Eiderstede
Eiderstede was a municipality in Schleswig-Holstein that was first mentioned in 1148 . In 1906 it was merged with the then smaller neighboring municipality of Bordesholm, whose name was adopted for the merger. The boundaries of today's Bordesholm municipality largely correspond to these two original municipalities .
First documentary mention
On September 13, 1148, Heinrich the Lion confirmed some possessions in the Holstein Elbmarschen to Neumünster Monastery. One of the witnesses mentioned in the document was the Bode "Alduardus de Eiderstide" (= "Alward von Eiderstede" ). In this document, Eiderstede is on record for the first time.
Before merging with Bordesholm
Before the merger, Eiderstede comprised a village and the associated municipality and was located in the administrative district and parish of Bordesholm. The community was cut through by the Altona-Kieler Chaussee and the railway line from Hamburg to Kiel . In the south was the Dosenmoor , part of which belonged to the community. Here peat was extracted for personal use and for sale. In the west was the Bordesholmer See , formerly Eidersteder See. Between the Chaussee and the Bordesholmer See was the village of Eiderstede, which includes 7 hectares of land. There was also a village school here . According to a topography of the district of Kiel from 1898, there were 544 residents in Eiderstede at that time, 117 households in 84 houses. In addition, trade and industry were already well represented: there were five shops, four taverns, a machine factory, a selter water factory, two slipper factories, a brewery, a dairy, a gardening and a wood processing factory with 40 workers.
In the east, Eiderstede later bordered on Bordesholm, which was not built until 1330 when the monastery was founded. Although the municipality in terms of area is the smallest in the district, Bordesholm traditionally had a claim to leadership as the focus of administration and jurisdiction.
In addition, there were the districts of Eiderstederfeld and Eiderhöhe . The station located in the Eidersted municipality was first called "Bordesholm" and was later renamed " Bordesholm-Bahnhof " . A third town center developed around this station in particular, which quickly outstripped Eiderstede and Bordesholm in economic terms. Many commercial and catering businesses had settled there. In addition, many former Kiel citizens built their villas there. Especially due to the construction boom in this area, the population of the Eidersted municipality increased to 733 by 1906.
Association of Eiderstede and Bordesholm
The children of the new residents attended the Eidersteder village school, which was already overcrowded at this point. When the school situation in Eiderstede deteriorated further, the district administrator , school supervisor, the provost and the teachers turned to the Eiderstede municipal politicians with a request for an extension for a third classroom. However, the community could not afford the costs. At the same time, school operations in Bordesholm ran more cheaply than in Eiderstede, since the school building and property were owned by the parish. On February 11, 1903, the Eidersted municipal council unanimously passed the resolution that a union with the municipality of Bordesholm should be sought. It was not until two years later that Bordesholm decided to start negotiations with Eiderstede.
The legal and financial details of the incorporation contract were then negotiated in commissions. At the district council meeting on November 17, 1905, the opinion of the district committee was also approved by the entire district council. The Prussian provincial authority in Schleswig is then contacted.
For the final approval of the association, the complete documents were sent to the Prussian State Ministry in Berlin in mid-December 1905 . There the decision was made on January 22nd, 1906:
“ His Royal Majesty has rested by the highest decree that the rural communities of Bordesholm and Eiderstede, located in the district of Kiel, will be merged into one rural community with the name of Bordesholm from April 1st of that year. "
This decree is communicated to the public in the official gazette of the Royal Government of Schleswig on March 2, 1906. This was followed by the election of a joint municipal council, which will meet for the first time on April 24th. After March 31, 1906, Eiderstede ceased to exist as a community. At that time Eiderstede had 744 inhabitants on 544 ha compared to Bordesholm with 589 inhabitants on 279 ha.
present
The original municipality name can only be found today in the street names "Eiderstede" and "Eidersteder Straße" . Both streets are in the area of the former village of Eiderstede, traditionally this part of Bordesholm is still called "Eiderstede" . The rural origins of Eiderstede / Bordesholm can only be seen here. Several actions took place on the 100th anniversary of the parish merger. Among other things, symbolic border steles were set up exactly at the local border at that time, as well as a memorial stone in the former village center of Eiderstede.
