history

Surname

The Boize - namesake of the city

The name of the city refers to a former castle on the Boize River . The earliest mention of territorio boyceneburg is found in a document from Heinrich the Lion from 1171, then in a document from 1223 in the terra boyzenburc and in the Ratzeburg tithe register from 1230 in the terra boyceneburch . The name Boitzenborg was first mentioned in 1255 . The compound place name is of German origin. The water body name Boize could be derived from the Low German bõke or boic , i.e. beech, or from the contested river, from the Slavic word boj for fight. Until the middle of the 19th century, the name was written with a t, meaning Boitzenburg.

Boizenburg plans to market the city more successfully from a tourist point of view as the tile city Boizenburg by adding the name “Tile City” . The regional unique selling point of the city with its relationship to tiles should be used: Boizenburg is a production site for tiles, owns the tile museum and has numerous tiles and tile murals in the cityscape.

middle Ages

After the Elbe Germans emigrated , Abodrites settled in the country from the 8th century . A long-distance path ran through the area from the Harz to the Baltic Sea. A Slavic low castle was therefore built in the Prince's Garden in the 9th century .

The last Slavic prince lost control of Polabia around 1139. Heinrich the Lion gave Polabia a hereditary fiefdom in 1142 to Heinrich von Bathide . The Duke of Saxony kept the militarily important Elbe crossing at Gothmann and the Land of Boizenburg. The castle became the customs office for the salt trade between Lüneburg and the Baltic Sea region. A settlement was built to the southeast of the castle, later Altendorf. In 1181 the country was under Bernhard I of Ratzeburg . He built the wooden fortification castrum wotmunde on the Bollenberg .

In 1201 the county fell to the Danes; Boizenburg belonged to the county of Schwerin . In 1208 the rebuilt castle and the castrum wotmunde were destroyed and the land of Boizenburg devastated. The Marienkirche was built during this time, and a merchant colony was established between the church square and the Niederungsburg. In 1241 this merchant colony administered itself. In 1255 the "borgern to Boitzenborg" bought from Count Gunzelin III. a Vorwerk on the Boize. The settlement was granted Lübeck town charter in 1267. In a document from the same year, the first Jews in the city were mentioned, whose story initially ended again with the Sternberg Jewish pogrom in 1492 and their expulsion from all of Mecklenburg. In 1353 Boizenburg came to Mecklenburg and became a state town in Mecklenburg and as such was one of the towns in the Wendish district that were represented in the Mecklenburg state parliaments of the 1523 combined states until 1918 . In 1380 Wismar had a city ​​wall built around Boizenburg. Around 1542 a Lutheran preacher was only allowed to preach in the church yard.

17th to 19th century

In 1627 the high castle and the church were largely destroyed in heavy fighting during the Thirty Years' War . In 1680 a heavy hailstorm destroyed many house roofs. In 1688, Duke Gustav Adolf von Mecklenburg-Güstrow signed a contract to Boizenburg for a troop contribution of 1000 men and 3 companies on horseback for the fight against the Turks in Hungary.

During the great fire of October 15th to 16th, 1709 over 150 houses and the church were destroyed. In 1717, the reconstruction of the church on the remains of the ruins in the baroque style began and in 1712 the baroque half-timbered town hall was rebuilt. The half-timbered houses followed mostly in the 18th century and later the classical plastered buildings.

In 1719 the imperial army moved into Mecklenburg and thus also into Boizenburg. The troops remained in the city as a garrison until 1768. From 1734 to 1763 Boizenburg was the seat of the Hanoverian superintendent of the pledged Mecklenburg offices. In 1793 the Lemmsche boat yard was founded.

In the first half of the 18th century the settlement of Jewish merchants took place. This was rejected by the Boizenburg city council, and complaints from citizens about Jewish merchants are mentioned for 1734. In 1767, the protective Jews were forbidden from peddling in Boizenburg. There is evidence of an independent Jewish community in Boizenburg in the middle of the 19th century.

In the Wars of Liberation in 1813, the Boizenburger Landwehr fought alongside the Tettenborn Cossacks against the French and liberated the city in April of the same year.

The Hamburg - Berliner Chaussee was built between 1827 and 1830 . The federal highway 5 runs in front of and behind Boizenburg on its route , but is led around the city by the bypass completed in 1995 in the northeast.

The first savings bank opened in 1833.

In 1834 Boizenburg had 3,147 inhabitants, of which 43 were Jews. The place was the seat of the Elb-Zollamt, a Dominalamt and a Gendarmerie Brigade . On October 15, 1846, the 222-kilometer section of the Berlin-Boizenburg railway was put into operation .

During the German Revolution of 1848/49, the Boizenburg rector and member of the Frankfurt National Assembly Ludwig Reinhard led the Boizenburg vigilante group. In the time of the Schleswig-Holstein uprising of 1848/1851 numerous troops moved through the place. The first motorboat was built in the Lemmschen shipyard in 1885. In 1890 the Boizenburg city ​​and port railway was commissioned . In 1892 cholera broke out.

