About this picture

Geesthacht is the largest city in the Duchy of Lauenburg district in Schleswig-Holstein and part of the Hamburg metropolitan region . It is located southeast of Hamburg directly on the banks of the Elbe ; the distance to Hamburg city center is about 30 kilometers. The lower Elbe , influenced by the tides, begins below the Geesthacht weir .

The urban area borders directly on the Hamburg district of Altengamme and is only separated from Lower Saxony by the Elbe , so the city is located on a three-country corner . After the Elbe bridges in Hamburg, the Geesthacht Elbe bridge is the second fixed Elbe crossing to Lower Saxony - seen from the mouth of the Elbe - and at the same time one of two Elbe crossings in Schleswig-Holstein next to the Lauenburg Elbe bridge .

history

Prehistory, early history and antiquity

The house of the dead in Tesperhude near Grünhof-Tesperhude , which was discovered in 1932 and excavated in 1933, dates from the Bronze Age . The urns and stone settings on the Päpersberg, which were uncovered in 1886 and 1893, also date from the Bronze Age. In 1928 an urn cemetery was discovered on Worther Weg, which is dated to the 1st century BC. The urns in stone wrapping from this period, which were found in 1912 during the paving of the street at the end of Mühlenstrasse in Geesthacht, are evidence of settlement during the migration period .

middle Ages

Foundation and name of the place

Research assumes that the first church in Geesthacht was founded about 100 years after Ludwig the Pious , who fortified the border of the Frankish Empire north of the Elbe in the area of ​​the Sadelbande in 822 to protect against the Slavs. The place Geesthacht was first mentioned in 1216 as "Hachede" . In this document from 1216, Count Albrecht von Orlamünde , governor of the Danish King Waldemar II , granted the citizens of Hamburg exemption from customs at some customs offices , including Hachede. In the Ratzeburg tithe register of 1230, the name of the parish place is "Hagede" , although this spelling apparently reflects the older phonetic form of the place name. The origin of the place name Hacht or Hagede or Hachede (also Haghede ), as the place is called differently in the traditions, can be determined by looking at the oldest sound form Hagede and by comparing analogous formations such as "Mestethi" (= Meschede), can be determined, so that a reconstructed form * Hagithi or * Hagithja is to be used for the place name Hagede . The place name * Hagithi is probably a formation from the Old Saxon field name * hag- : " Umzäunung , Gehege, Hecke, Wileplatz" and the widespread place name suffix -ithi. -ithja (hag-ithi> hag-ede (hach-ede)> hach-t). Due to the name formation, the first settlement can be concluded in the 9th century at the latest. The name Geesthacht (composite of Geest and Hacht ) appears for the first time in 1402 in a document. In the 17th century, the ancient spelling "Geisthachede" was still used in isolated cases . “Gesthagt” and “GeistHachd” in use.

13-15 century

A change in the course of the river cut the place in two, creating the older Hacht an der Geest (Geesthacht) north of the Elbe and a younger Hacht an der Marsch ( Marschacht ) south of the Elbe . It is believed that the course of the river changed in the 12th century, as today's Elbe already existed in 1162 when the southern border of the Ratzeburg diocese was determined. The final separation of these two places is said to have taken place at the latest in the middle of the 13th century, when the common church sank into the Elbe between 1230 and 1258.

Hachede or Hacht an der Geest was rebuilt after the flooding in the 13th century in a horseshoe shape that was still clearly recognizable in 1830. Starting from the market with the church as the middle piece of the horseshoe, the two legs were the Bergedorfer Straße to the mill and the Lauenburger Straße to the round mountain. It was not until the 19th century that Geesthacht developed into a real clustered village.

The second church in Geesthacht was the St. Peter Church, which was built after the flooding and destruction of the old church on a hill of the Geesthacht Pastorenwerders (probably in 1261). According to the information in the Ratzeburg tithe register of 1230, the villages of Wiershop , Hamwarde , Hasenthal, Besenhorst , Fahrendorf , Hohenhorn and Worth belonged to the parish of Geesthacht ("Hagede") . Hamwarde, Wiershop and Worth were the first villages that were separated from Geesthacht. In the estimate of the churches of the Ratzeburg diocese of 1319, the village of Worth is listed as a separate parish ("Ecclesia in wort"). The village of Fahrendorf became desolate as early as the 14th century. Hohenhorn (Horn) was initially temporarily separated from Geesthacht with the establishment of the Nikolaipfarre in the 15th century, but was again reunited with Geesthacht.

In 1420, Geesthacht, like the city of Bergedorf and other areas, fell to the Hanseatic cities of Hamburg and Lübeck in the Peace of Perleberg . From then on, Geesthacht remained under the joint administration of the two Hanseatic cities in the Bergedorf office .

