history

The Stockter Harbor

The place Stöckte was first mentioned in a document in 1252 as "Stokede".

The Stöckte volunteer fire brigade , founded in 1877, celebrated its 125th anniversary in 2002. Since then she has been responsible for fire protection and general help, especially at the local level. The Stöckte youth fire brigade was founded in 1973 and celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2013. Two founding members are still active in the operations department of this fire brigade today. On May 21, 2016, the children's fire department was launched as a department of the Stöckte volunteer fire department.

The men's choir "Augusta" Stöckte was able to start operating in 1889. A guest performance by Johannes Brahms from Hamburg as choirmaster has been handed down. In 1964 the choral society changed its name to the mixed choir "Augusta" Stöckte after the first female members were accepted. Due to the decline in the number of choir members, in 1980 the choir from the neighboring town of Fly Mountain was merged . The association was now called Singgemeinschaft Stöckte - Fly Mountain . After another merger with the choir from the neighboring town of Hoopte , the local choir has been called Choir Community Elbdeich since October 26, 2006 .

The sports club MTV Stöckte was founded in 1914 and became part of the Hansa-Sportverein Stöckte in 1972 . The local carnival association Faslamsbrüder Stöckte has its roots in 1949 and was founded in 1977 as a registered association.

On July 1, 1972, Stöckte was incorporated into the district town of Winsen (Luhe).

Stöckter harbor

In the years 1509 and 1529 the dike broke south-east of the later Hoopter Schanze, creating a brackish. In the spring of 1814 there was another breach of the dike. After the wing dike was built between the Elbe and Ilmenau, the brackish was made navigable and expanded to its present size in 1887/1888. In 1899, the August Eckhoff shipyard, which still exists today, was established, which initially manufactured wooden ships and later steel ships.

Initially, the port was a way for Stöckter and Hoopter vegetable farmers to transport their goods to Hamburg. The handling of coal also took place here, which is why a storage shed was built on the south bank in 1905. In 1926 the Bardowicks carpentry had a crane erected, and in the mid-1930s a crane on the west bank was commissioned by Stöckter haulage contractor Bernhard Rulfs. From then on, wood from Finland for the Eppen paper factory in Winsen, sugar from Cuba for the jam factory in Winsen, and sugar from the Uelzen sugar factory , peat and bricks were handled. In 1938 a silo was built on the south bank for master miller Benthack from Winsen. After the Second World War , the British occupying forces had several cubic meters of wood shipped from the Steller Buchwedel to England . The silo was expanded in 1955. After the severe flood in 1962 which was from 1969 to 1976 Ilmenau barrage built on the Ilmenau mouth.

In 1983 the port of Stöckter was designated as a port by the Waterways and Shipping Directorate North and has been a private transshipment port since then. Since the 1990s, the focus has been on leisure boats. In 2012 the storage shed was expanded and converted into an event room. The silo has been converted since 2018.

coat of arms

Stöckte coat of arms
Blazon : "In silver (white) over a blue corrugated shield base, three green leafed cattails."
Justification of the coat of arms: The Stöckter coat of arms with three cattails in the water refers to the Winsener Marsch and the former agricultural source of income from thatch cutting for the roofers in the area.

Regular events

The largest Faslams parade in Northern Germany takes place every year in Stöckte on the Sunday before Rose Monday and leads once to Winsen (Luhe) and back. The national reputation of the festival attracts around 50,000 visitors annually. In 2006 the state horticultural show took place in Winsen (Luhe) and thus also in Stöckte. The day of Lower Saxony in 2008 was the event in the urban community.

Infrastructure

The boat harbors and the Stöckter harbor offer berths for sport boats and are often the starting point for some boat trips on the Elbe between Hamburg and Lauenburg. The Stöckter Hafen eV association has been founded here since 2011, with the aim of promoting the level of awareness of this port area.

There is also the possibility of taking a bus. This facilitates access to the Winsener train station.
