The Pinneberg district around the city of the same name is the smallest in area and at the same time the most populous district in the state of Schleswig-Holstein and belongs to the Hamburg metropolitan region . The district administration has its official seat in Elmshorn , the official district town is the city of Pinneberg . The district was created by the "Ordinance on the organization of the district and district authorities, as well as the district representation in the province of Schleswig-Holstein " of September 22, 1867 and emerged from the rule of Pinneberg .
The district is considered to be one of the largest closed tree nursery areas in the world. The Pinneberg district is represented four times in the list of German municipalities, sorted according to population density : with Elmshorn in 26th place, Pinneberg in 48th place, Schenefeld in 52nd place and Uetersen in 87th place. These four cities are roughly on the same line on the way from Elmshorn via Schenefeld to Hamburg. There are many densely populated communities right on the city limits of Hamburg. In the north and the same way the circle but after a rural character remains largely, especially office Hörnerkirchen , Office Rantzau , Elmshorn-Land and Office Geest and march Südholstein .
geography
The Pinneberg district is located in the south of the country and borders in the west and north on the Steinburg district , in the east on the Segeberg district , in the southeast on the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg and in the southwest on the Lower Saxony district of Stade . The Elbe island Bishorster Sand, the largest part of Pagensand and, since 1932, the North Sea island of Helgoland also belong to the Pinneberg district .
geology
The district area is partly in the Elbmarsch. It was created by sand deposits within a bay, which after the Ice Age reached up to the Geestrand, where fens later formed due to the sea level rising again.
The highest point in the Pinneberg district with 61.3 m is the edge of a blasting crater on Heligoland, which was named “ Pinneberg ” in 1998 by a regular sports group .
A geological feature that is under nature protection is the Liether Kalkgrube in Klein Nordende . There layers of earth from the Permian were pushed to the surface by a salt dome, so that today both the limestone cap lies on the salt dome and a smaller lignite seam is on the surface. The Liether Kalkgrube is also an important site for fossils and Stone Age tools.
The landscape protection area Holmer Sandberge between Holm , Wedel and Appen consists of dunes in the glacial valley of the Elbe, which are now forested.
Haseldorfer March
The Haseldorfer Marsch on the Elbe stretches from Wedel to Pinnau , a river that flows into the Elbe, and with its fertile soil forms the basis for agriculture and fruit growing. The Seestermüher Marsch is also part of this cultural and natural landscape that was shaped by the Ice Ages and the Elbe River. Up to the dike, which began in the 11th century, the landscape changed significantly due to storm surges and the shifting of the river Elbe. But even later, entire villages were lost - such as Bishorst , which had to be abandoned in the middle of the 18th century after a storm surge. And in January 1976, a storm surge broke the dike near Hetlingen , as a result of which the entire Haseldorfer Marsch was flooded.
Today the freshwater mud flats outside the diked area are of particular importance for nature and bird protection. There is also the Haseldorfer gray heron colony , a species protection area in Haseldorf. It is the largest and one of the most important breeding colonies of the gray heron in Schleswig-Holstein.
Seestermüher March
The Seestermüher Marsch extends between Krückau and Pinnau . It is almost entirely a landscape protection and water protection area . In the Eschschallen in the Seestermüher foreland are a number of rare and threatened animal species.
Moor and forest areas
In the eastern district in particular there were extensive moorland areas, some of which are still preserved at Bokel and Langeln . In the south are the protected bogs Buttermoor / Butterbargsmoor , Holmmoor and the Tävsmoor / Haselauer Moor . The Himmelmoor near Quickborn is one of the four moors in the state where peat is still extracted. Contiguous forest areas are still the Rantzauer Forst and the Heeder Tannen.
Flora and fauna
The checkerboard flower , which is rare due to its high water quality requirements, blooms in Hetlingen and has therefore become a symbol of the community.
history
The district administration has its seat in Elmshorn and not in the eponymous Pinneberg . After years of controversial political discussion about the renovation of the previous district administration or a new building at another location in Pinneberg, the district council decided with a narrow majority to move to Elmshorn to the empty Talkline office building.
prehistory
The area was already settled in prehistoric times, as evidenced by burial mounds near Appen , Mantelingen and near the Heeder Tannen in the western district area. The Ochsenweg , a prehistoric long-distance trade route to Denmark, also ran through the district from Wedel via Uetersen to Elmshorn.