Modern times

16th Century

In 1598, the villages of Hasenthal and Tesperhude, which had been parish off to Geesthacht, were parish off to Hamwarde, and with the establishment of the new parish of Hohenhorn, the villages of Besenhorst and Hohenhorn were separated from the Geesthacht church.

Thirty Years War 1618–1648

During the Thirty Years War , the village of Geesthacht was not spared from raids. In 1627 the village of Geesthacht was plundered several times by Wallensteins and Tillys mercenaries . In contrast to the Vierlanden , who were able to avoid billeting by the troops of Wallenstein and Tilly in return for contributions , Geesthacht, as the exclave of the Bergedorf office , was defenseless against the raids of the mercenaries. In 1642, Geesthacht was plundered by Swedish mercenaries. In the summer of 1644, imperial troops raided the village. Here, the clerk was killed at Geesthacht and it came to looting and arson .

The time after the Peace of Westphalia until 1679

With the Peace of Westphalia of 1648, however, the Bergedorf office did not end the wars and horrors. In 1658 the imperial and Brandenburg soldiers who helped the King of Denmark in the fight against the Swedes attacked the village of Geesthacht. The Geesthachts were again robbed of their goods, which they had previously brought to the church for protection as in 1644. However, the stolen sacrament implements were brought back to the church by a horseman. In November 1675 the Danish colonel von Oertzen moved from the east into the Vierlande and probably also into Geesthacht, killed some residents and stayed in the country until June 4, 1676. In order to prevent the Vierlande from being annexed by the Danes, the cities of Hamburg and Lübeck approved the billeting of a Braunschweig-Lüneburg protection force, which occupied the Vierlande (also Geesthacht?) From 1676 to 1679.

1679 to the end of the 18th century

A flood disaster in 1684 led to the complete destruction of St. Peter's Church. The St. Salvatoris Church was subsequently built on higher ground in 1685 .

Trades in the 17th and 18th centuries

The timber trade was an important trade in the 17th and 18th centuries for the Geesthacht Hufner and some Kätner. An overview of the traders in Geesthacht has come down to us from 1758. There were 42 tradespeople (not counting boatmen), of whom the band tears , 13 people, were most represented. There were also 5 shoemakers and 5 grocery makers , several of whom also ran a hooping and one ran a white bakery. The most important trades were also represented: 2 shipbuilders, 2 linen weavers and 3 brandy distillers.

19th century to World War I

In 1805 the old village of Besenhorst in the Elbe meadows (located on the site of today's Geesthacht lock ) was destroyed by ice plugging in the Elbe.

In 1849 the Geesthacht Hufner JCH Meyer bought the site on Table Mountain, also called Katzberg, and sold it in 1851 to Christian Brauer from Karow in Mecklenburg, who founded a glass factory there in 1852. As a result, many workers from Mecklenburg moved to Geesthacht, who lived with their families on the Katzberg. After the bankruptcy, JHC Meyer took over the factory and the site in 1854 and also introduced basketry there. The goods were exported to America, which revitalized the willow industry in Geesthacht.

In 1865/66 the Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel and his partner “auf dem Krümmel” founded a factory for glycerine and invented dynamite (a mixture of nitroglycerine and diatomite , a breakdown product of dead algae). In Krümmel , the Krümmel dynamite factory was the first dynamite factory in the world.

In 1867 Lübeck ceded his rights to the Bergedorf office in both cities in return for the agreed payment of 200,000 Prussian thalers to Hamburg. Geesthacht has therefore belonged entirely to the Hamburg state territory since January 1, 1868, as part of the newly formed Bergedorf estate.

In 1886, under Johann Friedolf ​​Wahlgreen, the first social democratic organization was founded in Geesthacht. In 1906 the Bergedorf-Geesthachter Railway (BGE) was opened, in 1916 the Krümmelbahn .

Time of the Weimar Republic

From 1918 to 1933 Geesthacht was the stronghold of the left parties USPD (in elections 1919–1920 between 26.4% and 41.6%) and later KPD (1921–1933 between 31.2% and 44.0%) and SAPD (local election 1932 10.5%) and is therefore popularly nicknamed Little Moscow .

In 1924 the town was granted city status after entry into force of the Hamburg city order of 2 January 1924, the City Charter of the Hamburg city Geesthacht of 13 June 1924. In 1928 the historic center was destroyed by a fire disaster.

In the Reichstag election in March 1933 , 28.6% voted for the NSDAP , 2.5% for the DNVP , 28.6% for the SPD and 31.5% for the KPD with a turnout of 94.6%. Thus, in 1933, Düneberg was one of the few strongholds of left-wing politics in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, which in this election was more of a stronghold of the NSDAP.

