history
The name Horn means projection , here a wooded ridge that stood out from the flat marshland of the Hammerbrooker meadows. Horn was first mentioned in a document in 1306 when the knight Heinrich von Wedel transferred a court in Horn to the Hospital of the Holy Spirit . At that time the village was located around today's Bauerberg road . In 1383 Count Adolf VII. Von Holstein-Kiel sold the place to the Hamburg council , which in 1410 incorporated it into the newly formed lordship of Hamm and Horn . Since the beginning of the 17th century, Hamburg merchants have been building country houses with extensive gardens in Horn. The place gradually lost its village character and became a place of residence for wealthy Hamburg residents.
The French occupiers of Hamburg planned to burn Horn down in 1814 (like Hamm before) as a field of fire against the advancing Russian troops, but because of the rapid Russian success, this no longer came about, so that the place was saved. Through the reorganization of the Hamburg area, Horn came to rule the Geestland in 1830 . Shortly afterwards, in 1833, the Lutheran pastor Johann Hinrich Wichern , who was a supporter of the pietistic awakening movement, founded the Rauhe Haus on the border with Hamm in a thatched roof provided by Karl Sieveking as a rescue house for big city children . Today, the foundation of the same name takes on many of the Diakonie tasks in Hamburg. The Horner racecourse was built in 1855 and the gallop derby (initially North German Derby , now German Derby ) has been held here since 1869 . In 1874 Horn was elevated to a suburb of Hamburg, and incorporated into it in 1894.
In the 1920s and 1930s, Horn was settled on a large scale and built with multi-storey apartments in the typical Hamburg brick style. The planning of the National Socialist transport policy envisaged building a motorway yard in Horn as the eastern entrance to the city and the end point of the Reichsautobahn coming from Berlin . Only the Horner roundabout was implemented , the planned imposing development did not materialize. In the Second World War Horn was largely destroyed and the reconstruction lasted until the 1960s. In 2006 Horn celebrated its 700th anniversary with a large district festival , at which the musician Guildo Horn also performed.
Religions
Like the entire city area, Horn also became Evangelical Lutheran with the introduction of the Reformation in the 16th century . However, the place only got its own church in 1886 with the Martin's Chapel. In 1894 the church was given a bell tower and thus became Martinskirche, before Horn was parish in Hamm. After the Second World War, other Lutheran churches were built with the Timotheus Church, the Nathanel Church, the Capernaum Church and the Philip Church. The Kapernaumkirche was deedicated in 2004 and stood empty for several years. It is currently being converted into a mosque . There is also a Roman Catholic Church, the St. Olaf Community, and a Free Evangelical Community in Horn.
From 1888 to 1997, Hamburg-Horn was the location of the seminary of the German Baptists . The teaching building and the student dormitory were located at Rennbahnstrasse 115. The Baptist theological training center relocated to Wustermark-Elstal near Berlin in the course of German reunification . With the seminar, the Central Oncken Archive of the Federation of Evangelical Free Churches also moved there.
