About this picture

Kappeln ( Danish Kappel ) is a town in the fishing region in the Schleswig-Flensburg district in Schleswig-Holstein ( Germany ). The city is located on the Schlei and since the incorporation of the village of Olpenitz has also bordered the Baltic Sea . Kappeln has always been a local trading and fishing center. Until June 2006 it was a garrison town due to the stationing of naval units in the base in Olpenitz . In addition to a small port company, Kappeln has several sports boat harbors and a number of businesses that supply and maintain the sports boats. Kappeln has a central function for fishing in the east and for northern swans .

The name is etymologically derived from chapel , because here, on the high bank of the Schlei, there was a chapel as early as the 14th century. Kappeln was a fishing village for centuries and struggled to defend itself against the corporation claimed by the lords of the Roest estate . Since the end of the 1950s, Kappeln lived to a large extent from the then newly established Olpenitz naval base and the associated facilities of the German Navy . Today, Kappeln is primarily of tourist importance and, as it has been since the end of the 19th century, it has been the main town in the eastern Schleir region.

As a former location for industrial production, the city has lost several important businesses (including clothing) since the 1970s. The former Nestlé factory will continue to operate as Cremilk .

In recent years, Kappeln has also tried to distinguish itself as a city of culture. The city ​​of Kappeln's collection exhibited in the Schleimuseum deserves special mention in this context. Since 1991, the city has also been awarding the Low German Literature Prize, endowed with 2500 euros, for outstanding achievements in the field of the Low German language, in cooperation with the Schleswig-Holsteinisches Heimatbund .

City structure

The districts of Mehlby (Danish: Melby ; with Wilhelminenhöh ), Dothmark (Dotmark) , Sandbek (Sandbæk) , Stutebüll (Studebøl) , Ellenberg (Ellebjerg) , Olpenitz (Olpenæs) and Kopperby (Kobberby) belong to the town of Kappeln .

history

Changing owners

Kappeln was first mentioned in a document in 1357. In 1406 the place came to the cathedral chapter of the city of Schleswig and in 1533 to the Roest aristocratic estate . Unlike the free peasants, Kappeln was therefore subject to a landowner in the rest of fishing . In 1666 the landlord Detlef von Rumohr tried to turn the inhabitants of the place, which had grown into a prosperous trading center, into serfs . As a result, 64 families, and thus a large proportion of the inhabitants, left the place in the following year and founded the village of Arnis further south on an island in the Schlei .

Civil rights document, Kappeln 1858. We Fleckensvogt, board member and deputy of the Cappeln area, located in the Duchy of Schleswig, testify that the cigar manufacturer Emil Georg Martin Zarnedsky was granted civil rights in the area of ​​Cappeln [...]

From liberation from serfdom to stain

In 1799 serfdom was lifted again by Karl von Hessen-Kassel . Karl von Hessen-Kassel was the royal Danish governor in the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein and meanwhile at the same time owner of Gut Roest. In 1807 the Danish King Christian VII bought Kappeln, which from then on formed its own judicial and administrative district. In 1842 the place received the status of a patch . Spots were Schleswig-Holstein minor cities . Kappeln gained regional importance in 1846 when it was granted unrestricted local justice and thus became the place of jurisdiction for the surrounding area. After the end of the First Schleswig War , the Angelner property district was dissolved and the Kappelner Harde founded. The Duchy of Schleswig, like the rest of Jutland, was divided into several Harden . After the annexation of Schleswig-Holstein by Prussia in 1867 (after the German-Danish War ), the Prussian order was introduced. In 1870 Kappeln received city ​​rights and remained the seat of a local court .

As early as April 26, 1814, the first allotment gardeners' association in what is now Germany was founded in Kappeln - which at that time still belonged to the Danish ruled Duchy of Schleswig. The "Reeperbahn" facility still exists today, making it the oldest in Germany. Pastor HF Chr. Schröder leased pastorate land divided into plots to those interested in gardening. Garden regulations were drawn up, the lease price set and a board elected. As early as 1800 the first garden areas for the needy were created in the area of ​​today's Prinzenstrasse after a request made in 1797/98 to the inspector of the Roest estate, whose owner the governor of the duchies was Landgrave Karl von Hessen-Kassel . In 1806, the Carls Gardens, named after the Landgrave, were created after he had previously divided the so-called priest wood into garden plots.

