History
The oldest document in which Schneverdingen was mentioned was written in 1231. The place was mentioned under the name "Snewordinge".
Schneverdingen belonged to the Prince-Bishopric of Verden, established in 1180. In 1648 the Prince-Bishopric was transformed into the Principality of Verden, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish Crown - interrupted by a Danish occupation (1712–1715) - and from 1715 on by the Hanoverian Crown. The Kingdom of Hanover incorporated the Principality in a real union and the Princely territory, including Schneverdingen, became part of the new Stade Region, established in 1823. At the beginning of the 20th century it had 1.747 inhabitants. In 1976 Schneverdingen obtained municipal status as a "town".
