map

Flintbek is a municipality in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district in Schleswig-Holstein . It is located about 13 km southwest of Kiel and is divided into the districts of Kleinflintbek, Großflintbek and Voorde.

history

In today's Flintbek there are traces of settlement from the Stone Age . The first documentary mention comes from the year 1220. The building of the Flintbeker church was allowed in 1223 according to the document. When the church was actually built is unclear.

At first there was only one place Flintbek. When in 1327 a settlement outside the town belonging to Flintbek received the addition "Klein", the main town was renamed "Großflintbek". Kleinflintbek has around 500 inhabitants today and the Kleinflintbek volunteer fire brigade, founded in 1884, is the oldest of the three former fire brigades in the community. The Großflintbek volunteer fire brigade was founded in 1886, and the Voorde volunteer fire brigade in 1889. In 2019, the local guardians Voorde and Großflintbek merged to form the local guardianship Flintbek.

In 1845 the municipality of Voorde became a railway station after the Altona - Kiel railway line was built. The station is in the Voorde district, right on the border with Großflintbek and was named Voorde (although Großflintbek was larger). The post office established later was also given the name Voorde. The station made it possible for people to move in who found work in Kiel , which is now easily accessible , and also opened a number of shops and craft businesses. Above all, it was a class of wealthy elderly people (pensioners, former tenants, business people) who wanted to spend their evening in Flintbek. The former sand pit became a particularly beautiful facility due to the construction project carried out by the factory owner Lassen in 1907 and contributed significantly to the structural change in the village of Voorde. This is how a well-kept villa complex was created, separated from the old farming village. The rural element was strongly pushed back by this development. The financially strong, agile, and influential business people and retirees gained greater influence. They looked after the place and were open to many innovations. For example, the village of Voorde received an electricity station before the turn of the century, and the Lassenhäuser a central water supply, which was still in operation in 1951.

Today's municipal area originally consisted of the three municipalities Großflintbek, Kleinflintbek and Voorde, which together with Böhnhusen belonged to the Flintbek district and thus to the Kiel and Bordesholm districts . After the Bordesholm district was dissolved in 1932, the municipalities became part of the Plön district .

In 1937 Voorde was incorporated into Großflintbek. In 1938 Kleinflintbek was incorporated and renamed Flintbek. In 1948 Flintbek became an unofficial municipality.

On March 29, 1944, the Gestapo murdered four prisoners of war who had previously broken out of Stalag Luft III . Since March 29, 2018, a memorial plaque in the Rotenhahn district on Landesstrasse 318 has been commemorating the event.

In 1970 it was incorporated into the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district. Since then Flintbek forms with the communities Böhnhusen , Schönhorst and Techelsdorf the Office Flintbek and performs management operations for this office.

Place name

In 1223 the place name is written as "uilla Vlintbeke". In 1338 Kleinflintbek was called "Lutteken Vlyntbeke". As a compound from Old Saxon vlint- and -bek , the name means Bach with the flint stones . The brook name passed on to the settlement.
