History edit

Büddenstedt was formed 1 March 1974 by combining the municipalities Neu Büddenstedt, Offleben, and Reinsdorf/Hohnsleben.[2] Neu Büddenstedt was settled in 1935 between a prior municipality named Büddenstedt and Wulfersdorf, both of which were slated for demolition due to coal mining. The previous Büddensted was finally fully evacuated in 1947 while Neu Büddensted became a municipality in 1950.[3]