Connection to the transport infrastructure

According to a widespread opinion, in 1881 Kappelner boatmen and merchants prevented the Kiel – Flensburg railway from running through the city, which is now regarded as a legend. In 1885 the city became the end point of the Flensburg circular railway , which connected Kappeln with the northern fishing and Flensburg (today the B 199 follows the former route). This was followed by the Schleswig District Railway and the Eckernförde District Railway , which connected the place with Schleswig and Eckernförde.

Development in the early 20th century

In 1910 the city got a waterworks that was financed by Jacob Moser , who received honorary citizenship for it. In order to honor the memory of his father, the Jewish merchant Moses Jacob Moses, he also generously sponsored the construction of the first hospital in Kappeln. The economic boom in Kappeln in the interwar period is reflected in the construction of a swing bridge in 1927 and the construction of the Nestlé factory , which was planned before the onset of the global economic crisis and was only inaugurated in the middle of the crisis. Even before the outbreak of the crisis, in 1928, the city of Kappeln had economic problems and had to B. save on street lighting. Throughout Schleswig-Holstein, 120,000 farmers held rallies to draw attention to their worsening economic situation.

Kappeln under National Socialism

general situation

The majority of the citizens of Kappeln had already voted for the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) in the 1932 Reich presidential and Reichstag elections. Very early, from April 1933 were in Kappeln organizations, associations and religious institutions into line . Organizations that the Nazis viewed as opponents had to disband. The Odd Fellow Lodge in Germany and the Christophorus Lodge in Kappeln dissolved on April 2, 1933 . At the beginning of May, action committees close to the NSDAP took over the free trade unions, and in May the various professional guilds and organizations (including the civil servants' association ) were brought into line or dissolved. The Boy Scouts, the Stahlhelm and also church organizations followed. In June 1933, the ban on activities for mandate holders of the SPD came into force, which meant that newly elected SPD city councilors could not take up their office. The synchronization covered all areas of public life, including the TSV (sports club), the shooting club and other clubs. It went smoothly in Kappeln, as Kappeln had election results for the NSDAP that were far above average very early on. In the 1932 Reichstag election, the NSDAP in Kappeln received 53.9% of the vote, with a result in the Reich of 33.1%.

In the economic boom of the later 1930s, successful business people were in part closely connected to NSDAP functionaries in Kappeln. In 1936 the grain merchant Peter Kruse had the large, clinker-clad reinforced concrete granary built at the harbor, which still dominates the cityscape today. Kruse also owned the 'Strandhotel' in Kappeln, which the Kappeln German Labor Front wanted to convert into a DAF rest home, but did not receive any subsidy from Berlin. However, the DAF local group received support in their plans in 1935 from the friend and art seller of the painter Gerhart Bettermann , who had previously come to the region from Berlin , Walter Reichart. Reichart soon proved to be a con man in NSDAP circles and was convicted in 1935. In 1936 Gerhart Bettermann was commissioned to paint the town hall in Kappeln. The city had previously received an “anonymous donation” for this, but it actually came from Peter Kruse, who benefited from the DAF plans. The inauguration of the wall painting, in which two central figures raised their arms in a Hitler salute, was described as “exemplary” by a high-ranking NSDAP cultural official in a special supplement to the local newspaper Schleibote . The pupils of the Klaus Harms School, who had previously acquired the right to hoist the Hitler Youth flag , were led through the hall of the town hall, the ceiling of which was decorated with swastika ornaments , by the artist himself .

As early as 1933, individual workers who had protested against the Gleichschaltung were taken into "protective custody". The sharpest actions of the local and regional NSDAP cadres were directed against the "Jews" living in Kappeln.

The persecution of the Jews

From around 1800 two families of Jewish faith lived in Kappeln. But there were no Jewish institutions there. The Jewish religious instruction was given by the district rabbi resident in Friedrichstadt , who drove to Kappeln for it. In 1933 only one family of Jewish faith lived in Kappeln, living in the semi-detached house at Mühlenstrasse 36. That was Alfred Eichwald, born in 1863, with his wife Emma, ​​née Lazarus, his adult sons with families and their daughter Jeanette, born in 1895. The Eichwalds had built a middle-class existence in Kappeln with a lot of hard work and perseverance. The son Richard, born in 1890, ran a tobacco shop in the house under the company "Eichwald & Siebel", while the son Arthur, born in 1889, ran a textile business under the name "Alfred Eichwald". The Eichwalds enjoyed a high reputation in the city. Richard Eichwald was a member of the Kappeln volunteer fire department . Alfred Eichwald, the grandfather, was a member of the Good Templar order for the fight against alcohol. Richard Eichwald had come back from the First World War with high honors .