In the time of National Socialism

In the course of the Greater Hamburg Law , Geesthacht was assigned to the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein in 1937 and has been part of the Duchy of Lauenburg since then . In 1937, Düneberg was incorporated with the Besenhorst, which was incorporated in 1928. In 1939/1942 Grünhof-Tesperhude was added with the Krümmel incorporated in 1928.

Up to 20,000 forced laborers were used in the Geesthacht factories . Accommodation was usually in barracks, including: Camp "Am Grünen Jäger", Camp Schmiedestrasse, Camp Grünhof, Camp Spakenberg, Camp Reichsstrasse, Camp Grenzstrasse, Camp Sandstrasse, Camp Birke or Knollgraben, Camp Heidberg, POW Camp Besenhorst, POW Camp Sielstrasse, Katzberg camp. During the Second World War, Krümmel in particular was the target of air raids by the Allies , for example on April 7, 1945. Finally, the city was also shelled with artillery. Factory director Hans Mayer successfully campaigned for the Hamburg governor Karl Kaufmann to hand over the city without a fight. On May 1, 1945, British troops entered Geesthacht.

Post-war until today

In 1945 Geesthacht housed many refugees and displaced persons who lived in makeshift shelters. To counter the threat of epidemics, the laboratory doctor Dr. Siegfried Kramer received permission from the occupation authorities to operate a laboratory doctor's practice. From this one of the most important medical laboratories in Germany developed.

A referendum to reintegrate the city into the state of Hamburg after the Second World War failed on April 19, 1956 before the Federal Constitutional Court .

1953 the passenger traffic was stopped at the BGE .

On January 22, 1963, the prominent supporter of National Socialism, Grand Admiral Karl Dönitz , gave a speech on the history of the Third Reich at the city's Otto Hahn Gymnasium at the invitation of the then student representative Uwe Barschel . The teachers hadn't prepared their students for this appointment, so none of them asked a critical question. There was also no question from the teachers. The coverage of these hours of National Socialist history lessons startled the democratic public, and the European press became interested in this political scandal.

Geesthacht was also the location of nuclear energy research and energy generation with nuclear energy. There are several decommissioned nuclear reactors in the Krümmel district. The facilities include the GKSS research center (today Helmholtz Center Geesthacht) with the nuclear reactors

  • Research reactor Geesthacht I (FRG-1) (1958-2010),
  • FRG-2 (1963-1993),
  • System for zero power experiments as a test system for fuel rod assemblies (1964–1975)
  • and the decommissioned pressurized water reactor of Otto Hahn (expanded 1979 in the Hamburg harbor basin, transported in 1981 together with other radioactively contaminated ship materials and by 2010 also 52 nuclear fuel rods) as well as a few hundred meters further west the Krümmel nuclear power plant (1984-2011) with its Castoren interim storage facility. The citizens' initiative for environmental protection in Oberelbe Geesthacht protested against the building. In 1983, extensive safety retrofits were achieved in the lawsuit. Nevertheless, there were several incidents. On April 24, 2010, the chain of actions and people from Krümmel to Brunsbüttel demonstrated against nuclear power plants with over 100,000 people from the Krümmel nuclear power plant to the Brunsbüttel nuclear power plant 120 kilometers away . On May 30, 2011, the federal government announced the end of the Krümmel nuclear power plant.

In addition to the storage facility for high-level radioactive waste, there is a storage facility for low- and medium-level radioactive waste on the site of the Krümmel nuclear power plant. According to Vattenfall , there are 1,100 drums with radioactive waste, but in 2012 Vattenfall was unable to provide any information about their condition.

The dismantling of the FRG-1 facility is expected to take ten years and will cost around 150 million euros. The dismantling concepts for the nuclear power plant and the associated costs are still being disputed.

environment

There is a statistical increase in radiation exposure in the vicinity of the two nuclear facilities Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht and Krümmel nuclear power plant. Between 1989 and December 2005 there were 15 to 17 cases of leukemia associated with the nuclear facilities. However, long-term investigations could not reveal any causes. One speaks of the leukemia cluster Elbmarsch .

Eyewitnesses reported a fire at the research center in 1986. Official bodies state leaked radon as the cause of the radiation exposure - the Elbe slope is after all a terminal moraine . For critics, however, geological and meteorological conditions speak against radon as the cause.

In addition, various radioactive substances could be detected in the ground that could come from a nuclear facility, such as the radioactive PAC beads . However, such a material could never be used in the types of nuclear reactors available there, and thermal decomposition of entire fuel elements should have had more consequences. The dynamite factory Krümmel would also be a plausible historical cause of such metallic fly ash .
