Land Hadeln

Land Hadeln is a historic landscape and former administrative district in Northern Germany with its seat in Otterndorf on the Lower Elbe, the lower reaches of the River Elbe, in the Elbe-Weser Triangle between the estuaries of the Elbe and Weser. Together with Land Wursten and their common hinterland they form, even today, a typical, relatively closed, cultural region. The name goes back to the Old Saxon Gau of Haduloha.
