Cremlingen

Cremlingen was first mentioned in 1296 as "Kremmelinghe" in a document. Through various intermediate forms such as Cremnige or Kremmling, the name Cremlingen as we know it today developed from the 17th century onwards. The place name refers to a -ingen settlement typical for the region, with a base form *kram-l-ingi. The meaning of the determinative word is disputed, with interpretations ranging from a personal name Kremo to a root *kram- meaning 'wet'.
As part of the Lower Saxony municipal reform on March 1, 1974, the previous municipality of Cremlingen was merged with the neighboring municipalities of Abbenrode, Destedt, Gardessen, Hemkenrode, Hordorf, Klein Schöppenstedt, Schandelah, Schulenrode, and Weddel to form a new municipality, Cremlingen.
