Friedrichsort ( Danish : Frederiksort ) is a district in the north of Kiel . Friedrichsort is often mentioned together with Pries .

Name development

Today's Friedrichsort was still called Prießorth (Orth means projection, i.e. projection of Pries ) in 1590 . Then the builder of the castle there named the area after himself in 1631, Christianspris ( pris is Danish for "price", after Christian IV. ). In 1727 King Friedrich III. it after itself Friedrichsorth, which then became Friedrichsort. The meaning of the name is "Friedrich's (land) head start".

history

At the narrowest point of the Kiel Fjord (Friedrichsorter Enge), the Danish King Christian IV built the Christianspries fortress in 1631 . At that time Europe was in the Thirty Years War . The fortress was taken by Swedish troops as early as 1634, later razed and left to decay. Christian's successor Friedrich III. rebuilt the fortress between 1663 and 1667 and renamed it Friedrichsort Fortress .

Around 1800 Friedrichsort could be reached with small boats.

During the Schleswig-Holstein War in 1848, the Kiel vigilante occupied the Danish fortress. The command was held by the officer Werner Siemens sent by the Prussian Army to support him, who developed the first functional remote-controlled sea ​​mines together with his brother-in-law, the Kiel chemistry professor Himly , to defend the port of Kiel . They were laid across the fjord in front of the fortress, connected with ignition cables, and prevented the Danish Navy from entering the fjord and shooting at the city from close by.

Under Prussian rule from 1866 further military production facilities were added. To this day, the history of the place can be seen as a military base. In 1922 Pries and Friedrichsort were incorporated into Kiel , as a result of which the two places merged more and more. In World War II , most of the historic buildings above ground was destroyed. Nevertheless, the fortress with its casemates served as accommodation for many war refugees in the immediate post-war period. The Bundeswehr operated a marine signal point and salute battery there. During this time, in addition to conservation measures, other interventions in the historical substance were made. Some ramparts, a number of listed buildings from the Prussian era and 80 rooms with an area of ​​6,500 square meters in the casemates are still preserved today. After intensive cooperation with the site administration, the municipality and prospective buyers, the Federal Real Estate Agency was able to hand over this historic, approximately 90,000 square meter property to the new owner, Friedrichsorter Verwaltungs GmbH. The recycling activity, which was initially started by the Society for Development, Procurement and Operation (gebb) but was postponed again in 2003, was thus successfully completed. The new owner would like to make the fortress accessible and known to the public in the future.

In the 1930s, police station 10 was located at Falckensteiner Strasse 10. Today there are only 4 police stations left. Today's Friedrichsort police station is located at Fritz-Reuter-Straße 96.

In 1966 the first continuous express bus 14 S was set up from the Kiel ZOB to Pries / Friedrichsort. The initial surcharge of 30 pfennigs was abolished in 1977.

The Heinrich-von-Stephan-Schule, located in the former military hospital of the Friedrichsorter Garrison (later Hipperkaserne) since 1948 , was closed in 2006 and replaced by the learning shipyard .

Falckenstein and Horwarth

To secure the Christianspries fortress, two forts were built on the west bank after 1871. Fort Herwarth, named after Karl Eberhard Herwarth von Bittenfeld and Fort Falckenstein, named after Eduard Vogel von Falckenstein . Both became forts Falckenstein after 1919 due to the Treaty of Versailles . These forts were built to protect the aforementioned fortress. The name of the fort carried over to the local beach section, in 1930 the renaming of the local "Falckensteiner Chaussee" into "Falckensteiner Strand" took place, the "Falckensteiner Straße", which is still present today, originally led from the Friedrichsort jetty in a northerly direction to the the aforementioned road to Fort Falckenstein, after which it was probably named around 1900. The Falckensteiner Strand is the largest beach in Kiel.

lighthouse

In 1878 Friedrichsort received a lighthouse that was in service for almost 100 years. In the 1960s it no longer met the nautical requirements and could no longer fulfill its tasks. The bridge heights of the ships had increased and the illuminated buildings in Kiel had also increased. The tower was no longer sufficiently recognizable for incoming ships against the backdrop of the city's light silhouette. Instead, it beamed almost directly into the bridge window as it drove by. In 1969 the new, higher lighthouse Friedrichsort was completed and put into operation on October 29, 1971 with the look of the old tower. Both towers stood next to each other until 1973. The metal upper part has been preserved and is located in the pedestrian zone of Friedrichsort after various previous locations.

present

Today, hardly any inhabitant is aware of where the boundaries between Pries and Friedrichsort run, which is why you will find modern information here that actually belongs in the article Kiel-Pries .

Friedrichsort is best known for the dune-rich sandy beach of Falckenstein and the Lindenau shipyard . In the vicinity of the Falckenstein beach and the adjoining steep coast , parts of the former Friedrichsort fortress can still be seen today. Friedrichsort has a community school with upper secondary school , a primary school ( Fritz Reuter School ), several kindergartens, a library and a shopping center with a pedestrian zone. Since 2006, the first Club of Rome school in Schleswig-Holstein has found its location under the trend-setting name Lernwerft in a listed building right on the shore of the Baltic Sea within walking distance of the pier for the support ships. A well-known cultural center is the culture shop Leuchtturm eV in the center of the village. Since June 2006 there is a high ropes course directly on the beach . A restaurant has been housed in the historic part of the old lighthouse keeper's cottage since spring 2006.

economy

Friedrichsort and Pries have developed into attractive districts of Kiel in the last 20 years. The redesign of the shopping center is considered exemplary for Kiel. More than half of the construction volume in this area was newly built. There is a pedestrianized shopping mile on paved paths with benches and street cafes, there are still many owner-managed shops here. The center offers free parking spaces in the immediate vicinity.

In the industrial poor state of Schleswig-Holstein , Friedrichsort has a particularly high density of (heavy) industry. In addition to shipbuilding at three shipyards, locomotives and large diesel engines are manufactured here. Well-known companies are Caterpillar , the Kiel foundry and Vossloh . There are also three shipyards at this location. The Lindenau shipyard , the Gebr. Friedrich shipyard and the yacht and boat yard Rathje . Not only ships are built here, but also the first floating houses since the end of 2005.
