The town of Uetersen [ ˈyːtɐzən ] (formerly also Ütersen (Holstein) and Danish Yttersen ) is located in the Pinneberg district in Schleswig-Holstein . It is known as the choir town of the north and rose and wedding town on the Pinnau . Uetersen is part of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region , the Lower Elbe Maritime Landscape and the Pinneberger Marsch & Geest Active Region . The small town with around 18,000 inhabitants is one of the densely populated cities in Schleswig-Holstein. The city serves the rural communities in the south-western Pinneberg district as a sub-center and contact point for the supply of services, goods and infrastructure facilities. Overall, the city in the surrounding area supplies a catchment area with around 50,000 people. As the largest sub-center in Schleswig-Holstein, it has been striving for recognition as a sub-center with partial functions of a medium-sized center for several years .
The city does not have a charter. The founding year is assumed to be 1234, the year in which the city was first mentioned in a document. This date has been officially recognized in national history since 1933 .
The history of the city was largely shaped by fires, wars, disasters and accidents. The place then burned down almost completely several times. The major catastrophes in the city include the great flood of 1412 , the storm surges of Christmas 1717 and October 7, 1756 , when the city was flooded meters high and 62 people drowned. Another unusual natural disaster was the wind trousers of August 10, 1925, which destroyed large parts of Uetersen. On February 24, 1962, the last (for the time being) flooded by the Adolph Bermpohl storm in Uetersen.
The city has been called the Wedding City since 1999 . The city's registry office is responsible for around 35,000 citizens of the neighboring town of Tornesch and the Haseldorf office. The city has an average of more than 550 marriages every year. Most marriages so far took place in 2015 (579) and 2016 (598).
From January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2016, Uetersen formed an administrative partnership with the Haseldorf office , which was then dissolved , and the city ran its administrative business. It was closed on December 6, 2006 in the Uetersen town hall and was one of a total of 15 administrative communities in Schleswig-Holstein.
geography
Geology and geographical location
Uetersen is located in the west on the border between Seestermüher Marsch and Geest . The difference in height between the two landscape formations can be clearly seen when approaching the city from the march. The lowest point of the city is in the dyke meadows at the Klosterkoppeln at one meter, the highest point at 18 meters in the forest area of Langes Tannen (Russenberg). The southern part of the city with the old town lies on the edge of the former Pinnau valley. This valley is no longer recognizable because the river bed of the Pinnau was changed several times. The eastern urban area is located on a former dune landscape that dates back to the Ice Age and extends from Wedel over the Holmer Sandberge to Elmshorn. This dune landscape was barely forested and only guarded with heather and crippled pines and was also constantly in motion. Especially during the spring storms, huge amounts of sand were thrown up, which came through all the cracks and made breathing a pain. As early as the 18th century attempts were made to bring the dunes to a standstill by planting standing oats and sand thistles , but it wasn't until 1870 that a large part of the dune landscape was leveled and covered with fat marshy soil, so that the dunes came to a standstill. This was further removed after the First World War and the sand was used to fill the port area. Until the middle of the 18th century, one had a clear view of the Hamburg Michel, some 27 kilometers away, from the dune landscape . Street names such as Bergstrasse, Hochfeldstrasse, Großer Sand, Kleiner Sand and Sandweg are reminiscent of the high dunes. The northern part of the city is bordered by the Langes Tannen forest, which contains several larger sand dunes covered with trees. The area is designated as a landscape protection area according to the Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG) .
Uetersen is centrally located in the Pinneberg district. It borders in the north on the communities Heidgraben and Groß Nordende , in the east on the city of Tornesch , in the south on the community Moorrege and in the west on Neuendeich and the Seestermüher Marsch. Uetersen is located on the historic Ochsenweg , which is used as a long-distance cycle path. Uetersen can be reached by car via the A 23 and the federal road 431 . The city is located about 30 kilometers northwest of Hamburg on the Pinnau , a tributary of the Elbe . The river is a federal waterway in the area of responsibility of the WSA Hamburg and is of great economic importance for the city. Other rivers are the Basshornlaufgraben and the Ohrtbrookgraben , which forms the border to Tornesch in the lower area, and the Heidgraben , which supplies the Uetersener Rosarium with water. The historic Mühlbach, which drains the Rosarium, was piped when the city center was redesigned in 1984 and flows underground through the city. Other bodies of water are the monastery dyke weather , which drains the extensive monastery paddocks, and the historic castle moat .
City structure
Characteristic of Uetersen is the long main street as a testimony to the development of the area that was raised to a town in 1870 from a village that was built along a military road. The residents were initially settled along the old Heerstraße (Lohe, Mühlen-, Kreuz-, Marktstraße, Großer Wulfhagen and Großer Sand, with a focus on Mühlenstraße, the market-like, expanded Marktstraße and Großer Wulfhagen), which initially followed the Geestrand in a north-south direction followed and then ran east and later south-east and crossed Pinnau. There were other settlements in the Lohe with Katzhagen and others ran along the Ochsenweg to Pinnau and around the Kleiner Sand, which branched out into other small streets. Later settlements took place in the direction of the march and today's Eggerstedsberg as well as in the Tantaus Allee and in the north and northeast of the city.
The urban area of Uetersen today consists of the old town with the monastery district and the city center, the districts Lohe , Katzhagen, Kreuzmoor, the residential areas around Rudolf-Kinau-Weg, Am Seeth / Wischhörn, Am Gehölz, Tornescher Weg, Am Steinberg, Weidenkamp / Ohrtbrook and Small Twiete, but the limits are not fixed. The new development area “Am Hochfeld” in the north of the city has been added. Around 320 residential units are to be built on the 38 hectare area, which has already been partially developed.
climate
The city with the adjacent marshland is influenced by the North Sea and the foothills of the Gulf Stream . The climate is characterized by mild winters and humid summers. Due to the short distance to the North Sea of about 60 kilometers, the city is influenced by strong winds mainly from the west , which often bring the notorious "North German dirty weather " with them in autumn .
In the winter months it can be very stormy. Temperatures can drop to −20 ° C. The lowest measured value was −30 ° C in February 1940. The warmest month is July with an average of 17 ° C, the coldest is January with 1.1 ° C. Temperatures around 28 ° C are not uncommon in midsummer. Since the 1990s, peak temperatures of up to 37 ° C have also been measured (August 1992, July 2010). The coldest March with −17 ° C and the warmest October with an average of +13 ° C since the weather records of the German Meteorological Service was in 2006. The warmest October day since the weather record was the 19th in 2012 with a temperature of around 22 ° C. Over the course of a year, an average of 778 millimeters of precipitation falls.
Biotopes and nature conservation
An ordinance of the district of Pinneberg as the lower nature conservation authority of December 19, 1997 protects a total of 117 natural monuments in Uetersen. Among them is the Uetersener copper beech , which is one of the striking and old tree specimens in southern Schleswig-Holstein. In the outskirts of the city there are several biotopes that are under nature protection. The Uetersener inland dune in the south-east of the city is one of the three natural monuments in the Pinneberg district that need special protection , along with the Lange Anna and the Holmer Sandberge .
Since the 1990s, the local SPD association has been considering a tree protection statute for the protection of trees. The attempt in Uetersen to create such a statute has so far failed because of the majority of Christian Democrats in the council.
A particular problem of the city is the strong infestation of the numerous horse chestnuts by the leaf miner . For years, attempts have been made in November to come to terms with the plague with volunteers. With the support of the German Forest Protection Association (SDW), the first central event of the nationwide Chestnut Day was held in Uetersen in November 2008 . According to estimates by the SDW, around two hundred million larvae were destroyed in this action, in which around five hundred helpers were active.
In March 2012, the first action in Schleswig-Holstein was created with the support of Wikiwoods, a 6,600 square meter orchard on the outskirts. The fruit trees are intended to help stop climate change and promote environmental awareness and environmental education .
environment
Uetersen gained national notoriety for its dioxin problem. Large parts of a new development area (Am Eichholz / Esinger Steinweg) are located on former fields on which dioxin-containing paper sludge was spread in the 1960s. In the meantime, a large part of the affected soil has been provided with an additional protective layer of earth. A complete renovation requested by the neighbors did not take place for cost reasons and was also viewed by experts as not necessary. A danger to the groundwater is denied, but cannot be ruled out. Measurements for this take place. At the edge of the area there is another field contaminated with dioxin at the K 22 and another dioxin-containing paper sludge landfill in the Pinnau floodplain.
Soil samples are taken regularly in the vicinity of an old household waste dump on the Pinnau, near the sampling port.
Within the urban area there are other former landfills and properties polluted by commercial enterprises (tanneries, tree nurseries, etc.).
On January 1, 2003, the state ordinance for the Uetersen water protection area came into force in order to protect the groundwater in the catchment area of the waterworks and thus the water supply from contamination in the long term. The inhabitants of the city of Uetersen, the Seestermüher Marsch as well as the city of Tornesch and the municipality of Heidgraben are supplied with drinking water from Uetersen.
One third of the water protection area is in the western urban area of Uetersen and two thirds in the Seestermüher Marsch. Due to the former, polluted operating area of the Tesdorf leather factory ( 1,2-dichloropropane ) and the use of chlorotoluron as a plant protection agent , the groundwater is contaminated and has to be cleaned with an activated carbon filter system, which is expensive . However, pollutant inputs from groundwater are still in the extracted raw water. That is why it is mixed with the drinking water of the Hamburg waterworks , which is supplied from the Haseldorfer Marsch, in a ratio of 20:80 and delivered to the end consumer.
history
Origin of the city name
The name of the city of Uetersen probably originated from the Low German term (de) üterste enn , which means something like (the) extreme end . The name refers to the fact that the place is at the transition from the Geest to the Seestermüher Marsch. The first verifiable written mention comes from a deed of donation from the Knights of Barmstede around 1234, in which the place is called Utersten . Other forms of name were Vtersten , Vttersten and Vtirzsten in the Baroque . There were a total of around 20 different forms of writing before the current city name prevailed. But there is also the assumption that the name came from Ütersteen , which means outermost stone , or comes from Ütristina , the old name of the Pinnau.
prehistory
The founding year of the city cannot be determined because there is no document about it. Various archaeological finds indicate the first human settlements in the urban area before the Iron Age . In 1789 a Bundschuh from the Roman Empire was found . It is the earliest known archaeological find in Schleswig-Holstein. Other significant finds were urns, Slavic shards of vessels and a skull of a peat cattle (bos brachyceros) from around 500 AD. However, this does not mean that there must have been continuity of settlement from this time until the 9th century. In 809, after the subjugation of the North Elbian Saxons from Hamburg, Charlemagne's troops are said to have moved through the area to build a castle in Esesfelth , and in 827 the place is said to have been founded on the orders of Emperor Ludwig the Pious (778-840) . The Wends later moved through the settlement several times. Around 1050 there was also said to have been a Benedictine monastery on the edge of the settlement, about which Johann Friedrich Camerer reported in his 1762 work Mixed historical-political news in letters from some strange areas of the duchies of Schleßwig and Hollstein, their natural history and other rare antiquities . Nothing is known about the whereabouts of the monastery.
Later, the Knights of Haseldorf probably moved their residence from Haseldorf to Uetersen and around 1154 a simple castle ( Motte ) in wood and earth technology including a small subdivision with some houses and huts is said to have existed in a Danish document as Uthersen taarn ( outermost tower) was mentioned. This name refers to the location of a castle on a Geestsporn on the edge of the Seestermüher Marsch. In another written document, which was probably last available to Johann Friedrich Camerer in 1758, another monastery is said to have existed around 1220, which was inaugurated under Gerhard I and Gebhard II . Nothing is known about its whereabouts either. This document can no longer be found, so that the city has no historically verifiable year of foundation. Around the same time, two castles , Burg Uetersen (I) and Burg Uetersen (II) , were built near the present monastery by the knights of Barmstede , who were connected to the knights of Haseldorf , to whom only the moat of the larger ones remained Castle reminds. During renovation work on the monastery grounds in 2008, a lot of earthenware from the 13th century was found. On the basis of these shards it is assumed that there was a fore and a main castle.
History of the founding of today's city
It is proven that the place belonged to the original parish of Barmstedt in the 12th century and up to the first quarter of the 13th century and that knight Heinrich II. Von Barmstede , who was in the service of the Archdiocese of Bremen , owned his property to the Cistercians around 1234 , which also included the settlement, the water mill and the oldest documented windmill in the country belonged to the establishment of a nunnery. This was later the center of the history of the development of today's city.