The area of the Pinneberg district is part of the area of the historic Stormarn district of the County of Holstein, which was awarded to Count Adolf I from the house of Schauenburg in 1111 . The Pinneberger line of the house of Schauenburg was created on the basis of various inheritance divisions. After the other lines had died out and Christian I of Denmark was enfeoffed with the other parts of Holstein, the County of Holstein-Schauenburg was established here , which existed until 1640 and only then fell to the Danish King Christian IV . After the interim division into the county of Rantzau and the rule of Pinneberg , the Pinneberg district emerged from these two areas as well as the Haseldorf, Haselau, Flottbek, Seestermühe and Uetersen monastery districts in 1867.
Administrative history
The scope of the Pinneberg district was changed several times between 1890 and 1970:
- On April 1, 1890, the communities of Bahrenfeld , Othmarschen and Övelgönne were incorporated into the independent city of Altona .
- On July 1, 1927, the communities Blankenese , Eidelstedt , Groß Flottbek , Klein Flottbek , Lurup , Nienstedten , Osdorf , Rissen , Stellingen-Langenfelde and Sülldorf were incorporated into the independent city of Altona.
- On October 1, 1932, the island community of Helgoland , which had previously formed its own district, was incorporated into the Pinneberg district.
- On April 1, 1937, the Lokstedt community , to which Niendorf and Schnelsen had belonged since 1927, was reclassified to the State of Hamburg .
- On January 1, 1970, the two communities Friedrichsgabe and Garstedt were merged with the communities Harksheide and Glashütte from the Stormarn district to form the city of Norderstedt , which was assigned to the Segeberg district.

Uetersen monastery and aristocratic seats
Uetersen Monastery was probably founded as a nunnery in the 13th century, and evidence has been given of the existence of the monastery since the middle of the 14th century, when knight Heinrich II von Barmstede donated part of his property to the construction of the monastery. The monastery was burned down in 1658 during an attack by Swedish troops, whereupon the landlord Detlef von Ahlefeldt asked the Danish king to build a fortification in Hetlingen on the Elbe. Then the Hetlinger Schanze was built in 1659 , which could not be taken despite several attacks by the Swedes and existed until its partial demolition in 1768.
Holstein breeding also began in the monastery, today a popular and successful event horse at tournaments.
At the same time that the monastery in Uetersen was founded, other aristocratic residences were also established in what is now the district. For example, the knights of Barmstede founded a fortification in the Krückau in today's Rantzauer See in Barmstedt , the remains of which are still preserved on the castle island . The original mansion burned down in the 18th century, so that the ensemble that is preserved today can only come up with the successor building. In addition, the former district court with its outbuildings, which dates from the 19th century, has been preserved on the island. The castle prison is now used as a restaurant, you can dine in the cells.
Also in the 12th century a castle was built in Pinneberg, which was conquered by the Schauenburg Count Adolf VIII at the end of the 14th century . Pinneberg was already a place of justice at the end of the 14th century. In the middle of the 18th century, the baroque Drostei was built as the administrative center on the site of the renaissance castle built in 1472 .
In Haseldorf , too, the first castle in today's district was built in the 12th century, built by the knights of Haseldorf and destroyed by Wallenstein in 1627. The current successor building dates back to 1804. In Wedel , too , the remains of a castle can still be seen, although it was abandoned around 1400.
After the Haseldorf estate was divided around 1550, Seestermühe became its own estate district. Around 1700, the construction of a moat and the castle of the Count's family von Ahlefeldt began, which, however, burned out completely in the construction phase in 1713. In the following years a manor house was built, which, together with the land, was sold in 1752 by the heavily indebted von Ahlefeldt family to the Count of Kielmannsegg.
National Socialism and World War II
In the Reichstag elections in July 1932 , the NSDAP achieved 51.9% (35,255) of the votes in the Pinneberg district, in November 1932 46.6% (31,326) and in March 1933 53.4% (38,508). The SPD achieved 26.1% (17,726), 24.2% (16,284) and 22.2% (15,904), respectively, the KPD 11.4% (7,717), 13.9% (9,377) and 11.6% (8,308). Elmshorn and Uetersen were strongholds of the communist and social democratic resistance movement in southern Schleswig-Holstein during the Nazi era. In December 1932, the deployment of 600 SS supporters was successfully prevented. In 1933 there was a demonstration against the National Socialists with over 750 participants in Uetersen. After the Pinneberg district had already lost the southern parts of the district to the city of Altona through the Gross-Altona Act in 1927 , further changes were made through the Greater Hamburg Act in 1937 ( Lokstedt with Niendorf and Schnelsen ) in favor of Hamburg.
