history

The L121 was part of the important highway from Kiel to Itzehoe and later the connection from Kiel to Glückstadt . After excavations at the bridge in Innien, Georg Reimer suspected that there was a wooden bridge along the way there before the year 800. In 1633 there was a bridge about the condition of which King Christian IV complained to the Itzehoe monastery. In 1616 Christian IV built the Glückstadt Fortress and in 1632 the Christianspries Fortress at the narrowest point of the Kiel Fjord , the so-called Friedrichsorter Enge . The result was a heavy use of the land connection from Glückstadt to Kiel through ammunition transports and troop marches. At that time, the route was a sandy path, which often had several tracks next to each other in the heather areas. If a track was left, one tried to make a better one. In the villages where it was not possible to extend the route, the road was so badly damaged by the sometimes heavy traffic that when it rained the route became soft and could hardly be used.
