geography

Hollingstedt is located on the Schleswig Strait ( isthmus ) between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea . It belonged to the historical administrative unit Arensharde in the Gottorf office . Already in 1231 listed the Erdbuch of Waldemar II. The Arens Harde as an area in Istathesyssel .

The parish adjoins the eastern bank of the middle Treene and spreads out on both sides in an easterly direction. The church village lies on an old moraine that has pushed a tongue of sand up to the Treene. This sand runoff made it possible to settle in a landscape that was almost entirely surrounded by moor , swamp and jungle. At the same time there was a connection to the east running Ochsenweg and the former Haithabu . The Stapelholmer Weg ran through Hollingstedt - coming from Oeversee from the north and ending in Süderstapel on the Eider .

A sea trade route between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea existed in the west-east direction through Hollingstedt, because only an isthmus between the Treene and the Schlei, about 15 kilometers wide, had to be crossed: Ships could get to Hollingstedt via the Eider and Treene. It was then possible to use the Rheider Au with smaller ships. Then the ships had to be pulled from the Rheider Au overland to Selker Noor in order to get into the Schlei. Alternatively, they used the Kograben just south of the Danewerk .

Around three pairs of white storks breed annually on concrete poles in the village. In the mid-1960s there were 15 to 19 breeding pairs. There is another occupied nest in Friedrichsfeld.

history

The place was mentioned in 1153 as Hugstaeth , in 1285 as Huglaestath and in 1436/62 as Hollingstedte (from the short form of the Norse Hugleikr and stedt). In the 13th century, the different names Hylingstada and Hylingstadir appear. In the same century the place is mentioned in the Knýtlinga saga . The name is of old Danish origin and is interpreted in place name research as a hill town.

In the Neolithic Age , farmers lived here around Hollingstedt. This is evidenced by the discovery of a stone ax from the Neolithic individual burial culture , a late Neolithic flint dagger and several flint tools in today's municipal area.

In 449 the anglers in Hollingstedt are said to have boarded their ships to sail across the North Sea to Britain. There is also an old map from 1596 in which Hollingstedt is named as the starting port for fishing.

During the Viking Age (800-1050 AD) Hollingstedt formed the western end point of the Danewerk , which led in an easterly direction over the entire Schleswig isthmus to Haithabu .

Ansgar , the apostle of the north, is said to have come ashore here with the Viking king Harald Klak from Mainz in 826 .

During excavations in and around Hollingstedt, thousands of fragments from the 6th to 13th centuries were found, which can testify to lively trade. Further soil investigations and excavations on the banks of the Treene - in the Lahmenstraat - revealed evidence of a medieval harbor and indications of the construction and repair of ships. A loading point for Rhenish tuff was also found during excavations on the Süderwiesenbach, which was used in the construction of many churches on the North Sea and in the Schleir region even as far as the Baltic Sea. A special monument from the 12th century is the Hollingstedter Church, which was also built from Rhenish tuff . It stands just under 100 meters from the bank of the Treene, at a point where, as excavations have shown, a house had previously stood.

In the years from 1760 to 1765 Frederick V , King of Denmark and Norway, had a bog colony built in the north-east of Hollingstedt , which was called Friedrichsfeld. At that time colonists from southern Germany were settled here in order to make the moorland arable.

Hollingstedt was used as an important trading port more than a thousand years ago. Despite the difficult overland transport of the freight, the natural shipping route was cheaper and safer than a detour through the Skagerrak . Two jetties from the 12th century were discovered during archaeological excavations, which corresponds to a use as the western port of Schleswig. The Hollingstedter Hafen was apparently approached by ships of Nordic design as well as by early cogs . Goods from the Baltic Sea region were likely to have mainly been hides, wax and honey, while wine, ceramics, weapons and later also tuff were imported from other regions.

The Treene was a tide-dependent body of water until it was dammed near Koldenbüttel in 1570: The tidal range of the North Sea reached over the Eider to Hollingstedt and thus enabled shipping when the tide came up. After this damming, water traffic was only possible with smaller ships.

The path behind the church to the parish hall also falls steeply downhill to the south. King Sven III. von Denmark visited the place when he launched ships in Hollingstedt in 1153. Since 1965, regional materials for teaching have been collected in the school building.

Another prominent guest was Tsar Peter the Great , who stayed in Hollingstedt in 1713.

Hollingstedt belonged to the Friedrichsfeld community until it was dissolved on January 20, 1873. Hollingstedt was one of the three successor communities.
