location

Kolllerup is an agricultural village, surrounded by fields. The rather compact grown village consists of several houses and farms. The central village street bears the street name Kollerup. The second street in the village is called Süderballig. It frames the village to the west, east and south. Furthermore, by running the old highway that from the western Estrup comes, the village in order from there to eastern Kollerupholz ( Kollerupskov lead) ( location ), where some other buildings stand. By the way, a field area near Kollerup was formerly called Kollerupfeld ( Kollerupmark ), apparently less nowadays . The village of Großsolt is about 2 kilometers west of Kollerup. Satrup is located three kilometers southeast of Kollerup . The city of Flensburg is about 10 kilometers further north. The Bondenaue, which is part of the Treene , flows directly south of the village of Kollerup .

history

Beginnings

The suffix - rup of the place name indicates that the settlement is a village . "Kolle" is a personal name. Possibly “Kolle” was the founder of the village “Kollerup”.

Kollerup had evidently belonged to the parish of Großsolt for centuries. Like the other surrounding villages, it originally belonged to the Uggelharde . In 1867, Kollerup apparently became part of the rural community of Bistoft in the Flensburg-Land district . The officer and topographer Johannes von Schröder described the village of Kollerup in the following words in the 1830s: “[...] contains 2 three-quarter hooves, 6 half hooves, 2 cathen, 7 insten areas and 1 hoof parcel, which is called Kollerupfeld. A full hoof is parceled out and, along with a kathe, belongs to Gut Schwensbye. In 1834 the population included: 1 Kruger , 1 blacksmith, 1 wheel maker and 1 carpenter. School district Estrup. "

Events during and at the end of the Second World War

During the Second World War , from September to November 1944, Kollerup served as the location of a company . In April 1945 there were apparently a hundred young recruits at the Christiansen family's Kollerup farm, aged 16/17, who were apparently being prepared for their assignment in the Estrup school . They were also drilled in the meadows on the Bondenau near Kollerup. There they were supposed to jump over the river, which many failed. Every now and then mothers of the young people apparently came to visit Kollerup. At the end of April, the unit made up of young people was detached; their whereabouts are unclear.

At the end of the war, the German Wehrmacht had to withdraw further and further from the Allied armies . Evacuation measures had been prepared for the Berlin Reich government, Reich ministries and the security apparatus since February 1945, but they did not come into effect until April 1945, since they were not intended to admit defeat early. At the end of April, before May 1st, General Field Marshal Ernst Busch , who had been appointed Commander in Chief Northwest , is said to have visited the Christiansen Hof in the small village of Kollerup. The farmer Christiansen was not given a reason for the visit, he was given a notification for the following three days. On the evening of May 1st, the Reichsender Hamburg announced that Hitler had fallen and that Karl Dönitz had been chosen as his successor. The following days the last imperial government under Karl Dönitz settled in Flensburg - Mürwik . The Wehrmacht High Command (OKW) was moved to Mürwik. Field Marshal General Ernst Busch , who had been appointed Commander in Chief Northwest , apparently set up his headquarters at the same time in Kollerup on the Christiansen farm, 10 kilometers away. His adjutant and personal physician accompanied him . Prisoners of war from Poland, Serbia, Ukraine and evacuees had already been housed at Christiansen-Hof . Some of these people were relocated because of the new arrivals. The premises of the courtyard were converted into offices and a telephone switchboard. The actual landlord, the farmer Christiansen, was partially or even completely denied entry. Strict secrecy should be maintained. On the neighboring farm of the Jacobsen family, bedrooms, a lounge and a map room for the associated general staff were set up. Kollerup's houses and homesteads were used by the officers. The teams moved into the barns. About 350 officers and soldiers had settled in the village. The entire village was shielded from the outside world. Barriers were set up at the village entrance and exit. Armed guards checked the ID cards of soldiers and civilians.