Through further donations from the knight's descendants and purchases by the monastery, the property was constantly expanded, which was largest in the 13th and 14th centuries. The possessions ranged from Krempe to Klein Flottbek and from Kehdingen near Drochtersen to Bönebüttel near Neumünster . At the beginning of the 14th century, the monastery began to breed Holstein horses. This is documented by a document from the year 1328: Convent provost Johannes gave the provost of Neumünster monastery two young horses from the monastery's own stud farm. It is the oldest document in Schleswig-Holstein that documents the existence of a mare .
12th to 16th centuries
The place was initially probably limited to the castle of the knights of Barmstede and the nearby manorial water mill. It developed relatively quickly that around 1300 the place became the center and namesake of the lordship and bailiwick of Uetersen and was initially administered by Johann II and after his death (1321) by an inheritance contract from Adolf VII .
Already in 1664 (and again in 1746) the place received the status of a patch . This led to the settlement of more families. 256 houses were counted in the middle of the 17th century. The favorable location on Heerstrasse and the crossing over the Pinnau near the monastery at that time accelerated development. The navigability of the river began at the crossing of the Pinnau. This provided a short land and water route to the rapidly developing economic center of Hamburg.
Through the cultivation of grain and the manorial water mill, there was a brisk trade in grain and mill products with neighboring Hamburg via the Pinnau. In addition, the trade in brickwork and the burning of lime from mussels developed, which was driven out by land and water. Extensive river and coastal shipping developed quite early.
In the village, the craft entered into a guild bond under the leadership of the shoemakers and potters . Every year there were two large markets at Jacobi (July 25th) and Felicianus (June 9th).
Like other places in the region, Uetersen was not spared from wars and disasters. In 1282 there was the first battle at Uetersen between an army of the ruling Prince of Holstein Gerhard I with Hamburg support and rebels from Dithmarschen and the Haseldorfer March under the leadership of Heinrich IV. Von Barmstede. The rebels were defeated, the counts conquered the castles of Uetersen and Haseldorf. Heinrich IV von Barmstede was able to redeem it later for a payment of five thousand marks.
In 1306 dissatisfied noblemen and knights incited the farmers from the Haseldorfer Marsch, who feared the loss of their privileges, to an uprising against the Holstein counts. They received support from the Dithmarscher and Krempermarscher farmers, who had already successfully resisted an armed attack by their masters a few years earlier. In addition, the Kehdinger and Altländer helped them from the opposite side of the Elbe. At the second battle near Uetersen on July 28 of the same year, the rebels and their leader Pelz, a member of the von Wedel family , whom they also called Bishop Pelz , were joined by a coalition of the Dukes of Lauenburg and Lüneburg and the Counts of Holstein under the Bremen's Archbishop Giselbert's leadership defeated after hard fighting; the ringleaders were captured, publicly whacked and quartered . The nobles were banished and lost their possessions . Some of them found admission in Lübeck, which at the same time was enemies with the counts. The peasants were deprived of the privileges they had received when they began cultivating the march. The Counts of Holstein consolidated their power through the castle of the Barmstedes in Uetersen and the construction of the Hatzburg near Wedel.
Between 1347 and 1352 the Black Death raged in Uetersen and the surrounding area, claiming many lives, and the number of nuns and conventuals in Uetersen Monastery decreased noticeably. One did not understand the cause of illness, nor did one have any idea of suitable countermeasures. Attempts were made to master the disease through prayer and atonement, quarantine of the sick, flight of the healthy and the search for scapegoats. Even "cattle cures" (the killing of cattle) were used, even though a prolonged famine was as good as endured.
Around 1398, Klaus Störtebeker and his comrades made the area around Uetersen unsafe. So he allowed himself to be driven up the Pinnau to Uetersen in the cover of darkness and the tide with several boats (his ship anchored at night in front of the mouth of the Pinnau). There they tried to steal provisions and cattle, but they only partially succeeded and were driven away by the residents. A pirate was killed, another captured and executed the following day in front of the Drostei in Pinneberg. Simon von Utrecht met the Duke of Schleswig and the Count of Schauenburg in Uetersen in 1435 to hold preliminary talks there on the Peace of Vordingborg , which took place from July 15 to 17 of the same year between Erik VII of Denmark at Vordingborg Castle was concluded with Adolf VIII von Holstein.
After illnesses and war needs had brought about from the beginning to the middle of the 14th century, a quiet period followed in which the place developed further. In the first years of the 15th century great disaster broke out again on the place and the monastery. In 1762 Johann Friedrich Camerer wrote in his work Mixed historical-political news : “But these times were unhappy for him. It burned the same with all splendor (the monastery), and what the fire did not rob the dangerous water (the great flood of 1412). The ponds (dykes), dams, fields and all series of countries were completely defended and destroyed at this time. “As a result, the nuns of the monastery and residents of the village became so poor that they had to beg. More storms, floods, crop failures and severe winters followed, which made great demands on the residents. On February 14, 1648, Uetersen and the surrounding area were hit by the natural disaster in Holstein , a hurricane with the fastel evening flood and an earthquake with conflagrations. From Glückstadt to Hamburg countless lands and buildings were devastated, 11 church towers were blown down (including that of the monastery church) or collapsed. Countless people and animals were killed. Camerer reported on this accident: "The storm that raged in this area at this time is said to have had much of an earthquake." Only very slowly did the place and the inhabitants recover from the great calamity of the 15th and 16th centuries.
By a privilege from the year 1524 the prelates and the knighthood in Schleswig-Holstein obtained the highest judgment over their subordinates. From 1573 a regional court was set up in Uetersen, which was held twice a year in spring and autumn and was chaired by the monastery provost. He was supported by twelve sworn court men (today lay judges at a jury) from the respective district. The place was considered a noble estate before the comparison of the kings with the dukes in 1647. The monastery had the right to appoint guardians, administered wills and exercised jurisdiction. Around 1750 the place had four quarters: Klosterhof with Katzhagen, Großer Wulfhagen, Lohe and Großer and Kleiner Sand. To the east there was still the Bashorn parcel. There were 256 houses in the village, seven of which were villa-like.
In 1545 the "Uetersener Schützengilde" was founded , one of the oldest rifle guilds in the country . In 1786 it was subordinated to the "Uetersen Fire Protection Guild" by the monastery provost Peter zu Rantzau .
reformation
The Reformation in Uetersen was only started in 1555 through the personal intervention of King Christian III. enforced. The Uetersen monastery was not ready to follow the king's orders to confess and submit to the new doctrine. The Lutheran preacher Balthasar Schröder, who was introduced by the king in 1541, had to give way after seven years because of the opposition of the nuns against the Protestant teaching, whereupon the nuns, supported by the Counts of Schauenburg, accepted a Catholic clergyman again. Only when King Christian III. Visited the monastery personally with a delegation, he chased it away and again ordered a Protestant preacher, Johann Plate, who stayed as pastor in Uetersen for 26 years. The monastery was then converted into a noble women's monastery. This resulted in long-lasting disputes between the Counts of Schauenburg and the Dukes of Holstein, which were only settled years later. On May 5, 1559, the county of Schauenburg also became Protestant.
17th century
In the 17th century, water, fire and war problems, which often occurred simultaneously, brought the residents and the town to the brink of ruin more than once. On January 21, 1603, so much snow fell in Uetersen and the surrounding area that a house could hardly be seen. Several people were killed in the snow masses. The worst time began with the appearance of the plague in 1605. From Easter to two weeks after Pentecost , the epidemic raged so badly in Uetersen and the surrounding area that over 1000 people lost their lives and entire families died out. On July 21, 1623 the place and the surrounding area were hit by an unusual storm. The result was: “A terrible storm, during which at Uetersen, Esingen, beym Moor, in the building land (Kirchsp. Uetersen) and Niendiek a cruel hail fell, partly the size of a small Hünereyer, which damaged a lot of cattle and broke windows knocked all the grain, wheat and barley into the earth and thus completely destroyed it. "
In 1627, the All Saints Flood of November 7th in Uetersen and the Haseldorfer March caused considerable damage, several people drowned. In the following years the place was hit by bad harvests and again by the plague. In 1635, the “ Uetersen Fire Protection Guild ”, a predecessor of today's volunteer fire brigade, was founded to protect the place from fires. In 1640 an orderly forest management began and the market rights were reorganized. In 1662 a major fire, probably caused by arson , almost completely destroyed the place. A few years later (April 1697) another fire disaster destroyed large parts of the village. Around thirty houses burned down within a few hours.
Thirty Years' War
The place was spared from the Thirty Years War to a certain extent, although it was on the historic Heerstrasse. Most of the fighting took place in the area. In July 1627 Tilly crossed the Elbe near Artlenburg , besieged the nearby Pinneberg and was seriously wounded in the last assault. Then Wallenstein came from Ostholstein , occupied the Hatzburg near Wedel and Haseldorf and spared the place, although he could easily reach it via the Pinnau.
On August 31, 1645 the last Swedish commander withdrew, but left half a company with 63 horses at the Blomschen Hof in Uetersen under Otto von Ahlefeldt , which were stationed until the beginning of November.
Swedish-French War
In the Swedish-French War (1635-1648) there was again fighting in the area around Uetersen. The Swedish army marched through the place in 1647 and partly devastated it. The Pinneberger bailiff Dr. Stapel wrote in a report: “ … in times of war the subjects sometimes cut wood out of necessity and sold it in Hamburg… the poverty is so great that most of them cannot pay the fine (for the illegal felling). “He went on to write:“ That a number of Uetersen residents asked him for discounts (logging) because of their burned-down and ruined houses ... “When they withdrew later, the parishes of Horst and Hohenfelde , which belonged to the Uetersen monastery, suffered badly. Twelve years later (1657/58) the Swedes resided in the Uetersen area. They destroyed the Schauenburg Castle in Pinneberg; the castles in Haseldorf and Haselau also went up in flames. Then they attacked Uetersen and burned the monastery down.
Second Northern War
The war between Denmark and Norway against Sweden (1657-1660) brought war unrest again with it. Holstein was occupied by the Swedes under the leadership of Karl X. Gustav . The Swedish war camp was in Oldesloe. On the opposite side were the Danes, who got help from Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg . Friedrich Wilhelm gathered 18,000 men and led them to Holstein, which the Swedes had already invaded. The Swedes, under the leadership of Count Palatine von Sulzbach, withdrew from this overwhelming force and let many villages such as Pinneberg, Segeberg and Uetersen go up in flames. But not only the Swedes left their mark. The allies, most of them the Poles, brought hardship and misery with them, so that the war was remembered for a long time as the “Polish War”.
Due to the wars and diseases, the population in Uetersen and the surrounding area had decreased significantly. Poverty did the rest: “The people were wild” and their farms were dilapidated, so that the wolves reproduced unhindered. "The wolf plague was so great that in 1650 consultations took place in the state parliament in order to devour the 'grisen dog'." To this day one tells of a village in the Kummerfelder Wohld (about 12 km as the crow flies from Uetersen) the war was canceled because of the wolves.
18th century
Just as the 17th century ended, so did the 18th century. The Swedes spread new horrors in the Northern War . Under the leadership of General Magnus Stenbock they burned down Altona in 1713 and moved on to nearby Pinneberg. There Stenbock met Anna Catharina von Sparre, who saved Uetersen from being pillaged (see the section: Historical legends, originals and mythical creatures).
In its further course the 18th century was free of any major war events in the area. But now the plague and the damp element were taking their toll. In 1711 the plague spread from Poland and Pomerania via Hamburg, so that in the summer of 1712 the Pinneberg rule from Wedel was hit by the plague and there were also victims in Uetersen. One of the biggest catastrophes in Uetersen was the devastating storm surge of Christmas 1717, when the town and the neighboring Haseldorfer- and Seestermüher Marsch were flooded to such an extent that barges could go as far as Elmshorn , ten kilometers away . Other severe storm surges were those of April 16, 1745 and October 7, 1756, when the city was flooded meters high and 62 people drowned. On December 19, 1792 there was another devastating storm night in which only a few houses remained undamaged and numerous trees were uprooted. In 1762, the largest spread peat fire in the Duchy of Holstein from Uetersen. It stretched far into the County of Rantzau and Herrschaft Pinneberg on both sides, so that one could hardly ride or drive in these areas. Several thousand marks of peat were destroyed.
Despite the plague and natural disasters, Benedikt von Ahlefeldt made Uetersen the most important town in Holstein at the time . As the client, Benedikt von Ahlefeldt had the still existing Propsteig building (1733/34) and the new monastery church in Uetersen built by his architect Jasper Carstens . In 1737 he had the road that came from Elmshorn through Uetersen paved (today's B 431) and the “ Buttermarkt ” with the “ Jungfernstieg ” became the hub of cultural life. At the same time the first pharmacy was opened (1737) and the first guilds were founded (1738 Schumacher, 1739 Schmiede and 1751 the pottery guild). At the same time, the first schools were built (1719) on the initiative of the monastery prioress Ida Hedwig von Brockdorff and Alexander Kölpins . The later “Rector School” had such an excellent reputation throughout the country that students like Johannes Rehmke or the nephews of Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke visited it.
