About this picture

Glückstadt ( Danish : Lykstad) on the Lower Elbe is located in the Hamburg metropolitan region and is the second largest city in the Steinburg district after Itzehoe . The city is known nationally for its traditional matjes production and regionally also for the Elbe ferry Glückstadt – Wischhafen , which connects the Schleswig-Holstein Elbmarschen with Wischhafen in Lower Saxony .

geography

Geographical location

Glückstadt is located on the north bank of the Elbe , about 50 km from the mouth, 16 km southwest of Itzehoe, on the southern edge of Schleswig-Holstein . The urban area had to be wrested from the Elbe by building a dike and is almost at sea level. In the southern half of the city, the Herzhorner Rhin and Kremper Rhin flow together to form the Rhin and flow with the Schwarzwasser at the outer harbor into the Elbe.

The federal highway 431 runs through the city.

geology

Glückstadt is on marshland , which only a few years before the city was founded for this purpose eingedeicht was.

Expansion of the urban area

Glückstadt borders on the communities of Blomesche Wildnis , Engelbrechtsche Wildnis and Kollmar , all of which belong to the Horst-Herzhorn office. In the west Glückstadt borders on the Elbe, the water surface in this area belongs to the urban area, therefore Glückstadt also borders on the state of Lower Saxony.

City structure

In addition to the core city, the city consists of the districts Bole , Butendiek , Kimming , Nord , Gewerbegebiet and Tegelgrund and the settlements of Nordmarksiedlung , Hans-Böckler-Siedlung and Temming-Siedlung .

history

King Christian IV monument
Glückstadt around 1895
Row of houses at the inland port

Glückstadt was founded in 1617 by Christian IV (King of Denmark and Norway and Duke of Schleswig and Holstein ) in order to offer an antipole to the growing Hamburg . The place was built according to the plans of the French fortress builder Pieter de Perceval, who was in Dutch service, in Dutch fortress style and was to become an impregnable fortress and port city on the Lower Elbe . The name Glückstadt and the Fortuna in the coat of arms stood symbolically for this plan: "Dat schall glücken and dat mutt glücken, and because schall se ok Glückstadt heten!" ( Christian IV. ).

The king tried to attract new residents by promising religious freedom . The first residents relocated to the new city due to the building plots and tax exemptions made available free of charge. In 1619, Sephardic Jews who were expelled from Portugal and initially fled to the Netherlands received a privilege to settle in Glückstadt. Together with the Reformed people who fled the Netherlands because of the Spanish-Dutch war , they settled in the new city from 1620. Glückstadt was thus also a city ​​of exiles . Both groups of exiles were important drivers of the city's economy from the early years of Glückstadt to the beginning of the 1640s. In addition to Sephardic Jews and Reformed Jews, Catholics and Dutch Mennonites (Anabaptists) and Remonstrants also came to the city. The Catholics were initially not allowed to practice their religion openly (in Lutheran Holstein). The Jewish community, like the Dutch communities, was given its own Jewish cemetery , which still exists today .

The fortress, the expansion of which was vigorously advanced from 1619, proved itself in the Thirty Years War . Glückstadt remained the only fortress in Schleswig-Holstein that could not be defeated by siege during the war.

After the Thirty Years' War, however, most of the exiles left Glückstadt in 1644/1648, which was now almost exclusively a fortress, residence and administrative town. However, the Mennonites still owned a house of prayer in the city until the 18th century. The Dutch church on Schlachterstrasse was run as a reformed church until 1816. The historic city center is still a prime example of a modern princely city designed on the drawing board .

Economically important were sugar , salt and soap works , an oil mill , a mint and whaling around Greenland . In 1659, Glückstadt became the headquarters of the Glückstadt African Company , which perished in 1671, and an Icelandic and Norwegian trading company .

In 1649 the government chancellery for the royal parts of Schleswig and Holstein was relocated from Flensburg to Glückstadt, so that Glückstadt became the administrative center. In 1713 the function was limited to the royal parts of Holstein, but after the end of the Gottorf Duchy in 1773 it was extended to the whole of Holstein. As the “capital” of Holstein, Glückstadt was connected to the Altona - Kiel railway line in 1845 . After the separation of justice and administration in 1834, Glückstadt remained the seat of the Holstein Higher Court, which existed until 1867. From 1867 there was only one district court here, which was repealed in 1982. Since 1867 Glückstadt belonged to the Steinburg district.

