history

Stone Roland in Bad Bramstedt (since 1693)

Beginnings

The place is said to have originated in the 3rd to 6th centuries. Its name indicates a "place of the gorse". But it was not until 1274 that the small village was first mentioned in a document. In 1533 a wooden Roland was first mentioned for Bramstedt. In 1681 the local health fountain was discovered. Today's stone Roland von Bramstedt was erected in 1693, and in 1813/14 he fell from the base. The statue was renovated and re-erected in 1827. The town's brine spring has been marketed by the Heesch bathing company since 1879.

In 1910 Bramstedt received city rights and the addition of " Bad " to the name . The renaming is said to have come about in order to avoid confusion with Barmstedt , which is located sixteen kilometers to the south-west , in particular with regard to postage. A year later a second brine bath was built. In 1919 the Jewish merchant Oskar Alexander leased the spa. The New Kurhaus was built in 1929/30, the tenant and director of which was also Oskar Alexander.

time of the nationalsocialism

In 1942 Oskar Alexander died in the Oranienburg concentration camp .

At the end of the war, prisoners from the Fuhlsbüttel concentration camp were sent on death marches to the Nordmark labor education camp near Kiel . Kiel was further away from the front line and a number of Hamburg concentration camp prisoners were hidden from the approaching Allies in this way by the Nazis. The day-long marches, which many of the Hafltinge concentration camps did not survive, led via Bundesstraße 4 , which at that time still ran as Reichstraße 4 all the way to Kiel. On April 13, 1945, the concentration camp inmate Hamid Chamido from the Soviet Union was shot by an SS man near the Mergelkuhlen at Reichsstrasse 4 near Bissenmoor. The deceased was buried on the same day in the Bad Bramstedter cemetery. "Shot while trying to escape" was noted on the death certificate. In 2017, a plaque in memory of the concentration camp prisoners was unveiled at the former marl pits, which are now used as fishing ponds.

During the Battle of Berlin , immediately after Hitler's last birthday on April 20, 1945, the evacuation measures prepared by the Reich government and the security apparatus were carried out. All Reich ministers were supposed to gather in Eutin , fifty kilometers northeast of Bad Bramstedt , since the Eutin- Plön area was still free of combat at that time. On May 2nd, SS-Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler and Reichsminister Albert Speer met in a wooded area between Bad Segeberg and Bad Bramstedt . Following this meeting, Himmler had himself driven to Bad Bramstedt via federal highway 206 , where he was informed about the military situation by Wehrmacht officers. On the same day, Hitler's successor Karl Dönitz fled to Flensburg - Mürwik with the last Reich government and gave the order to withdraw the troops from Hamburg. General Blumentritt agreed with the British on a line of retreat forty kilometers northwest of Hamburg. On May 3, 1945, the Hamburg combat commander Alwin Wolz accompanied the German delegation, led by Hans Georg von Friedeburg , to the British headquarters near Lüneburg . There he signed the conditions for the handover of Hamburg. On the afternoon of May 3, 1945, the British soldiers marched into Hamburg and the adjacent areas. On May 4, 1945, Hans-Georg von Friedeburg near Lüneburg signed the surrender of all German troops in northwest Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark on behalf of Dönitz . The Second World War finally ended with the unconditional surrender on May 8th . However, it was not until June 12, 1945 that the members of the last Reich government were arrested by the British in the Mürwik special area , after they had been declared deposed by the Allied Control Council on June 9, 1945.

After the Second World War

In 1965 the statue of Roland was restored in Itzehoe . The Bramstedter castle was taken over 1964-69 from the city. In 1998 the municipal utilities of the place were founded.