The inhabitants mainly traded in grain, beer, lime, peat and horses. The grain trade in particular brought a certain wealth with it, and some impressive buildings were built at the time. The port was a transshipment point for mussels that were needed for lime burning. Camerer corrected in his mixed historical-political news about this area at the harbor: “I often thought of the young Telemaque when he describes the beauty of Egypt… By the way, it looks good when you look through this area, there are big white mountains around him Shore, and from afar the stranger does not know what it is. But if you get closer, the matter is explained. There are little white sea-shells, which are brought from Holland, and from lime is gebrennet here. " .
Other merchants traded in beer and horses, they exported beer in large quantities to Altona, and the horse trade with Hamburg was a profitable business. The common people traded wool to Hamburg, which was processed there.
Between 1790 and 1795 there were 19 uprisings and unrest in the duchies, ten of which were related to the wave of price increases in the 1990s. The riots in Kaltenkirchen (1794) were put down by Colonel Johann von Ewald , who then moved into quarters in Elmshorn and Klostersande. There were riots in Uetersen at the end of October of the same year. More than 200 people, mostly from the lower classes , took to the streets. They threw among others the houses of the Customs administrator Titus Kölpin and grain dealer Knoop with stones, because these grain and grain ran . The calm was only restored through the deployment of two squadrons from Colonel Ewald. This unrest attracted a great deal of attention in society.
19th century
After the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig , nearby Hamburg was liberated by the Swedish, Prussian and Russian troops in May 1814 during the so-called Hamburg French era . Most of these troops then quartered in southern Schleswig-Holstein. In the following Cossack winter, the Uetersen population suffered from the attack by the Lüneburg hussar regiment and the billeting of the troops of Generals von Pahlen and von Voronzow . Almost every day foreign troops marched through the town via the old military road. Soldiers who had to be fed were quartered in all private houses and public buildings. There was looting , arson and attacks on the population. During this time around 48,000 soldiers with 28,800 horses touched the place. The total costs caused by damage, assaults and extortion amounted to about 20,000 thalers . After the troops had withdrawn, the monastery received remuneration in Bons (Russian debt). The Uetersen population, however, was not compensated. Until the mid-1970s, graves of Russian soldiers who had died in Uetersen during the Cossack winter could be found in the Langes Tannen forest on the so-called Russenberg .
Around 1818, a dysentery epidemic broke out in the town . Theodor von Kobbe wrote in his book Humorist Memories from my academic life in Heidelberg and Kiel in the years 1817–1819 about the disease: “ That Uetersen was afflicted by a dreadful epidemic, the dysentery, which consisted of around 400 fire places At that time, he barely spared five houses ... and made a sacrifice from almost all of them .
In 1823 the Uetersener Greenland Company was founded, which, like several other cities on the Lower Elbe and the navigable tributaries , operated whaling . Important Uetersen Greenland drivers were Matthias Karlau, Bartholomäus Heinrich Meinert, Otto Mehlen and Jacob Thormählen. The first and only ship "Friendship" was equipped in Altona. Several expeditions were undertaken with a lot of effort into the North Sea. But the whale and seal trapping successes were comparatively small. In 1850 the ship was renamed "Freya" and from June 1850 to June 1857 around 7,400 seals, two whales and four polar bears were caught. With the sinking of the only Uetersen whaling ship on April 8, 1859 during a snow storm off Greenland , whaling in Uetersen came to an abrupt end. On August 23, 1848, a major cholera epidemic began in Uetersen , which struck the entire Pinneberg district and cost countless lives. At the time, it was assumed that it was brought in by "boatmen" who had come from Hamburg with an ewer . The Schleswig-Holstein survey also claimed victims, although no fighting took place nearby.
After the German-Danish War , the administration and the judiciary were separated in 1867. The place was awarded its own district court, which began its work in the same year. It was subordinate to the Altona regional court and later to the Itzehoe regional court . Initially, justice was administered in rented office rooms, and in 1880 the company moved to what is now the Uetersen District Court .
On January 13, 1870, the town of Uetersen was awarded the town code.
industrialization
In the 19th century, Uetersen experienced rapid population growth in the course of the industrial revolution . The population increased from 2600 (1803) to around 6000 (1898) inhabitants. Connected by artificial roads with Elmshorn, Pinneberg and Wedel or Altona, there was brisk trade. The inhabitants mainly engaged in large and small businesses, trade, agriculture and shipping. Large-scale industry was relatively important.
22 companies in the village each employed more than 5 workers. The largest were operated with steam, including a cigar box, hat and trimmings factory with 36 workers. Others operated with steam were a fertilizer, an oven and tile factory, six grain and tan mills and two cement factories, one of which was the first and for a long time the only German Portland cement factory based on the English model and employed 350 workers. In the area there was a brisk trade with the production of barrel tapes in around 40 shops. The products were sold in Hamburg, Denmark, Sweden and America.
Around 3400 ships annually use the city's unloading and loading bays. In 1880 the Uetersen master gardener Ernst Ladewig Meyn was the first to start the inoculation (refinement) of roses. This method of growing roses inexpensively was the cradle of rose growing. The townscape changed significantly by 1900, the simple wooden houses were replaced by new buildings, others were expanded with bay extensions. In 1857 the first gas station in the country was inaugurated and in 1858 the first gas lanterns illuminated the place, which replaced the petroleum lamps by 1879 .
In the city there were now several commercial shops, hotels and inns, four doctors, a pharmacy and a newspaper. There were welfare institutions, a twelve-class elementary school, an eight-class girls 'middle school and a six-class boys' middle school. Other schools were the royal seminary training school, the municipal preparatory school and the secondary school for girls. The city administration was led by a mayor, two city councilors and twelve city councilors. The city's fortune at the end of the 19th century was 1,134,960 marks.
The labor movement developed early on in Uetersen. At the end of August 1865, Karl von Bruhn founded the first community of the General German Workers' Association in Uetersen. At the general assembly of the General German Workers' Association in Hanover from May 26 to June 5, 1874, the Uetersen workers were represented by H. Winter for the first time. At the Gotha Association Congress in 1875 , H. Fahl represented the party members from Pinneberg, Barmstedt and Uetersen of the SDAP Bebels and Liebknechts . In 1889 there was a cement workers' strike in Uetersen and Moorrege. The strike was on 16./18. May 1889 in Breslau at the Congress of German Potters, at which the local potters were represented by the main agitator Warting from Uetersen. 260 of the 380 workers went on strike for better working conditions. After almost two weeks, the striking workers gave up for financial reasons, despite the material support from the population. Until the end of 1889, the strike sparked the public debate among the Uetersen population. This workers' struggle was followed by a large number of strikes in the German Reich in 1889 and 1890, which only became legal after the Socialist Act was repealed .
20th century
A disaster from 1904 is anchored in local memories. During the celebrations to mark the birthday of Kaiser Wilhelm II , five children broke into the ice of a pond on the former Ochsenweg and drowned. A memorial stone over three meters high was erected in their honor in the New Cemetery . Later the pond was drained and a school was built there.
A few years later, in 1913, the then military leader of the Uetersen volunteer fire brigade founded the voluntary medical team and established the first ambulance service in the Pinneberg district. In the same year, the Kaiser Wilhelm Rose Garden was inaugurated, which was named in honor of the 25th anniversary of the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The inauguration ceremony took place with many guests from home and abroad.
First World War
During the First World War (1914–1918), the city was in dire straits because retail and business were idle and there was a growing shortage of food and clothing. The wives of the men called up for military service and the single women were obliged to work in place of the missing men. The food was given out on special cards and the citizens needed official vouchers for clothing, as well as for other consumer goods. The supply difficulties occurred particularly in the notorious " turnip winter 1916/17 ", plus the severe frost and the lack of heating coal. Funds from the city and donations from the ranks of the merchants, property owners, associations and other institutions made it possible to maintain a people's kitchen in the basement of the town hall , which helped many residents to satisfy their hunger. This “people's kitchen” was operated until after the war. After the end of the First World War, 307 men from Uetersen did not return and were considered "fallen" or "missing".
After the First World War
Shortly after the start of the First World War, prices rose in general, funds kept falling, and the gold mark continued to decline in value. During the hyperinflation of 1923 , the copper money disappeared almost completely and there was also a shortage of other small change, so that the city felt compelled to have its own banknotes produced: initially only 25 and 50-pfennig notes, later also higher value, mainly as emergency money . In November 1923 it was possible to bring inflation to a halt; the Rentenmark was introduced and almost all Uetersen citizens and companies started at "zero". The city was one of Prussia's economic distress areas. The unfavorable traffic situation at that time had a negative effect, because the city was only connected to the Altona-Kiel line via a branch line (the Uetersener Eisenbahn ). The once important cement and brick industry was shut down in 1930, the large tanneries and the milling industry had hardly anything to do. They gradually closed or throttled operations.
In the elections for the city council and municipal councils on March 2, 1919, the SPD became the dominant political force in the city, while the bourgeois forces were in the lead in the surrounding rural communities. These had mostly come together to form unit lists. The subsequent election to the Prussian Landtag, Provincial Landtag Schleswig-Holstein and the District Assembly on February 20, 1921 brought about a "shift to the right". The SPD and DDP suffered losses, while the DVP and DNVP recorded gains. The local elections on May 4, 1924 ensured another triumph for the bourgeois parties, and the city's social democratic majority was lost. In another local election on November 17, 1929, the NSDAP did not appear because it lacked suitable candidates to compete against the well-known local politicians. The bourgeois list (“Justice and Truth”) continued to dominate in the city, representing “special interests” of various strata of the population.
A natural disaster, unusual for this latitude, occurred on August 10, 1925, when the Uetersen tornado of strength F3 destroyed large parts of Uetersen. The storm lasted over a quarter of an hour, the path of devastation was about ten kilometers wide, thousands of windows were smashed, innumerable roofs were destroyed by hail, factory chimneys fell over and most of the harvest was destroyed. Centennial trees were uprooted or bent like matches, including the city's landmark at the time, a 700-year-old oak . One was killed and 13 were seriously injured. Property damage to buildings and agricultural assets amounted to around four million Reichsmarks (the equivalent of 13.2 million euros), and it took months to repair the damage. Horticulture, which is important for the city, took several years to recover from this natural disaster.
In the same year, the first post bus line in Schleswig-Holstein started operating from Uetersen and ran three times a day. In 1928 the city celebrated the forty-ninth North German federal shooting with around six thousand festival participants. On March 24, 1938, a major fire destroyed Röpckes Mühle , which was then the largest mill in Schleswig-Holstein. More than 150 helpers from the Uetersen fire brigade and the neighboring brigades from Moorrege, Heist , Groß Nordende and Elmshorn as well as 100 soldiers from Uetersen Air Base were on duty. In 1929 the winter showed its hardest face, on the night of February 10th to 11th the temperature dropped to −24 ° C, all pumping systems failed and within that night the ice on the Pinnau reached a thickness of 15 cm. It was the coldest recorded winter so far.
At the end of 1934, the first negotiations began to build a military airfield on the site of today's Uetersen airfield . The trigger was the city's magistrate , who hoped for a significant improvement in the economic structure by building an air base. Construction of the military airfield began in March 1935, and the official topping-out ceremony took place in Uetersen Town Hall on August 29, 1936. Almost five weeks later, on October 3, 1936, Uetersen became a garrison town , and under the command of Colonel Hans Hückel , the Flieger-Ersatzabteilung 37 moved into the town and occupied the newly built barracks on the air base. On October 31 of the same year, the first recruit swearing in took place.
Rise of National Socialism
In the Reichstag election in July 1932 , the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) won 51% of the voters in Schleswig-Holstein, while the nationwide result was only 37%. There are numerous studies on the causes of this unique rise of National Socialism in the north. Among other things, the cession of North Schleswig , the effects of the global economic crisis on farms and the emerging rural people's movement , the low religious affiliation of the electorate to one party and the break in the civic voter potential of the German People's Party (DVP) and German National People's Party (DNVP) are mentioned.

