Düsternbrooker Wood (1893)

Düsternbrook is a district of Kiel . Düsternbrook extends on the west bank of the Kiel fjord in Holstein .

history

It is named after the Düsternbrook wood , which originally belonged to the village of Brunswik together with the Düvelsbek forest . In 1771 the entire forest area became fiscal . Because the sovereign was now the owner, there was the name of manorial woods . After the Treaty of Tsarskoye Selo of August 27, 1773, the time of the entire Danish state began , so that the name Royal Enclosure also became common. The site was first upgraded by the fruit tree nursery that Christian Cay Lorenz Hirschfeld founded in 1784 with the support of the Danish treasurer Heinrich Carl von Schimmelmann . At the beginning of the 19th century, the Kiel Castle was connected to the wood by an avenue. The garden pavilion (1807) and the seaside resort (1821/22) were then built according to plans by Axel Bundsen . In 1869 Düsternbrook was incorporated into Kiel.
