coat of arms

Blazon : “Above a blue shield base, in it a golden sheaf, in gold on the right a green oak, on which a silver stone leans below, on the left a single-towered silver church with red roofs; above two black ears leaning outwards. "

The main statute of the municipality describes an occasionally used version of the coat of arms with a slightly modified shield base.

The heraldic figures represent the Vizelin Church , the Blüchiche and the associated memorial stone, which was erected in 1856 and is intended to commemorate the surrender of Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher in 1806 to the Napoleonic troops.

The coat of arms was chosen by the community after the Second World War in the absence of official seals that are free of Nazi and Imperial symbols and approved by the British Military Government.

  • Elementary school Otto-Preußler-Schule, Pansdorf, Schulkoppel (merging of the elementary schools Techau and Pansdorf 2012, closure of the Techau location in 2018) 161 pupils in 9 classes

traffic

Road traffic

ICE operated by Vogelfluglinie at the Sereetzer Weg level crossing, where a new Ratekau stop was planned for 2012

The localities of the community of Ratekau are connected to one another via a well-developed network of country roads and cycle paths. The connection to long-distance traffic is mainly via the federal motorway 1 .

By the end of the 1960s, the A1 ended on the southern edge of the municipality just before the Blüchichee in Ratekau . Long-distance traffic was then directed further north via federal highway 207 . Since the beginning of the 1970s, the A1 has been continued northwards and has received the three junctions Pansdorf (No. 17), Ratekau (No. 18) and Sereetz (No. 19) in the area of ​​the municipality. In the summer months, the Ratekau departure in particular serves numerous day tourists from Hamburg to reach the Baltic Sea . The federal road 207 was downgraded to the state road at the end of the 1990s.

Rail transport

The area of ​​the community is crossed by the Lübeck – Puttgarden (Vogelfluglinie) and Lübeck – Kiel railway lines . The only train stop in the community is the Pansdorf station, which was reactivated in 2000. A second train station on the northern outskirts of Ratekau has been closed since 1968. At the turn of the millennium there were considerations to reactivate this station as well. Because of its unfavorable location to the place, a new building closer to the residential areas of the village was considered more sensible. The commissioning of the new Ratekau stop was planned for 2012, but was no longer implemented due to the new hinterland expansion to the fixed Fehmarnbelt crossing . Instead, Ratekau will receive a joint regional and IC train station together with Timmendorfer Strand from 2028 , which is to be built immediately south of today's Ratekau motorway exit. The previous railway line that runs through the village is due to be closed at the end of 2021.

Sports

With the SV Sereetz and the TSV Pansdorf , the community provided two clubs that took part in the Northern Football League in the 1990s . In addition to Kiel, Lübeck and Flensburg, Ratekau is one of only four municipalities in the Schleswig-Holstein Football Association that was represented by several clubs in supraregional leagues. In women's football, TSV Ratekau - partly in a syndicate with NTSV Strand 08 - was Schleswig-Holstein football champion four times, but always refrained from being promoted to the regional league.

In addition, the young female handball players of TSV Ratekau 2013/14 belonged to the first season of the newly founded A-Junior Handball Bundesliga .