In Uetersen, the SPD and KPD still had a strong electorate in the Reichstag elections in November 1932 . The NSDAP received 2,037 votes, the SPD received 1,480, the KPD 537. The resistance in Uetersen and the surrounding area was organized under the leadership of Victor Andersen (SPD) and others; spectacular actions such as preventing the deployment of 600 SS supporters in December 1932 were carried out. Over 750 people took part in a demonstration against the National Socialists on February 18, 1933.

In the Reichstag elections in March 1933 , the NSDAP achieved an overwhelming share of the votes of over 52% (Pinneberg district 53.6%). Although the election campaign of the SPD and KPD had been hampered by newspaper bans, violent disruptions of election meetings and arrests, both parties were able to almost achieve the absolute number of votes. After the elections to the state parliament, district council and city council, also held in March 1933, the NSDAP received eleven of the 18 seats in Uetersen, the SPD six and the KPD one seat.
In March 1933, twelve SA and SS members were sworn in as auxiliary police officers in Uetersen; KPD functionaries were arrested and house searches were carried out. The SPD and KPD deputies were removed from the city council, the then mayor Heinrich Wellenbrink had to give up his office. The unions were brought into line and the National Socialists seized the union traditions. May 1st was celebrated in a large demonstration led by the National Socialist politicians. On May 1, 1933, however, a “red flag” was also blowing on the chimney of the paper mill.
On May 10, 1933, a book burning took place in Uetersen as part of an "action against the un-German spirit" by the German student body . Books by Jewish, Marxist and pacifist authors were publicly burned on the butter market.
After the SPD was banned in June 1933, other KPD and SPD functionaries were victims of the persecution, including the former Elmshorn mayor Fritz Petersen . The civic associations were brought into line .
The KPD had prepared itself for resistance in illegality. Party members tried to smuggle in propaganda material across the Danish border, distributed leaflets and supported the families of imprisoned comrades by secretly collecting money. The perpetrators of the illegal actions have been tracked down. In 1935, the Gestapo arrested 269 resistance fighters in the Pinneberg district. Eight leading KPD functionaries were sentenced to high prison terms on November 13, 1935 in the “criminal case against Johannes Offenborn and others” for “preparing a highly treasonable enterprise ”. In 23 subsequent trials, 261 other people, including 31 from Uetersen, stood before the court, which imposed a total of 661 years in prison and 40 years in prison.
In 1934 the city celebrated its 700th birthday and the opening of the new rosarium. The city birthday and the rose show, the largest of its kind in Germany at the time, were used for Nazi propaganda . Adolf Hitler became an honorary citizen of the city and the Friedrich-Ebert-Schule was renamed the Adolf-Hitler-Schule. In the rosarium a memorial stone was placed on the windpipe from 1925, the stump of the 700-year-old oak was removed and replaced with the newly planted Adolf Hitler oak. In 1936, the Uetersen NSDAP local group , founded in 1930, moved into the former private school building on Moltkestrasse. This was called the Brown House in Moltkestrasse by the Uetersen population . After the National Socialist rule, a sanatorium was established in the building . In 1939, shortly before the outbreak of World War II, the NSDAP local group had 568 members, 61 of whom were political leaders or officials.
Around 1,650 prisoners of war and civilian prisoners from 21 countries, mostly from France, Poland and the Soviet Union, were barracked in Uetersen and some of them were forced to work in industrial plants and in agriculture . With 358 female forced laborers, MESSAP (Deutsche Messapparate GmbH), a subsidiary of the Junghans clock factory in the Black Forest , was the largest armaments factory in the city; timing devices and detonators were installed there. Another armaments company with 135 forced laborers was the Pinnauwerke GmbH, an offshoot of the Drägerwerke in Lübeck, which manufactured gas masks and filters.
255 prisoners from different nations were housed in what was then the “Deutsches Haus” hotel and 130 French people in a youth hostel. 250 men from Poland and the Soviet Union lived in the barracks on Esinger Steinweg. 160 women were imprisoned in the buildings of the Nordmark-Werke and 200 men in a barrack on Schützenplatz. Around 30 tombstones in the cemetery commemorate the prisoners of war and their children who died of illness or exhaustion.
Second World War
After the outbreak of the Second World War , motor vehicles were also confiscated, shut down or only allowed to be driven with special permits in Uetersen due to “economic necessity”. The compulsory blackout was ordered for the evening hours. The Hitler Youth collected for the winter relief organization and the Uetersen population received ration cards and vouchers for basic supplies. Energy saving and donations in kind were also called for. With the start of the Total War in 1943, most of the city's businesses were shut down due to a lack of goods and raw materials; the men who were not conscripted were called in to do important military work. In 1944, as in the rest of the country, the last forces were mobilized for the war. Almost all Uetersener men from 17 to 59 years were screened and withdrawn immediately. The remaining boys, girls and women were trained to be sick or Wehrmacht helpers in October 1944 on the basis of a Wehrmacht decree. From then on, the Uetersen population had to live with severe restrictions. In addition to food, electricity was also allocated.
Uetersen survived the Second World War without major damage. On the night of June 6-7, 1940, the Royal Air Force launched a direct attack on Uetersen. Some houses in the east of the city were destroyed. There was one dead and about 30 injured. From June 11 to June 28, enemy machines flew over the city in waves, dropping random bombs nearby. Another direct attack followed in the night of September 8th to 9th, 1940. Around 25 high-explosive and incendiary bombs were dropped in and around Uetersen, some of which damaged some houses in the city area, some severely. Two planes were shot down. The four crew members of an aircraft were captured and maps of Uetersen and the surrounding area were seized, on which the targets were marked in red. The second plane was able to glide along the Elbe and later sank.
Towards the end of the Second World War, the destruction of National Socialist evidence began. Military installations were blown up, files, records, party uniforms, party books and swastika flags were burned, pistols, machine guns and bazookas sunk in the Pinnau and Rosarium. Party badges and the like were secretly buried. The German troops from Hamburg, Wedel and the nearby air base withdrew via Uetersen to a defensive line Elmshorn-Barmstedt- Alveslohe , but there was no more fighting.
On the evening of May 4, 1945, the German associations surrendered in Northern Germany and the following day the deed of surrender was signed on the Timmeloberg . British armored troops from Moorrege, coming across the Pinnau, occupied Uetersen and ended the National Socialist rule in the city. The Uetersen mayor of the NSDAP, Hermann Dölling, was arrested after the occupation by British armored troops in the town hall and taken to an internment camp as part of the denazification . He was later classified as "exonerated".
Around 1200 Uetersen died in the Second World War and around 400 were taken prisoner of war, around 220 are still missing today.
post war period
After the Allied invasion, there was great hardship from 1945 to 1950. Whole streets were occupied by the British military and residents had to look for new accommodations. Due to the many refugees, returnees and displaced persons and the prisoners of war and civilian prisoners from 21 European countries, the population had risen to over 14,800. The new citizens were housed in gyms, basements and empty factories. In addition, over a thousand people were illegally in the city. The gas supply in the city could not be resumed until 1946. There was a lack of coal and the scarce wood was divided up. Kiln witches, small moveable ovens, were often only used to heat individual rooms, and layers of ice formed on the interior walls. Coats were handcrafted from old blankets and the former Wehrmacht camp was looted. Red pleated skirts were sewn from the Nazi flags found and various items of clothing were made from disused flour sacks. The famine winter of 1946/47 , which went down in history as the hardest of the 20th century , also fell during this period . Around 20 people either froze to death or died of exhaustion in the city. At the same time, Sweden was fed an attempt to provide children and adults with four warm soups a day during the winter months with mass feedings in order to save them from frostbite.
Until the currency reform there were few things to buy. The barter trade was very important and barter centers were set up in some shops in the city, where various things were offered. Bathtubs were in short supply and people took turns bathing once a week. There was a bathing establishment in town with two or three bathtubs that could be rented. A full bath cost about 1 mark.
The economic boom began in the early 1950s. The port basin started in 1952 was expanded again in 1963. Uetersen thus got the largest inland port on the right side of the Lower Elbe. Residential buildings were built on a large scale. A large market square was created in the city center, and regular waste water disposal and garbage disposal were established. In the 1950s and 1960s the city became the “football stronghold” in the Pinneberg district. The new Rosenstadion was built, and TSV Uetersen became champions in the Hamburg Germania season in 1950, rose to the Hamburg amateur league and became champions in the Hamburg Oberliga in 1956/57 . From 1951 to 1969, the club was fifteen times football district champion, eleven times in a row.
The Hamburg storm surge in 1962 also hit Uetersen. On February 12, a severe hurricane of force 12 with heavy rain showers swept over the city, uprooted trees and covered entire roofs of apartment blocks. Flying roof tiles damaged parked cars. According to initial estimates, the property damage was around 150,000 DM. The water from the Elbe was pressed into the Pinnau with a tidal wave on the night of February 16-17, the river became a torrent and flooded from the port over the monastery meadows Uetersen inner and old town as well as the historical monastery complex. More than 50 pigs drowned in the floods. From midnight to four in the morning, the flood reached its highest level of 4.09 meters above sea level and there was a power outage in the city. A disaster response team was set up in Uetersen's town hall, and emergency power generators were used in the hospital . Helpers from the surrounding fire brigades, a squadron of the flight candidate regiment from the Uetersen Air Base and the local branch of the Federal Air Protection Association as well as countless volunteers were on duty until February 28th. In the vicinity of the Harles and Jentzsch factory premises , the Pinnau dike was broken to a width of four to five meters. For several days, volunteers and soldiers dragged sandbags until they were exhausted, rammed stakes and laid fascines to close the hole again. According to initial estimates, the damage caused was 7.2 million Deutschmarks. In the moor rain opposite, the Pinnau also overflowed its banks and flooded parts of the community; some buildings and agricultural areas were under water.
In the same year the city got into the headlines of the international press unintentionally by the doctor Kurt Borm when he was arrested at his workplace in the Uetersen hospital. During the job interviews, he deliberately kept his past secret. He was accused of working under the code name Dr. Storm. to have killed more than 6652 mentally ill people in action T4 and 1,000 concentration camp prisoners in action 14f13 in Sonnenstein . However, he was acquitted in 1972.
The redesign of the city began in the early 1970s. A new district was built near the Kreuzmoor ; In 1977 the new construction of the town hall and the pedestrian and shopping area began and the town center was redesigned. Many historical buildings such as the post office from 1902 and the Röpckes Mühle were demolished for the construction of modern residential and commercial buildings. The former city station had to give way to a new street layout. On September 1, 1981, the new pedestrian and shopping area and the newly built town hall were inaugurated. In the winter of 1978/79, the city was affected by the snow disaster in northern Germany . For several days, public life came to an almost complete standstill, and in some parts of the city the snow was up to two meters high. On September 12, 1982, a major fire destroyed the timber trade HW Feuerschütz oHG in the city center. A single-family house and a few cars were also destroyed by flames, and neighboring houses were partly badly damaged. It was the largest fire in the history of Uetersen, with property damage of several million D-Marks.
In 1984 the city celebrated its 750th anniversary from August 24th to September 2nd. Part of the event was broadcast live on TV ( Current Schaubude , ZDF Sunday Concert ) and radio ( Hamburger Hafenkonzert , NDR 1 Welle Nord ). At the same time, the 50th anniversary of the Rosarium Uetersen was celebrated.
In the following years, further extensive redesign and construction measures were carried out and an additional industrial area was designated.
In November 1995 the Feuerstein restaurant , formerly known as Café von Stamm , burned down in the old town , which is well known far beyond the city limits . More than 100 firefighters from Elmshorn, Uetersen and Wedel were busy with the extinguishing work for over twelve hours. In a dramatic operation, the emergency services were able to prevent the flames from spreading to neighboring historic buildings.
21st century
On January 18, 2003, three hundred and fifty neo-Nazis took part in a march led by Christian Worch and Thorsten Heise . This led to clashes between 650 police officers and some of the 1,500 counter-demonstrators; around 150 anti-fascists broke through a police cordon near the Nazi meeting point. The march ended in chaos, the neo-Nazis were pelted with projectiles, cars and windows were demolished. There were a total of 18 arrests, including one neo-Nazi.
In 2004 the city became known nationwide when the Uetersen hospital was closed despite protests, although it was the only clinic in the Pinneberg district to be in the black. After that, the former hospital was the seat of the Regio-Kliniken, which became a case for the public prosecutor's office due to mismanagement and alleged corruption of the management . The company made a loss of nine million euros in 2008. A deficit of over seven million euros was reported for 2009, and in 2013 another million losses were recorded. In the meantime, the clinics have been sold to the Sana Kliniken in order to ensure the health care of the population. In summer 2006, as in other cities, the soccer world championship was celebrated with fan festivals. On the occasion of the city's fan festival , the nationwide photo competition Give the World Cup your face was held, in which two Uetersen children (8 and 9 years old) took the top places and became known throughout Germany. They were selected from 1490 candidates, landed in places 1 and 2 in the children's category and achieved places 6 and 7 in the overall ranking.
In 2007, at the request of Cologne-based DEVK Versicherung, around three hundred apartments in the Kreuzmoor district of Uetersen were confiscated and placed under forced administration. The apartments had been derelict for years and a large part of the approximately seven hundred people lived in inhospitable conditions. The grievances were only remedied with investments in the millions. In the meantime, the administrator sold a total of 376 apartments in the district to a housing company.
In the summer of 2007, the city was threatened by major floods several times after heavy rains. Only with the help of hundreds of helpers from the technical relief organization from Hamburg, the disaster control and the voluntary fire brigades from the district could the overflow of the Rosarium be prevented and the city saved from major floods. The fire brigades and the technical relief organization were busy pumping out the water from the rosarium, sometimes for days. The annual autumn and lantern festival could only be held under difficult conditions because parts of the city center were under water. On June 28, 2008 one of the largest rescue exercises with more than 260 activists for aspiring paramedics in Schleswig-Holstein took place on the grounds of the Nordmark-Werke . The pyrotechnic explosions could be heard in the neighboring communities and a thick cloud of black smoke was visible far beyond the city. Part of the population of Uetersen believed that a serious accident had occurred. A large contingent of the Uetersen volunteer fire brigade, the rescue service of the RKiSH (rescue service cooperation in Schleswig-Holstein) and the rapid deployment group (SEG) of the German Red Cross unsettled the population even more, although this large-scale exercise had been announced in the media beforehand . In addition to the treatment of explosion injuries, burns and smoke poisoning, the main focus of this exercise was on technical rescue as well as operational logistics and organization.
In March 2009, Thormählen made headlines in the media again. Since 2006 he had not passed on the heating costs, which amounted to more than half a million euros, to E.ON Hanse . As a result, several hundred tenants in a high-rise building on Klosterkoppel turned off the gas so that they had neither heating nor hot water for days. The gas supply was only resumed when the Hamburger Sparkasse, the main creditor of Thormählen, came to an agreement with the energy supply company and took over a guarantee. A little later, the high-rise in question and another high-rise were placed under compulsory administration. In December 2009 the landlord was charged with 29 cases of commercial fraud. The proceedings against Thormählen were discontinued at the end of February 2010 against conditions and payment of compensation to the tenants. The E.ON Hanse is aiming for another civil lawsuit against Thormählen to sue for gas debts of around 193,000 euros. The houses had to be auctioned since mid-2010, but the date for the auction was postponed several times. At the end of 2010, the Hamburger Sparkasse surprisingly sold the houses to an unknown buyer, the market value was around four million euros.
In June 2009, work began on redesigning the new shopping center on Gerberplatz. Groga-Immobilien-GmbH invested ten million euros in the expansion of the previous shopping center. The project was to be implemented in a hurry on 1.4 hectares. Part of the renovation work has already been carried out and the construction work should be completed by April 2010. Due to the severe winter of 2009/2010 and further additions, the completion was delayed until mid-August.
In mid-July 2009 the city celebrated its 775th anniversary. However, the plans were overshadowed by disputes over the budget and quarrels between individual merchants. The Schleswig-Holstein State Costume Festival with over 350 participants from 31 associations was also held at the event, and the 75th anniversary of the Uetersen Rosarium was celebrated. After long planning disputes, the construction of the cafeteria “KantUene” for the Ludwig-Meyn-Gymnasium and the Gustav-Heinemann-Realschule began near the former Uetersen hospital . The construction work was finished after the 2010 summer vacation.
Despite protests from the population, due to the new school reform , it was decided to phase out the operation of the primary and secondary school Am Roggenfeld from the school year 2010/2011. Merged with the Gustav-Heinemann-Realschule it now forms the regional school "Rosenstadtschule" Uetersen.
With a victory by FC St. Pauli II against Holstein Kiel II, TSV Uetersen rose again as runner-up in the Landesliga Hammonia through the "back door" to the Hamburg Oberliga and received the Cuban in the Rosenstadion on the occasion of the city's 775th anniversary National soccer team for a friendly match.
On April 24, 2010, Uetersen was one of the main venues of the action and human chain from Krümmel to Brunsbüttel (KETTENreAKTION!). Several thousand people as well as politicians from the SPD , Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen and other initiatives from the surrounding area, the Lübeck, Ostholstein and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania area formed a human chain across the city to Tornesch. In some cases, there were massive traffic problems because the main roads were blocked by participants.
At the end of July 2010, the tallest structure disappeared from the cityscape. The 75 meter high chimney of the StoraEnso paper mill from 1906, which can be seen from afar, has been shortened to around 40 meters. It was one of the landmarks next to the 60 meter high Raiffeisen silo at the port and the Uetersener water tower.
In December 2010 it became known that the Uetersen feed company Harles and Jentzsch had processed dioxin-contaminated fats and was at the center of a feed scandal ("Dioxin scandal"), in which, according to the authorities, at least 3000 tons of dioxin-contaminated feed fat had been delivered to numerous German feed manufacturers for further processing. whereupon several thousands of farms supplied in Germany had to be blocked.
At the beginning of July 2011 the city celebrated its 777th anniversary. The highlights of this festival were the appearance of 30 bands and individual artists, including Joon Wolfsberg , and the tying of the longest rose garland (320 m) in Europe.
The plan to merge with the neighboring town of Tornesch failed in September 2013 due to a citizen vote. While the majority of those eligible to vote in Uetersen were in favor of a merger, 86% of Tornescher voters rejected it.
Historical legends, originals and mythical creatures
In historical records and chronicles of the city people appear again and again who distinguished themselves through special deeds or their idiosyncrasies. There is a report of an old witch who lived in the forest area of Langes Tannen and is said to have been up to mischief there.
Charlotte Amalie von Hessen-Kassel (1650–1714) paid two visits to the monastery with around 80 subjects in 1675 , where she was fed princely and disappeared again without much thanks. The monastery clerk Johan Moritzen later calculated the cost of each visit to be almost 60 schillings per person.
38 years later there is a report of an Anna Catharina von Sparre who, with her unauthorized actions in 1713, saved the place from cremation by the Swedish troops of Magnus Stenbock , a cousin and childhood friend of Miss von Sparre († 1749). When the troops were already in Pinneberg, they traveled there with some companions on January 9, 1713 and paid their respects to the general. He recognized the long-forgotten school friend. After a detailed conversation, which was conducted in Swedish, she appeared at the door and told her companions: “It's all given to you!”. Nevertheless, the monastery later had to pay 1180 Reichstaler as pillage money. In 1717 the authorized representatives of the Uetersen parishes brought an action against Anna Catharina von Sparre with the provost and prioress of the Uetersen monastery on suspicion of nepotism . Nothing is known of the outcome of the proceedings. Obviously the prioress had managed to resolve the affair internally.
Another Altuetersen figure was Miss von Hammerstein, called the monastery spirit von Uetersen, a gaunt person and always dressed in black. She moved completely silently through the monastery. The Uetersen population feared her because she often appeared out of nowhere and never uttered a sound. She was a daughter of the Prussian Agriculture Minister Ernst von Hammerstein-Loxten .
The superstition was still widespread in the 18th century in the city. A bare rapier was placed under the head of the pregnant women to protect them from subterranean spirits. Many ordinary people also believed that they got their food from a dragon . Camerer wrote in his Mixed Historical-Political News : “A lot of people in this area are completely concerned that their food comes from the dragon, many people have seen it too, and they have painted it so clearly that it gave me a half Tormented night in a dream. When will reason rule the world and the common man with truth? They are far from our times, these golden times. "
Population development
At the beginning of the population survey in the middle of the 17th century, 256 houses were counted in Uetersen. In 1803 the place had 2601 inhabitants, around 1875 the number rose to around 4,300, from 1900 to 1910 the population grew from 5,958 to 6,259, making it the second largest town in the Pinneberg district after Elmshorn (13,640). By 1938 the population grew to 7,673 people. Towards the end of the Second World War , the population rose explosively to over 14,800 as a result of refugees from nearby Hamburg and the displaced from the former eastern regions and has since grown slowly but steadily to over 17,800 inhabitants in 2006. The forecasts made in the 1960s assumed that the population would rise to 60,000 (the Klosterkoppel high-rises and the oversized town hall date from this period), but turned out to be wrong. With 2.23 residents per household, the average household size is above the state level of Schleswig-Holstein (2.09 inhabitants per household).

