history

The Krusenkoppel, located between Niemannsweg, Karolinenweg and Düsternbrooker Weg, south of the Düsternbrooker wood , belonged to the farmer Heinrich Wilhelm Kruse from 1856 (October 28, 1810 to December 10, 1896).

At the corner of Düsternbrooker Weg 81 and Karolinenweg 2 there was a multi-storey building from 1824 until the Second World War , which was operated as the Hotel Düsternbrook for several years . Kruse also lived here as a pensioner.

Kruse bequeathed the land and the building in 1883 by will of Kiel on the condition that it is "a period of 100 years, not parceled, but remain as unseparated whole and should not be even partially realize all." Kruse was on the Südfriedhof a Honor grave .

In 1900, the city of Kiel converted the area previously used for agriculture into a park in the style of an English landscape garden and the population was given free access. In Low German it was soon only called "Kruse sien Koppel", or Krusekoppel, from which the current name Krusenkoppel is derived.
