Geography

Geographical Location

The area of the velvet municipality was on the low side of the district Elbe- Cuxhaven in Lower Saxony. It is part of the historical-cultural tract of land Hadeln in the Elbe- Weser triangle and roughly covers the central part of the " Hadler highlands " between the present area of the city of Cuxhaven and the mouth of the Elbe river Oste. The northern boundary of the velvet municipality formed the mouth of the Elbe. The border to the east Samtgemeinde On Dobrock formed essentially of Hadelner channel. In the south, the Municipality Sietland joined. The former West border of the city of Cuxhaven has grown irregularly and not historical, since the previously independent municipalities Hadler Altenbruch and Lüdingworth have been incorporated to Cuxhaven. The landscape of the former area is dominated by the fertile marsh soil and the coastal location. The most important water bodies in the area forms the Medem, which opens with the Hadler channel at Otter village in the same.

Samtgemeinde members

The integrated municipality was composed of the four member municipalities New churches, Nordleda, Easter break and Otter village. Administrative headquarters and center is the city Ottersdorf.

History

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