Location of Krabbenkamp in Reinbek

The Krabbenkamp is a district of the Stormarn town of Reinbek in Schleswig-Holstein . Surrounded by the course of the Bille (nature reserve) and the railway line Hamburg - Berlin in the north, the district with almost 1000 inhabitants is located on an island. The settlement with numerous terraced and single houses was carried out in two construction phases from 1978. The closest places are Wohltorf and Aumühle .

Due to the location between the Lauenburg communities of Aumühle and Wohltorf and the poor transport links to Reinbek, the social orientation through kindergarten, elementary school and church takes place in Wohltorf. The nearest shops are also in Aumühle and Wohltorf.

In addition to the purely residential area south of the Hamburg – Berlin railway line, the Fürst-Bismarck-Quelle located north on Sachsenwaldstrasse (L 314) also belongs to Krabbenkamp. Due to the lack of public buildings in the residential area, the Bismarck-Quelle regularly provided premises as a polling station for political elections for many years , but this was ended in 2013 without any explanation. The Krabbenkampers are currently choosing in the Schönningstedter elementary school and a makeshift home used by the Reinbeck Reservist Association, which was built for Russian repatriates at the end of the 1980s at the Krabbenkamp entrance.

The place name Krabbenkamp probably means field with many white grubs . The name is first mentioned in a land map in 1777. The Krabbenkamp was then part of the Hammer Heide.

history

The plans to build on Krabbenkamp , which then belonged to Schönningstedt , go back to 1947. Prince Otto von Bismarck , CDU - Member of Parliament and grandson of Chancellor Otto von Bismarck had in 1950 sold the approximately 48-hectare Krabbenkamp at a hamburger real estate agent, who resold the land to the Hamburg businessman Bernard Weber. The Hamburg housing company Neue Heimat (NH) took over Krabbenkamp from Weber, who originally wanted to build 200 apartments, after a foreclosure auction . Since the broker and Weber each had a settlement permit for the agricultural land, those responsible for NH assumed that they would be able to build here soon. A satellite settlement called “garden city” with 1000 residential units and a point building (high-rise) at the highest point was planned by the subsidiary Neues Heim . The road connection between Schönningstedt and Aumühle, the current L 314, which was still missing at that time, was also being financed by Neue Heimat. The housing company also agreed to build a school and a town hall for Schönningstedt and to cover the costs for additional teachers and civil servants. The press spoke of “a unique contract in the history of the settlement”. However, the state of Schleswig-Holstein and the Stormarn district did not support the development plans and refused to give their consent, which resulted in numerous lawsuits. The community of Aumühle had also become active and had applied as early as 1948 to add the Krabbenkamp to their community area. The Schönningstedter municipal council and the Stormarn district agreed to a circle around the Duchy of Lauenburg. But since Aumühle then lost interest in the Krabbenkamp, ​​the project came to nothing. A renewed application a year later was rejected by Schönningstedt and Stormarn.

Neue Heimat's lawsuit against the state of Schleswig-Holstein for a settlement permit was dismissed in 1956 by the Schleswig Administrative Court. The funds already planned by the housing company were instead used for building projects in Kiel and Bremen. The municipality of Schönningstedt, which was in financial difficulties, stuck to the plans for the “Garden City Krabbenkamp” and drew up a new construction plan that also included the building site. A year later, the Stormarn district approved the landowners to settle in the Krabbenkamp. The "Joint Planning Council of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein" announced, however, that the building project would continue to be rejected by the state governments in Hamburg and Kiel for "spatial planning considerations". The Krabbenkamp should remain a local recreation area .

In 1957, six lawsuits were pending because of the project: Schönningstedt sued the Lüneburg Higher Administrative Court against Kiel's rejection, without success . The municipality then called the Federal Administrative Court , which transferred the case back to Lüneburg. A year later, the Third Senate condemned the Kiel Ministry of Social Affairs for granting the building permit, but allowed another revision. The Neue Heimat then planned to entrust the US architect Richard Neutra with the design of the Krabbenkamp. Instead of the large wooden surfaces in the building facades that are usual at Neutra, however, NH boss Albert Vietor envisaged the use of plastic.

