Bedekaspel is an East Frisian village in Lower Saxony, Germany.

A Haufendorf, the village of Bedekaspel includes Wochenendsiedlung ("Weekend Settlement"), a recreational area on the northern shore of the Großes Meer, and Bedekaspeler Marsch.

The name was probably derived from Old Frisian bēte, "penitence", and kerke, "church", which can be assumed due to the growth of the settlement to parish (Middle Low German: kaspel, karkspel, kerk-spel).

The element –spiel or -spel goes back to a Germanic noun *spella, which means "report", "message", or "speech".

[3] During the Christmas flood of 1717, the Bedekaspel church, which dates back to the 13th century, was so badly damaged that it had to be demolished and rebuilt – except for the tower.
