Local heritage book of Danstedt

Danstedt is a traditional farming village that was first mentioned in records in 1084. It is located about 10 km west of Halberstadt.  The area surrounding Danstedt is mainly used for agriculture. 
The  original village is a clustered village with numerous multi-sided farmsteads. The Rottegraben stream flows through the middle of the village. 
The Mathilde post mill and the Baroque church of St. Udalrici are particularly noteworthy buildings in Danstedt. The post mill was built in 1817 and thoroughly restored in 1988/89, whereby the mill technology from 1835 was preserved and is still functional today. Especially on Mill Day (Whit Monday), you can get an impression of the old mill technology.
The Baroque church of St. Udalrici was built in the 15th century. It houses the well-preserved Ladegast organ. On various occasions (e.g. Open Monument Day), you can listen to the organ being played.

Regarding the church records:
The spelling of surnames varied. For example, Weidig – Woydig. Another difficulty is the correct assignment of individuals. For example, Hans Heinrich Hartmann or Valentin Hartmann occur frequently. Which Hans Heinrich Hartmann was meant? This could not always be conclusively clarified. There are also a number of gaps in the church records prior to 1815. This should be noted.
This local family history book is intended as a research aid. It is not a binding document.