When the Nazis with the DNVP seized power on January 30, 1933, a period of persecution began for the German Jews in Kappeln as well. The three children of the Richard and Emilie Eichwald family felt this immediately. John Eichwald, born in 1923, who later called himself Jonny Blunt in exile, reported about a teacher who incited the children of the school against the children of the Eichwalds. April 1, 1933 saw the first state action against the Jews. A uniformed SA or SS guard pulled up in front of the shops for a day, with large posters calling for the shops to be boycotted. Later there was a lot more harassment from the administration and the NSDAP. For example, Richard Eichwald had to dismantle the cigarette machine in front of his shop by order of the city administration. They were also forbidden from letting their dogs run free because "" Jewish dogs "are not allowed to pollute the city". As the discrimination in the small town grew, the Eichwalds gave their children John and Erik, who was two years younger, to a school in Hamburg.

Memorial stone on the Kappeln cemetery

At midnight from November 9th to 10th, 1938, SA-Sturmbannführer Seemann was ordered by SA-Standarte 16 in Schleswig to destroy the shops of Jews in Kappeln in civilian clothes. Seemann took the district manager of the NSDAP Petersen in his car and arrived in Kappeln at around 4 a.m. on November 10th. They asked the local SA chief Burose to accompany them with some SA men. Then the Eichwald u. a. by loud knocking and shouting like u. a. "Power on you pigs, you are to be sent away, you have played out Jews" ripped from sleep. When Richard Eichwald opened the door, their arrest was declared. In addition, the savings books, all cash and all valuables and jewelry are to be surrendered. Questions from family members were answered with insults, kicks and slaps. Sailor shot the family dog. After getting dressed, the whole Alfred Eichwald family with his wife Emmy, the sons with their wives and little Kurt, Richard's third son, were taken to the town hall's holding cell. At 8 o'clock in the morning a car stopped in front of the house on Mühlenstrasse, and two men who identified themselves as members of the SS and Gestapo got out of it. These two totally destroyed the interior of the apartments. Arthur and Richard were sent to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp via Kiel, from where they did not return until months later. The other family members were released on the evening of November 10th. The morning after the attack, curious people poured into Mühlenstrasse. You could see the work of destruction in the house. The local newspapers made no mention of what had happened that night.

The Eichwald family decided to leave Kappeln immediately; but first the children should be brought to safety. It was possible to get Kurt, Erik and John from Hamburg to Great Britain with a child transport authorized by the British government . There they grew up in foreign host families, far from home. The adults in Kappeln sold the house and had the remaining inventory publicly auctioned on Mühlenstrasse. Then they moved to Hamburg. From there they tried in vain to get abroad. All six adults were transported from Hamburg to extermination camps in the east and murdered. Today, seven stumbling blocks in front of Mühlenstrasse 36, Eichwald-Platz and a memorial stone initiated by students from the Gorch-Fock School in the Kappelner Friedhof commemorate the Jewish Eichwald family .

End of war

At the end of 1939 Kappeln still consisted of 2834 inhabitants. At the end of the Second World War , Kappeln was the target of many thousands of refugees . Many came on ships to the protected Schlei and the Kappelner Hafen. In 1945 the population of Kappeln grew to over 5,000. On May 4, 1945, Hans-Georg von Friedeburg signed the surrender of all German troops in northwest Germany on behalf of the last Reich President Karl Dönitz , who had previously resigned in Flensburg-Mürwik with the last Reich government , the Netherlands and Denmark . Like other places in northern Germany, Kappeln became part of the British Zone .

