history

Megalithic grave near Reinfeld

Reinfeld's foundation goes back to the year 1186, when at the instigation of Count Adolf III. von Schauenburg , Cistercian monks from the Loccum monastery settled here and founded the Reynevelde monastery .

The monks created numerous ponds that they used to raise carp . The carp ponds , which were up to 60 at that time , were not enough to meet the monastery’s fish requirements, so that larger quantities of sea ​​fish had to be bought from Lübeck because the Cistercians were not allowed to eat meat. Thanks to the foresight of its abbots, the monastery quickly developed into one of the richest and most respected in northern Germany with extensive land holdings extending to the Baltic states and valuable holdings in the Lüneburg salt works . This changed due to the secularization in the course of the Reformation . In 1581 the monastery was given to Duke Johann the Elder. J. von Plön handed over.

After the monastery was demolished in the 16th century, a princely palace was built on the same site from 1599 to 1604. The remains of the monastery complex were used as building material for the separated duke. The handsome monastery church was completely destroyed in 1635 when the dam in the dammed Herrenteich pond broke. In its place, a much smaller church was built on the Eichberg in 1636, safe from flooding.

Since Johann's death in 1622, Reinfeld belonged to the small duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plön , which from 1676 to 1729 also included northern Als and parts of Ærø (Norburg-Plön). When the Plön line of dukes died out in 1761, the duchy fell to King Frederick V of Denmark .

Reinfeld Castle was demolished in 1775, and the remaining stones were used to build an administration building that was used as a forestry office . From 1762 to 1867 Reinfeld was under Danish rule. The building of the old school, built in 1839 on the site of the former castle, dates from this time.

On August 1, 1865, the Lübeck-Büchener Eisenbahn started operating after a railway line had been built from Hamburg via Bad Oldesloe to Lübeck since 1863 . The station building erected at that time still exists today.

Stumbling stone in memory of Richard Minkwitz

At the end of the Second World War , Germany was gradually occupied. On May 2nd, 1945 British troops (the 3rd Royal Tank Regiment and the 1st Herefordshire Regiment of the 11th Scottish Armored Division, part of the 21st Army Group ) occupied Reinfeld and the neighboring Bad Oldesloe. There was no fighting in Reinfeld. Two days later, Hans-Georg von Friedeburg signed the surrender of all German troops in north-west Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark at Lüneburg on behalf of the last Reich President Karl Dönitz , who had previously left the last Reich government in Flensburg - Mürwik . The unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht followed on May 8, 1945. During the occupation, it was troops of the 15th Scottish Division that enforced the implementation of the British military government .

Since the summer of 2003, the district of Stormarn and thus Reinfeld has also been part of the Hamburg Transport Association (HVV), in which all means of public transport operate at uniform rates.
