history
Until the First World War
The place, which - almost certainly - was created before the time of Charlemagne (768-814), was first named as Kellinghusen around 1148 ("Thoto von Kerlegehuse"). The name has old Norse roots and can be translated as "Place built with houses of the people of Karl", whereby the people of Karl are not Franks of Charlemagne, but old Norse parish-free. Kellinghusen was temporarily the seat of the Goding or Goting of the Holsteiners and therefore an important place in pre-Christian times. Later the inhabitants were mainly craftsmen, traders and traders. Abundant clay deposits favored the establishment of faience factories. During the Danish period, Kellinghusen made the dishes for Denmark. The city became famous in the 18th century. Today it still bears the name Kellinghusen, the city of ceramics.
The stain right was granted in 1740; the town charter in 1877.
In the 19th century, the Huguenot from Hamburg, Camille Vidal, founder and co-owner of the "Fernsichter Thonwaaren Fabriken AG", was recognized for his tiled stoves at the London World Exhibition in 1862 , one of which is still in the Kellinghusen Museum. In 1870, like the other producers, he ceased operations because of competition from foreign industrial goods. Fernsicht became the estate of the later Hamburg politician August Jauch .
Until the end of the Second World War
After the First World War and the introduction of democracy in Germany in 1919 , local democracy and local self-government also applied in Kellinghusen, as in all municipalities of the Reich . That changed in 1933. With the appointment of Adolf Hitler as Chancellor , the NSDAP introduced an increasingly centralized dictatorship in which the rule of law and human rights no longer applied. This dictatorship was made possible by an empire-wide organization of the National Socialists, which had a party group in almost every town, which also included SA and SS members. Crimes happened everywhere - including in Kellinghusen. After the seizure of power , a downright unjust state established itself. On March 5, 1933, 23-year-old Rotsport handball player Otto Fabian was murdered by SA men from Kellinghusen. Public prosecutor's investigations into this murder were stopped within a few days, as the authorities were often already working with the Nazis. The SPD mayor Strobel, who was elected by a large majority in 1932, was illegally dismissed. In his place came the NSDAP local group leader Wilhelm Burmeister, who was also chief of the police. On May 15, he ordered a persecution of the communists in Kellinghusen, and 17 homes were stormed. Two days later, action was taken against local trade unionists, on May 29th against the local "workers', gymnastics and sports club". SA members raged the worst when, on August 7, 1933, they systematically beat up and severely abused former Social Democrats and Communists.
After 1945
The National Socialist crimes were hushed up for a long time. It was not until 2007 that a stumbling block was laid in memory of Otto Fabian.
At the time of the Cold War Kellinghusen housed a large garrison of the Bundeswehr ; Artillery units of the 6th Panzer Grenadier Division were mainly stationed here. There was also the Kellinghusen special ammunition depot , a special arms depot of the US armed forces . Today the honor grove of the Schleswig-Holstein artillery reminds of this time.

Attractions
The St. Cyriacus Church, the town hall and the Luisenberger Tower are distinctive landmarks of Kellinghusen that visitors immediately notice.
The St. Cyriacus Church
In 1154 the St. Cyriacus Church was built by monks from the monastery founded by Vizelin in Wippendorf ( Neumünster ).
town hall
The town hall, built between 1906 and 1908, was made possible by donations from Kellinghusener citizens. On the facade there are forms of historicism and Art Nouveau elements . The stairwell is equipped with stained glass windows showing allegorical motifs from trade, industry, handcraft and agriculture.
The Kellinghusener coat of arms and the coat of arms of Schleswig-Holstein are depicted on the facade of the town hall . In the state coat of arms, however, the two blue lions striding over each other are in the heraldic right field (left for the viewer) facing outwards , like the original Schleswig lions and exactly as the anecdote after Bismarck did not want to see. This misrepresentation of the national coat of arms is found quite rarely.
Luisenberger Tower
The Luisenberg Tower , designed in the neo-Gothic style, was built in 1858 to replace a wooden observation tower. Its name comes from the north-facing house of Count Hans Heinrich von Rantzau, who named it after his wife Louise.
Kellinghusen Museum
The Kellinghusen Museum is located in the community center and is dedicated to the town's important ceramic tradition.