Glückstadt's economic climax was reached as early as the 18th century, and it became clear that the competition from Hamburg and Altona was too strong. The decisive factor here was that shipping was hindered by the sandbank lying in front of the city in the Elbe today and that the deep fairway west of the sandbank towards Hamburg was preserved. Overall, Glückstadt's development was more clearly shaped by the military and government than by trade and industry. Later some important companies settled there, e. B. a railway repair shop and the Gehlsen company with a sawmill, but these and some other companies closed towards the end of the 20th century.

The Augustin printing company was known far beyond the borders of Germany. It had a unique selling point with the printing of foreign languages ​​such as Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew, Coptic, Sanskrit, Japanese and with the printing of hieroglyphics. One focus was the printing of Chinese fonts, which were set by the typesetters according to the image of the pages. This was done with the so-called Chinese compass , in which the characters were sorted and numbered in a circle . In March 1912 this Chinese circle arrived in Glückstadt on the mail ship from Shanghai. Jimmy Ernst , the son of Max Ernst and Luise Straus-Ernst , did his apprenticeship as a typesetter here from 1934 to 1938, until he managed to escape to America with the help of the printer Heinrich W. Augustin. In the 1970s, the Augustin printing works ended with metal typesetting . The operation was modernized and continued by a rescue company. The old typesetting and printing rooms were closed and remained largely unchanged.

The Süberlingsche band and music school existed from 1877 to 1937.

At the time of National Socialism , from the beginning of April 1933 to February 26, 1934, the state labor institute located in a former Danish military depot on Am Jungfernstieg (called Provincial Correctional Institute for the Province of Schleswig-Holstein from 1875 to 1929 ) also held a protective custody camp . The building was used from 1949 and until 1974 as the Glückstadt State Welfare Home for the re-education of young people. During this time there was systematic violent abuse by home workers and economic exploitation of the young people imprisoned there.

During the Second World War , in 1942, the Glückstadt naval hospital was inaugurated in the Engelbrecht wilderness . When Germany was gradually occupied by the Allies at the end of the war, Hans-Georg von Friedeburg signed the surrender on May 4th near Lüneburg on behalf of the last Reich President Karl Dönitz , who had previously left for Flensburg - Mürwik with the last Reich government of all German troops in northwest Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark . On the afternoon of the following day, a British advance command consisting of three British armored vehicles entered the city. Two days later, the actual occupation of southwestern Schleswig-Holstein by a British main association finally took place. At the end of the war, the city's population doubled due to the influx of refugees, especially from East Prussia .

In 1956 Glückstadt became a Bundeswehr location . The 3rd ship trunk department, which later became the 3rd Marine Training Battalion, moved into the renovated Wehrmacht barracks. The soldiers provided essential help in protecting the city during the great storm surges of 1962 and 1976. After the dissolution of the Marine Training Regiment, Marine Security Battalion 5 until 1994 and the inactive Marine Security Battalion 1 until 2001 were in Glückstadt.

The Glückstadt Matjes Weeks have been held annually in June since 1968 .

Religions

Today there is an Evangelical Lutheran (city church) and a Roman Catholic (Sankt Marien) parish in the city. Furthermore consisting Pentecostal Free Christian Community Gluckstadt and the pietistic embossed community in the state church .

When the city was founded, however, there were other religious communities that shaped the city for several generations. One of the first groups of exiles to settle in Glückstadt were the Dutch Reformed ( contraremonstrants ). Remonstrants and Mennonites ( Anabaptists ) also came from the Netherlands . In 1624, Christian IV guaranteed all three Dutch religious communities in an edict of tolerance that they could exercise their religion and gatherings freely, safely and, if possible, unhindered within the designated doors . The Mennonites were also exempt from civic military service and civic oath upon payment of an annual fee. Reformed, Remonstrants and Mennonites used the two-story house at Schlachterstrasse 7 as a church and school in the first few years. Outside the city limits at the time on Itzehoer Straße there was a shared Dutch cemetery (also called the Reformed Cemetery ). However, the Remonstrant congregation dissolved in the course of the 17th century, and the Mennonite congregation was able to establish its own prayer house with the purchase of the house at Am Hafen 34 in 1655 . This house was used as a Mennonite church until 1734. It was then handed over to the still existing Mennonite community in Altona , which finally sold it in 1792. The church at Schlachterstrasse 7 was continued as a Reformed church until 1816. Two years later, however, this church was also sold. The formerly shared Dutch cemetery was temporarily used by the Catholic community and is now administered by the Lutheran community.

