Prehistory and early history

history

In 1287 Kaköhl (older spelling Kukole ) Gottschalck v. Helmerickestorp (Helmstorf) sold to the St. Johannis monastery in Lübeck . Since then it has belonged to the so-called Lübeck city monastery villages, which were scattered in Holstein and Mecklenburg, in some cases at a considerable distance from the city of Lübeck, while all villages in the immediate vicinity of Kaköhl belonged to the manor districts of Futterkamp or Kletkamp . Kaköhl also had a special position because none of the other city monastery villages was nearby. All the villages, which also belonged to Gutsherrschaft of St. John's monastery - as in today Ostholstein villages Dazendorf , Kembs and Suhlendorf in the municipality Gremersdorf and Heringsdorf , Klötzin and Rellin in the municipality Heringsdorf - were more than 20 kilometers from Kaköhl . A court clerk was responsible for Kaköhl and eight other municipal collegiate villages.

The centuries-old difference in manorial power resulted in a different social structure. The rule of the Luebian monasteries was considered to be far less oppressive and restricting the personal freedom of the residents than the rule of the noble, local landlords. Kaköhl was also largely agricultural, but a Kruger, a Höker, a blacksmith and many craftsmen were also based in this "respectable village" in 1855 . Until the 18th century, Danish horse traders who arrived in nearby Hohwacht had their trading post in Kuköhl, from where they sold horses in the area. In 1855 Kaköhl had 303 inhabitants, there was a school with 80 children and a midwife also lived in the village.

Until 1806 the city of Lübeck was the sovereign of the village. At the beginning of 1802 there was a settlement between Denmark-Holstein and Lübeck, which was carried out in 1806. Part of this comparison was that the eleven villages of St. John's Monastery fell to Holstein as part of an area swap. This marked a change in sovereignty, but the abolition of the monastery villages as separate manor districts (with municipal functions) did not take place until 1867.

From 1867 to 1938 Kaköhl was an independent rural community. On September 30, 1928, smaller parts of the former Kletkamp manor district were incorporated into the Kaköhl community. When the three municipalities Blekendorf , Nessendorf and Kaköhl were amalgamated by a decree of the chief president in 1938, Kaköhl was initially proposed as the name of the new municipality. The reason given by the Upper President in favor of the name Blekendorf had ethnic features: " I gave the new community the name Blekendorf because, from a local history perspective, it describes the Low German character of the landscape and its inhabitants more beautifully than` Kaköhl`. "

economy

Tourism is of considerable importance for Kaköhl, especially due to the proximity of Sehlendorf Beach , which is 3.5 km to the north . There are several holiday homes and apartments in the village.

societies

The Kaköhl Death Guild from 1723 originally had the function of providing precautionary measures in the event of death. Guilds of the dead were very common in Holstein in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, the Kaköhl Death Guild primarily has social functions - comparable to a shooting club. Football, table tennis and gymnastics are practiced in the sports club (SC) Kaköhl, founded in 1946. The SPD local association responsible for the entire Blekendorf community bears the name Kaköhl.
