Dudensen
Dudensen is a village of Neustadt am Rübenberge in the district of Hanover, Lower Saxony in Germany. It had a population of 530 in 2021. Toponymy In the district Dudensen are the abandoned villages ''Holinbeke'' and ''Sesenhusen''. Both are each named in a deed of donation, the former from 1033, the second 1186. Both deserts can be found with ''Seenser Feld'' and ''Hollenheide'' still in today's names. In her work on names of places in Neustadt am Rübenberge, Tanja Weiß uses two different names. Already in 1128 there is a documentary recorded ''Duotdenhusen''. In a document from 1228 finally appears the name ''Dudenhusen''. There are also two other secondary sources that indicate the year 1228 as the date of the first documentary mention of the place Dudensen under the name ''Dudenhusen''. However, two other sources indicate the year 1261 for the first written mention. In contrast, however, the entry in the Hoyer Lehnsregister around the year 1250 that c ...

Alpe (Aller)
The Alpe is a river of Lower Saxony, Germany. The Alpe is a left tributary of the Aller. Its source lies between the villages of Dudensen and , both within the town of Neustadt am Rübenberge. It initially crosses the Dudensen Bog and flows along the edge of the Bog and past Rethem Bog. In the 1970s it lost its natural character, it was straightened and, in places, canalised. The Steimbker Dorfgraben, a drainage ditch joining it from the left, is very heavily polluted (water quality class III–IV). The Alpe itself has a good overall water quality (class II = moderately polluted). Before the town of Rethem the ''Weiße Graben'' ("White Ditch") joins the Alpe along with the Wölpe. In Rethem the Alpe then discharges into the Aller. See also *List of rivers of Lower Saxony All rivers in the German state of Lower Saxony flow directly or indirectly into the North Sea.

Hanover (district)
Hanover Region (german: Region Hannover) is a district in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is bounded by (from the north and clockwise) the districts of Heidekreis, Celle, Gifhorn, Peine, Hildesheim, Hamelin-Pyrmont, Schaumburg and Nienburg. The Hanover Region district has a unique legal status among the districts of Lower Saxony. It includes the city of Hanover (the state capital) which has the same privileges as a city that is not part of a district. As a consequence, the district is much larger in population than any other district of the state. Its administrative body is the regional parliament (german: Regionsparlament, label=none), headed by the regional president (german: Regionspräsident, label=none), which since 2021 is Steffen Krach (SPD). The members of the regional parliament are elected once every five years and the regional president is elected once every eight years in local elections.

Abandoned Village
An abandoned village is a village that has, for some reason, been deserted. In many countries, and throughout history, thousands of villages have been deserted for a variety of causes. Abandonment of villages is often related to epidemic, famine, war, climate change, economic depressions, environmental destruction, or deliberate clearances. Armenia and Azerbaijan Hundreds of villages in Nagorno-Karabakh were deserted following the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. Between 1988 and 1993, 400,000 ethnic Azeris, and Kurds fled the area and nearly 200 villages in Armenia itself populated by Azeris and Kurds were abandoned by 1991. Likewise nearly 300,000 Armenians fled from Azerbaijan between 1988 and 1993, including 50 villages populated by Armenians in Northern Nagorno Karabakh that were abandoned. Some of the Armenian settlements and churches outside Armenia and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic have either been destroyed or damaged including those in Nakhichevan. Australia In Austr ...

Kirche Dudensen
Kirk is a Scottish and former Northern English word meaning "church". It is often used specifically of the Church of Scotland. Many place names and personal names are also derived from it. Basic meaning and etymology As a common noun, ''kirk'' (meaning 'church') is found in Scots, Scottish English, Ulster-Scots and some English dialects, attested as a noun from the 14th century onwards, but as an element in placenames much earlier. Both words, ''kirk'' and ''church'', derive from the Koine Greek κυριακόν (δωμα) (kyriakon (dōma)) meaning ''Lord's (house)'', which was borrowed into the Germanic languages in late antiquity, possibly in the course of the Gothic missions. (Only a connection with the idiosyncrasies of Gothic explains how a Greek neuter noun became a Germanic feminine). Whereas ''church'' displays Old English palatalisation, ''kirk'' is a loanword from Old Norse and thus retains the original mainland Germanic consonants. Compare cognates: Icelandic & ...