In March 1961, the Lüneburg Higher Administrative Court initially decided against the development of the Krabbenkamp. Another revision was no longer permitted. Apparently, however, a judge slept soundly for five minutes during the trial, which the unsuccessful plaintiffs used three months later to go to the Federal Administrative Court again. The judgment was overturned and the case was transferred back to Lüneburg. There was then no further hearing because the plaintiffs withdrew their application in April 1963. According to Hamburger Abendblatt, Stormarn's district administrator Wennemar Haarmann suspected that this would not be the end of the story. The newspaper quotes him as saying: "We cannot yet overlook what's behind it".

In September 1965, the NH subsidiary Neues Heim went public again with changed plans. Instead of 1000 residential units, 244 homes should now be built. The Schönningstedter municipal councils immediately granted approval for this. Then they received a letter from their colleagues in the neighboring community of Aumühle, in which smoke nuisance from the future built-up Krabbenkamp was feared, and the Krabbenkamp could also take away hospital beds in Reinbeker St. Adolf-Stift and seats on the S-Bahn . According to Hamburger Abendblatt, Neue Heimat and Schönningstedt had meanwhile reached a settlement with the Kiel state government, which provided for a new building application for 244 houses to be submitted and the matter to rest for a year. The application should then be approved. When, even after two years, no approval was available, Schönningstedt decided to file a lawsuit against the state government for failure to act . In April 1968, the state government finally approved the Schönningstedter zoning plan .

The neighboring communities of Aumühle and Wohltorf then sued unsuccessfully in 1969 before the Lüneburg Higher Administrative Court against the Schönningstedter development plan and the approval of the state government. In 1972 the Federal Administrative Court had to deal with the Krabbenkamp planning again. In its judgment, the court admitted that the plaintiff municipalities also had to take their building plans into account, since the Aumühler and Wohltorfer buildings in the area of ​​the Bille bank would not differ significantly from the one planned for the Krabbenkamp if they were in their rights have not been impaired. The argument put forward that the Krabbenkamp is like a "green lung" for Aumühle and Wohltorf, which could only be used as a local recreation area, was rejected by the court, since the private land on the plaintiffs' bank would extend to the river, making local recreation impossible be. This judgment of the Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG 4th Senate, Az .: IV C 17.71) has entered German legal history as the Krabbenkamp formula .

The development of the Krabbenkamps began in 1978. Initially, the area was only possible via a makeshift driveway under the Bille railway bridge near the Wohltorfer school. Because Aumühle and Wohltorf refused a connection to their road network via a road bridge that would then be built over the river, the Krabbenkamp was opened to traffic by means of an underpass under the railway line to the Schönningstedt – Aumühle road.

By the end of the 1980s, single-family, semi-detached and terraced houses were built in two sections. The adjacent Billetal, which separates this Reinbeck district from the Herzogtum Lauenburg district, is now a nature reserve. In the years of the building dispute, it was neglected in many places due to illegal dumping of rubbish and rubble.

Historic railway constructions

In 1880 the loading point was still south of the main track

Track plan of the loading tracks in 1941. Today the name of the Krabbenkamper Straße Silker Weiche is reminiscent of this former railway system

Until the expansion of the Hamburg - Berlin railway line in the 1990s, remnants of former railway systems for loading agricultural products could still be found on both sides of the railway tracks. Around 1900 a narrow-gauge field railway connected Krabbenkamp with Gut Schönau bei Ohe, which belonged to the Bismarck family, and the Fürst-Bismarck-Quelle . The field railway was reloaded here in a multi-track loading station onto wagons of the Royal Prussian State Railway . While the loading area was south of the railway line around 1880, on an area that is now used as a football field, it was marked on the maps of the Deutsche Reichsbahn north of the main railway tracks in the 1930s, right next to the Silk block . The narrow-gauge operation was probably stopped during the war years. On the Reichsbahnkarte from 1947, only the standard-gauge loading platform can be found. The last visible remains of the facility and the Silk block were removed during the upgrading work for high-speed traffic on the line in the 1990s. The name Silk comes from the Silk estate further west. In Gut Schönau there are still tracks of the field railway embedded in the pavement. The former route is now a hiking trail, on which remains of the gravel bed can still be found in a few places. In Krabbenkamp, ​​the street name Silker Weiche is evidence of the earlier railway systems.