During the National Socialist era, there was a branch of the Neuengamme concentration camp in Wedel , which is commemorated by a stele on Bundesstrasse 431. Due to its proximity to Hamburg, several places in the district suffered severe damage during the Second World War, including the industrial cities of Elmshorn and Wedel . On April 9, 1940, the Luftwaffe flew the attack on Denmark and Norway from Uetersen airfield , part of the large-scale German company Weserübungen . It was the first combat deployment of parachute troops from the air in this war. On the same day, over 100 other transport planes take off from the air base. They flew the second wave in conquering the airfields in Aalborg and the airfield in Stavanger, Norway .
Economic history
In Wedel , due to its location on Ochsenweg , a large cattle market took place early on, and the ox market is still held in the city today in memory of them. As a sign of market rights, the city has a Roland , which in its current form dates from the 17th century.
The tree nursery industry, which is still important today, came into being at the end of the 18th century when Baron Caspar Voght founded a tree nursery in Klein-Flottbek , which was then in the Pinneberg area. The need for tree nurseries arose at the time mainly through the coupling and the curtains that were created in the course of this. In the middle of the 19th century, due to its proximity to Hamburg, the district was so well connected to the rail network and thus also to the port of Hamburg that the area's tree nurseries were able to reach supraregional markets. At the end of the 19th century rose growing and fruit growing were added. With the Seestermüher lemon apple, which is now quite rare , the district also has its own apple variety.
With the ILO engine works , formerly the largest two-stroke engine manufacturer in Germany, an important industrial company was also located in the district. The company was founded in 1911 in Altona under the name of Norddeutsche Maschinenfabrik GmbH and specialized in track and bridge construction; since 1913 it has been based in Pinneberg . The company's success began with the development of a two-stroke engine in 1918.In the mid-1950s, with 1,500 employees in two plants, it had developed into the largest employer in the Pinneberg district and the largest manufacturer of two-stroke engines in Germany. The company existed until 1990 when it had to be closed due to the economic situation in the engine industry. In the north of the district, oil was also produced until the mid-1970s, street names such as the oil field road in Brande still bear witness to the former oil production.
The district's industry, which was mainly based in Elmshorn and Uetersen, was not only dependent on the Krückau and Pinnau as a waterway, it had also led to the two rivers being among the most polluted bodies of water in Germany until the 1970s. In the 1940s, Uetersen was the traffic junction of the Pinneberg district. From the Uetersen airport , the district was connected to the international air freight network and the Uetersen-Copenhagen air route was set up. The Uetersen-Tornesch railway , which is only six kilometers long , had the largest volume of traffic in the district; in 1941 alone, this railway line carried over a million passengers and around 80,000 tons of freight.
In 1975 the Spar head offices in Hamburg Süd and Hamburg Nord merged to form Pfeiffer & Schmidt OHG, based in Schenefeld, and formed the Spar head office for all operations. The head office and a large central warehouse were located in Schenefeld. In September 2005 Edeka took over Spar. On March 31, 2011, the location was given up by Edeka.
politics
The official seat of the district administration is Pinneberg . This is where the district council meets. The district administration was relocated to Elmshorn at the end of 2011 with the exception of the specialist services for road traffic, road construction and road safety .

District administrators
The district administrator heads the district administration. After the surrender in 1945, Schleswig-Holstein had a dual administration. The district was governed by the political district administrator and the (senior) district director. The political district administrators were Walter Damm (SPD) and Hermann Schinkel. Heinrich Stühmeyer was senior district director and Alfred Bethke district director. After the two-way administration was abolished on April 19, 1950, the district was again ruled solely by the district administrator.

Partnerships
Pinneberg County has partner relations with East Sussex County in the United Kingdom and Zelenogradsk Raion in Russia .
The friendly relationship with East Sussex County began with a cultural exchange in 1956 and was formally closed in 1980. There is a lively exchange in the areas of sport, education and culture as well as between different institutions in both regions. Since the 1980s, four Pinneberg parishes have partnerships with parishes in East Sussex, namely Appen with Polegate, Bönningstedt with Seaford , Ellerhoop with Hurst Green and Quickborn with Uckfield.
