About this picture

Bad Segeberg ( Low German : Sebarg ) is a small German town in the state of Schleswig-Holstein . It is the capital of the Segeberg district .

geography

Geographical location

The central settlement area of ​​Bad Segeberg has developed on the southwestern bank of the Great Segeberger See . The municipal area extends in the west and northwest to the Trave, which comes from the east and swings in to the south. The landscape of the area is counted as part of the large Schleswig-Holstein hill country , which merges a few kilometers to the west into the landscape of the Holstein Geest . In the north of the district there is the Ihlsee with the also named adjacent forest area, which together make up the Ihlsee and Ihlwald nature reserve .

Outline of the urban area

Klein Niendorf and Christiansfelde are in the urban area.

geology

The area around Bad Segeberg has something special in terms of geological history. This is the only karst area in Schleswig-Holstein, as indicated by sinkholes in the vicinity of the city. In the past there were sinkholes in the urban area, but today they are mostly filled and therefore no longer visible. The only exception is the Kleine Segeberger See , which is a water-filled sinkhole at the foot of the 86.7 meter high Segeberger Kalkberg . With its Kalkberg cave, discovered in 1912, it is the most outstanding geological feature of the Segeberg Karst area. It is an important quarter for bats and home to the Segeberger cave beetle ( Choleva septentrionis holsatica ), which only occurs here . To the west of the city in the area between the places Wahlstedt and Hartenholm lies, already in the landscape area of ​​the Geest, the Segeberger forest named after the city .

history

Arx Segeberga, quondam Aelberga, Wagriam, nobilem Holsatiae Regionem, exornat. - From the Civitates orbis terrarum von Braun and Hogenberg, Cologne 1588

Beginnings

Bad Segeberg owes its existence to a gypsum rock, the so-called Kalkberg , which not only challenged the fortification in the borderland between Saxony and Slavs in the age of castle building . Knud Lavard recognized the importance of the mountain, which was around 120 meters high at the time, and around 1128 put "mansiunculas" (accommodation) on it with the intention of building a castle there. However, this first medieval mountain garrison was removed again in 1130 by order of Adolf I von Schauenburg and Holstein , who feared for power and influence. The monk and missionary of the Wagrians and Abotrites , Vizelin , made Emperor Lothar aware of the strategic importance of the Kalkberg, whereupon he had a first castle built on it in 1134, which was named Siegesburg (hence Segeberg ). A first church and early monastery complexes were built not far from the mountain. But when Emperor Lothar died a few years later, "Pribislaw von Lübeck used the opportunity, gathered a band of robbers and thoroughly destroyed the castle town of Segeberg and all the surrounding places where Saxons lived" ( Helmold von Bosau ). It was not until 1143 that the castle was restored by Adolf II . Vizelin moved the monastery , which had evaded to Neumünster / Faldera, to Högersdorf , Slavic Cuzalina, and devoted himself more to missionary work. Since 1152, south of the city, near Gieschenhagen, there was evidence of a medieval hospital for lepers , which was called St. Jürgenshof.

In the 1230s Segeberg received Lübeck town charter .

Expansion of Segeberg since the 15th century

From Gerhard II. And Gerhard III. the fortifications on the Kalkberg, which came into the possession of Christian I of Denmark in 1459 , were expanded. Segeberg was the seat of the royal Danish bailiff for a long time . The best known of them was Heinrich Rantzau in the 16th century under Frederick II of Denmark . Under Heinrich Rantzau, the city, which was almost completely destroyed by the Lübeck general Marx Meyer during the feud of the counts in 1534, was rebuilt. In the heyday of the second half of the 16th century, several important buildings were built in Segeberg, for example the Rantzau Palace, the Segeberg Pyramid (of which only remains in the Rantzau Chapel have been preserved), and an obelisk (from the lower half is preserved). A rebuilt town house from 1541 was the only one to survive all subsequent stormy times. Today it houses the city museum . All the important buildings are depicted on the well-known city view of the early modern period by Braun and Hogenberg , also commissioned by Heinrich Rantzau .

