About this picture

The Ostholstein district is a district in the state of Schleswig-Holstein .

geography

The district area essentially comprises the eastern part of the Wagrien peninsula in the Schleswig-Holstein hill country , which protrudes into the Baltic Sea between the Bay of Kiel and the Bay of Lübeck, as well as the offshore island of Fehmarn , which is connected to the mainland by the Fehmarnsund Bridge as part of the Vogelfluglinie . The neighboring districts are in the west of the Plön and Segeberg districts , in the south the independent city of Lübeck and the Stormarn district . The highest point is the Bungsberg near Schönwalde ( 168  m above sea  level ). The bottom of the Hemmelsdorfer See is at 39.10 m below sea level, the deepest cryptodepression in Germany.

The Ostholstein district, together with the Danish Storstrøms Office, forms the Fehmarnbelt European region , in which cross-border projects can receive special funding.

history

The Ostholstein district was created on April 26, 1970 as part of the district reform in Schleswig-Holstein from the districts of Oldenburg in Holstein and Eutin (former principality of Lübeck ). It is the circle in Schleswig-Holstein, where the proportion of office-free cities and communities is greatest. The layout of the communities in the old district of Eutin is related to the administrative structures in the former Grand Duchy of Oldenburg .

economy

In the Future Atlas 2016 , the Ostholstein district was ranked 306 out of 402 districts and urban districts in Germany, making it one of the regions with “future risks”.

The economy is shaped by tourism , especially in the Baltic seaside resorts of Heiligenhafen , Grömitz , Scharbeutz , Timmendorfer Strand and the island of Fehmarn .

traffic

The most important traffic axis through the Ostholstein district is the Vogelfluglinie between Hamburg and Copenhagen with a ferry connection between Puttgarden on the island of Fehmarn and Rødby on the Danish island of Lolland . The German part of the Vogelfluglinie is the Lübeck – Puttgarden railway line or federal road 207 and the northern end of federal motorway 1 .

The political discussion about the planned Fehmarnbelt link between Fehmarn and Lolland, which should bring about a further improvement of the connections between the metropolitan region of Hamburg and the Öresund region , is also connected with the Vogelfluglinie .
