Stolpe is a municipality in the Plön district in Schleswig-Holstein . The Depenau, Nettelau, Bundhorst and Horst estates are located in the municipality, which has existed in its current form since 1974.

Geography and traffic

Stolpe is about 16 km east of Neumünster , 22 km south of Kiel and 20 km west of Plön . Stolpe is located on the Stolper See , which is partially owned by the municipality and through which the Alte Schwentine flows. The place is on the federal highway 21 from Kiel to Bad Segeberg . Stolpe can be reached by bus with the VKP line 410 between Kiel and Bad Segeberg. From 1911 to 1961, Stolpe was the station of the Kleinbahn Kiel – Segeberg , whose tracks were removed in 1962.

history

Archaeological finds show that the area around Stolpe has been inhabited since the Mesolithic .

The name is possibly derived from the old Slavic word stlŭpŭ for column or stand , i.e. from the fish stand in the river, a device for fishing. Other sources derive the word “place protected by palisades”.

The place was in the area of ​​the Limes Saxoniae , the border strip of the Saxons to protect against the Abodrites in eastern Schleswig-Holstein, which was built around 810. Stolpe was first mentioned in a document on February 6, 1316. Until 1815, Stolpe was owned by the Depenau estate.

There is evidence that six people from Depenau were accused of witchcraft and sorcery in the witch hunts from 1678 to 1687 and were executed after witch trials .

In 1835 two small golden bowls with lids were found by chance under a boulder near Stolpe. One contained a gold bracelet. The find is now kept in the State Museum Schloss Gottorf in Schleswig .

There are four aristocratic estates in the municipality: Gut Depenau, Gut Nettelau, Gut Horst and Gut Bundhorst.

Good Depenau

On the southeastern edge of the Depenau high moor there is a heaped up hill that is believed to be the location of an earlier tower hill castle . The lands later belonged to Gut Perdoel (now a part of Belau ) and from 1551 onwards they formed a separate estate from Depenau, which was owned by the von Sehestedt family until 1620 . By marriage it passed to the von Brockdorff on Gut Rixdorf . Anna Constantia von Brockdorff was born here in 1680, who became Augustus the Strong's mistress from 1705 and carried the title of Countess von Cosel from 1706 . After the death of her brother she inherited the estate in 1744. Her daughter-in-law Friederike Christiane Countess Cosel, b. von Holtzendorff, sold Gut Depenau in 1783 to the French marshal Count Nikolaus von Luckner . Adam Ferdinand von Luckner sold the property in 1838 to the Kiel merchant Georg Eduard Boehme. It was acquired by Gustav von Löbbecke in 1890 and in 1904 by the secret councilor Rudolf Hammerschmidt from Essen, who had lived in the Villa Hammerschmidt in Bonn since 1899 . The old mansion he converted was demolished in 1979. The residence of the current owners, the Monforts von Hobe, is a centuries-old half-timbered house on the estate.

Incorporations

On January 1, 1974, the municipality of Depenau was incorporated. The municipality of Depenau consisted of the estate district of the Depenau, Horst, Nettelau and Bundhorst estates.