The castle was destroyed by the Swedes in retaliation at the end of the Thirty Years War in 1644, and the mountain was then dismantled for the first time from the summit for gypsum extraction. Today only a remnant of the former castle, originally about 84 meters deep, is preserved in the Kalkberg. The city subsequently grew together with the neighboring community of Gieschenhagen. In 1840 the school teacher seminar for Holstein was relocated here from Kiel. In the last third of the 19th century (1875) Segeberg got a rail connection.

Creation of the Solbad Segeberg

Due to the mining of gypsum on the Kalkberg (it was used, among other things, in the construction of the Lübeck Cathedral and the Segeberg Marienkirche), the summit is now only 91 meters, instead of 120  meters above sea level. NN . The rock salt deposit , which was drilled here in 1868 at a depth of 152 meters, and later also in the field marrow of nearby Stipsdorf , could not be dismantled due to water penetrating; however, the brine that ran off was used for the brine bath some time later, with a salt content of around 20 to 25 percent.

When Segeberg was granted the right to call itself a bath in 1924 , it was already past its prime . In 1884 the merchant Heinrich Wickel , who had become wealthy in Helsinki , invited to Soolbäder in his house at Oldesloer Strasse 20 and thus triggered a typical start-up frenzy , which in 1885 led to the construction of a pompous spa house (architects: Vermehren und Dohrn from Hamburg) on ​​the steep bank of the Great Segeberger Sees led to the construction of 14 streets in this area and the neighboring community in the north, Klein Niendorf, which was incorporated in 1937. The Kurhaus and park were located in this area, from where the company “Solbadkomplex” with the “Restaurant Bellevue” started. The bathing inspector was lured away from the neighboring town of Oldesloe , which had been a health resort since 1813 but was only allowed to call itself a bath from 1910 . When the company threatened to sink into the vortex of a fraud scandal, influential Segeberg citizens founded a stock corporation and took it to calmer waters. Among the spa guests in 1885 and 1886 was Martha Bernays from Wandsbek , bride of the later world-famous founder of psychoanalysis , Sigmund Freud .

The Segeberger Kurhaus 1960

In 1913, a bathing guide for Schleswig-Holstein and Lauenburg , article Sol- und Moorbad Segeberg reads : “The actual brine bath is beautifully situated. The facility consists of the bathhouse, the spa hotel and the lodging house. All buildings are connected to one another by completely closed walkways and form a monumental structure of outstanding beauty. Directly on the lake, on a 20-meter-high terrace, the sight of the illuminated spa building has an almost fairy-like effect. ”During the First World War , the spa business largely collapsed and did not recover in the crisis that followed. In 1932 the ailing stock corporation was taken over by the municipal Solbad GmbH, which of course could not prevent the Kurhaus from being demolished in 1968 as no longer economically viable; its debris was dumped in an acid meadow on the Great Segeberger See. The former Kurhaus has been replaced by high-rise restaurants and clinics.

time of the nationalsocialism

The pit created by the gypsum mining on Kalkberg was expanded from 1934 to 1937 by the National Socialist Labor Service according to plans by the government master builder Fritz Schaller , from 1935 by the Reich Labor Service to the Nordmarkfeierstätte and used for National Socialist propaganda celebrations until 1945 (see Thingplatz (Thingbewegung) ). In today's Kalkbergstadion , the Karl May Games , local events and open-air concerts have taken place every year since 1952 .

During the Second World War , Bad Segeberg was spared from Allied air raids , despite a naval arsenal in the nearby Segeberger Heide , which was not discovered by the Allies until the end of the war.

