at irregular intervals. At the CDU this sheet is called “Bi uns in Dbod” ( Low German for “Here in the village”), at the SPD “Hello Neighbors” and at the alliance Greens “Green Info”. However, they primarily serve to present and comment on topics from the perspective of the respective party.
education
The integrated community of Fredenbeck has two primary schools ( GS Fredenbeck, GS Mulsum-Kutenholz ) and a high school with a high school offer ( Geestlandschule ).