City growth after 1945

Despite the redistribution of refugees who had arrived to other places, the population in 1950 was still 5004, almost twice as high as before 1939. As dramatic as the living conditions were at the beginning, the place benefited from the refugees. The Stehr machine factory and the Pagel & Kohn fish and marinade factory were founded in the barracks in Ellenberg. For years, the largest employer was the Liening clothing factory founded by Bernhard Liening on August 24, 1945. In autumn 1946 it was the largest plant of its kind in the British zone. In 1950, Kappeln was one of the west German cities with the lowest unemployment rate. Bernhard Liening was very socially minded, there was an exemplary apprenticeship training and a theater club. With the help of a building cooperative, Liening built houses for employees from 1949, each house with garden land and two apartments. At the end of the 1950s, however, Liening reacted too late to changes in the market and in 1960 had to apply for a settlement procedure. The company was first continued by Müller-Wipperfürth , then by Steilmann. In 1994 the clothing production in Kappeln was stopped.

After the war, the old waterworks from 1910 became too small for the greatly increased population; a new, larger one was built. In 1972 the last railway connection to Süderbrarup was closed. The Angelner Museum Railway still operates on the route today; However, there is no longer a regular rail connection. The closest train station is Süderbrarup.

After Olpenitz was incorporated, Kappeln became a naval base in the 1970s. On January 1, 1974, the communities Kopperby and Mehlby were also incorporated. In the mid-1970s in Kappeln, based on the Flensburg model, renovation measures based on traffic engineering were carried out in the old town area, which led to a loss of old buildings. In place of the old town hall and the old Ratskrug there was architecture in concrete construction, which today is generally considered a serious mistake. In 2002 the swing bridge from 1927 was replaced by a bascule bridge. The Kappeln District Court was closed in 2007; the police moved into the building.

Administrative community with the Kappeln-Land office

Kappeln has been running the administrative business of the Kappeln-Land office since January 1, 1983 as part of an administrative association .

Plans for Olpenitz and Ellenberg

In June 2006, the Olpenitz naval base, which was only built in the 1960s, was officially closed. Speedboats and minesweepers were stationed there; at times up to 4,000 jobs depended on him. The infrastructure of Kappeln (including schools, kindergartens) is designed for 10,000 residents and, according to the mayor Feodoria (CDU), cannot be maintained without follow-up projects for the port and the naval facilities. In addition to smaller projects for the conversion of the former naval areas, two larger projects have been in the planning phase since 2004: a conversion of the area of ​​the former naval weapons school in the Ellenberg district, originally planned as a Paralympic center, and a tourist center in Port Olpenitz in the area of ​​the former naval port of Olpenitz.

After the first attempt for the Paralympic center by a Dutch investor had not been carried out since December 2006, despite commitments from the Minister of Economics for funding of 6.8 million euros, the city of Kappeln won a Hamburg company in November 2011 as the investor and developer of the site given. A mixture of “leisure, business, holiday apartments, perhaps also a hotel and a marina” is planned.

Schleimünde lighthouse

Instead of the disused marina, the construction of a holiday park (Port Olpenitz) started by a private investor, but has stalled since autumn 2011. The purchase agreement between the Federal Agency for Real Estate Tasks and Port Olpenitz GmbH was signed on October 20, 2006. According to Economics Minister Dietrich Austermann (CDU), this company wanted to build the largest tourism project on the entire Baltic Sea coast with 500 million euros - with an island and lagoon city in the former naval port. The city of Kappeln has high hopes for this project to further develop tourism as an economic basis. Behind the now insolvent investor is a listed US real estate company. Construction preparation began at the end of 2008. However, a quick implementation failed due to conflicts between planning and environmental and nature conservation. The spit hook towards the pilot island Schleimünde has been secured in its currently undeveloped area as a future nature conservation area and may no longer be changed.

After long disputes (e.g. on March 12, 2009 before the Higher Administrative Court in Schleswig about the development plan drawn up by the city of Kappeln), an agreement was finally reached on the development plan at the end of 2009. On October 9, 2009, the actual construction of the holiday village on the former naval port area could begin. After the completion of the first houses and new washouts in 2010 and 2011 for the future marina, Port Olpenitz GmbH had to file for bankruptcy on October 19, 2011 after long conflicts among the shareholders. In 2013, the insolvent Port Olpenitz GmbH was taken over by Helma Ferienimmobilien GmbH, which intends to complete the project by 2021.

religion

Kappeln has three Evangelical Lutheran ( St. Nicholas Church and Resurrection Church belonging to the North German regional church and the Kappel danske Menighed belonging to the Danish Church in South Schleswig ), one Catholic ( St. Marien , parish church), one New Apostolic and one Evangelical Free Church (Baptist) church community.