During the Battle of Berlin , immediately after Hitler's last birthday , on April 20, 1945, prepared evacuation measures were carried out by the Reich government, Reich ministries and the security apparatus. All Reich ministers were supposed to gather in Eutin , thirty kilometers northeast of Bad Segeberg , as the Eutin- Plön area was still free of combat at that time. At the end of April 1945, Reich Finance Minister Johann Ludwig Graf Schwerin von Krosigk had his residence with District Administrator Mohl in Bad Segeberg. From there, he drove daily in his Maybach limousine via federal highway 432 to Eutin and Plön in order to take part in talks with the remaining Reich government . On May 2nd, SS-Reichsführer Heinrich Himmler and Reichsminister Albert Speer met in a wooded area between Bad Segeberg and Bad Bramstedt . After this meeting, Himmler was driven to Bad Bramstedt via the 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 . Von Krosigk also left his residence with District Administrator Mohl and fled to the Mürwik special area . On May 2, Dönitz also 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 combat commander of Hamburg, Alwin Wolz, accompanied the German delegation, led by Hans Georg von Friedeburg , to the British headquarters near Lüneburg . In the Villa Möllering Wolz immediately signed the conditions for the handover of the city of Hamburg. On the afternoon of May 3, 1945, the British soldiers marched into Hamburg. On the same day the soldiers of the eleventh British armored division occupied the city of Bad Segeberg with their over a hundred tanks without a fight. The English commander addressed the population in the market square. He declared that the war in Bad Segeberg was over and that everyone had to follow the instructions of the British so that nothing was to be feared. One day later, on May 4, 1945, Hans-Georg von Friedeburg near Lüneburg signed the surrender of all German troops in north-west Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark on behalf of Dönitz . The Second World War finally ended with the Unconditional Surrender on May 8th . But it was not until May 23, 1945 that the members of the last Reich government with Karl Dönitz and Count Schwerin von Krosigk were arrested by the British in Mürwik. The British soldiers celebrated the end of the war and the victory in Bad Segeberg in the Kalkberg Stadium.

Bad Segeberg's population had doubled during and after the war due to the influx of numerous refugees . Bad Segeberg tried to distribute the refugees to surrounding villages.

Religions

Christians

The majority of the inhabitants are Evangelical-Lutheran , there are three Evangelical church buildings. In addition, there is a Catholic , a New Apostolic and a Baptist congregation as well as a congregation of God and a congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses .

Jews

In 1730 the first Jews settled in Segeberg. For 200 years they built a small, lively congregation with almost 100 members. In 1792 they founded their cemetery, which was in use until 1936. In the Protestant Cathedral of St. Mary there are two chandeliers donated by the Jew Claus Schnack (1684–1738), whose tombstone still stands in front of the church today. In 1842 the synagogue was consecrated at Lübecker Strasse 2 (defiled in 1938, demolished in 1962).

From 1908 they maintained a children's home, which from 1920 was called Sidonie Werner -Heim (today's Villa Flath ) and a house for girls with speech problems (“Bachmeier Institute”).

Of almost 90 Jewish citizens of Segeberg, at least 55 are known by name who were murdered or driven to their death after 1933. As the only Jew, Jean Labowsky survived the Nazi dictatorship in Segeberg, who was city director from 1946 to 1952. In the summer of 2007 a street was named after him.

Since 2002 there has been a Jewish community again in Bad Segeberg, mainly due to the Jewish immigration from the CIS states . The regional association of the Jewish communities of Schleswig-Holstein ( Kdö.R. ) is also based in Bad Segeberg. On June 24, 2007, Prime Minister Peter Harry Carstensen and State Rabbi Walter Rothschild opened the new Jewish community center "Mishkan HaZafon" (Synagogue of the North).

traffic

In Bad Segeberg, the federal highways 206 and 432 intersect with the federal highway 21 . Immediately north of Segeberg, the B 205 branches off from the A 21 towards Neumünster . The A 20 is to be extended to Bad Segeberg in the next few years. There is a debate about whether the southern part of the B 432 should be shut down and relocated to the current route of the B 206.

