geography

location

The area of the integrated municipality is 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 middle part of the "Hadler Highland" 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 forms the confluence with the Elbe. In the south, in the Sietland, the moorland lakes near Bad Bederkesa (Dahlemer, Halemer and Bederkesaer See). 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 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 .

The difficult drainage of the southern Sietland takes place via the Emmelke , the Alte Aue and the Gösche, which unite at Ihlienworth to form the Medem, as well as a large number of landscape-shaping weather, receiving waters and ditches. Without the Hadelner Canal, built in 1853, and the Otterndorf pumping station , there would be regular flooding due to the topographical location of up to two meters below sea level. Only in the west of the Samtgemeinde, in the Wannaer Geest and in Ahlen, is there a slightly elevated and sandy subsoil. The largely cultivated Ahlenmoor stretches in the triangle between Wanna, Ihlienworth and Steinau.

structure

The integrated municipality, whose administrative seat and center is the city of Otterndorf, consists of the following member municipalities:

history

Typical farmhouses in North Leda

Hadler Canal near Odisheim

Hadolaun (Hadeln) is already mentioned in the Saxon Chronicle of Widukind von Corvey (around 950) as the landing place of the Saxons.

The country of Hadeln looks back on a long period of politically independent development. It was not until the Kingdom of Hanover was annexed by Prussia after the Austro-Prussian War in 1866 that the special status of the Land of Hadeln ended.

In the Middle Ages, the Hadelner Sietland (from Low German: siet = "low") was summarized under the name "Five Parishes". (Up to the 14th century there was a chapel in Süderleda in addition to the churches in Wanna, Ihlienworth, Steinau and Odisheim.) Together with the Hadler Hochland ("Seven Parishes") and the residents of the town of Otterndorf, the Sietland formed one of the three "Stands" of the Hadler self-government (see Warningsacker ). From 1388 to around 1484, however, the Sietland was under the Bremen Bailiwick of Bederkesa. In place of the parish Süderleda was at this time Wester-Ihlienworth (next to Oster-Ihlienworth) as the fifth parish that had gained population through the medieval Holler colonization. Then the five parishes came back to the land of Hadeln.

For the history of the region before 1866 → see also: History of Hadeln and Sausages .

Incorporations

The Sietland community was from 1970/72 to 2011 the amalgamation of the four communities Ihlienworth, Odisheim, Steinau and Wanna. On January 1, 2011, the previous joint municipalities Sietland and Hadeln were merged to form the new joint municipality Land Hadeln. 15,321 inhabitants lived in an area of 228.48 km² (as of December 31, 2015).

A second new formation of the municipality of Land Hadeln took place on November 1st, 2016, when the municipality of Am Dobrock merged with the municipality of Land Hadeln. The administrative seat of this new integrated municipality Land Hadeln is again in Otterndorf.

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 to bless charged 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.
