history

The municipality was already settled in the Neolithic , as can be seen from archaeological finds.

Kreien was first mentioned in a document in 1271. The place name comes from the Old Slavic kraj for land and means rural place .

Wilsen was first mentioned in a document as Wilssne in 1293. The place name probably comes from the Old Slavic vlŭg for humid and means humid place .

The district Wilsener Mühle was incorporated into the municipal area in 1939 with the 8th implementation ordinance for the law on Greater Hamburg and other land consolidations ; she had previously belonged to Jännersdorf .

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent municipalities Hof Kreien (also Kreien, Hof) and Wilsen were incorporated.