There has been a station on the Neumünster – Bad Oldesloe railway line since 1875, and considerations are being made to expand and electrify it again in the medium term. The section to Neumünster was closed from September 29, 1984 to December 15, 2002 for passenger traffic. Since then, the route from Bad Oldesloe to Neumünster has been operated by the nordbahn railway company as regional train RB 82 (formerly R11) (to Rickling in the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund ). The station was relocated a few hundred meters to the north in an industrial area. From 1911 to 1961, this area was the location of the small station of the Kleinbahn Kiel – Segeberg . South of the old station was Segenberger 1916-1964 of Lübeck Kleinbahnhof the Lübeck-Segeberger railway on whose line today, the Federal Highway 206 to the east of the city of Lübeck leads.

Other educational institutions

  • Beekeeping school

The Schleswig-Holstein Beekeeping School in Bad Segeberg is one of the oldest beekeeping schools in Germany. It was built on the initiative of Detlef Breiholz from the Schleswig-Holstein Beekeeping Association in Preetz and inaugurated in 1908. The first head of the school was beekeeper H. Witt from Havetoft. At that time, the association saw the need to retrain beekeepers to obtain buckwheat honey instead of heather honey as an urgent task . The introduction of box and magazine beekeeping was also propagated instead of keeping in straw baskets. In 1926 the beekeeping school was recognized as a “state-recognized training and research institute for beekeeping, vocational school for beekeepers”. In 1930 the school was moved to Bad Segeberg and taken over by the Chamber of Agriculture. Here it is still today, albeit in a different place and in a smaller form. The sponsor is again the State Association of Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg Beekeepers.

Attractions

The list of cultural monuments in Bad Segeberg includes the cultural monuments entered in the list of monuments of Schleswig-Holstein.

Kalkberg

As early as 1884, with the start of the spa operation, a beautification association tried to preserve the remaining limestone mountain , which it then planted, equipped with paths and benches and equipped with a telescope on the summit. As the importance of the summit as a popular vantage point for growing tourism became apparent, gypsum mining was limited. In 1903, as a replacement for an original refuge, the association built the first gastronomy, the "Bergschlösschen" on the mountain, which after the Second World War was given its shape that has largely been preserved today. With the discovery of the Kalkberg Cave in 1912 and the establishment of the open-air theater from 1934 to 1937, the Kalkberg itself gained further importance as a tourist attraction. Most recently, in 1955, an access to the edge of the approximately 43-meter-deep castle well was built from the summit path, which allows a view into the initially illuminated well shaft. Still a popular vantage point, the view from the summit stretches far into the country and, with good visibility, as far as the church towers of Lübeck .

Kalkberg Cave

The Kalkberg Cave is the northernmost show cave and the northernmost karst cave in Germany. It was discovered in 1913. Guided tours take place here on the previously 600 meter long, now shortened to 300 meter route for safety reasons. The cave is visited by many asthmatics because it has a humidity of almost 100 percent. In addition, there is a species of animal found only here in the Kalkberg cave, the Segeberger cave beetle .

Noctalis - world of bats

On four floors and over 560 square meters of exhibition space, you can learn a lot about bats at Noctalis . On the upper floor there is a noctarium in which over 100 short-tailed leaf noses live.

Water tower

The 40 meter high water tower towering near the Kalkberg was built at the beginning of the 20th century. Today it is no longer in its original function. An architect used the water tower as a private residence after he installed an elevator. The water tower has been a hotel since August 2020.

Museum Alt-Segeberger Bürgerhaus

The oldest house in Bad Segeberg is located on Lübecker Straße in Segeberg's old town, right next to the town hall. After the fire of 1534, the community center was already in 1541 as a hall house in half-timbered style emerged and was rebuilt in the following centuries several times and expanded. Since its thorough renovation in 1963/64, it served as the “Heimatmuseum” of the city of Bad Segeberg until 2011. When the Bad Segeberg adult education center took over the sponsorship in the following year, the now “museum” shows two newly designed permanent exhibitions in its historic rooms on the development of bourgeois living culture since the early modern period and on the 800-year history of Segeberg.