Population forecast 2025
According to the calculations of the Statistical Office for Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein from November 2007, the city of Uetersen can be expected to have a stagnant population of around 18,700 in 2025 for the period 2007 to 2025. A population decline of 2.7 percent is expected. The city is increasingly trying to counteract the forecast by designating additional residential and mixed areas . This approach is criticized by more and more citizens, because the last free areas and backyards in the city are to be built on. They fear a loss of quality of life due to the elimination of the last green spaces and the dense backyard development. In July 2010, the city's urban development and building committee approved the demolition of the former Deutsches Haus hotel in the historic old town; In the meantime, a residential park with three townhouses with nine condominiums has been built there. This building project was also criticized by some citizens.

This results in a population share of around 11 percent. The proportion of the population of children and adolescents under 18 years of age is 19, those of 18 to 59 years of age 55 and those over 60 years of age 26 percent. In the meantime, the unemployment rate in Uetersen fell to 5.5 percent in September 2009. The net income of private households in 2008 was around EUR 2,983.

He was followed by the two sisters Margarete Hofmann at 105 (* May 25, 1901; † 2006) and Adolfine Ladiges at 103 years (* May 1, 1903; † 2006).

Ernst Ladewig Meyn was first a city councilor and later another mayor of the city, followed by Jacob Christians and Heinrich Wellenbrink . After the National Socialists came to power, he was "removed" from his office and replaced by Ferdinand Bauth, who was only in charge of the office for a short time. In 1933, despite protests from the Uetersen NSDAP branch, Hermann Dölling was appointed mayor of the Pinneberg district leadership. After the occupation by British armored troops, he was arrested in the town hall in July 1945 and replaced by Heinrich Stühmeyer, who temporarily led the office for a few months. Heinrich Wilckens (1892–1956) was the first freely elected mayor after the Second World War. Wilckens died on September 30, 1956 in a traffic accident while on a business trip in Uetersen, the subsequent funeral service was the largest in the city's history since 1888.

From 1988 to 1994 Wolfgang Bromma (SPD) was the city's head of administration, he later lost the backing of part of his political friends, so that in 1994 Karl Gustav Tewes was elected as his successor. This pursued a consistent austerity policy and halved the city's debts; he resigned from office in 2009 because he had reached the age limit. From 2003 to 2009 Wolfgang Wiech was mayor of the city, he was considered a "man with rough edges" who did not like to be talked into his official business and later lost the backing of Uetersen politicians and citizens and was voted out in 2008. Since then, Andrea Hansen has been the first female mayor in the city's history. After her election, she became a member of the international organization Mayors for Peace in May 2010 .

badges and flags
Blazon : “In red over blue and silver waves, a silver crenellated wall with a red gate, inside a fallen golden anchor, which a silver dolphin is wrapped around and two six-pointed golden stars; above the wall two silver tin towers with pointed roofs; between them a silver nettle leaf floats. "
Uetersen has one of the oldest coats of arms in Schleswig-Holstein and the oldest city coat of arms in the Pinneberg district. It comes from the city's first heraldic seal from 1871 and was later colored. It is unclear whether the coat of arms was designed by Hans Freiherr von Weißenbach from Leipzig . The anchor, wrapped in a dolphin, is known as a personal symbol of the Venetian publisher and printer Aldus Manutius , who lived in the 15th century, and is probably reminiscent of merchant shipping across the Pinnau at that time.
The Uetersen flag consists of three horizontal stripes. The top stripe is blue, the middle one is white, and the bottom one is red. In the center it shows a city coat of arms that tapers at the bottom. It can often be seen in the cityscape in many places, especially at festivals and events.
Equal Opportunities Officer
An equal opportunities officer has also been active in the city for several years . The basis for the equality work in Uetersen is Article 3 Paragraph 2 of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany in conjunction with the Schleswig-Holstein Equal Opportunities Act and the municipal code for Schleswig-Holstein.

