Moorrege ( Low German : Moorreeg ) is a municipality in the Pinneberg district in Schleswig-Holstein . The districts of Bauland, Heidrege, Klevendeich, Moorrege and Oberglinde are part of today's municipal area. The districts of Bauland and Klevendeich are located in the Haseldorfer Marsch , while the districts of Heidrege, Moorrege and Oberglinde are located on the Geest and have increasingly merged with one another in the course of the 20th century.

Geography and traffic

Moorrege lies on the Pinnau and borders the city of Uetersen and the communities of Appen , Heist , Haselau and Neuendeich . The federal road 431 and the historic Ochsenweg run through the community. Moorrege is directly connected to the towns of Pinneberg , Uetersen, Wedel and Elmshorn as well as to the Haseldorfer Marsch by several bus lines .

history

Moorrege was first mentioned in a document in 1285. At that time the place was called "Mor", which probably refers to the boggy environment. The name Moorrege means "row of houses on the moor". The early Bronze Age burial mound De Danzenbarg on the Pinnau is one of the earliest indications of settlement in the municipality.

In the Uetersener church book the place is mentioned in 1712 as "Mohrrege".

On April 1, 1948, the Uetersen Land Office was founded and renamed the Moorrege Office in 1953 . At the same time the administration was moved to Moorrege.

The St. Michaelis Church in Moorrege was built in 1960.

Economic history

1803 Moorrege had 578 inhabitants; their number rose to around 1700 by 1910. The main reason for this was the creation of jobs by the Alsen cement factory, which was located here until 1930. This was also taken over by the Glinder Tonkuhlen, from which clay was extracted as early as the 13th century. Therefore, there was a brick factory for a long time . Two shipyards on the Pinnau, one of them the Johan Hinrich Jacobs shipyard from 1898 to 1960, were located in Moorrege for a long time. One of the largest ewer , the " Petrine ", was launched in 1909 at the JH Jacobs shipyard in today's Werftweg with a payload of 64 tons . The connection with the water is still maintained by the coastal shipping companies based here.
