history
Since the 19th century
In 1864, the Hohnstorf train station went into operation, which was set up in connection with the Lauenburg – Hohnstorf trajectory . The said line apparently only remained in operation until 1878.
Fight at the end of the Second World War
Germany lost World War II in 1945 and it was gradually occupied. In the last days of the war, the Allied troops moved further and further north. In the neighboring district of Duchy of Lauenburg on the north side of the Elbe, preparations began in April with regard to the expected fighting. Positions, foxholes, trenches and anti-tank traps equipped with mines were established. In addition, various bridges were prepared for blasting. The population of Lauenburg and partly of Hohnstorf were also advised on April 18 to open the windows so that the pressure of the explosions expected in the following days would not damage the window panes. On April 19, British units reached Hohnstorf. At the last moment the British broke off the attempt to take the Lauenburg Elbe Bridge , which connects Hohnstorf and the city of Lauenburg . A captured German officer revealed in good time that the bridge was ready to be blown up. Shortly afterwards, the Lauenburg Elbe Bridge was actually blown up by German soldiers. The blasting explosions covered roofs around the bridge. The Hohnstorfer station building was badly damaged. In Sassendorf (now part of the municipality of Hohnstorf), panes of glass shattered due to the pressure waves that were triggered. The British then gathered on the southern bank of the Elbe. Negotiations regarding a non-fighting surrender of the city of Lauenburg failed on April 27th.
In the early morning of April 29, 1945, the British troops finally crossed from Artlenburg with armored ferries and floating tanks to the opposite bank of the Elbe near Schnakenbek and set up a bridgehead . The city of Lauenburg could be taken in the morning. Pontoon bridges were erected by evening and the British troops continued to advance to Krüzen , Lütau and Basedow . On May 1st, Geesthacht and Büchen were occupied . Lübeck could already be occupied on May 2nd . On the same day, the executive government of the Reich fled from the Eutin - Plön area, 80 kilometers further north, from the approaching British troops to Flensburg - Mürwik . Only two days later the surrender of all German troops in northwest Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark took place .
Since the post-war period
The building of the Hohnstorfer train station was converted into a primary school, which still exists today. Opposite the old station building there is now a kindergarten.
On March 1, 1974, the neighboring community of Sassendorf was incorporated.
In 2013 the village chronicle of the community, which was considered lost, was rediscovered. The village chronicle, with various events from the 19th century, was entrusted to the Lüneburger Sparkasse in the 1970s, which has apparently been forgotten in the time thereafter. Up to this point there was only one incomplete and difficult to read copy in the municipal archive.
