The Bürgerhaus am Wildhof is a listed building from 1927 in Alt-Bordesholm . Originally it was the main building of a printing house. Since 1977 it has been used by associations and regional non-profit institutions. The administration is carried out by a foundation under civil law .

printing house

On September 1, 1883, the printing company HH Nölke was founded at Wildhofstraße 23/25. Longstanding owner was (Adolph Peter) Hinrich Nölke (1938–1946). On April 1, 1911, he sold his company to the National Association for Inner Mission in Rickling. The operations manager of the printing house was the master book printer Hermann Weber, who set up his own business in October 1913. His successor in this position was Karl Liedl for over 20 years. From 1919 to 1922, the publishing director was the local writer, journalist and trained book printer Ferdinand Zacchi . His own novels and treatises were also printed and published by Nölke. A large number of books and writings appeared in the Nordisches Heimatverlag belonging to the printing company , many of which were shaped by a German-Völkisch folk ideology. The authors included Hans Ehrke , Eduard Edert , Harboe Kardel and Johann Hinrich Fehrs . In addition, there were many church print jobs and official gazettes. The writings that appeared regularly included u. a. the official Kreisblatt for the Bordesholm district (until 1932), the Schl.-Holst. Volksbote, the community friend magazine, the Schleswig-Holstein Sunday messenger, the Flugschar and Chisel magazine, field post letters and community papers for 180 ev. Communities and the Niederdeutsche Rundschau.

In 1927, the elongated 2-storey building with a surrounding window front and a loading ramp was built. There is an apartment on the top floor (currently for the caretaker family). The house has no stairs, but sloping corridors. Here the heavy printing forms as well as the paper and the printed editions could be transported between the different floors without any problems. The company had modern machinery as well as the manual and machine typesetting ( Linotype ) departments and a bookbinding shop . In addition to today's community center, there were other buildings on the Wildhof site as workshops and houses. Until the 1950s, the entire complex was roughly five times the size of what is now the house. At times, up to 70 specialists and assistants in the graphic arts worked in the company. The Nölke printing house was closed at the beginning of World War II in 1939 and the publishing house relocated to Hamburg .

Other uses between 1939 and 1970

From 1939 the surgical station of the naval hospital of the Kriegsmarine was located here (which was also active at other locations in Bordesholm). There were precautionary facilities for the treatment of poisoning with poison gas. For this, the septic tanks were equipped with special inserts and filters. The first chief physician (with the title of "fleet physician") was the naval staff physician Prof. Dr. Paul Weischer, later followed by Dr. Franz Krämer (until October 1944) and Dr. Werner Voigt. Flensburg deaconesses were employed as nurses .

On November 15, 1945, the naval hospital was converted into an auxiliary hospital for the city of Kiel . The eye clinic in Kiel, which had been bombed out, was located in the building until January 31, 1949. (In addition, the clinic in Bordesholm also used rooms in the district court and in the monastery monastery until 1949. )

From 1950 to 1959 the secondary school lessons of the later Hans Brüggemann School took place here.

In the 1960s, Möbel Rathje (or Möbelhof Müller ) used the building as a furniture store and shop.

Bürgerhaus am Wildhof

From the mid-1970s, the property was owned by the Bordesholmer Sparkasse . This left it in 1977 for public use rent-free to the Ev. Parish as sponsor and host. At the same time, the municipality of Bordesholm has secured a general right of joint use through an agreement with the parish and the savings bank and has agreed to pay half of the annual subsidy requirement for building management in return. The other half was paid by the Sparkasse (in addition to providing the building). In the following years, the community center developed into a meeting point for a wide range of activities: meetings of associations and church groups as well as private celebrations took place there.

On December 31, 1983, the parish terminated the contract of sponsorship. An offer by the Sparkasse to give the building to the community free of charge for social purposes was rejected by the community. It was decided to run the house in the form of a foundation. In 1984 the Bordesholmer Sparkasse donated the house and property to the non-profit foundation Bürgerhaus am Wildhof . The property is therefore owned by the foundation. After extensive renovation work, the community center is used for events by groups, families and associations as well as a kindergarten and a leisure group for the disabled.
