Location of the municipality of Kröppelshagen-Fahrendorf in the Duchy of Lauenburg

Kröppelshagen-Fahrendorf is a municipality in the Duchy of Lauenburg in Schleswig-Holstein, east of Hamburg .

history

Kröppelshagen first encountered Cropelshaghen in a document dated St. Nicholas Day in 1334. Vorenthorp, on the other hand, was mentioned in a document as early as 1230 in the Ratzeburg tithe register . Temporarily abandoned, it was rebuilt around 1600 about three kilometers southeast of Kröppelshagen. The place name Kröppelshagen-Fahrendorf is not in use until 1900.

In 1945 the community had almost 770 inhabitants, due to the large number of refugees and displaced persons. Much has changed since then. Agriculture decreased steadily, currently there are only six full-time farms. Numerous new residential buildings were built north of today's federal highway 207 . The current population of 1,078 has increased by approx. 14.5 percent since 1991. There is also development potential to the north of federal highway 207, whereby the municipality would like to maintain the village structure.

After the inauguration of the St. Michael Chapel in 1974, the opening of the parish kindergarten in 1996, the over-planning of the town center in 1998 and the construction of the new parish hall in 2002 were important advances for the community. "Everything under one roof" was the motto at the time. Since then, the official youth care, the Kröppelshagener sports club with its 272 members, the volunteer fire brigade , the water supply cooperative and the adult education center are in the house. In 2003, the community-owned library with almost 5000 books, which is managed on a voluntary basis, was added.
