history

Preetz around 1895
Town hall from 1871

The burial mounds near Preetz to the north of Preetz testify to the prehistoric settlement of the region .

Between 1167 and 1173 (no exact date possible) the southern Jutland duke Christoph , illegitimate son of the Danish king Waldemar I , and the count von Schauenburg and Holstein Adolf III. - represented because of minority by the Holsteiner Overboden Marcrad I. and the Holsteiner Bruno - a battle. In the context of a phase of weakness in the Holy Roman Empire, it is to be understood as Denmark's first attempt to expand its territory to the south. The battle ended in a draw. In 1185 the municipality of Poretz was first mentioned by Ecbrecht Procensis in the Versus de Vicelino . The name of the city developed from the Wendish of po rece ( on the river ) via Poretzie (1221) and Pretze (1442) to today's Preetz .

Already at the time of the Wende there was a ford over the Schwentine and a connection between Wagrien and Holstein .

The first church was built in 1210 and in 1211 Count Albrecht von Orlamünde founded the Preetz Monastery of the Benedictine Order . He provided the decisive impetus for the development of the place in the Middle Ages. In 1226 Adolf IV von Schauenburg and Holstein renewed the foundation of the monastery and donated it to the nuns. The monastery church was built in 1268. Until 1867, the monastery represented the highest administrative authority and exercised jurisdiction.

The Preetz area developed more and more into a rural center of handicrafts with a focus on shoe production. Around 1850, 160 independent master shoemakers, 360 journeymen and 160 apprentices were working in the city.

In 1852 Preetz received the first street lighting. After the construction of the train station in 1864, the town hall was built in 1871, in front of which the oak planted in 1871 still stands today.

On May 17, 1870, Preetz finally received limited city rights , then in 1901 full city rights .

The city council consists of 27 city representatives who, according to the results of the municipal elections on May 6, 2018, are composed as follows:

coat of arms

Blazon : "By a golden wavy bar divided by blue and red. Above a silver fish, below the silver Holstein nettle leaf."

The fish in the upper part of the coat of arms is said to be the main source of nutrition for the inhabitants of this area. The defensive perch was chosen for this because it is supposed to show the residents' willingness to defend themselves. With the probably higher water level in earlier times, which increased the lakes and rivers in and around the town of Preetz and surrounded the place with swamps , Preetz may have played the role of a refuge.

The blue field represents the water surrounding the city of Preetz.

The middle field indicates the only and important ford in the area in Preetz through the Schwentine . The ford as well as the suitability as a refuge gave the place its former importance and made it appear suitable to relocate the "Marienfeld Monastery" to this place in 1226.

In 1866 the Kiel – Ascheberg railway was opened. Preetz received a station for passenger and freight traffic on this in 1864. Freight traffic was stopped in 1990. The regional connection to Kiel or Lübeck takes place almost every half hour. In 2013 the station was sold to an investor by Deutsche Bahn AG. The first renovation work began in May 2013 and was completed in 2014. As before, there is a DB travel center and a waiting room at the Preetz train station , which are operated by Deutsche Bahn AG. The public toilets and the bicycle parking area will continue to be provided free of charge by the city of Preetz and operated by it. However, the adjacent car park is private property and belongs to the owner of the station.

In 1910 the small railway Kirchbarkau – Preetz – Lütjenburg was put into operation (passenger and goods traffic). As early as 1931, passenger traffic to Kirchbarkau was given up again. In 1938 passenger traffic to Lütjenburg ended , as did all freight traffic. The small train was dismantled.