In addition to the three Protestant religious communities from the Netherlands, the Sephardic Jews from Portugal formed another not insignificant religious party in the first two centuries. As early as 1619, the Danish King Christian IV had granted them a privilege of tolerance, which also guaranteed them internal legal autonomy and unrestricted freedom of trade within the entire Danish state. In 1630 they were allowed to build a synagogue. In 1767 the synagogue at Königstraße 6 was rebuilt. In the following generations, however, the number of Jewish citizens continued to decline, which ultimately led to the synagogue being sold and demolished in 1895. The Jewish cemetery from 1622 has been partially preserved. Even today there are tombstones of Sephardic Jews from the 17th and 18th centuries. After the death of the last Jewish resident in 1914, the city of Glückstadt undertook to maintain the cemetery on Pentzstrasse. Nevertheless, all gravestones were removed during the Nazi era and the area leveled. After 1945 an attempt was made to reconstruct the cemetery. In the first few decades it was Sephardic Jews who came exclusively from Portugal, but later German Jews also settled in Glückstadt.

Another religious community were the Catholics, who were first allowed to hold private services in the house of the Spanish consul Gabriel de Roy in 1630. From 1687 on, the Catholic community gathered in a small chapel at Hafen 25. In 1782 the first Catholic church on the nameless street was completed. In 1966 the Marienkirche, still in use today, was inaugurated. Between 1645 and 1773 there was a Jesuit mission station in Glückstadt . At times the Reformed (Dutch) cemetery was also used as a burial place for Catholics.

Incorporations

The area of ​​the city of Glückstadt was enlarged on January 1, 1974 through reclassifications from the neighboring communities Blomesche Wildnis , Borsfleth , Engelbrechtsche Wildnis and Herzhorn .

politics

For years, Glückstadt was considered a stronghold of the SPD in the otherwise more agricultural district of Steinburg due to the high proportion of workers in the population . Later, following the incorporation of parts of the Herzhorn office and the influx of new residents, the proportion of votes equaled the national average. In the local elections in 2003, the CDU and the FDP were able to record a great victory. The loser was the GWG constituency. The SPD won the state and federal elections in 2005, at least in Glückstadt.

City council

Since the local elections in 2018, six members of the CDU, six members of the BFG constituency, four members of the SPD, four members of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen and three members of the FDP have sat in the city council. The mayor is Krafft-Erik Rohleder (CDU).

coat of arms

Blazon : "The coat of arms of the city of Glückstadt shows in blue the undressed white goddess of happiness ( Fortuna ) with golden hair, standing with her right foot on a golden ball and holding a billowing sail in white with both hands."

Sponsorship

On August 2, 1953, the city council of Glückstadt, headed by Mayor Horn and Mayor Gosau, decided to take over the sponsorship of the former city of Stolpmünde . This was sealed with a sponsorship certificate.

Culture and sights

Market square and town hall

Glückstadt is built on a planned , almost hexagonal ground plan. The center is the market square with the town hall and the church, which is interrupted by the Fleth and running radially on the seven streets. The historical floor plan has been preserved to this day and thus represents a rare example of a city "drawn from the drawing board" in Schleswig-Holstein. The historic old town has been preserved almost completely closed, but there are many well-kept historical buildings as well as many examples of misunderstood "modernization" of the 1960s and 1970s.

Museums

The Brockdorff-Palais, built in 1632, houses the Detlefsen Museum, which shows the town's history and the way of life over the past four centuries. The museum itself is one of the oldest preserved structures in the city.

