geography

Hummelsbüttel borders Langenhorn and Fuhlsbüttel in the west, Norderstedt in the north and Poppenbüttel in the east . The southern border is formed by the Alster .

history

The village of Hummelsbüttel was first mentioned in a document in 1319 as the Humersbotle . The place name indicates an earlier existence, as the suffix -büttel refers to a Saxon foundation. A certain Hunmar resident here - a name first mentioned in the 8th century - is accepted as the namesake. For the middle of the 13th century, trading in grain is documented. A Lambertus de Hummersbutle is mentioned in 1253 and 1266. The family of the Knights of Hummelsbüttel were among the most powerful knights in Holstein in the 14th century. From his castle in Stegen , Johann von Hummersbuttel controlled the traffic on the Alster and attacked Hamburg merchants. In 1346 he was one of the knights who rose up against the Counts of Schauenburg and Holstein . In 1349 he lost Hummelsbüttel to the counts, who left the village to the Harvestehude monastery from the 14th to the 16th century .

With the Reformation and the dissolution of the monastery, Hummelsbüttel came to the County of Holstein-Pinneberg in 1528 . When the counts died out in 1640, the village with the Pinneberger rule fell to Denmark, but was part of the Hamburg parish of Eppendorf until the Gottorp settlement of 1768 . Since the 17th century, Hummelsbüttel has moved away from a pure farming village with the establishment of brickworks , which satisfied the increased demand of nearby Hamburg.

The last thatched roof house in Hummelsbüttel

In 1841 a Grütz mill was built (on today's Grützmühlenweg) , which ceased operations in 1862. The building was demolished in 1962 and rebuilt in the Volksdorf museum village . With the annexation of Schleswig-Holstein by Prussia in 1867, Hummelsbüttel was incorporated into the newly formed Stormarn district. The introduction of the Prussian municipal constitution in 1889 assigned it to the Poppenbüttel district . In 1937 it was attached to Hamburg due to the Greater Hamburg Act .

Since the 1950s, Hummelsbüttel has experienced a complete change in its previously village structure, especially due to the construction of the large settlements of Lentersweg and Tegelsbarg in the 1970s (partly documented in the Poppenbüttel district ). The last steam brick ceased operations in 1968. Since the construction of the high-rise buildings in the former town center, which is now called Hummelsbüttler Markt, although there has never been a market in Hummelsbüttel, it is hardly recognizable that it was a real farming village. The destruction of two prominent, althummelsbüttler buildings by fires contributed to this. One building was a very elongated thatched-roof house, located on the old village square where the village inn had been. The other was Hummelsbüttel's oldest house from 1672, also with a thatched roof. Today there is only one thatched roof house in Hummelsbüttel, the former shoemaker's cottage in Grützmühlenweg.

The boundary stones that have been preserved from the Danish era are still very striking today. In the streets Gnadenbergweg, Kurzer Kamp, Hummelsbütteler Kirchenweg, Heisterkamp, Ohkamp and along the Raakmoorgraben, the granite steles with the Danish royal coat of arms can be seen, up to 1.20 meters high. A total of 30 stones from the period between 1783 and 1862 have been preserved ( → list ). They mark the former border between the rule of Pinneberg, ruled by the Danish king in personal union as Duke of Holstein, to which Hummelsbüttel belonged, and the Hanseatic City of Hamburg with its rural communities Fuhlsbüttel and Langenhorn.

nature

A large part of the Hummelsbüttel area is under protection. These protected areas include:

The Sievert clay pit natural monument : In the former clay pit in Hummelsbüttel, marine and limnic deposits from the Holstein warm period have been preserved.
The nature reserves Raakmoor and Hummelsbüttler Moore : Both are connected via the landscape protection area with the NSG Wittmoor in the neighboring district of Lemsahl-Mellingstedt .

Garbage mountain and Hummelsee

The extensive landscape protection area with the Hummelsbüttler Feldmark: Hummelsbüttel still has a Feldmark that is cultivated by three farmers. It is bordered by the street of Ring 3 in the south, the Raakmoor nature reserve in the west, the large housing estate Tegelsbarg in the east and the border with the Norderstedt district of Glashütte in the north. The Feldmark, the Raakmoor and the former garbage dump in the northernmost tip with the former excavation pond called Hummelsee are landscape protection areas and popular local recreation areas. For the city of Hamburg, the Feldmark is an important cold air channel = flow corridor and biotope connection area. From the 76 meter high mountain you have a view of the skyline from Hamburg to the Harburg mountains and far into the Schleswig-Holstein districts of Segeberg and Stormarn. The coalition agreement between the SPD and the Greens 2015–2020 also expresses the importance of the Feldmark on page 64. In 2016 the Senate decided to lift the landscape protection for part of the Feldmark and to create 364 apartments in 4-storey buildings there.

The goal of the “Green Future for the Hummelsbüttler Garbage Mountains” initiative, founded in 2013, is to preserve the Feldmark.

The “Association for the Preservation of Hummelsbütteler Feldmark e. V. ”has set itself the goal of protecting the landscape and the environment, especially in relation to the preservation of the Hummelsbütteler Feldmark. This should be ensured through measures for landscape conservation, through the diversity, individual character and sustainable use of natural resources.

In November 2016, various citizens and associations came together to form the “Hamburg Landscape and Climate Protection Association (HLKV)”. The HLKV is a non-partisan association that campaigns for landscape, environmental, climate and nature conservation - also in Hummelsbüttel. The legal position as an association opens up more possibilities in the dialogue with the Senate and the authorities.
