Location of the community Hohenhorn in the Duchy of Lauenburg district

Hohenhorn is a municipality in the Duchy of Lauenburg in Schleswig-Holstein, east of Hamburg . The village of Drumshorn is located in the municipality.

history

The village is first mentioned in a document in the Ratzeburg tithe register from 1230 with the Latin name " ad cornu ". The Middle Low German equivalent of the place name is " Horn ", " tom Horne ". The field name Horn describes a protrusion or an elevation in the area. More recently, the name Hohenhorn (Lower German " Hogen Horn ") has become established.

On the basis of onomastic investigations and archaeological finds, research assumes that Hohenhorn, along with Geesthacht , Hamwarde , Wiershop , Worth and Börnsen, is part of an extension of the old Saxon settlement area and therefore already around the year 1000 during an expansion period in the previously not continuously inhabited border area between the Saxons and Slavs could have originated. The problem with this assessment, however, is the Anger shape of the village, which is still recognizable today. This is a typical plan form of the colonization period of the 12th century. Therefore, the former district archivist William Boehart advocates the thesis that the settlement was only created in the 12th century by settlers from the area south of the Elbe and Westphalia. The possibility of a later reshaping is not considered.

At the beginning of the 13th century Hohenhorn belonged to the parish Geesthacht ( Hachede ). After 1335, with the establishment of the Nikolaipparre, a separate chapel was temporarily built, but it was closed again in 1489. In 1598 the own parish Hohenhorn was founded, into which the villages Besenhorst , Börnsen , Escheburg , Kröppelshagen , Wentorf and Wohltorf were incorporated. The Fahrendorf plant , built around 1600, was added later.

In 1889 the Hohenhorn Office was established with its seat in Hohenhorn. From here the villages Hohenhorn, Börnsen, Escheburg and Kröppelshagen-Fahrendorf were administered. The British military government dissolved the office in June 1945. Until 1948 Hohenhorn belonged to the district mayor's office in Geesthacht, from which the Geesthacht-Land office emerged in the same year, today's Office Hohe Elbgeest .
