Roggenstede was first listed in 1420 in the Stader Copiar as Reckenstede among the parishes required to pay taxes to the Bremen Cathedral. Later names were Roggenstädt or Roggenstedt (c.Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". 1650) and then from about 1750 Roggenstede. An older interpretation of the place name as "place where rye grows" is not credible. More likely is the interpretation of the name as "place" of Rocke or Recko.[3]
