Alfstedt is a municipality in the district of Rotenburg, in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Alfstedt belonged to the
Duchy of Bremen, which at first was ruled in personal union by the Swedish Crown – interrupted by a Danish occupation (1712–1715) – and from 1715 on by the Hanoverian Crown. In 1807 the ephemeral Kingdom of Westphalia annexed the Duchy, before France annexed it in 1810. In 1813 the Duchy was restored to the Electorate of Hanover, which – after its upgrade to the Kingdom of Hanover in 1814 – incorporated the Duchy in a real union and the Ducal territory, including Alfstedt, became part of the new Stade Region
, established in 1823.
