The distance to the city of Hamburg in the south and to the city of Kiel in the north is both around 50 kilometers.

history

The oldest known documentary mention of the community comes from the year 1201. Finds from earlier epochs point to an earlier settlement of the place.

Boostedt was an officially free municipality from 1971 to 2007 and with more than 4,500 inhabitants it was the most populous municipality in Schleswig-Holstein.

The landmark of Boostedt was the 50 meter high radar tower that was built from 1972 to 1976 until it was demolished by detonation on January 18, 2005. This reinforced concrete tower had a platform with a diameter of 22 meters. The tower had a footprint of 10 × 10 meters and a diameter of 6.50 meters. After the demolition was successful, a new one for the weather service could be built six years later.

politics

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on July 31, 1969.

Blazon : "In blue between two upright golden beech leaves, a silver oblique left-hand bar, covered with nine individual red bricks, of which the first and the last disappear into the edge of the shield."

The Boostedt coat of arms combines symbols that indicate important historical events and economic developments in the community. Nine bricks occupy the nine brick factories that have been built in the village since 1737. The production of hand-painted bricks was an important economic factor in Boostedt. The sloping bar in the coat of arms indicates the Via Regia . The Via Regia was an important medieval traffic route that led via Rendsburg, Neumünster and Bramstedt to Hamburg and ran not far from the town. As a much-used connection, on the one hand it exerted a positive influence on economic life; on the other hand, during the Thirty Years War , he gave troops passing through twice the opportunity to pillage the place. The path also symbolizes that after 1945 a large number of East German refugees found a new home in the village. The Boostedter Mountains with their abundance of forests and their tourist value as well as the place name are expressed in the golden beech leaves.

The design of the coat of arms was taken over by the Brunsbüttel heraldist Willy "Horsa" Lippert .