This partnership is intended to express the mutual connection and interdependence of the Bundeswehr and the Uetersen population that has lasted for generations.
After a visit by the Moroccan ambassador Rachad Bouhlal , a further city partnership with the Moroccan rose city El-Kelâa M'Gouna should be sought. This would have been the first city partnership between two rose cities. In the meantime, this project is no longer pursued. A newspaper partnership with the Allgemeine Zeitung in Namibia was also considered in order to conclude a further city partnership with Windhoek or another city in Namibia. This partnership has not yet come about either.
Culture and sights
Cultural life and regular events
The most famous festival in Uetersen is the autumn and lantern festival at the end of the Holstein Apple Days. For years, the biennial old town festival, the city festival and the rose festival have also been an integral part of the annual celebrations. Another popular event is the wine festival between the town hall and the rosarium and the Christmas markets in December. The Whitsun rabbit exhibition of the rabbit club U75 and the show drive of the ship model building club Uetersen have been taking place on May 1st for decades. A highlight for the youth was the annual Woodrock Festival in Langes Tannen, which last took place in 2008 due to disagreements between the organizers and the city. Bands and individual artists performed there for free. A new edition of the festival under the name "Rock'n'Rose" took place on August 13, 2011 for the first time. Since then, it has been repeated annually on the second weekend in August under the direction of Bernd Möbius.
From 2010 to 2013 the annual benefit event “Viva con Rock” for the benefit of Viva con Agua took place in the cafeteria in Uetersen. The proceeds from the benefit concerts went to the association founded in 2005, which is committed to improving the drinking water supply and availability of sanitary facilities in developing countries.
The wedding fair , which takes place in February, attracts newlyweds and other visitors. Fossils, minerals and ceramics days take place on the premises of the Langes Tannen Museum. Sports related events include the TSV Uetersen's athletes' ball, the UeNa and Rosen Cups and two major football events. For some years now, bands and artists have been performing in almost all restaurants in Uetersen for a small fee at Uetersener Hafennacht. The traditional weekly market, which is of great cultural importance for the citizens of the city, takes place on the market square every Friday. This square was also used as a fairground until it was redesigned. New additions are the “Deichpiraten Festival” at the Stichhafen, an open-air event with national bands and the “Markttreyben zu Ueterst End”, a medieval market on the historic Burgplatz at the monastery.
Buildings
The most famous sight is the historical monastery, which was donated by Heinrich von Barmstede II in 1234 and converted into a noble women's monastery in 1544. The centerpiece is the monastery church , which was built by Jasper Carstens from 1747 to 1749 . It is a baroque hall building with a pulpit altar and a large ceiling fresco by the Swiss church painter Giovanni Battista Innocenzo Colombo . The former monastery Uetersen is not received in full, but with more listed buildings, such as the Monastery vorwerk and the house of the provost , it is at the heart of the old town. The house of the prioress is also the oldest building in the city. The Holstein brick style is typical . Augusta Louise zu Stolberg-Stolberg , known as Goethes Gustchen, and Metta von Oberg , a German baroness and companion of Augusta Louise , also lived in the monastery .
The Uetersener water tower was built by Dykerhoff & Widmann in 1925/26 . He is considered to be a representative of an architectural style that moves between tradition and modernity. Its water tank was clad with expressionist brickwork over an open reinforced concrete skeleton structure.
The building of the former district court dates from 1857 and the Guerle Villa was built around 1900. In the old town are the Bleeker House , built in the middle of the 19th century, and the Diermissen House , in which the Low German author and folklorist Johannes Diermissen lived until his death. A building that characterizes the cityscape in the old town is the former bathhouse Kurbad W. Güthe at the entrance to the monastery.
Right next to the monastery church is the building of the former girls' community school with a small museum. The main pastorate , built in 1781, is a listed building because of its high architectural and historical value. The former Field Marshal General Helmuth Karl Bernhard von Moltke often stayed in this house for weeks to relax and met with Cäcilie Bleeker, Michael Lienau and Ludwig Meyn , who were part of the higher society of the city. The Eiswirth house dates back to the middle of the 18th century and was inhabited from 1747 to 1750 by the Swiss church painter Giovanni Battista Innocenzo Colombo. The former Pension Lehning on the edge of the old town bears witness to the town's village past and was built in 1764 using components from 1622. In the east of the city, on the banks of the Pinnau, is the former farmer's mill , which was built by the Pinneberg architect Klaus Groth in 1924.
Museums
The town history museum in Parkstraße shows the beginnings of the town from the 13th century and the development of Uetersen from the Flecken to the award of town charter in 1870. It offers information about trade, shipping, whaling, industry and trade up to and including the First World War the economic changes after the two wars. A collection of engines from the former ILO engine works in Pinneberg can also be seen.
The Langes Tannen Museum consists of three listed buildings, a classicist villa from the early 19th century, a barn from 1762 that was rebuilt after a fire, and a mill plinth from 1796. It offers changing events and exhibitions. The chimney of the former Langes Mühle, which was blown up during the Second World War, is located on the site . This is the only remaining part of the former steam mill and has been under monument protection as a cultural monument of particular historical value since 1997 .
The former girls' community school from 1813, which was renovated and renamed Haus Ueterst End through the efforts of some private individuals and the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Heimatbund (SHHB) , houses an extensive amber collection and a memorial for former seminarians of the Ludwig-Meyn-Gymnasium. Various household items from the former German provinces of Pomerania , West and East Prussia are also on display.
A new addition is the private shoemaker's museum in Sandweg. It shows over 600 pairs of shoes from two centuries as well as handicraft equipment, tools and machines and various shoemaking utensils. It documents the history and development of the shoemaking trade from the early 18th century to the present day.
Parks and recreation
Uetersen is known for its Rosarium , a rose park that attracts coffee trips from far away. The rosarium was opened as part of a rose show on the occasion of the 700th birthday of the city on June 13, 1934. In 1951 the first North German rose show took place after the war, which was followed in 1952 and 1956 by others. In the meantime it has been redesigned several times and in 1961 the Federal Rose Show was presented there. With an area of seven hectares , it is the largest rose garden in northern Germany and forms the center of German rose cultivation. In Uetersen, more than 35,000 roses and 1020 different types of roses in all color shades and scents are presented. In July 2009 the Rosarium celebrated its 75th anniversary.
Uetersen also owns several man-made parks.
The park of the Langes Tannen Museum and the adjacent forest with the so-called witch forest allow for long walks. Only a few 100 meters further is the municipal barbecue area , where everyone can hold celebrations free of charge in consultation with the city and where events also take place. The five-hectare monastery complex of the Uetersen Monastery, which is privately owned, also allows romantic walks between historical buildings and old trees. In the adjoining old town there are other historical avenues, footpaths and promenades . Not far from the city, in an idyllic forest and meadow landscape, is the Oberglinde outdoor swimming pool, a natural swimming pool that can also be used free of charge.
graveyards
Uetersen's oldest cemetery still in existence is the maiden cemetery on the grounds of the Uetersen monastery with old tombstones of the prioresses, conventuals and the monastery provosts. The first documented burial took place in 1658, the last one so far was in 2003 with Isabell von Hölck (née Countess von Platen-Hallermund). According to a legend, the knight Heinrich II von Barmstede is said to be buried under a tombstone in the monastery cemetery in Uetersen. This slab was removed from the cemetery in 1995 to protect it from further deterioration due to weather and air pollution . It is now attached to the inside of the cloister on the south house of the monastery. As a whole, the cemetery is considered a cultural monument.
The second largest cemetery is the Old Cemetery , which was built in 1835 and abandoned in 1965. In 1992 the cemetery was sold to the city for 100,000 D-Marks , with the condition that it be converted into a walk-in park for the citizens. After the maintenance and redesign measures, it was named Cäcilie Bleeker Park in 1999 , after the Uetersen benefactress and first honorary citizen in Schleswig-Holstein Cäcilie Bleeker (1798–1888). She was also the founder of numerous social institutions, such as a girls' school and the city's hospital. The graves of the agricultural scientist and soil scientist Ludwig Meyn and of Uetersen's first mayor Ernst-Heinrich Meßtorff are still in the cemetery.
In the north of the city is the city's largest cemetery, the New Cemetery . It was laid out in 1901 and is one of the largest cemeteries in the region with an area of around ten hectares. In the cemetery there are around 30 tombstones of prisoners of war and their children who died of illness or exhaustion.

In Uetersen there are a large number of monuments and memorials, for example a memorial for the victims of the First World War with 326 names of the fallen citizens from Uetersen, Moorrege, Neuendeich and Nordende is located in the central location of the New Cemetery . At the back of this memorial there is also a memorial for the victims of the Second World War.

A new addition is the “Uetersener Kinderstein”, a memorial stone for aborted or stillborn children.
In the old cemetery from 1835 there are still around fifteen tombstones with the names of fallen members of the First and Second World Wars, which are looked after by the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge . In the immediate vicinity, in the school yard of the Ludwig-Meyn-Gymnasium, there is a memorial stone for the soldiers who fell in the two world wars.
Another memorial is located at the beginning of the memorial street in the center of the city, it commemorates the Uetersen who fell in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–1871). It bears the inscription by Theodor Körner (1791–1813) on the reverse: Fatherland! We want you to die. As your great word commanded. May our loved ones inherit what we deliver with the blood.

