coat of arms

Blazon : “Divided diagonally to the left by gold and green. Above a frontal red ox head, below three silver oak leaves side by side. "

With the red ox head, the coat of arms indicates that the municipality of Kropp is not far from the old Heerweg, via which the oxen, which were fattened in the Duchy of Schleswig and Jutland , were driven annually in large trains to the markets to the south. That is why the Heerweg is often referred to as the ox path in popular usage . The silver oak leaves , golden in the flag, remind us that the municipal area and the adjacent areas of the so-called Kropper Heide were overgrown with oak forests in historical times. It is claimed that early modern Amsterdam was built on stilts taken from the Kropper oak stands.

Hamburg cemetery

The so-called “Hamburger Friedhof” on the southern outskirts, which was closed in 1974, has left 649 dead. In 1942, 519 people lived in the “Heil- und Pflegeenstalten mbH in Kropp” (today “Stiftung Diakoniewerk Kropp”). The institutions were confiscated and the residents were transported to other sanatoriums and nursing homes in order to make room for the sick from the Hamburg welfare institutions, who then served as accommodation for foreign workers.

The people were difficult to care for and the death rate high. The Kropper cemeteries could not accommodate the many dead. Around 400 residents of the institutions were buried in the village cemetery, and the “Hamburg cemetery” was set up on the southern outskirts for others.

The "Hamburger Friedhof" is to remain as a memorial park.