Around 1800 there were one or two families of Jewish faith in Kappeln. In 1933 only one family of Jewish faith lived in Kappeln. However, there was no Jewish institution in the city. The Jewish Eichwald family fell victim to the Nazi terror. Except for three of her children, she was murdered by the Nazis (see there ).

coat of arms

The coat of arms and flag were approved on July 31, 1963.

Blazon : "In silver, accompanied on both sides by three blue pegs facing each other, St. Christopher in front view, barehead, with red cloak and silver beard, bare legs disappearing in alternating blue and silver waves, in his right hand a branch-shaped, natural-colored staff, with the left the baby Jesus, who raises his right hand in blessing, and with the left embraces the gold globe on his left knee, holding it on his shoulders. ”The coat of arms goes back to a city seal created in the 19th century.

The place on the Schlei, especially inhabited by fishermen and boatmen, takes its name from a chapel first attested to in 1357, which was probably dedicated to the patron saint of seafarers, St. Nicholas . But not this one, but the patron saint of the ferrymen, St. Christophorus , was included in the city seal in 1870, when the town was elevated to town status. In the place there was an important ferry connection over the Schlei, which was only replaced by a bridge later, in 1867 . The figure of Christophorus was already a landmark in the city before 1870 because it was placed on the tower of the Baroque church in Kappeln, which was completed in 1793, instead of a weathercock. A second Christopherus figure stands in the entrance hall of the church, carved by the Oberammergau carver Andreas Lang , a community foundation from 1934. In 1870, when the elements of the later coat of arms were set with the city seal, the herring catch with the help of herring fences was still a big one Roll, accordingly six pegs were integrated into the seal as additional picture elements.

The coat of arms was designed by the Brunsbüttel heraldist Willy "Horsa" Lippert .

flag

In the red cloth, which is bordered at the top and bottom by 2 narrow stripes in blue and white (see flag of Schleswig-Holstein ), the city coat of arms, moved from the center towards the pole.

Culture and sights

Former district court
Herring fence in the Schlei
  • The herring fence in the Schlei from the 15th century is unique, a kind of very large fish trap , the last witness of a fishing method that used to be common in Europe.
  • The museum harbor and slime museum are dedicated to the history of seafaring and fishing in and around Kappeln.
  • The late Baroque St. Nicolaikirche was built in 1789–1793 according to plans by Johann Adam Richter , a student of Ernst Georg Sonnin . It contains three pieces of furniture that were taken over from the previous church in 1424: a small wooden crucifix from the 13th century that has only been preserved torso-like, which could already have hung in the chapel from which Kappeln owes its name, a reredos by Hans Gudewerth the Younger , the Eckernförde master of the so-called cartilage baroque from 1641, as well as the epitaph for Detlef von Rumohr , who wanted to force the Kappelner into serfdom and thus caused some of the citizens to move to the island of Arnis. He fell as governor of Rügen in 1678 in the battle of Warksow .
  • On July 16, 1883, work began on the district court and the independently built prison building designed for 22 prisoners. It was opened in April 1885 and was manned by two judges. Since the court was dissolved in 2007, it has housed a police station.
  • The fishing and Schwansener banks of the Schlei are connected by a bascule bridge, which opens every three quarters of an hour during the day for shipping. In 2002 it replaced a swing bridge, which in turn had replaced a pontoon bridge from the 19th century in 1927.
  • The Dutch mill Amanda - built as a sawmill in 1888 and with a height of 30 m the highest windmill in Schleswig-Holstein - today contains a wedding room and the tourist information office. From their publicly accessible gallery you have a good panoramic view of Kappeln and Ostangeln.

Events

Kappelner Herring Days in summer 2007

The Kappelner Hering Days have established themselves as a well-known folk festival on Ascension Day . A harbor festival takes place every year in August or September . The former Turkish guild , now the Young People's Guild , celebrates its legendary origins in the 17th century at irregular intervals : Detlef von Rumohr was captured by the Turks during the fighting for the island of Corfu . The origin of the guild is said to be the welcome ceremony that was hosted by the citizens who remained in Kappeln when he returned to Gut Roest from captivity . According to another version, two Kappeln boatmen freed the landlord by handing the sultan a bag of gold that the citizens of Kappeln had collected for this purpose.
