Flögeln is a village and a former municipality in the district of Cuxhaven, in Lower Saxony, Germany.

On their emigration to Hamburg in 1375, where they adopted a civic career, they made over Flögeln proper and six more villages to the Neuenwalde Convent.

[1] Their Dornburg Castle [de] was taken over by the prince-archbishopric as another military outpost.

In 1648 the Prince-Archbishopric was transformed into the Duchy of Bremen, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish Crown - interrupted by a Danish occupation (1712–1715) - and from 1715 on by the Hanoverian Crown.

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 Flögeln, became part of the new Stade Region, established in 1823.
