Stinstedt is a municipality in the district of Cuxhaven, in Lower Saxony, Germany.

The farmers were subject with their small tithe[2] to the Himmelpforten Convent,[3] secularised in 1647.

In 1648 the Prince-Archbishopric was transformed into the Duchy of Bremen, which was first ruled in personal union by the Swedish Crown[4] - interrupted by a Danish occupation (1712-1715) - and from 1715 on by the Hanoverian Crown.

[6] 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 Stinstedt, became part of the new Stade Region, established in 1823.