Recent history

When the tile factory was founded in 1903, many Catholic workers moved to Boizenburg , mainly from Upper Silesia .

Also in 1903, the mill owner had a generator house built on the Boize to generate electricity. In 1921 the city took over the power station.

In the First World War were 144 citizens from Boizenburg. In 1924 only three Jewish families lived in Boizenburg. In 1931 Eduard Ludwig Alexander (KPD) was elected mayor, but he could not take office due to emergency ordinances . In 1942 the NS-Oberstadtdirektor sent a personal letter to the admission of a boy - as part of the inhuman child euthanasia decree - to the mental hospital in Schwerin .

Since 1933, the Thomsen & Co. shipyard has received many armaments orders. During the Second World War , forced laborers were used in the shipyard . The company Duensing-Bicheroux-Werke (Fliesenwerk Boizenburg) was active as the external command of the Dreibergen-Bützow penal institution , the mostly political prisoners had to produce armaments for Dornier . From September 1944 to April 1945, instead of the Elbberg Eastern Labor Camp , the SS headed the Boizenburg subcamp of the Neuengamme concentration camp , in which around 450 women, mostly Hungarian Jews , were interned. The women had to do forced labor in the Thomsen & Co. shipyard under grueling circumstances . After 1945 the operation was transferred to the Soviet Stock Company (SAG) Elbe-Werft, which delivered fishing ships to the Soviet Union as reparations.

After the division of Germany, Boizenburg became an isolated border town. Those who remained were subject to strong controls by the GDR authorities, which were intensified with the building of the Wall in 1961. Passenger transport on the city and port railways was discontinued in 1967. The bus station was built in 1969.

Until the 1970s, Boizenburg was in the direct restricted area along the course of the inner-German border . A permit was required to enter the five-kilometer exclusion zone. With the expansion of the border security systems, the control point for the border area was moved closer to the border, but the control point in district Vier (KP-Vier), which controlled access to the restricted area, was retained. Trips to Boizenburg were strictly controlled, port and border visits were not permitted. An application for visits from relatives and acquaintances was no longer necessary after the changed course of the restricted area from 1972.

In 1973 the Elbe shipyard began producing inland passenger ships for the Soviet Union . Since then, ships measuring 129 by 17 meters and a draft of 2.90 meters have continued to be built for the USSR. During the GDR era, the shipyard had the highest production output in the entire 200 years of its existence.

With the opening of the last section of the transit autobahn between Hamburg and Berlin, today's Bundesautobahn 24 , on November 20, 1982, through traffic through the city center subsided.

After the political change, the historic town center with the town hall, ramparts and the port area was thoroughly renovated from 1991 , among other things within the framework of urban development funding and the program for urban monument protection . The former border inspection post in the Vier district initially remained unused, but was largely preserved and is now an inn.

In 1995 the bypass road was completed. In 1997 the Elbe shipyard Boizenburg had to close due to bankruptcy. In 2001 the port area was redesigned. In 2002 the flood of the century reached Boizenburg. In June 2013 the city was threatened again by floods , the flood protection measures prevented flooding in the inner city area.

From 1952 to 1994 Boizenburg was in the district of Hagenow (until 1990 in the GDR district of Schwerin , then in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). In 1994 the city was incorporated into the Ludwigslust district. Since the district reform in 2011 , it has been in the Ludwigslust-Parchim district .

View of the old town and port

The city center is surrounded by a ring-shaped medieval rampart. The wall, which was removed in the 18th century, is surrounded by moats on both sides along its entire length. The many small half-timbered houses , which directly border the inner of the two trenches and significantly shape the entire cityscape, are connected to the wall via 45 bridges, which gave the Elbe city the name Little Venice of the North . The so-called Wall pavilion, a small hexagonal baroque building crowned by a bronze morning star , is particularly attractive . It stands directly on the inner moat of the Long Wall and was accessible via a bridge until a few years ago. The old linden trees, which were planted at the end of the 18th century, are also remarkable .

After the city fire of 1709, the city was rebuilt with a checkerboard floor plan, also in terms of fire protection. During this time, the city received its baroque character , which is still preserved today . Some half-timbered houses such as Wallstraße 32, Klingenbergstraße 39, Große Wallstraße 19 (Sparkasse) (18th century), Reichenstraße 1, 15 and 17, Königsstraße 24, Fiefhusen 6 to 8 and in Bollenberg are remarkable and well renovated.

Some of the houses built after the town fire in 1709 have mill symbols and thunder brooms, which were worked into the masonry and are supposed to protect against evil spirits and storms. The mill symbol is also used as a luck symbol that is said to bring prosperity to the homeowner.
