The history of the town only dates back to April 15, 2003, when the town was formed from the merger of the municipalities of Neuendorf bei Wilster and Sachsenbande to the municipality of Bredensee. This new agglomeration was renamed Neuendorf-Sachsenbande.

Economy

The land making up the municipality is mainly rural and involved in agriculture, but local registries indicate 30 small businesses in the municipality.

The local council counts one member of the SPD, five members of the CDU, five Independents.