Old Town Hall

Next to the new town hall on Lübecker Straße is the old town hall, a graceful building from the Biedermeier period when Segeberg was united with Gieschenhagen. Theodor Storm went over the steps when he wooed his cousin Constanze, the daughter of the then mayor Johann Philipp Esmarch, who became his wife here in the town hall in 1846.

Marienkirche

In the city center stands the Marienkirche, a three-aisled brick basilica in Romanesque style - similar to the younger cathedrals in Lübeck and Ratzeburg .

Rantzau Chapel

Heinrich Rantzau built the Segeberg pyramid on a hill on Hamburger Strasse in 1588 in memory of King Frederik II of Denmark . Since he had it built from the mineral of the lime mountain ( anhydrite ), which changes volume and crystal structure under the influence of water, it fell into disrepair, as did the neighboring Rantzau obelisk . The remains were built over with today's chapel in 1770. The original memorial plaque from the 16th century can still be seen in it, a Latin monument to the friendship between a German and a Dane from an epoch that was blessed for Schleswig-Holstein and which was not least owed to Danish rule ( pax danica ).

Church of Reconciliation

The Church of Reconciliation can be found on Falkenburger Strasse in the southern part of the city. This building was inaugurated in 1964 and is used today as a parish church and as a youth church for the Segeberg parish. As such, it is an event church.

  • Marienkirche

  • Marienkirche from the pedestrian zone

  • Design of the Rantzau Chapel from 1584

  • Commemorative plaque for Frederik II in today's Rantzau Chapel, placed by Heinrich Rantzau in 1588.

Dahlmann School

Opposite the Marienkirche on the market is the former teacher training college of Holstein (1839-1925), since 1927 grammar school with the name Dahlmannschule, named after Friedrich Christoph Dahlmann . With the side wings for the caretaker's and director's apartment, a building with classicist symmetry, slightly elevated after a fire in 1915. The Dahlmann School is attended by around 800 students today. About 60 teachers teach there. Here lay Malte Hossenfelder , Reinhard Brandt , Günter Willumeit and Maria Jepsen from a high school.

National tournament area grandstand

National tournament site

The first horse racing day took place in the racing paddock on Eutiner Strasse in 1905. The area was expanded in the following years as a tournament area with two dressage areas and a warm-up area as well as a grandstand, a press and a judge tower. Since 1929 the racing paddock has been owned by the city of Bad Segeberg. Several large equestrian events take place here every year, such as the Equestrian Festival , the German Quadrille Championship , the Federal Equestrian Festival with over 1000 active participants and the Schleswig-Holstein State Horse Show with the German Championship of Drivers and the Schleswig-Holstein / Hamburg Championship in Dressage and jumping . In 1975 the European Championship of Rural Riders was held at the same time as this national tournament.

Every year from 1962 to 2007 the public vow of the Holstein Grenadiers took place on the national tournament ground . They were stationed in Bad Segeberg until the disbandment of the Panzer Grenadier Battalion 182 on December 31, 2008.

Hiking trails

The nature park path , which connects the five nature parks in Schleswig-Holstein for hikers, runs through the city . In the north, still in the urban area, there is the Natura 2000 nature reserve Ihlsee and Ihlwald .

Well statue by Bossanyi

Various monuments

The Otto Flath art gallery is located at 5 Bismarckallee . The same and two other houses on Bismarckallee formed the Sidonie-Werner-Heim until 1939 , an institution for needy Jewish children, named after the Hamburg social politician Sidonie Werner .

At the junction of Kurhausstrasse and Große-See-Strasse there is a fountain with the graceful figure of a half-kneeling woman, created in 1928 by the Hungarian sculptor and glass painter Ervin Bossányi , who fled National Socialism to England, where he worked for Canterbury Cathedral, among other things impressive stained glass windows. The fountain figure was destroyed by unknown hooligans on the night of January 1, 2013 and has been erected again since 2014 after the restoration by the Lübeck sculptor Josef Farkas.

In front of the youth hostel on Kastanienweg there is a ceramic by Tina Schwichtenberg : “Tipis of the Sioux ”.