The partnership with Zelenogradsk (formerly Cranz) exists at the suggestion of the district council and was concluded in 1991 in order to build a bridge to the Kaliningrad Oblast . Since 1951 there has been a sponsorship for the Fischhausen district community (today Primorsk ), the area of which is largely identical to the Zelenogradsk Rayon. Today there is not only an exchange between business enterprises, there are also activities such as visits by students from Zelenogradsk in Pinneberg or the support of leisure and educational projects in the rayon.
coat of arms
Blazon : "The silver Holstein nettle leaf in red, topped with a stylized green fir tree that has golden roots."
The free-floating fir tree with the golden roots in the coat of arms, which was designed by A. Paul Weber and approved by the British military government on January 11, 1946, is an indication of the tree nurseries that are very relevant for the economy. The silver nettle leaf is derived from the coat of arms of the Counts of Schauenburg, who have long determined the fate of the region.
flag
Blazon : "The county flag shows the middle of a white top with a blue and limited with a red stripe down the cloth slightly back shifted to the rod side circle coat of arms."
economy
In the Future Atlas 2016 , the Pinneberg district was ranked 180th out of 402 districts, municipal associations and urban districts in Germany, making it one of the regions with a “balanced risk-opportunity mix” for the future.
The Pinneberg district is the largest contiguous tree nursery area in the world and is also known for two large rose suppliers. Of 442 tree nurseries with 3,000 jobs in the state, around 318 are in the Pinneberg district, which cultivate more than 3,600 hectares. Rose Tantau in Uetersen and Rosen Kordes in Sparrieshoop dominate the world market for cut roses with their breeds. Due to the climate, the roses are not raised in the Pinneberg district: after leaving their Holstein “nursery”, the roses are sent to South America and Africa, where they are raised on plantations, harvested and air freighted to wholesalers around the world. Some of them then find their way back to flower shops in the Pinneberg district via Dutch rose exchanges.
The economy of the district is not only characterized by tree nurseries. With around 17,650 companies from 17 different branches of industry, around 28 percent of Schleswig-Holstein companies come from the district. After the Stormarn district , the Pinneberg district has the second highest industrial density in the country. More than 20 of the companies based in Kreis are world market leaders in their field or have a high share of the world market.
With the city of Elmshorn there is also an important industrial location in the district, where the oatmeal and muesli manufacturer Peter Kölln and the sausage manufacturer Döllinghareico, among others , are located. Kraft Foods and Teppich Kibek as well as the petrochemical company Tamoil , one of the top-selling companies in the state, are also characteristic of the city .

Electric vehicles are used as taxis or for transport. The island can be reached from Büsum , Cuxhaven or Hamburg . There is also an airfield on the island , for which a pedestrian traffic light has even been set up on the beach.
Since the district lies on the Elbe , the Krückau and the Pinnau , it has access to three federal waterways . The tide-dependent rivers Pinnau and Krückau can be closed at their mouths with a barrage to protect the marshland from storm surges. The Krückau flows in the district through the Rantzauer See and from Elmshorn is only navigable for smaller boats. Since the construction of the Pinneberger western bypass, the Pinnau has only been navigable from Uetersen to the mouth of the federal waterway. After the Uetersen harbor was dredged in 2005, the river is the only one that is still in economic use. It is now mainly used to transport paper raw materials and large ship winches , boiler systems and other custom-made products that cannot be transported as heavy transport over the roads.
There are also two curiosities in the district: the oldest swing bridge still in operation and the smallest ferry in Germany. The swing bridge over the Pinnau in Moorrege was built in 1887. The hand-operated Kronsnest ferry runs in the summer months on the Krückau between Seester and Neuendorf in the Steinburg district.

License Plate
On July 1, 1956, the district was assigned the distinctive sign PI when the vehicle registration number that is still valid today was introduced . It is still issued today. Vehicles registered in the district of Pinneberg cause the greatest damage in road traffic compared with the other districts of Schleswig-Holstein. Between 2011 and 2015, 71 out of 1,000 registered vehicles caused an accident. The average damage caused here is EUR 3,068. Pinneberg drivers are therefore rather unpopular road users, as a non-representative survey by the SHZ, which was published on March 19, 2017, shows.
