The municipality of Genderkesee lies between the Hunte and Weser rivers on the northern edge of the Wildeshauser Geest Nature Park in the council of Oldenburg in Lower Saxony.

The village of Gandekesee is the center of the municipality and dates back over a thousand years. The Gaukirke, St Cyprian and Cornelius, the first stone church, was built in 1052 and contains an organ from 1699.

The old village was tightly clustered around the church. The thatched roofs of the houses were very flammable and the town was almost completely destroyed by fire at least three time in a hundred years, causing great hardships for the local population.

Ganderkesse was a market town and held an annual festival.

The area was ruled by the count of Oldenburg who built a castle nearby in Delmenhorst in 1260.

The area was under Danish rule from 1667 to 1773. It was ruled by Duke Peter Frreidirch Ludwig I Duke of Oldenburg from 1785-1829

As on June 2008 Vintage Germany Postcards did not have any old postcards of Ganderkesee.
