Coat of arms of the former Eutin district - on whose territory the Eutin home association concentrates in its activities

The Heimatverband Eutin was a local history association based in Eutin in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein .

The association was founded on October 29, 1966 in Eutin (then Eutin district ) as the “Association for the care and promotion of local history in the Eutin district”. After the Eutin and Oldenburg districts were merged to form the Ostholstein district in 1970 , the association was renamed the Eutinian Association for the Care and Promotion of Local History . It dissolved on December 31, 2016.

Sphere of activity

The association concentrated in its work in particular on the southern part of the Ostholstein district and its predecessors:

• Principality of Lübeck
• Principality of Lübeck
• Eutin district
• Prehistory and early history of the area.

The reason for this focus was the historical and political development of the southern district area , which until 1937 was separate in large parts of Holstein and Schleswig-Holstein .

Tasks and activities

The task of the association included the promotion and maintenance of local history for the residents of the Ostholstein district - especially in the southern part - u. a. by supporting the protection and preservation of monuments , holding lectures, excursions, supporting museums and the publication of local history writings.

The association was committed to the signage of archaeological monuments (e.g. information board at the Katzburg ) and buildings, the repair of cultural assets (e.g. crucifix of the church of St. Laurentius (Süsel) , altar of the church of St. Michaelis -Kirche (Eutin) ), gave grants for publications and projects and called for fundraising.