Buildings

  • In the old town there are many historical houses and aristocratic courts, for example the Wasmer-Palais , the Brockdorff-Palais (today a museum and city archive) and the Palais Quasi non Possidentes . In the area of ​​today's port, the Glückstadt Castle , built by Christian IV of Denmark , stood from 1630 to 1710 , but it had to be demolished in the 18th century due to its dilapidation. All that remains is the now dilapidated provision house.
  • The Glückstadt Church , built from 1618 to 1623, is a hall building in the transition from the Renaissance to the early Baroque . In addition to the altar and the baptismal font, it houses various works of art from the time it was built. An anchor is attached to the tower, which was captured by a Hamburg warship in 1630.
  • The late Renaissance town hall in Glückstadt has stood here since 1642. When it became increasingly dilapidated in the middle of the 19th century, a new building was erected from 1873 to 1874, the facade of which, however, was modeled on the previous building.
  • The Wiebke-Kruse tower is attached to a house on the inland port ; the building, which has since been greatly changed, was a gift from King Christian to his mistress. The historic salt storage facility and the royal bridge house are also located on the inland port as free-standing buildings. The entire row of houses along the inland port is a listed building.
  • On the opposite side of the inland port, on Rethövel, is the aristocratic palace with its striking turret. The building was used as a women's prison before World War II.
  • A newly built youth hostel now stands on the site of the former admiralty. The old sandstone portal of the Admiralty was restored and is now used as the entrance portal of the hostel.
  • At the northern edge of the old town on the artificially raised Venusberg is the former Glückstadt water tower , which used to be a restaurant that offered a beautiful view of the dykes and the Elbe.

Parks

An extensive city park is directly adjacent to the city center in the northeast. The dykes on the banks of the Elbe also provide opportunities for walks.

Economy and Infrastructure

Inland port

Today Glückstadt is a small town with many historical buildings in the area of ​​the old town center. After the Second World War, a 1950s-style district was created to alleviate the housing shortage. Another part of the city, mainly built with private homes, was created in the 1970s through the dike in the foreland of the Elbe. Other districts with their own homes followed. Glückstadt is a former naval base. The Steinbeis paper mill is the largest employer in Glückstadt. The paint manufacturer Wilckens is also important. These companies are located in an extensive industrial park in the south of the city. After the Steinburg district was incorporated into the Hamburg metropolitan region , the city began to turn economically to Hamburg; many people from Glückstadt are now commuters . The demographic development has been declining since 1998 and will continue to show a slightly downward trend in the future. There are positive developments in the field of tourism. The historical city center, the successful efforts of urban redevelopment and the culinary specialty "Glückstädter Matjes" make the city particularly interesting for day tourism.

traffic

Glückstadt train station

Glückstadt has a train station and is connected to Hamburg via the Marschbahn . An express bus runs regularly to Brunsbüttel . Two ring-shaped bus routes serve city traffic.

Elbe ferry

The car ferry to Wischhafen is of supraregional importance as it saves around 150 km of travel and transports around 600,000 vehicles per year. It is planned to replace this with a tunnel when the Autobahn 20 is extended.

The federal highway 431 runs through Glückstadt ; the federal highway 495 ends, coming from the south, in Wischhafen . The Highway 23 runs about 10 to 15 km to the northwest. Glückstadt is located on the German Ferry Road , the Green Coast Road and the Elbe Cycle Path, the Mönchsweg cycle path to Fehmarn begins here.

In the outer harbor , seagoing vessels with a length of up to 130 m, a width of 16 m and a draft of 5.8 m can dock. In 2011, the cargo throughput was around 140,000  tons . The state port of Glückstadt was leased by the state of Schleswig-Holstein in 1995 to Glückstadt Port GmbH , a subsidiary of the Schramm Group, which now operates the port. The inland port is now only of interest for pleasure craft.

media

Edition of the daily newspaper Glückstädter Fortuna

Glückstadt has the oldest daily newspaper in Schleswig-Holstein with the “ Glückstädter Fortuna ”, founded in 1740 . It had not been published independently since 1969, but the newspaper has appeared again since March 2014. Glückstadt is located in the broadcasting area of ​​the NDR , all state-wide radio stations can be received in the city, stations from Lower Saxony and Hamburg as well as the British Forces Broadcasting Service can be received.

Public facilities

The Schleswig-Holstein company health insurance fund has its headquarters in Glückstadt. A branch of the Hamburg Waterways and Shipping Office and a branch of the Federal Employment Agency should also be emphasized .

education

House of the adult education center in the Wasmer-Palais

With the Detlefsengymnasium, Glückstadt has one of the oldest schools in Schleswig-Holstein; the school is run by the Steinburg district. At the beginning of the 2007/2008 school year, the other Glückstadt schools, which all belong to the Glückstadt School Association, were restructured. On the site of the former junior high school on Janssenweg, the citizens' school is now the only elementary school in the city, and a new regional school was built on the site of the former König Christian school (elementary and secondary school).

In adult education, the Volkshochschule Glückstadt e. V. active. The courses and events take place in the Wasmer-Palais on Königstraße.
