Niedens was located 15 kilometers southeast of the railroad station at Gmelinskaya. It was not an official daughter colony, but a khutor (farmstead).
Following the collectivization of the early Soviet era, it grew to became a rather large Collective Farm with the name "May 1".
Today, nothing remains of the former Volga German settlement of Niedens.
There was not a church in Niedens.