tourism
Uetersen is on the edge of the Seestermüher and the Haseldorfer Marsch, which border the city in the west and south. Uetersen is integrated into the AktivRegion Pinneberger Marsch & Geest tourism concept and is primarily of interest to weekend tourists and day-trippers. Cycle tourism plays a special role. Uetersen is the station of several cycling and hiking trails. The permanent IVV - Rosenstadt Uetersen hiking trail runs through the city with a length of ten kilometers and is accessible all year round.
The most important cycle route is the Ochsenweg long-distance cycle path with two variants between the Danish border near Flensburg and Wedel near Hamburg , which branches off in Uetersen. Some sections of the historical path are no longer passable today, so that the historical and tourist routes are not identical everywhere. Other cycle paths such as the North Sea Coast cycle path , the rose growing & tree nursery cycle path, the Hamburg “cycle tour” and the Haseldorfer and Seestermüher Marsch cycle paths lead through the city.
The Haseldorfer Marsch and the Hetlinger Schanze can be reached via the federal road 431 in the direction of Wedel , both of which are popular local recreation destinations. Other destinations include the airfield Heist, the River Elbe in Wedel with the willkomm-höft and about seven kilometers east of Uetersen in Ellerhoop located Arboretum of the circle Pinneberg.
International Garden Show 2013
In 2011, the Uetersener Rosarium was selected from 51 applications as a partner project for the International Garden Show (igs) in Hamburg. A jury from the International Garden Show and the Hamburg Metropolitan Region Office selected the Rosarium as a cooperation partner of the International Garden Show.
The selection criteria for the partner project included the importance of the project for the Hamburg metropolitan region and a reference to the main themes of the garden show. The jury's decision: “The city of Uetersen's rosarium impressed the jury as a facility that brings gardens and plants closer to its guests in a unique way. Like the igs 2013 itself, your project offers a variety of plantings and varieties of green beauty and radiates far beyond the region. "
Gastronomy, night life and leisure activities
There are numerous bars , cafés , pubs and restaurants in Uetersen . All the previous discos no longer exist. As early as 1800 there were the first dance halls in the former place. In 1834, the monastery provost Conrad Christoph von Ahlefeldt felt compelled to stop the "dance rage" because "it was highly displeased that children who have not yet been confirmed visit the public dance floors" . That was the first attempt to stop the "dance madness". But the Uetersen population was not forbidden from partying and going to dance halls; if there was no dance in your own town, you simply went to the neighboring towns of Elmshorn and Hamburg. During a “special church visitation” from Gottorf in 1848, the monastery provost was asked to stop this too frequent “dancing pleasure” even more. The “morality” was endangered, he was alleged, “that illegitimate births there multiply in an alarming way ... from the years 1840 to 1845, 8, 11, 11, 15, 18, 26 occurred in chronological order, so that In 1845 EVERY 6th child was illegitimate, whereas in 1840 this was the case with EVERY 19th child. ” The church visit recommended the establishment of libraries as a means of setting limits to the dance frenzy . It was not until the judicial councilor , superintendent and syndicus Carl Friedrich Hermann Klenze (1795–1878) realized that morality, custom and the dance frenzy could not be overcome with such means. Even today, the Uetersen population is considered to be particularly "party-loving"
Particularly well-known were the dance hall “Tivoli”, from the 3rd quarter of the 19th century, which was demolished in 1991 and replaced by a block of flats, the hotel and dance hall “Deutsches Haus”, the restaurant with dance hall “Zur Recreation” and the “coffee house Ladewig ”, a well-known meeting place for soldiers before and after the Second World War. Until the 1980s there were in the city of more than 40 restaurants, bars and three clubs, two of which were torn down and the third, the widely known across the city limits Restaurant Feuerstein in the Old Town, formerly Café master , in November 1995 burnt down . The most famous restaurants in Uetersen today include the “Asia Garten”, the “Briolett”, the “PARKHOTEL Rosarium”, the “Uetersener Hof” and the “Ricci's Family Restaurant”. The "La Cave" and the "Win On", the only Thai restaurant in the Pinneberg district, no longer exist. In addition to the restaurants, there are other cafés, ice cream parlors, pubs and fast food outlets, some of which also offer a delivery service.
The Taps restaurant has been offering live music on some days since the early 1970s and is one of the few trendy bars in the Pinneberg district. It used to be called Keller-Taps to distinguish it from two other restaurants of the same name ( stair taps in the Großer Sand, grape taps in Marktstrasse) .
The Bowy café , which was an alternative bar for the youth, celebrated its twentieth anniversary on May 7, 2005 before it was finally closed at the previous location at the end of May. A new opening elsewhere is still in question. Alternatively, there were annual events in Kröger's Gasthof in Tornesch.
The youth center was reopened after a long break. It offers young people an alternative for spending their free time through attractive programs (for example discos , holiday programs, children's and youth camps, play facilities).
Kindergartens, schools and further education
The care offer of the kindergartens, two of which are municipal, one Catholic and two Protestant, is supplemented by the AWO kindergarten , the Baptist forest kindergarten and the Waldorf kindergarten . There are also four other youth facilities in the city that offer, among other things, active leisure activities, support with school and private problems, help with homework and applications, as well as leisure and day trips for all age groups. The Arbeiterwohlfahrt maintains two supervised youth housing groups in the city, one in the former children's home “Hus Sünnschien” from 1923 and one in the “Wiesengrund” residential area.
With the cities of Elmshorn, Kellinghusen, Pinneberg, Tornesch and Wedel as well as the municipality of Neuendeich, the city maintains the five-city home in Hörnum on Sylt . It is one of the most modern youth rest homes on the North Sea and also offers weekend stays for internal seminars and training for youth group leaders.
The city of Uetersen maintains with the Friedrich-Ebert-school a primary school and with the Scholl School , now Förderzentrum Uetersen a special school that from August 2010, the students of Tornescher Förderzentrum Wilhelm Busch School accepts. Due to the expiry of the main school branch of the Fritz Reuter School in Tornesch in July 2007, the Birkenallee primary school is one of the schools responsible for Tornesch pupils and offers school attendance until 2:10 p.m. with the so-called open all day . The school Am Roggenfeld is another school responsible for the discontinued secondary school branch of the Fritz-Reuter-Schule and, in addition to the secondary school leaving certificate, also enables preparation for the secondary school leaving certificate. With the former Gustav Heinemann School , now called the Rosenstadtschule , the city has a primary and regional school that is responsible for the pupils of the former Tornesch secondary school .
The largest and best-known school in the city is the grammar school ( Ludwig-Meyn-Gymnasium ), which was previously administered by the district and was taken over by the city on August 1, 2009. A transfer fee was negotiated with the incumbent district administrator until September 2013 . She is responsible for the Uetersen / Tornesch / Moorrege region as well as for Heidgraben, Heist, Groß Nordende, Haselau, Haseldorf and Neuendeich. With over 1250 students, it is one of the largest high schools in Schleswig-Holstein.
With the neighboring town of Tornesch there has been the "Schul Zweckverband Tornesch-Uetersen" since 2002 for the operation of the joint comprehensive school Klaus-Groth-Schule ( community school with upper secondary level in Tornesch), in which the Abitur will be taken from the 2011/2012 school year. There is a discussion about managing all Tornescher and Uetersener schools together in this association.
Several choral societies and a privately run music school are available for further musical training.
The city has a city library with around 38,000 media and a community college operated jointly with the city of Elmshorn . The contract between Elmshorn and Uetersen expired on July 31, 2011, and the Rosenstadt adult education center has been working with the adult education center in Tornesch ever since. In addition, from August 1, 2011, VHS Wedel will offer cooperation courses, which will enable , among other things, a part-time course to become a certified banking specialist and further training to become a certified foreign language correspondent ( English ). About 175 free lecturers (male / female) are available for the 470 courses (115 of them in Uetersen) in the areas of languages, health, society, work and culture. The subject of integration is a focus of the program.
A town hall with around 500 seats is located at the Rosarium, where smaller events take place. It is possible to hold larger events in all of the city's sports halls. Only one of the former four cinemas has survived.
With the University of Applied Sciences Wedel , the Physical-Technical Institute Wedel and Nordakademie in Elmshorn are three large private educational institutions in the vicinity of the city. In addition, the AKAD University of Applied Sciences Pinneberg offers the possibility of distance learning.
societies
Former clubs
After the German-Danish War (1864) the first war club was formed in Uetersen with the name “Comrades-in-arms Uetersen from 1848/51”. It consisted of veterans of the Schleswig-Holstein Army who fought against Denmark during the survey period. They strongly opposed the incorporation of Schleswig-Holstein by Prussia and turned against the policy of Bismarck .
The second war club was the "Combat Comrades Association 1870/71 for Uetersen and the surrounding area" and was founded by those involved in the Franco-German War in 1870/71. However, they were in favor of the new nation-state and welcomed Bismarck's policies. Since they only accepted combatants, the "Military Brotherhood Uetersen" was founded in 1881. Former members of the German army who had only served after the war gathered here. In 1907 this association had over 170 members.
With the “Neptun Marine Association” founded in 1895 and the “Cavalry Association of 1897”, two more war clubs emerged in Uetersen, which gradually joined the “Uetersen Military Brotherhood”.
In 1917, the two largest warrior associations merged to form the “Comrades-in-arms and Warrior Association Uetersen”, which existed until 1928. Due to the reduced number of members, the "Graf von Luckner youth group" was founded in the same year and organized the District Warrior Day on the occasion of their 50th anniversary in 1931. At that time the association had around 330 members. In 1933 the association was brought into line and in 1938 renamed " NS-Reichskriegerbund - Kyffhäuser - Ortsgruppe Uetersen ". However, the club was no longer of great importance. In 1945 this association fell under the Allied ban on all nationalist and military organizations.
Today's clubs
Due to the large number of clubs in Uetersen, it is of course not possible to list all of them in this article. Therefore, only the most important and well-known are discussed.
Uetersen has more than 70 clubs. Probably the best-known club from Uetersen is next to the choir boys Uetersen the TSV Uetersen with around 2800 members, the divisions football, athletics, table tennis, basketball and handball, followed by the traditional costume group Ueterst End . Other sports clubs are Rasensport Uetersen (soccer, which emerged from the former soccer division of TSV Uetersen), Sport and Fun Uetersen, the water sports club Uetersen e. V. with two ports (pier and monastery dike), Uetersen Dostlukspor, USG Uetersener Sport Community and the tennis club. In the Stadtjugendring Uetersen e. V. another 28 clubs are grouped together, such as the German Amateur Radio Club (DARC eV), the DLRG Uetersen-Moorrege, the Rosenstadt Uetersen Music Train, the Ship Model Club, the Uetersen Chess Club e. V. and the sport fishing club Uetersen-Tornesch. There are also various other associations from different areas of interest such as the local group of the Social Association of Germany (SoVD) with around 920 members, the German Red Cross, the Oldtimer- und Technikfreunde Uetersen-Holstein (OTF), the Uetersener Schützengilde von 1545 e. V., the shooting club Uetersen from 1959 e. V., Eisenbahnfreunde Uetersen-Tornesch e. V. or the Uetersener Hagebuttenbühne e. V. (theater association). A few other clubs have been founded in recent years. These include the Hafen-Stadt e. V., young wins e. V. (Uetersener Youth and Culture Association), the Education Center Rose e. V., the association art in focus e. V., the association Rosenkinder (Association for Children in Sri Lanka e.V.), which supports socially disadvantaged children in Sri Lanka , and the Uetersener Tafel e. V. , which provides the needy with free food.

This also includes the three-field indoor sports facility of the Ludwig-Meyn-Gymnasium and the Rosenstadion , which can accommodate up to 9,000 spectators. Other private sports facilities include two fitness studios, a tennis facility, an archery facility and a shooting range.
Religious communities
Former religious communities
Around 1050 there is said to have been a Benedictine monastery on the edge of the settlement at that time, of whose whereabouts nothing is known.
From 1234 there was the Cistercian order founded by Bernhard von Clairvaux (1091–1153) in the monastery newly founded by Heinrich II von Barmstede. Between France and the Baltic States alone, there were 318 Cistercian convents, which were founded between 1150 and 1350. Although the women's monastery was one of the most respected and wealthy in Holstein, it was not incorporated into the Cistercian order. The abbots of the order could not guarantee the visits to the women's pens from them. As a result, the leadership of the order in Citeaux, France, in 1228 prohibited the incorporation of other women's monasteries. The nuns were allowed to wear the Cistercian costume and to live according to the rules of the order, but without showing this on their seal. After the Reformation, the monastery was converted into a noble women's monastery.
In 1720 King Friedrich issued a privilege for the Waldensians who were to settle in Jutland while fleeing from Berlin. 43 families with 165 people and 18 to 19 large carts moved from Altona via Uetersen to Fredericia . However, there was no community formation in Uetersen. A few years later the Moravian Brothers were reported. Christian Rantzau asks the District Administrator and Landdrosten Gebhard Ulrich von Perckentin for a report on how many subjects “had gone to the Moravian Brethren for a number of years”, whereupon Perckentin sent him a report from the Uetersen monastery preacher Ballhorn, from which it emerged that only one Maid went to the Moravian Brothers.
Jews were not allowed to settle in Uetersen until the 19th century. Members of the Elmshorn Jewish community had been allowed to peddle in the countryside in the Pinneberg and Rantzau rulers since 1744, but Jewish traders had to leave Uetersen at night with their goods and mostly return to Elmshorn on foot. Uetersen innkeepers were prohibited by the police from accepting Jews. In 1818 and 1821 the heads of the Elmshorn Jewish community made requests to the Danish king to lift the ban on staying overnight. Against this, monastery steward Matthiessen spoke out, who had local authority for Uetersen. The requests were rejected by the Royal Holsteinisch Lauenburg Higher Court in Glückstadt.
The following religious communities exist in Uetersen:
Protestant churches
In 1541 the Reformation was introduced in the Pinneberg rule . Only through the personal appearance of King Christian III twice. of Denmark in 1555 in the Uetersen monastery, the monastery was reformed despite strong opposition. This also created the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Uetersen with the monastery church , to which the Erlöserkirche on Ossenpadd, built in 1961, also belongs. In 1988 the Martin Luther House, which belongs to the Association of Communities in the Evangelical Church in Schleswig-Holstein, was added.
Roman Catholic Church
There have been Catholics in the city since 1885 . In 1902 the first Holy Mass was celebrated in a private household. In 1930 they got their first own church, which was converted into a nurses' station and kindergarten around 1950 . In 1951, a new and larger church, today's Christ the King's Church, was inaugurated on Sophienstrasse. In 2008 the Christkönig parish was merged with the St. Marien parish in Wedel to form the Heilig Geist parish. By 2017 the congregation is to be merged with five other congregations to form the pastoral area of Südholstein.
New Apostolic Church
The New Apostolic Church (NAK) has been represented in Uetersen since 1931 ; the first divine services initially took place in private homes and in the New Apostolic Church in Elmshorn. In 1965 the church in the Meßtorffstrasse was inaugurated and in October 2008 the New Apostolic parish in Tornesch merged with the parish of Uetersen. The common meeting place is now in the Messtorffstrasse.
Jehovah's Witnesses
Already after the First World War there were members of Jehovah's Witnesses in the city. During the Nazi era, Jehovah's Witnesses were persecuted, among other things because of their consistent refusal to do military service, to deliver the Hitler salute or to participate in the Führer cult in any other way. In Uetersen there were seven people who were accused and in some cases convicted of their religious affiliation. After the Second World War, the Jehovah's Witnesses Assembly Uetersen e. V., which merged with Tornescher members in 2005. The common meeting place has been in Tornesch ever since.
Free Churches
In addition to the denominations already mentioned, Uetersen is also home to the Evangelical Free Church congregation of the ( Baptists ) with the Christ Church in Tantaus Allee, which was first mentioned in 1899. In 1955 Uetersen was launched as a station of the Pinneberg community and on May 7, 1960 the first church in Tantaus Allee was inaugurated. This was demolished in the mid-1980s and replaced by a new parish hall in 1990.
Islam
The Sunni-Muslim community operates the Yeşil Cami (Green Mosque) mosque on Katharinenstrasse, which has around 185 members. This is housed in the former "Diakonissenheim" from 1899.
The Alevi-Muslim community, with almost 40 members, has its Cem evi headquarters on Seminarstrasse.

