About this picture

Horneburg ( Low German Hornborg ) is a Lower Saxon town in the municipality of Horneburg in the Stade district . It is located between Buxtehude and Stade in the Elbmarschen ( Altes Land ) on the edge of the Geest.

In Horneburg, the floodplain and the landwetter converge. The left Elbe tidal river bears the name Lühe from here .

Neighboring communities

The neighboring communities are at the same time largely part of the combined community of Horneburg . Apart from the municipality of Agathenburg, Dollern , Bliedersdorf and Nottensdorf are located near Horneburg.

history

The oldest evidence of settlement on the Horneburg Geestrand in the glacial valley of the Elbe can still be seen today on an archaeological trail through some large stone graves west of Gut Daudieck. The graves date to around 3500 BC. BC, as shown by grave goods.

At the intersection of two medieval military and trade routes with a ford through the Lühe, a market, a goods handling and road customs office, horse exchange stations and relaxation areas for merchants, traders, pilgrims and students, peddlers and beggars were created. Craftsmen settled here and ensured the continuation of the journey with their specialist knowledge and work performance if the unpaved long-distance traffic routes had damaged or destroyed shoes, wagons and carts, bridles and barrels in the event of accidents or wear and tear. In the late Middle Ages, Horneburg was privileged to be a market town by the archbishop and sovereign.

Until the beginning of the railway construction in 1881, the port in Horneburg was of paramount importance for Horneburg and the surrounding area. The ferry traffic across the Elbe to Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein was of particular importance. Swedish books on the Jordan River and the transport of Jutland cattle herds provide information about ferry connections to Wedel (Holstein). Traders in Denmark bought more than 20,000 head of cattle every year, which landed in the Horneburg harbor and were herded into the Netherlands on the so-called Ochsenweg .

The history of today's Horneburg is closely intertwined with that of the castle men at Horneburg Castle until the 19th century . First of all, around 1200, two knight families are named as witnesses in documents, namely the von Borch on the Stader Geest and the Schulte von der Lühe in the Altes Land. Together with other aristocratic families in the area, they are castle men on the Horneburg, which was built in 1255. The village of the same name was created under the protection of the Horneburg. In 1311 the Horneburg was besieged and conquered in the course of the capture of Heinrich von Borch , the Isern Hinnerk . During a feud with the Diocese of Verden and the dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg , Horneburg was besieged again in 1426. However, this siege had to be broken off without success. Around 1500 the community of the castle dissolved and the noble families built manor houses outside the castle grounds. The Swedish lieutenant general Hans Christoph von Königsmarck had the castle demolished in 1645.

The Lower Saxony State Archives are in possession of a manuscript Stammbuch Caspar Schulte, Burgmann zu Horneburg , for the period from 1607 to 1771; The author was Caspar von Schulte zu Horneburg and Kuhmühlen (see also: Caspar Detlev von Schulte ).

During the time of National Socialism there was a satellite camp of the Neuengamme concentration camp in Horneburg . It was established in October 1944. Around 300 Jewish women and girls were doing forced labor in the Valvo pipe works , which had relocated their operations from Hamburg to Horneburg in June 1943. There were also Dutch women from the Ravensbrück concentration camp. At the end of March 1945 they were transported to the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp , which killed most of them. In 2000 two survivors visited Horneburg; this gesture of reconciliation was received with great gratitude by the population.

The Second World War ended for Horneburg in the last days of April 1945. After hours of heavy bombardment by British tanks, the place was handed over. Before that, German Wehrmacht members had blown up two road bridges and the railway bridge over the floodplain.

Sights, events

Isern Hinnerk
Church of Our Lady
  • The Horneburg was a late medieval stiftsbremische Wasserburg from around 1255, which was built on parts of the monastery Harsefeld. It has not been preserved, but the moat can still be seen.
  • The bronze sculpture Isern Hinnerk by Frijo Müller-Belecke at Burgmannshof depicts Heinrich von Borch , who lived as Burgmann zu Horneburg at the beginning of the 14th century as a ministerial officer to the Archbishop of Bremen. Many legends arose about the knight. The memorial shows how lapwing revealed its hiding place in the moor to its captors.

  • The Liebfrauenkirche, founded by the Horneburg castle men, was first mentioned in 1396. The church, which was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War , was rebuilt in 1632 and rebuilt several times from 1670 and expanded to the south. In 1729 it was renewed on the old foundations in the Baroque style. It received a new west tower in 1739. The organ and its prospectus from 1755 were restored in 2000 and a second manual was added.
  • The castle in the castle park, a manor house of the von Düring family on the outer bailey, was a seven-axle hall house in Lower Saxony in 1840 . In 1886 it was converted into a two-story mansion in the Tudor style of historicism . To the south is the attached, three-story brick tower. The castle is surrounded by the English landscape park, the overall appearance of which is impaired by allotment gardens.
  • The two-storey old customs house on the outer bailey is a reminder of the privilege of the castle men to levy road and bridge tolls. The half-timbered house was a workshop since 1779, later a savings bank and is now a residential building. A cast iron shop window with tendril arches has been preserved.
  • The single-storey Burgmannshof from 1509/10 of the Schulte von der Lühe family on the outer bailey was the first manor house to expand the area to the west.
  • The two-storey town hall with arched windows has housed the Horneburg post office with an opening since 1615. In 1862 it was redesigned and plastered. The former pharmacy on the Geest side has a two-armed flight of stairs in front of it.
  • The handicraft museum was the von Düring'sche horse stable , a single-storey brick building with a slate-covered gable roof and iron windows.
  • The Dankers house on Marschdamm is a gable-independent half-timbered house from around 1900.
  • The Gertruden Chapel , built in the 14th or 15th century, stood outside the old town center on what is now Vordamm. It was demolished at the end of the Thirty Years War. After archaeological excavations in 1988, its ground plan is visible through field stones in the middle of the old cemetery.
  • The Lühepegel at the end of the Marschdamm is a technical monument from 1910.
  • The former Sierkesche watermill (Au-Mühle) of the Düring estate from 1877 on the old Aue has been converted into a residential building. It was the only tide mill in Germany ( 53 ° 30 ′ 37.4 ″  N , 9 ° 35 ′ 19.5 ″  E ). It used the tidal range of the Lower Elbe as a drive.
  • The Horneburg bird collection (near the train station) with around 380 bird preparations is the life's work of the hobby taxidermist Johannes Heinßen (1903–2002).

Events

The Horneburg Autumn Market has been held regularly on the second Friday in October since 1734. The market with 10,000 to 15,000 visitors and 200 showmen is of historical, economic and social relevance.

The certificate issued in 1734 only allowed the place to hold a pig market at the beginning. Only at a later point in time was the organizer allowed to run a horse market. The market then quickly gained relevance as one of the largest horse markets in Northern Germany until World War I. In the past up to 1200 horses were brought up and the place was the center of the horse trade on that day; the horse trade is still part of this event.
