Beidenfleth, Wewelsfleth closest neighbouring village from where a lot of children go to our school in Wewelsfleth, is a small village of about 950 citizens. Out of these, 37 are members of the Local Fire Brigade, adults's division, and 12 are members of the juniors' division.

The mayor of  Beidenfleth is called Peter Krey.

We have two shops, at first the baker's called Käding (Mr Käding is the only baker in the region who still manufactures our famous Störkringel), and then there is the supermarket called "EDEKA Witt".

The famous monuments of Beidenfleth are St. Nikolai Church, which has three ships, the old rope-based ferry called "Else" (is is the only ferry that has been remaining to cross the river Stör), as well as the old windmill which is called "Hoffnung" (which means "Hope").

In the Beidenfleth street called "Negenhusen" there is only one house, although the street already has been existing for two years now. The street name "Negenhusen" has a special meaning. It means "nine houses".

In the street called "Sösshusen" there are only two houses. This street has been existing for two years only, as well, and its name means "six houses".

Then there ist a street called "Fiefhusen", but there you can find more then five houses, although the name means, as you can imagine, "five houses".

In the street "Lange Reihe" there was a huge burning last September. The fire brigade hardly was able to get to the burning houses because they have been built very close to one another. The fire brigade had to cross the neighbouring gardens in order to get through to the fire.

Beidenfleth is a beautiful village.
