Lahstedt
municipality of Germany
Lahstedt (German pronunciation: [ˈlaːʃtɛt]) is a former municipality in the district of Peine, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It was situated approximately 11 km south of Peine, and 20 km west of Braunschweig.
Lahstedt was formed on 1 February 1971 by merging the five villages of Adenstedt, Gadenstedt, Groß Lafferde, Münstedt and Oberg. "Lahstedt" itself was an artificial name, but not a population centre. Since 1 January 2015 its subdivisions are part of the municipality Ilsede.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Lahstedt” is municipality of Germany. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Lahstedt, municipality and Germany, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “municipality of Germany” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 17, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q512536. VIAF identifies the subject as 130174053. The Library of Congress control number is n79079706. Authority coordinates are 52.250, 10.217. 3 of 5 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1971 and 2015.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
