The Wik district is located in the north of the Schleswig-Holstein state capital, Kiel . In terms of area and with a total population of 18,813 inhabitants, the Wik is the second largest district of Kiel (as of December 31, 2014). Kiel-Wik has a maritime character and is home to the Kiel naval base (Tirpitzhafen) and is the berth for the training ship Gorch Fock .

history

The village of Wik is documented as Kotelwik in 1286. The name indicates semi-Slavic origin and means something like Kesselbucht. But the village was named Wyck as early as 1317. In 1886 negotiations about the incorporation were conducted on the initiative of the rural community Wik. The community was unable to bear the costs of building the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal on its own. Due to the objection of the royal government, the incorporation was delayed and could only take place on April 1, 1893. The Kiel city area increased by 514.43 hectares.

In the years 2007–2009, a bunker built in the Second World War was demolished on the site of the former Technical Marine School (TMS) on Prinz-Heinrich- Strasse.

Canal crossing

Four high bridges lead over the canal in Kiel. Two in the Wik and two in Suchsdorf . For a crossing by bike or on foot, a ferry connection was already used in the days of the canal construction. The crossing has always been free of charge, a corresponding law for free crossing was already passed by the builder of the canal, Kaiser Wilhelm I (completion and inauguration by Kaiser Wilhelm II ), as it is an unnatural landscape obstacle. The Wik – Holtenau ferry is operated by the Adler I , which is 14 meters long and 5 meters wide . The vehicle, which can accommodate up to 49 people and around 24 bicycles, transports 3000–4000 passengers daily on the 3-5 minute journey from one bank to the other during the summer months; in winter it is only up to 1000.