language
In Uetersen, High German with a North German (or Low German) tone color as well as Missingsch and partly Hamburg dialect is spoken predominantly . Many residents still understand Low German , but usually no longer use it in everyday life. Part of the population, especially residents of the surrounding area, still uses Low German as an everyday language. You can often hear the old local language at the weekly market on Fridays . A frequently used greeting is Tschüs and Moin , which was adopted due to the proximity to Hamburg and is used at any time of the day or night.
Economy and Infrastructure
Banks
The Sparkasse Südholstein , Hamburger Sparkasse , Postbank , VR-Bank , Commerzbank and Unicredit Bank have branches in Uetersen.
Established businesses
Uetersen is an industrial and business location with over 1000 companies. One of the largest companies is Feldmuehle (formerly Stora Enso ), which has specialized in the production of picture printing papers and wet-strength label papers in Uetersen. It is one of the largest industrial companies in Schleswig-Holstein. Bankruptcy was filed in January 2018.
The Regio Kliniken , which employ over 2,300 people in the district, who look after around 30,000 inpatients and 37,000 outpatients annually, relocated from Uetersen to Elmshorn.
Another big employer is the pharmaceutical company Nordmark, which specializes in gastrointestinal preparations and produces the active ingredients collagenase and pancreatin . The company also operates the largest snake farm in Europe. Other large companies are the now insolvent mechanical engineering and ship equipment supplier MacGregor Hatlapa , which manufactures deck machinery , compressors and rudder systems and some of the largest ship winches, and the chemical companies Voss Chemie and Oemeta. Voss Chemie has specialized in the manufacture of cold-curing plastics such as polyester fillers for motor vehicles. Oemeta is a manufacturer of industrial lubricants. Other larger companies are the Einheitserdewerk and the company ISW (Industrie Service & Wärmeträgeranlagenbau), which specializes in the manufacture of thermal oil boilers for land systems and seagoing vessels and the construction of steam generators. In the west of the city is the Harles und Jentzsch company , a specialist company for the processing of animal and vegetable fats and oils and their derivatives .
In and around Uetersen there is the largest tree nursery and rose growing area in Europe with the companies Kordes , Rosen Tantau and BKN Strobel , who control the world market for cut roses with their breeds. After leaving their “nursery”, the roses are sent to South America and Africa, where they are raised on plantations, harvested and air freighted to wholesalers around the world. Some of them find their way back to flower shops in Uetersen and the surrounding area via Dutch rose exchanges.
To the west of the city is the Uetersen wind farm with six 100 meter high turbines, which have a nominal output of 7.8 megawatts and can theoretically supply two thirds of Uetersen households with electricity. The wind farm went into operation in September 2001. An expansion of the wind farm by two plants has so far been refused by the Pinneberg district, as it is located in the “Pinneberger Elbmarschen” nature reserve.
retail trade
The largest concentration of department stores and shops is in Uetersen around the pedestrian zone / Am Markt and in the east on Gerberplatz . There have stores of various department store chains settled and are the two major shopping centers in the city. The area has good transport links and several bus stops. There are also numerous small and large shops along Marktstrasse in the old town and in the course of the Great Sand. In the course of the Kleine Sands / Tornescher Weg / Wittstocker Straße several larger discounters and specialist shops as well as two hardware stores have settled. The annual sales volume of the approximately 150 active shop units is estimated at 102 million euros, of which three quarters (around 77 million euros) were generated in the center area (as of 2011).
Public facilities
As a sub-center, which supplies a surrounding area / catchment area of around 50,000 people, Uetersen is also the location of many offices, institutions and corporations under public law. In addition to the KVIP (roundabout company in Pinneberg), the five parishes, the fire brigade, the ambulance station , a library, a post office and some advice centers, such as that of the arbitrator and the debt counseling service, there is a federal employment agency in Uetersen the ARGE , a police station and a branch of the district youth welfare office as well as the administrative office of the Haseldorf office, which is responsible for the communities Haselau, Haseldorf and Hetlingen.
Further corporations under public law are Stadtwerke Uetersen, wastewater disposal Uetersen, the adult education center, several housing and management companies and a housing cooperative.
traffic
Roads and private transport
Uetersen can be reached via the Tornesch motorway junction of the A 23 . At the same time, the city can be reached via the federal highway 431 , from which a connecting road leads to Pinneberg in Moorrege. Other important road connections lead to Heidgraben and the Seestermüher Marsch. The city is well integrated into the regional transport network, but at the same time suffers from high through traffic, especially in the inner city area.
The expansion of the controversial K 22 has been a long time coming. The city has issued a new development plan to accelerate this construction project. So the busy Ossenpadd and the Tornescher Weg (K 20) should be relieved. The planned building permit from the Kiel Ministry of Transport will not be granted at the end of 2011, as initially promised, but rather at the end of 2017. Planning for the A 20 motorway had priority. For several years now, Kreisstraße has become the “bone of contention” for interest groups and political parties. At the district level, the Greens and FDP have said goodbye to this project, only the CDU and SPD are currently in favor of the project. The SPD district parliamentary group leader Hans-Helmut Birke fears that "the political implementation of the building will be more and more difficult". "It is questionable whether there will still be a political majority for the K22 after the 2013 local elections." In December 2013, the Pinneberger district council decided to invest less money in transport infrastructure projects, instead of subsidizing the construction of a gym in Elmshorn with an extra 700,000 euros , The funds for this were partly taken from the reserves for the construction of the K 22. Thus, the expansion of the district road will be put on hold until 2017.
The Oswald-Dittrich bascule bridge over the Pinnau is considered a traffic bottleneck in the city. During rush hour and when the A 23 in the direction of Hamburg is blocked or blocked (in the morning), traffic builds up on federal highway 431 (An der Klosterkoppel) to the junction of Großer Wulfhagen / Röpkes Mühle / Kleiner Sand. Added to this is the traffic coming from the east of the city of Tornesch via Tornescher Weg / Ossenpadd / Bahnstraße. In the opposite direction, mostly in the evening, traffic backs up on federal road 431 to Heist and coming from Appen on state road 106 to Moorrege-Oberglinde. Further traffic obstructions arise when the bascule bridge is open; there are also long backlogs in both directions.
The main accident areas in the city are at the intersection of Tornescher Weg / Ossenpadd /lesenkampstrasse (K 20) and the intersection along the federal highway 431, An der Klosterkoppel / Bahnstrasse / Pinnauallee / Großer Sand and at the intersection of Kleiner Sand / Jahnstrasse / Schanzenstrasse. Around 100 accidents with property damage and personal injury occurred in 2010 (110) and 2011 (93).
In the city center, road traffic is directed via the B 431, which runs through the old town. Here, too, attempts should be made to relieve the inner and old town by relocating the B 431. The average traffic density in Uetersen is 495 cars per 1000 inhabitants.
The largest free space in the city center is the market square, which is used as a parking lot, but also as a market and event space. In addition to the parking pallet , additional parking spaces are available. Parking in Uetersen is generally free of charge.
Traffic forecast 2025
Based on the forecast, a general increase in traffic volume is expected by 2025. The traffic censuses from 1985 and 2005, which were carried out in accordance with the manual for the dimensioning of road traffic systems , are used as a guide . An increase in motor vehicle traffic by 10 percent and for heavy goods traffic by 25 percent is to be expected.
Rail transport
Due to protests by local carters, Uetersen was not given a train station when the Altona-Kiel railway was built in the 19th century. The city still suffers from this poor transport connection. The train station built in the neighboring town of Tornesch led to the prosperity of the neighboring town. To compensate for this disadvantage, the Uetersener Eisenbahn was opened in 1873 as a connection between the southern part of the city and the Tornescher Bahnhof. Passenger traffic was stopped in 1965, freight traffic is still in operation today. The only six kilometers long railway line had the largest volume of traffic in the district; In 1941 alone, this train route carried over a million passengers and around 80,000 tons of freight.
Bus transport
Uetersen is connected to the cities of Elmshorn, Tornesch, Pinneberg and Wedel via several bus lines operated by the local roundabout company in Pinneberg (KViP) within the Hamburg Transport Association (HVV). The bus routes also run via Groß Nordende, Neuendeich, Heidgraben and Haseldorf. There are also dial-a-bus routes and school bus services .

shipping
There is evidence that Pinnau has operated shipping from various locations in Uetersen since the 12th century . So there was initially a landing stage near today's monastery, where grain and mill products were shipped. In the course of time, other larger landing stages and a harbor were added along the Pinnau, and the landing stage at the monastery lost its importance. These were the transfer points for grain, lime, peat, mussels, which were needed for lime burning, and brickwork products that were sold by water.
Today the city has two ports located on the Pinnau , the water sports port Klosterdeich on the outskirts and the large port in the center, in which there is also a water sports port . Only the 240-meter-long quay walls have remained of the port of call, which was once an important trading hub, due to the relocation of goods transport to trucks and the siltation. The port of call used to be of great importance. While 35,600 tons of goods were handled in 1953, the number of tonnages of goods handled rose from year to year. No other inland port in Schleswig-Holstein recorded such a large volume of goods handled as the Uetersen port. In 1971 around two thousand ships docked in the port and moved over 300,000 tons of cargo.
After a long period of neglect, the port was dredged in 2005 and made navigable again. It was the end of 2008 mainly for loading large ship winches , boiler systems used and other custom that is not as heavy loads could be moved on the roads. Since the port was silted up again, it has lost its economic importance again, and another silting up is still pending due to disagreements with regard to the costs incurred. The citizens' initiative Hafen-Stadt tried to revive the fallow land. In 2009 the council decided to demolish the 60 meter high Raiffeisen silo in order to develop a 4000 square meter commercial area. The demolition work continued until August 2011. The costs for the demolition and disposal of building rubble and other residual waste were estimated at around 700,000 euros, with the state of Schleswig-Holstein contributing 336,000 euros to the demolition costs. In 2012 the Nordmark-Werke acquired the site.
air traffic
The nearest international airport is in Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel , around 30 kilometers away, and can be reached by car in 30 to 60 minutes (depending on traffic density) from Uetersen.
The national airfield Uetersen is located at the gates of the city in the area of the municipality of Heist (and in the northeast a small part of the municipality of Appen), it is one of the busiest airfields in Germany with 60,000 take-offs and landings per year. From here, Air Hamburg starts its so-called island flights. The North Sea islands of Sylt , Föhr and Juist as well as the Baltic Sea islands of Rügen and Usedom are served directly from there. It borders directly on the Marseille barracks, with the Air Force NCO school . The Uetersen Air Force Museum , which was moved to Berlin-Gatow in 1995 , was also located here. The operator is Flugplatz Uetersen GmbH , which was founded in 1973 and has been operating the former air base (without the barracks) since then. The former ICAO code was EDNU, this was for Europe / Germany / North / Uetersen, now called the airfield EDHE (= Europe / Germany / Hamburg / Uetersen).

Honors
_02.jpg)
Through its commitment to the rose, the city was founded in 1992 by the Verein Deutscher Rosenfreunde e. V. named "Rose City of the VDR". In addition, several rose varieties were introduced that honored the city and deserving personalities. In 1919, the City Councilor Meyn rose variety was dedicated to the rose pioneer Ernst Ladewig Meyn from Uetersen. He developed a new method for rose propagation in order to produce roses of constant quality at low cost. Other rose varieties followed such as Heros for the 700th anniversary of the city and the climbing rose Ritter von Barmstede (1959) in honor of the knight Heinrich II von Barmstede, who founded the monastery of Uetersen. In 2006 the rose variety Uetersener Klosterrose was christened, its name honors the Cistercians , the co-founders of the Uetersener Klosterrose . For the 775th anniversary (2009) the shrub roses Uetersen's Rose Queen and Uetersen's Rose Princess were introduced. Countess Augusta Louise zu Stolberg-Stolberg, who lived in the Uetersen monastery, was also honored with the hybrid tea rose Augusta Luise in 1999. She became known through her lively correspondence with the poet and thinker Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and went down in literary history as Goethe's Gustchen .
In addition to honorary citizenship, the city itself awards other honors and awards, and since 1997 the rose needle has been awarded every year during a ceremony to deserving Uetersen personalities who have made voluntary contributions to the city. So far this has been awarded 15 times.
On August 26, 2011, a Canadair regional jet of the type CRJ900 (Next Generation D-ACNU ) of the “Schleswig-Holstein Fleet” from Eurowings was named “Uetersen” at Hamburg Airport . The jet is one of Lufthansa’s 12 “flying ambassadors” from Schleswig-Holstein and flies Europe-wide to the cities of Basel , Bilbao , Birmingham , Budapest , Gothenburg , Manchester , Madrid , Milan , Naples , Prague , Stockholm, Warsaw, Vienna and Zurich . The godmother was Uetersen Mayor Andrea Hansen.
On the fourth day of Advent (December 22, 2013), the city was given the title “Choir City of the North” by Prime Minister Torsten Albig due to the highest choir density in Schleswig-Holstein .
