history

According to research carried out by the parish offices of Debstedt , Bederkesa , Lehe and the Neuenwalde monastery, the place name Spaden is derived from the Old English word spot (spoot, spood), which means spot, place or height, i.e. a landscape that differs from the environment stands out, mean. Probably the first settlement of Spaden could have taken place in the 8th century. The village was first mentioned in a document in 1267. Around 1300 Spaden had more than 150 inhabitants. In 1490 almost the entire place burned down in a conflagration. In the place of the old wooden chapel, a brick one was built, called "Klus" in the local dialect . In the middle of the 16th century, whalers and dock workers brought a bell for the Klus from Amsterdam , for which a bell tower was built. Probably the Dutch established Spaden's special status in the training of captains in the Greenland voyage .

In 1716 there was a second great fire. But the village grew and in 1753 it became, next to Sievern, the largest town in the Börde Debstedt. In 1829 a new school was built on Leher Straße and the old school on Tötje was demolished. The Klus was renovated in 1894 due to disrepair. The third major catastrophe in the history of the village happened in 1894, a violent storm covered all the roofs in the village and spread the straw and the bricks in the village. In 1899 a Dutch windmill was built on Wehdener Strasse .

The thatched roof of the old Klus was replaced by a tile roof in 1900. In 1903 a shooting range was built. The Dutch windmill went up in flames in 1910 and was later demolished. In 1913 the population exceeded 1000 inhabitants. Spaden has had an electrical power supply since 1920. In the eighth year after the First World War , in 1927, a war memorial was dedicated . The Spaden cemetery got a chapel in 1949. During the construction of the A 27 federal motorway at the end of the 1960s, the Spadener See was created . In 1977 a leisure facility was opened at Spadener See.

The local home attendant is Werner Kamjunke.
