history

Nortorf was mentioned in a document as early as the 10th century. A first chapel is said to have been founded under Bishop Ansgar , but probably not until Henry the Lion . The church allegedly had relics of the eponymous Saint Martin of Tours , the theft and recovery of which is described in the Visio Godeschalci . The church building was destroyed several times by the effects of war and fires. The current church dates from 1872.

On July 19, 1909, Nortorf became a town through a new local statute. Even before the First World War , there were two leather factories, a sawmill, a beer brewery (Holsatia Brauerei AG) and a meat factory. A railway connection, steam power and expanding business made Nortorf an industrial location. After the Second World War , Nortorf got its most important business enterprise with a large record factory Teldec (Telefunken-Decca Schallplatten GmbH), which employed several 100 workers. Today, the Nortorf sub-center is particularly important as an administration, school, shopping and service center for 20 communities in the vicinity.

On January 1, 2007, the previously free city joined the Nortorf Land Office, the name of which was then changed to Nortorfer Land Office . The last full-time mayor of Nortorf was Hans-Helmut Köppe.
