Kaltenkirchen ( Low German Koldenkarken ; colloquially Kaki ) is a town in the Segeberg district in Schleswig-Holstein . The districts of Moorkaten and Heidkaten are on the outskirts .

Geography and traffic

Kaltenkirchen is located 32 km north of Hamburg on the A 7 and on the local train line A 1 of the regional railway company AKN Eisenbahn GmbH .

Kaltenkirchen is the end point of the north development axis in the Hamburg metropolitan region as well as the middle center and has a total of four AKN railway stops: Kaltenkirchen Süd (industrial area), Kaltenkirchen (city center), Holstentherme (leisure park) and the Dodenhof stop .

It is planned to run the Hamburg S-Bahn on the AKN tracks from Hamburg to Kaltenkirchen in the medium term.

history

The city name is derived from the first written mention in the 14th century. The Middle Low German name of the settlement at that time was "Koldenkarken" or "Koldenkirchen". The current name has been used since 1701.

In 1884 Kaltenkirchen became the end point of a railway connection with Altona , which was later extended to Neumünster and was named Eisenbahn Altona-Kaltenkirchen-Neumünster (AKN).

In the Moorkaten district of the village of Kaltenkirchen there was an airfield of the Reichsluftwaffe and a satellite camp of the Neuengamme concentration camp for the accommodation of concentration camp prisoners who had to do forced labor during the expansion of the military airfield during the Second World War . Hundreds of prisoners were killed in the inhuman living and working conditions or were murdered by the guards. Since April 2000, is located on the site of the former Kaltenkirchen concentration camp outside the camp , the concentration camp memorial Kaltenkirchen in Spring Hirsch , reminiscent of the suffering of victims.

The former military airfield site in Moorkaten was after the Second World War by the Armed Forces as a training area used. This use has since been discontinued and the former training area is to be used as a compensation area for the expansion of the A 20 .

As a result of the Second World War, German refugees and displaced persons settled in Kaltenkirchen, whereby the population of the village increased two-and-a-half times from 1939 to 1946 to around 5000 people.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the major airport in Hamburg-Kaltenkirchen near Kaltenkirchen was planned to replace the airport in Hamburg-Fuhlsbüttel . These plans are currently not being pursued any further; However, Flughafen Hamburg GmbH , which is responsible for a possible construction, still has the necessary space in the Kaltenkirchener Heide and the planning was discussed again in 2003.

Kaltenkirchen received city ​​rights on December 1, 1973 .

coat of arms

The municipal coat of arms was designed by the Brunsbüttel heraldist Willy "Horsa" Lippert and the Kaltenkirchener Theodor Brix. The coat of arms was approved on July 18, 1974.

Blazon : "In red the silver , Holstein nettle leaf , on it a red church tower accompaniedby two blue oak leaves with a blue cap and a pointed tower ."

Foundation of the coat of arms: The landmark and oldest building of the town that became a town in 1973 is the St. Michaelis Church, represented in the coat of arms by its characteristic tower. At the same time, this stands as a representative part for the entire church building and thus refers “speaking” to the place name. The place and church were first mentioned in 1301, but both are undoubtedly older. As is known from the neighboring parish of Bramstedt, the history of the parish of Kaltenkirchen probably began before the 13th century. Prehistoric burial mounds with urn finds indicate a settlement continuity reaching back even further. The oak leaves in the coat of arms are intended to remind of the former forest area in which the place was created. To make it clear that the city belongs to the Holstein region, the local symbol is drawn in the oversized nettle leaf. Nowadays, the modern city takes advantage of its favorable location near the greater Hamburg area. The affiliation to the federal state Schleswig-Holstein is documented by the coat of arms colors blue, silver and red.

flag

The flag was approved on May 8, 1978.

In the middle of a white cloth, shifted a little towards the pole, the city coat of arms is accompanied by a red stripe at the top and bottom near the edge.
