Location of the municipality Barsbüttel in the Stormarn district

Barsbüttel ( Low German Barsbüddel ) is a municipality in the Stormarn district in Schleswig-Holstein .

geography

The community is located directly on the eastern border of Hamburg in the southern part of the Stormarn district. The Barsbek brook flows through the village and flows into the Schleemer brook shortly after the Hamburg border .

Community structure

The community includes the districts Barsbüttel, Stellau, Stemwarde and Willinghusen.

history

Barsbüttel was first mentioned in a document in 1228 as the Bernekesbutle and is one of the Büttel localities. In 1306 the Holstein village came to the Hamburg Cathedral Chapter . Barsbüttel came to the old Reinbek office in 1609 in exchange for other lands .

After the dissolution of the lordly offices in 1867, Barsbüttel first came to the parish bailiwick district of Reinbek. In 1889 the district of Barsbüttel was established, to which Jenfeld, Öjendorf, Oststeinbek , Stemwarde and Willinghusen also belonged. In 1927 Öjendorf left because it was assigned to the new large community of Billstedt by the Lower Elbe region law . Stellau was added in 1929. The Greater Hamburg Act in 1937 assigned Havighorst to the official area.

In 1948 the area of ​​the previous administrative district became the Barsbüttel office. As part of the municipal reorganization, Barsbüttel became an office-free municipality in 1974.

The landfill 78 was a 11-hectare, approved for construction waste and domestic waste landfill between the main town and the motorway. 168 houses were built on this in 1977. In 1986 it turned out that highly toxic waste from the Hamburg chemical companies Boehringer and Reichhold was also dumped here between 1958 and 1968. Among other things, the Boehringer company produced the highly toxic pesticide lindane . Various gases, particularly methane, and substances such as benzene , phenol , polycyclic aromatics and waste oil were detected in the houses.

For renovation, a gas collection and disposal system was installed on the area between 1994 and 1995 in order to get the gas out of the ground and to keep the houses habitable. Furthermore, the foundations of some houses were sealed with bitumen. These measures enabled the gas concentrations to be reduced to values ​​below the permissible limit values. In the further course of the renovation of the site, the state of Schleswig-Holstein bought the houses for 65 million marks, renovated them and sold them again. More houses were demolished in the following years because the renovation was too expensive. In their place there is now a park. The wells, through which the contaminated groundwater is pumped up for cleaning, and several gas collection stations that continue to collect methane are reminiscent of the landfill.

coat of arms

Blazon : “Four six-spoke silver wagon wheels in red, 2: 2 set. In the silver head of the shield two fallen, diagonally crossed green alder branches, each with a leaf and a male inflorescence. “The alder branches represent the black alder that is predominant in the area . The wagon wheels symbolize the four communities of Barsbüttel, Willinghusen, Stemwarde and Stellau, which were merged in 1973. The wheels stand for the rural past of the place and at the same time the combination of job and mobility. The background to this is the large number of Hamburg residents and displaced persons who moved here after the Second World War and who later frequently commuted to their place of work .

Town twinning

Town partnerships exist with the Baltic Sea Spa Graal-Müritz in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania , Keila (rural community) in Estonia , Guipavas in France and Callington in England .

Culture and sights

Buildings

Villa Lunugala (ex youth farm)

The former Villa Lunugala , which was built in 1907 by Wilhelm Anton "Tonio" Riedemann , is well worth seeing . It is privately owned and has been restored. The name "Lunugala" goes back to a place of the same name on the island of Ceylon . Riedemann spent their honeymoon there with his wife Mary. During the Nazi era, the house was a Gauführerschule .

Regular events

One of the most important events is the annual summer festival of clubs and associations. It always takes place in August, earlier on the meadow next to Villa Lunugala, since 2012 on the grounds of the Erich Kästner Community School.

Furthermore, the voluntary fire brigade Barsbüttel always organizes a large carnival festival 9 days before Rose Monday. There is a children's carnival in the afternoon and the so-called carnival fever in the evening.

Since 2018 there has also been the city festival, which is organized by the Barsbüttel sports club.

Economy and Infrastructure

Companies

The furniture company Höffner has had a branch in Barsbüttel since November 2005. In addition, there are a large number of companies that have come together to form the Barsbüttel Economic Association .

Other large companies are, for example, Lugato as well as Arthur Krüger, Hellbut Verpackungen, Hermann Stitz & Co., Junge Fahrzeugbau and the garden furniture wholesaler Ploß & Co., which in 2005 carried out one of the largest fundraising campaigns for Indonesian tsunami victims in Schleswig-Holstein.

Furthermore, Bauhaus has opened a branch in Barsbüttel. The pharmaceutical company Nycomed (formerly Altana Pharma AG) operated an animal testing laboratory in the Willinghusen district until summer 2014. The company Fagron , supplier of pharmaceutical raw materials, active ingredients and excipients, has for more than 15 years its German headquarters in Barsbüttel.

Directly at the Barsbüttel motorway exit there is a business park with a BMW automotive center for used cars, a branch of Bauhaus and the furniture company Höffner .

education

The community has two primary schools and a community school with an upper level (Erich Kästner community school). There is also a community-owned adult education center founded in 1957 with a range of over 100 courses for further education and leisure activities, as well as a private music school.

traffic

Barsbüttel is connected to the national road network by the federal highways 1 ( Oldenburg in Holstein - Saarbrücken ) and 24 ( Hamburg - Berlin ). A direct motorway connection to the A1 was completed in October 2005 as part of the construction of the north industrial area.

In October 2006, the bypass road around the main town was inaugurated. The plans go back to 1969. The course of the road had to be changed several times because companies were settled on the original route. The bypass road leads around the town in the south, partly parallel to the A 24 (Hamburg - Berlin). Branch roads from the center of the village were added later.

The HVV operates three bus routes in Barsbüttel. Lines 337 and 737 function as school buses , line 263 connects Stapelfeld and the districts of Stellau, Stemwarde, Willinghusen and Barsbüttel via Hamburg-Jenfeld with the Wandsbeker Marktplatz ( Wandsbek Markt underground station ).
