history

Schretstaken was founded in 1407 and belonged to the Hanseatic City of Lübeck as an exclave from 1452 until 1937 . Through the Greater Hamburg Law , Schretstaken came to the Duchy of Lauenburg in 1937. On April 1, 1939, the community was re-formed through the merger of Groß Schretstaken (1933: 213 inhabitants) and Klein Schretstaken (1933: 44 inhabitants).

However, the city of Lübeck remained the owner of approx. 215 hectares of forest in two separate sections: Ohlenwegen , 85 hectares, and Riepenholz , 130 hectares.Scretstaken was an independent forest district until 1973, but is now looked after by the Lübeck Forestry Office Behlendorf . The forester's house Schretstaken on the road to Talkau burned down in February 1978 and was demolished in 1980.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In gold an obliquely left blue wavy bar, above a green deciduous tree with a black trunk, below a green boar feather placed obliquely to the left, covered by a leaping black boar with silver tusks turned to the left."

The wave bar symbolizes the Schiebenitz, a stream of the place. The other motifs show the long hunting tradition of the place. The oak in the upper half of the coat of arms stands for the forest stands of the place, which at the same time serve as a nutritional basis and a refuge for the wild boars. Today, however, the boar pen is only of museum significance.

Municipality flag
