Suddendorf  Suddendorf is a village and a former municipality in the district of Grafschaft Bentheim in Lower Saxony, Germany. Since 1 November 2011, it is part of the town Schüttorf. The name Suddendorf comes from the earlier form "Zudendorpe", "Zuden" meaning “south” and "dorpe" – cognate with the English “thorpe” – meaning “village”. It was therefore descriptive of the village’s location south of Schüttorf. Suddendorf has roughly 1,000 inhabitants in several settled centres and farms. The community’s honorary mayor is Karl-Ernst Kiewit. Each year in Suddendorf, a marksmanship festival, a children’s marksmanship festival, a "Stoppelfest" (literally “stubble festival” – a celebration of the harvest) and a Christmas market are held.
