Verden was first mentioned in a document by Charlemagne, under the name "Ferdi in Saxonia," in roughly its current form. The city name "Verden" contains the word "furt" (fort)—meaning a river crossing. Since prehistoric times, traders have used this convenient crossing over the Aller River as a crossroads for long-distance routes from east to west and south to north. In 782, the so-called "Verden Blood Court" took place in the Verden area during the Saxon Wars. Charlemagne had 4,500 Saxons executed. The Diocese of Verden was established around 850. Until the Reformation in the 16th century, the influence of the Verden bishops extended far into the Altmark region. Separated from the bishopric, the merchant settlement of the "Norderstadt" (Northern Town) around the present-day town hall developed into an independent town with its own city rights. Verden later even became a free imperial city. The Süderstadt (Southern Town), with its cathedral, was the spiritual center. It wasn't until after the Thirty Years' War in 1648 that the Swedish queen united the two districts against the will of the Verden population. In the following centuries, Verden, as a garrison town, frequently had to submit to foreign powers. The kingdoms of Sweden, Denmark, France, Hanover, and finally Prussia left their mark on the city. In the 19th century, Verden developed into a judicial and administrative center. Since the 1930s, the city of Verden (Aller) has adorned itself with the nickname "Equestrian City." This term is brought to life through national and international equestrian events, as well as breeding events and auctions. The German Horse Museum is also located in Verden.
