geography

Geographical location

The area of the integrated community was on the Niederelbe side of the district of Cuxhaven in Lower Saxony . It is part of the historical and cultural area of Land Hadeln in the Elbe-Weser triangle and comprises roughly the central part of the "Hadler highlands" between the present-day urban area of the city of Cuxhaven and the confluence of the Oste into the Elbe . The northern border of the integrated community formed the mouth of the Elbe. The border to the Samtgemeinde Am Dobrock in the east was essentially formed by the Hadelner Canal . The Sietland community joined in the south . The former western border to the urban area of Cuxhaven has grown irregularly and not historically since the previously independent Hadler communities Altenbruch and Lüdingworth were incorporated into Cuxhaven. The landscape of the former area is characterized by the fertile marshland and the coastal location . The most important body of water in the area is the Medem , which flows into the Elbe together with the Hadler Canal near Otterndorf .

structure

In the founding year 1970, the integrated community consisted of the member communities Neuenkirchen , Nordleda , Osterbruch , Wanna and the city of Otterndorf . In 1972, however, the municipality of Wanna left the association and joined the Sietland municipality. The administrative seat and center was the city of Otterndorf.

history

Hadeln looks back on a long time of politically independent development. Only when the Kingdom of Hanover after the Austro-Prussian War in 1866 by Prussia annexed was the special status of the country ended Hadeln.

coat of arms

Blazon : “ Split ; in front nine times divided by black and gold , covered with a green diamond wreath turned diagonally to the right ; back in green with black sign foot of Bishop Nicholas in silver choir dress , under green goldgerändertem chasuble with gold shoes , green gold-rimmed Mitra , with silver crook whose crookedness in a golden fünfblätterigen Rose ends, the right hand raised in blessing, with golden hair and natural flesh color . "

Justification of the coat of arms: The diamond wreath from the community coat of arms of the Saxon house indicates the rule that the Lauenburg dukes exercised over the land of Hadeln until it died out in 1689. St. Bishop Nikolaus, patron saint of boatmen and coastal residents, has appeared in the seals of the Hadeln country since the 13th century.