Between May 3 and 7, 1945, Karl Dönitz also visited the village, presumably to meet Ernst Busch. On May 4, 1945, Hans-Georg von Friedeburg signed the surrender of all German troops in Northwest Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark on behalf of the last Reich President Karl Dönitz . On May 5, Busch was informed of the terms of the surrender. Busch found it difficult to come to terms with the defeat. He found the negotiation and surrender ceremonies on May 4th dishonorable, but he had to accept the terms of surrender. The British Commander-in-Chief Bernard Montgomery demanded that the Busch staff, to which the German army was subordinate in the northern region, to which the British command authority was linked. On May 6th, Busch, Wilhelm Keitel and Eberhard Kinzel discussed the establishment of liaison staffs with the British. The said meeting probably also took place in Kollerup. On May 7, 1945, shortly after the partial capitulation, Karl Dönitz also had the unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht declared. Montgomery ordered Busch to disarm and disband the German troops. From Kollerup, the Busch staff carried out the order, which affected thousands of German soldiers, at first only slowly. After a conversation on May 13, 1945 between Colonel General Alfred Jodl , for the OKW, and US Major General Lowell W. Rooks , the head of the Control Commission of the Allied High Command (which was quartered in Mürwik on the Patria ), Busch worked the one asked him Task in cooperation with the British 21st Army Group . Meanwhile, a clerk's room was set up in Kollerup, from which German soldiers from Norway and Denmark were smuggled south.

In May 1945, Heinrich Himmler and his entourage stayed in Kollerup for a short time . At the same time, SS General Curt von Gottberg appeared in Kollerup. Heinrich Himmler had come to the Flensburg area via the so-called Rattenlinie Nord to participate in the Reich government in the special area Mürwik , but he was not involved in the Flensburg government in the special area Mürwik. At the Flensburg police headquarters , Himmler organized false identity papers with the name "Feldgendarm Heinrich Hitzinger" and a suitable uniform in Mürwik. In Kollerup he is said to have shaved off his mustache. No later than May 11, 1945, Himmler left the Flensburg area and fled further south to the Lower Saxony area , where he was ultimately captured by British soldiers and died shortly afterwards on May 23, 1945 in Lüneburg by suicide .

On May 23, 1945, the last German government was arrested in the course of Operation Blackout. On the same day, an English jeep with armed soldiers drove up to the Christiansen yard. The soldiers entered the house, arrested Busch, took away the small arms and transported him.

Since the post-war period

In October 1946 there were 207 inhabitants in Kollerup. At that time, a large number of refugees must have been counted among the inhabitants.

In 1947/48 Kollerup was granted the status of a municipality in the Flensburg-Land district.

Until February 15, 1970, Kollerup existed as a municipality in the Flensburg-Land district. On this day, Kollerup was incorporated into Großsolt. Two years later, the fishing association was founded to maintain and manage the Kollerup village pond .

present

Kollerup has apparently not grown structurally in the last few decades, and has about 70 inhabitants. Also, like the neighboring Estrup, Kollerup was obviously less modernized structurally than the other villages in the municipality of Großsolts. The appearance of the village is still characterized by old trees, avenues, thatched cottages and impressive agricultural properties. In Kollerup, like the other localities of the community Großsolt, the village life of its own has largely been preserved.

Kollerup has a village square, also called Thingplatz ( location ). The villagers come together there for various traditional festivals, for example the summer solstice festival . In addition, the village also has a common room, the so-called “chicken coop” (on Alte Landstrasse), in which the village celebrates festivals.

Kolleruper village pond

A fishing club has existed in the village since 1972, which maintains and manages the village pond in the center of the village ( Lage ). The village pond has a size of over 600 square meters. Once a year on the first Sunday in November, the Kollerup carp fishing takes place, a big festival day for the entire village community. In 2009, for example, 250 visitors watched the event. In 2019, for example, 71 carp were fished. A few days later the common carp meal traditionally takes place in the common room of the village. In the following spring, new fish are released in the village pond. In addition to its function as a carp pond , the village pond obviously also has the function of a fire fighting pond . When a building burned at the beginning of the village at the intersection of Alte Landstrasse and Kollerup in 2019, the fire brigade laid a hose line several hundred meters to the village pond.

various

  • The Estrup-Kollerup fire brigade is located in the Großsolter district of Estrup in Knooper Weg 3 (about 2.5 kilometers away).
  • At the Reformation World Exhibition in Wittenberg for the 500th anniversary of the Reformation , the parish of Großsolt-Kleinsolt sent a bell for open-air church services from Kollerup to the venue. Federal President Steinmeier opens the world exhibition on Ascension Day by ringing the Kollerup bell. The mobile bell was later brought home.
  • In addition to agriculture , forestry obviously also plays a role in Kollerup . There is a small forest to the west of the village. There is apparently a Christmas tree sale in two places in the village, namely at Süderballig 2 and Kollerup 2.
  • As in other places in Großsolt, Kollerup also offers “Farm Holidays”.
