Location of the municipality of Kosel in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district

Kosel ( Danish Koslev , the historical form of the name) is a municipality in Schwansen in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district in Schleswig-Holstein . The community has existed in its current form since 1977, when it was merged with the previously independent Bohnert, and includes Kosel and Bohnert, the towns of Hülsen, Lundshof, Missunde, Ornum and Weseby.

Geography and traffic

Kosel is located about 5 km northwest of Eckernförde directly on the Schlei . The federal highway 76 from Eckernförde to Schleswig runs through the municipality. There is a rail connection in Eckernförde and Rieseby . The Bültsee lies south of Kosel .

history

The municipality has been settled since the Neolithic Age. In addition, two Viking settlements with pit houses and post houses from the time between the 9th and 11th centuries, as well as the associated burial ground, were found in the municipality.

Course of the Osterwall southwest of Kosel

Since the Middle Ages, Kosel, whose Laurentius Church dates back to the 12th century, was on the southern edge of Danish settlement in Jutland . The Osterwall , part of the Danewerk fortification system , runs a few kilometers south of the Schlei to the Windebyer Noor / Eckernförde Bay. In the medieval sources from the 12th century, Cosleve belonged to the diocese of Schleswig , which gave it as a fief . In the 15th century it belonged to the Schleswig Cathedral Chapter .

The exact location of a submerged village of Kiel (name in the 15th century) or Kielfoeth (name in the 17th century) in today's Kosel area is not known, but could have been in the area of ​​today's Kielfoot headland north of Weseby. Kiel was sold together with Weseby in 1465 to the Schleswig Cathedral Chapter; subsequently (1770, 1776) there were settlement agreements on the exact demarcation between Kosel, Weseby and Kiel.

When at the beginning of modern times the estate economy was expanded in large parts of Schleswig , villages were abolished and the peasant population fell into serfdom , the village of Kosel was the only district in Schwansen that was excluded because it had passed from church to royal ownership after the Reformation . and thereby retained the character of a farming village.

The community was originally called Kosel-Weseby. The exact date of the renaming is unknown. In the parish registers before 1919, the parish is referred to by its original name.

On January 1, 1977, the Bohnert community was incorporated.

Districts

Bohnert

→ Main article : Bohnert (Kosel)

Bohnert ( Danish Bonert , partly Bonum ), which belonged to Gut Eschelsmark from the second half of the 18th century, was first mentioned as a boner in 1352 . The name Bonum is also found later . The place name is associated with the Germanic * bon for white or pure (see also blank ). In 1417 the royal castle was built by the Danish King Erich von Pommern near Bohnert , of which only the moats have survived. In 1903 a villa was built on the site. Not far from the royal castle is the small peninsula Finsterstern ( Den mørke Stjerne ), on which a chapel is said to have stood in the Middle Ages in memory of the murder of King Erik IV in 1250. The Bohnertfeld and Hülsen settlements are located outside the center of the village. Hülsen is an earlier Kätnerstelle, the field name (Hülse) points to holly (cf. also the Anglo-Danish name for holly hyffel or høffel ), there was probably a bush grove here earlier.

Missunde

The ferry location Missunde ( Danish Mysunde , from the medieval Nordic Mjósund "narrow Schleienge") is located south of the Schlei and was an important and often contested place up into the 19th century, especially because it is located at the narrowest point of the Schlei.

As early as the middle of the 11th century, there were several very bloody disputes with the Wends from Wagrien . Since these Wends , which settled east of today's Kiel , often undertook raids to the north-west, the ferry station was repeatedly secured. In Brodersby , for example, on the other side of the Schlei in fishing , the remains of a castle and a wall separating the peninsula with the ferry pier can be found. Like the connecting wall of the Danewerk near Haithabu, this is called Margarethenwall . Missunde was first mentioned in writing in 1115 under the name Versund (Fährsund).

After King Karl X. Gustav of Sweden defeated the Polish army near Warsaw together with Brandenburg in 1656, his troops moved through Missunde, where they wreaked havoc. In the Great Northern War at the beginning of the 18th century there were again armed clashes and in the middle of the 19th century there were several fights for the ferry station. The residents of Missundes probably took refuge in the inaccessible remains of the castle in Brodersby during these battles. To the south of the town there is a memorial to commemorate those who fell in the battle of Missunde in 1850 and 1864 ( Battle of Missunde ). There is the passage grave of Missunde .

A ground cable ferry for people and vehicles has been connecting Missunde and Brodersby since 1960. In 2003 it was renewed.

Until 1928 the village belonged to the Ornum Manor. Today the place, which has around 500 inhabitants, is shaped by tourists. There is a campsite in the village; the narrow sandy beach on the Schlei is popular with bathers.

Weseby

Weseby ( Danish Vesby , more rarely Veseby ), first mentioned in 1462 , lies directly on the Great Width of the Schlei. The place name refers to a swamp area ( Old Norse veisa , Old Danish wesa ). Schoolbek ( Skylbæk in Danish ) is located near Weseby . The headland north of Weseby (located between Großer Breite and Missund) is called Kielfoot ( Danish Kilfod ).

Eschelsmark

Gut Eschelsmark ( Danish Eskilsmark or Eskildsmark ), founded in the early 17th century, is farmed. Only the cellar, built in 1799, remains of the manor house. The place name refers to the Nordic personal name Eskil (Old Norse Áskell , borrowed from askr ≈ ash ).

Ornum

Ornum, located on the Ornumer Noor and the Schlei, was originally a village that was converted into an estate around 1530. From the 17th century it was a Meierhof from Eschelsmark. Today the estate is privately owned. Manor buildings burned down several times in the 19th century. The place name was first documented in 1462 and comes from Old Danish / Old Norse and refers to the land taken out of the commons (Old Norse ór , Old Danish or ≈ (her) from and Old Norse nema , Old Danish nima ≈ take ). In Ornum there is the field name Pesthöft , which can be traced back to the fact that many of the animals who died of a cattle disease in 1744 were buried here. Ornum Mühle ( Ornum Mølle ) is also between Ornum and Missunde .
