Like many villages in the Geest lowlands, Steddorf is a relatively elongated place, that is, there are few side roads and mostly everything is located on a main road.

On March 1, 1974, Steddorf was incorporated into the community of Heeslingen.

The village community is determined by the sports club Teutonia Steddorf , the volunteer fire brigade , the playing group, the inn, an agricultural machinery company and the aforementioned farms.

The brooks Knüllbach and Hagenbeck flow through Steddorf and later unite to form the floodplain.

Oddities
