Dahme is a municipality in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein . Dahmerfelde and Gruberhagen are in the municipality.
Geography and history
Dahme is a Baltic Sea spa , which is about 20 km northeast of Neustadt in Holstein and almost 15 km (depending on the beeline ) southeast of Oldenburg in Holstein directly south of the eastern end of the Oldenburger Graben . The place is thus in the Wagrien landscape on the northwestern edge of the Bay of Lübeck between Grube and Kellenhusen . Federal highway 501 runs to the west from Neustadt in the direction of Fehmarn . Dahme was first mentioned in a document in 1299. The memorial stone in the center of Dahme also testifies to this. The name comes from the Slavic "dabje" (oak grove).
coat of arms
Blazon : "The red, older and the red-silver-red, younger lighthouse of the community growing in gold over blue-silver waves."
Contrary to the information in the blazon, the smaller tower is not a lighthouse, but the naval observation tower, which was built in 1939.

politics
Community representation
After 70 years of CDU majority in the municipal council, the DWG was able to win just under an absolute majority in the 2018 local elections.
administration
From 1889 to 2006, Dahme was part of the Grube office . Since then, Dahme and the communities of Grube and Kellenhusen (Baltic Sea) have formed an administrative partnership with the community of Grömitz , which manages the administrative business for the three communities.
Partner municipality
Dahme has been on friendly terms with Nysted in Denmark since August 1972 . The paving of Nystedplatz at the Dahme pier is oriented towards the Danish partner community.
economy
With more than 60,000 bathers and 800,000 overnight stays per year, tourism is the most important source of income for the community, which has a sandy beach several kilometers long that can be easily reached via a promenade.
Attractions
The "Wittenwiewerbarg" (Weisse-Weiber-Berg) is the remainder of a tower hill castle (Motte) from the 13th and 14th centuries. It was surrounded by a moat and a wall. Today only a small hill can be seen. The Wittenwiewerbarg has been a listed building since 1974.
The "Little Swede" is a boulder weighing 24 tons on Nysted Square. It was transported here from central Sweden during the last Ice Age and is a reminder of the history of Dahmes.
Dahmeshöved lighthouse
The lighthouse Dahmeshöved was built in 1878/79 on a Höved (nddt. For hill ) and is used for shipping in the Lübeck and Mecklenburg Bay . The listed lighthouse can be visited and is also used as a registry office.
Listening station
From 1962 to 1976, the former US American intelligence unit, the Naval Security Group , operated a listening station on the large Uferkoppel ( location of a 2 cm anti-aircraft gun during World War II ), diagonally across from the lighthouse. This was commanded from Todendorf and was previously located on Fehmarn . Among other things, the military training area on the Wustrow peninsula , which at that time was on the territory of the GDR, was monitored with a mobile device .
Youth hostel and former telecommunications office of the German Navy
The Dahme Youth Hostel on the Ostholstein Baltic Sea coast is a youth hostel of the German Youth Hostel Association, which was completed in 2006 and opened on July 6, 2006 . It is one of the youngest youth hostels of the Landesverband Nordmark e. V. The youth hostel is located at Dahmeshöved 1 on the road to the Dahmeshöved lighthouse , which marks the entrance to the Bay of Lübeck . It is thus in a row with several villas and the mother-child home south of the actual town center of Dahmes. The area of the youth hostel borders directly on the steep coast to the Baltic Sea beach, which can be reached via a large, wooden staircase.
Where the youth hostel is today, the buildings of a naval telecommunications station of the German Armed Forces were located until 2004 (during the Second World War there was a naval radio measuring system, FuMO 3, a so-called Calais destroyer column). The naval telecommunications group 53 was put into operation in Dahmeshöved at the end of 1963. After the dissolution of naval telecommunications section 5 in 1967, it was subordinated to naval telecommunications section 1. The Baltic Sea was guarded here with a mobile radar device. Naval Telecommunications Group 53 was disbanded in late September 1991.
After the area was given up by the German Navy , the area lay fallow for some time and, according to the mayor of Dahme, should be used for a charitable purpose. The former location of the radar antennas, an elevated asphalt surface, is now used for ball games.
Glass pictures of St. Stephen's Church
The windows, made in the 1970s by the glass painter Theo M. Landmann from Osnabrück, are a valuable part of St. Stephen's Church and reflect the work of Christ on the Sea of Galilee.
Impressions and details of the stained glass windows in St. Stephen's Church in Dahme can be found in Landmann's comprehensive catalog raisonné. The windows of the church are listed as catalog raisonné numbers 340, 341, 342 and 343.
In 2016, the leaded glass windows underwent a comprehensive renovation that was funded by the Bonifatiuswerk .
