geography

Geographical location

Stülper Huk nature reserve

The municipality of Selmsdorf is five kilometers east of Lübeck and is part of the Hamburg metropolitan region . In the north-west and north, the municipality is bounded by the lower Trave , the Pötenitzer Wiek and the Dassower See . In the southwest, a terminal moraine rises up to 83 meters above sea ​​level . One of the larger landfills in Europe is also located here, the Ihlenberg landfill .

Selmsdorf is surrounded by the neighboring communities of Lübeck (partly sea border) in the north, Dassow in the northeast, Schönberg in the southeast and Lüdersdorf in the southwest.

The northern part of the municipality is particularly interesting for nature lovers. The banks of the Trave and the Dassower See as well as the idyllic district of Teschow on the peninsula of the same name are connected by well-developed hiking and cycling trails. From a vantage point near Teschow you can see the opposite Dummersdorfer Ufer with the Stülper Huk and the Skandinavienkai ferry port in Lübeck-Travemünde, as well as the Pötenitzer Wiek and the Priwall, three kilometers north of it . In the village itself is the large pond , which is also known as the peat bog (lake).

About one kilometer west of Selmsdorf is the village desert Bardowiek , which belongs to the community and was razed during the GDR era .

Community structure

The districts of Hof Selmsdorf, Lauen, Sülsdorf , Teschow and Zarnewenz belong to Selmsdorf .

history

Until 1945

Atonement stone in Sülsdorf
One of three milestones

The place laid out as Angerdorf appeared for the first time in 1292 as "Celmerstorpe" in the Ratzeburg hoof register. The farming village of Selmsdorf, laid out as an anger village, existed for more than five centuries. Around 1825 there was an increased settlement of craftsmen, traders, workers and innkeepers. The proximity to the Hanseatic city of Lübeck was probably the main reason for this development. Selmsdorf is located on the old trade route of the Hanseatic League Lübeck- Wismar (today's federal highway 105 ). An atonement stone made of Gotland limestone erected at the approach to Teschow in 1398 is still reminiscent of a medieval murder. In 1584 the Ratzeburg court and chamber councilor Daniel Zöllner acquired the farm of the farmer Hinrick Vittensee in Selmsdorf. He enlarged it in 1604 by adding another position and is therefore considered the founder of the later Selmsdorf domain. The Selmsdorf Church was built in 1864 in the Gothic style with bricks using yellow bricks. After Schönberg, Selmsdorf was the second largest town in the Principality of Ratzeburg and belonged to Mecklenburg-Strelitz until the two Mecklenburgs were united in 1934 .

The districts of Lauen and Teschow were first mentioned in 1194 in Isfried's partition agreement as Lewen and Thescowe .

After 1945 until today

On July 1, 1950, the previously independent communities of Lauen, Sülsdorf, Teschow and Zarnewenz were incorporated.

The entire place Selmsdorf was until 1989 due to the proximity to the inner German border in the restricted area . Visitors could not enter the place without special permission. The northernmost border crossing point between the GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany was in Selmsdorf (today's industrial park “An der Trave”).

From 1952 to 1994 Selmsdorf belonged to the Grevesmühlen district (until 1990 in the GDR district of Rostock , 1990–1994 in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ). Since 1994 the community has been in the Northwest Mecklenburg district .

coat of arms

Selmsdorf coat of arms
Blazon : “Split; in front, in red, a silver high cross surmounted by a golden prince's crown; a green ear of wheat in the back. "

The coat of arms and the flag were designed by Roland Bornschein from Wismar. It was approved together with the flag on October 23, 1997 by the Ministry of the Interior and registered under No. 136 of the coat of arms of the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Justification of the coat of arms: The coat of arms combines a symbol of power with a symbol with economic reference. While the high cross, raised by a princely crown, the coat of arms of the principality of Ratzeburg, reminds of the earlier affiliation of the places to the principality that emerged from the secularized monastery of the diocese of Ratzeburg in 1648, the ear of wheat symbolizes the main occupation of the inhabitants, agriculture.

flag

The flag is evenly striped lengthways in red and yellow. In the middle of the flag is the municipal coat of arms, two thirds of the height of the red and yellow stripes. The length of the flag is related to the height as 5: 3.

Official seal

The official seal shows the municipal coat of arms with the inscription "GEMEINDE SELMSDORF • LANDKREIS NORDWESTMECKLENBURG".
