Tinsdal
The Tinsdal (formerly also Tinsdahl ) belongs today mostly to Hamburg-Rissen , a small area to Wedel . The Hamburg part borders in the west on the city of Wedel in the Pinneberg district ( Schleswig-Holstein ). In the south it extends to the Elbe , which forms the border with Lower Saxony there .
Hamburg's Tinsdal consists predominantly of residential areas with individual houses . Direction Wittenbergen extends the protected area Wittenbergen . The Wedel part consists of an industrial and mixed area with single and terraced houses .
history
The name Tinsdal is interpreted from "tins" = beyond and "dal / dahl" = down as "to the end of the valley".
Historically, Tinsdahl / Tinsdal refers to the area on the Geestrücken above the Elbe stream, which is characterized by heather areas, dunes and small moors (e.g. the Tinsdaler Moor), but also some farms (possibly in Tinsdal , already mentioned in 1255) to the south von Rissen, later also the village of Tinsdal, which belonged to the parish of Nienstedten .
A large cemetery with urn burials was found and excavated in the Tinsdal dunes . Some urns (with burial mounds ) were dated to the early Iron Age (7th / 6th centuries BC), while most of the urns deposited without a mound were attributed to the subsequent older pre-Roman Iron Age (500–200 BC). Some clay pots contained additions (decorative pins, belt hooks and individual brooches). A brooch with bronze discs became known as the "Tinsdaler fibula".

In Tinsdal the red and white striped stands Lighthouse Tinsdal serving as rear light away with the 800 meters Lighthouse Wittenbergen than under fire since 1900, the leading light line Wittenbergen forms -Tinsdal. Together with the Billerbeck lighthouse, which has since been demolished , it also formed the Billerbek – Tinsdal leading light from 1899 until its closure in 1960.
The Wedel thermal power station used to belong to HEW and now to Vattenfall . It stands on a roughly 400,000 square meter site directly on the Elbe. There used to be a railway connection to the S-Bahn line between Wedel and Blankenese to transport the coal , which also served the first refinery of Mobil Oil AG , now ExxonMobil , opened in 1906 . The dismantling of the tracks was completed in 2009. The locomotive used by the HEW for shunting was a steam storage locomotive that got its power from the electrical works.
The research laboratory of Mobiloil was instrumental in the development of fully synthetic lubricants involved. Mobil Oil has since given up the location. The parking lot located there with a view over the Elbe was filled with rubble in the 1960s. The bathing beach previously located at this point had to give way to parking spaces for the employees of the so-called oil factory in the area.
On August 6, 1944, the then Deutsche Vacuum Oil Company , a subsidiary of Socony-Vacuum Oil, was deliberately bombed and badly hit. The bunker at the parking lot was not destroyed by the attacks; it was demolished in 2004. Between the coal-fired power station and the former oil factory, a small shipyard with an associated port was located directly on the Elbe River, which was closed in 2008.
