History
[edit]In 1266/69 Eidelstedt was first recorded as a village,[2] then under the names of Eilstede, Eylstedt or Eylenstede. The part -stedt in the name refers to a Saxonian foundation, meaning safe settlement or safe residence, which was founded by a first settler named Eyler. Another explanation derives from Ilenstätten, referring to a place (German: Stätte), where medicinal leeches (German: Egel, Blutegel, Low German: Ilen) could be found, namely in a stream called Mühlenau and the pond of Mühlenteich in the village.[3] In 1937, the village was incorporated into Hamburg by the Greater Hamburg Act, which came into force in 1938.[2]
