The Aukrug Nature Park begins in the northeast . The Stör , the third longest river in Schleswig-Holstein, flows through the Steinburg district and flows into the Elbe there.
history
The name "Steinburg" comes from the protective and stronghold castle, the Steinburg , which was first mentioned in a document in 1307 and was built by the Counts of Holstein . It was the seat of the bailiff, who held this office as a hereditary fief, and thus the administrative seat until the 17th century of the office Steinburg was. The Steinburg bailiffs, who continued to expand their position in their own interest, came increasingly into conflict with the counts' sovereigns. After the castle was demolished around 1630, the Steinburg office was administered first from Glückstadt and then from Itzehoe .
During the Thirty Years' War Steinburg was billeted and plundered several times, but mostly there was no major destruction. In 1657 during the Danish-Swedish War (1657–1658), however, there were large pillages by Swedish soldiers.
In the Napoleonic wars , Steinburg was only indirectly affected by transit and billeting as well as financial burdens. From 1807, Itzehoe became the brief residence of Prince Elector Wilhelm I of Hesse-Kassel, who had fled into exile from Napoléon .
Before the Schleswig-Holstein uprising , in which a large part of Steinburg's residents took part in the German-minded Schleswig-Holstein movement, the Holstein Assembly of Estates met in Itzehoe from 1835 to 1848 and again from 1852 to 1863 , thereby establishing the story of parliamentarism in Schleswig-Holstein. After the German-Danish War , the Duchy of Holstein and thus Steinburg initially fell to Austria , whose governor Ludwig Karl Wilhelm von Gablenz finally called the Holstein meeting of the estates together for the last time on June 11, 1866. However, a conference was prevented by the side effects of the German-German war . After the end of the war, the Duchy of Holstein , including Steinburg, finally fell to Prussia.
Through the "Ordinance concerning the organization of the district and district authorities, as well as the district representation in the province of Schleswig-Holstein" of September 22, 1867, the Steinburg office, the cities of Itzehoe, Wilster, Crempe and Glückstadt as well as numerous other localities became the Steinburg district united. The boundary definition of 1867 lasted until the passing of the second law on the reorganization of municipal and district boundaries and judicial districts of December 23, 1969.
The Soviet war cemeteries in the Steinburg district bear witness to the traces of the Second World War .
With effect from April 26, 1970, the communities of Aasbüttel , Agethorst , Besdorf , Bokelrehm , Bokhorst , Gribbohm , Holstenniendorf , Nienbüttel , Nutteln , Oldenborstel , Puls , Schenefeld , Siezbüttel , Vaale , Vaalermoor , Wacken and Warringholz became part of the Rendsburg district Steinburg incorporated and assigned to the office of Schenefeld . As a result, the district grew by approx. 120 km² to today's size.
Controversy about the new building of the district administration
The district administration is housed in various buildings in Itzehoe, including three neighboring houses on Viktoriastraße: in the former train station hotel, in the Bollhardt building and in the former district office. The district planned a demolition and a new construction of modern buildings at this point, only the listed district office should remain.
- This was prevented in 2014 in the district's first referendum.
- The facades and roofs of Viktoriastraße were placed under monument protection as a whole by the Schleswig-Holstein State Office for Monument Preservation .
- In June 2017, the Steinburg district filed a lawsuit against the monument protection.
- In April 2018, the district council approved the preservation of the facades.
