About this picture
”Barmstede” 1645 in the Atlas Maior von Blaeu

Barmstedt ( Low German Barmsteed ) is a small town in the south of Schleswig-Holstein in Germany . The city is located about 30 km north of Hamburg . Barmstedt has about 10,000 inhabitants, making it the smallest town in the Pinneberg district . The place is also known as a shoemaker's town. Barmstedt has been a state-approved resort since August 2011 . The city of Barmstedt has no other districts apart from the core city.

geography

The river Krückau flows through Barmstedt and flows into the Elbe . Barmstedt is located on the artificially created Rantzauer See , which is fed by the Krückau.

history

Numerous finds from the Stone , Bronze and Iron Ages attest to a strong settlement of the place and the surrounding area already in the distant past. The city is located at a junction of the historic ox path . There was possibly a church here as early as 936, but the parish of Barmstedt was first mentioned in a document in 1140. The core of the settlement was located around the church, which is still the center of the small old town.

In the 12th and 13th centuries, the knights of Barmstede determined the fate of the area. After the knight family died out, the parish of Barmstedt was united with the County of Pinneberg and ruled by the Counts of Schauenburg from 1322 . After the Schauenburgs died out, Christian zu Rantzau acquired the former office of Barmstede in 1649. In 1650 he was raised to the rank of count by the emperor and his office in Barmstede, which he acquired in 1649, was raised to the status of "directly owned county of Rantzau ". Emperor Ferdinand III. so had "created" a completely new Immediate rule. The former Danish office of Barmstedt thus became the capital of the new, imperial immediate county, to which Elmshorn and the surrounding villages also belonged. The previous seat of the bailiff was converted into a castle and the Barmstedt Castle Island  - next to Breitenburg and Drage - was used as an occasional residence. The time of the imperial countship came to an end as early as 1726, when, after the murder of the third imperial count Christian Detlev in 1721 in the forest near the castle island, his younger brother, the fourth imperial count of Rantzau Wilhelm Adolf - suspected of being a complicit or complicit partner - arrived in 1726 Danish court was cited (an unlawful Danish measure, since as an imperial count he was only subject to the emperor and the highest imperial courts); There was no judgment: However, the 4th Imperial Count was held in custody until his death in 1734 in Akershus, Norway. Due to an equally illegal secret treaty between the 2nd Count Detlev and the Danish Crown from 1669, which, in the absence of male heirs, provided for the county to "revert" to the Crown (which was not the feudal lord of the Imperial Countess), the Crown of Denmark came into force in 1726 the feudal succession of the (now low-nobility) county; the emperor accepted this injustice. A memorial stone at the traditional crime scene commemorates the murder of the 3rd Reich Count.

Until Schleswig-Holstein was incorporated into the Prussian state in 1867, administrators appointed by the Danish king administered the county of Rantzau, which was preserved within its borders. They were based in the count's residence, which burned down in 1804 and was rebuilt in the simpler style by Christian Frederik Hansen , the Danish master builder. Today's church with the pointed tower, the "Schusterahle", which replaced the medieval St. Margaret's Church, was commissioned by Count Wilhelm Adolf and inaugurated at Pentecost in 1718.

The Rantzau Castle and the museum

In 1736 , Barmstedt received spot privileges , which primarily served to protect the local craft. The rural areas almost all around outside belonged to the Großendorf. On April 1, 1895, the area of ​​Barmstedt and the village of Großendorf merged to form the city ​​of Barmstedt, so that the city could celebrate its 850th anniversary in 1990. From 1936 the sea was excavated by the Reich Labor Service . The time of National Socialism , during which the market square was renamed Adolf-Hitler-Platz , Barmstedt survived without major damage. Only two houses on the market were destroyed by a bomb, although several people died. In the post-war period, the population increased due to the influx of refugees from the eastern regions .

From the 1980s onwards, various traffic control measures were decided and initiated, which led and still lead to great controversy in the city. The traffic-calmed area in the city center was created in 1991.

coat of arms

The "old" coat of arms

Blazon : "Split of silver and red with a nettle leaf-shaped, gespickelten board in confused colors. In front a black windmill, behind a standing, silver armored knight who holds a silver lance in his right hand and puts his left hand on the sword. "

The nettle leaf and the colors red and silver come from the coat of arms of Schleswig-Holstein .

The city arms were approved by Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1913 . The knight in the coat of arms symbolizes the knights of Barmstede , who had their seat in Barmstedt from 1140 to 1300. The mill stands for Barmstedt as a mill location.

The three-tower castle or city ​​wall that crowns the coat of arms symbolizes city law. All of Germany's city coats of arms were supplemented with this addition under Kaiser Wilhelm II, but in this case this old element is also often interpreted as Rantzau Castle. Even if this addition is no longer common in other cities, the city of Barmstedt and its citizens still like to use the coat of arms with the said addition.

Town twinning

Town twinning has existed since 1988 with the Danish town of Middelfart , since 1987 with Oakham in Great Britain and since 1980 with Roissy-en-Brie in France. Roissy-en-Brie has had a town twinning with Colwyn-Bay in Wales since 1986 , so the towns and cities became very close. The five cities of Barmstedt, Roissy-en-Brie, Oakham, Middelfart and Colwyn Bay signed an official document in 1996, the Link of Friendship .

Buildings

The Barmstedter Schlossinsel in the Rantzauer See is known nationwide . Here there is a building ensemble with four structures, which can be traced back to a medieval fortification on the Krückau . In the 12th and 13th centuries, the island was the seat of the Knights of Barmstede. From 1640 the castle was owned by the Dukes of Gottorf and from 1649 to 1726 by the Imperial Counts of Rantzau. A royal Danish administrator resided here until 1864, and the magistrate two years later. Today's Rantzau Castle is a modest classical manor house from 1806, which is now privately owned and cannot be visited. The court clerk's house , also a classical building that was built in 1826, is used today for changing exhibitions and as an office. In the former district court , which was built in 1863, is now the Museum of the County of Rantzau. The castle prison built in 1836 (actually the bailiff's house ), in which two of the historic prison cells have been preserved, is now used for exhibitions and also houses a café.

There is also a working water mill from the 19th century on Rantzauer See.

The church is a baroque hall from 1717 with a large ceiling painting, high altar, baptismal font, pulpit and the so-called count's chair, a glazed and formerly heated box for the princely lords. The organ comes from Johann Hinrich Klapmeyer . The floor plan of the previous building, the so-called Margaret Church, is still marked today by the pillars of the galleries . The core of the former defense tower is still Romanesque with a mighty Gothic helmet. Outside of church services, the church is open to visitors for a few hours on weekends and concerts are occasionally held here.

Also worth seeing is the Humburg House , a half-timbered building from 1783 with a small cottage garden that is used for various cultural events, as well as the old town center around the church.

The former preacher's widow's house is at Reichenstrasse 16 . In what is now the oldest building on Reichenstrasse from 1777, the poet of the Schleswig-Holstein song: Schleswig-Holstein Meerumschlungen , Matthäus Friedrich Chemnitz grew up after the death of his father .
