Timmendorfer Strand is a municipality in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein . In addition to the main town, there are the two villages Groß Timmendorf with the residential areas Groß Timmendorf and Oeverdiek as well as Hemmelsdorf with the residential areas Hemmelsdorf, Hainholz and Nothweg. The district of Niendorf also belongs to the community .
As a German seaside resort , Timmendorfer Strand today has around 1,500,000 overnight stays per year and is one of the most fashionable Baltic Sea resorts with a large tourist offer.
geography
The community of Timmendorfer Strand is located 15 kilometers north of Lübeck directly on the Baltic Sea coast. Neighboring communities are Scharbeutz in the north, Ratekau in the south and west and Lübeck - with the Travemünde district - in the east. The beach on the Bay of Lübeck is 6.5 kilometers long. The landscape around Timmendorfer Strand is shaped by the ground moraines of the last Ice Age. The deposits of the Vistula Ice Age created a varied, slightly hilly relief with many lakes. The delightful Hemmelsdorfer See emerged from a fjord cut off from the Baltic Sea . At its bottom, at 39.6 meters below sea level, is the deepest naturally created point in Germany. Another typical feature of the landscape to Timmendorfer beach are under nature conservation standing Knicks .
history
The first mentioned places of the municipality of Timmendorfer Strand are Klein Timmendorf (1260), Groß Timmendorf (1371 sale of the village to two Lübeck citizens) and Niendorf (1385 entry in the Lübeck city book) called Nyendrope (New Village). Earlier traces of settlement can be seen in the cemetery of Groß Timmendorf .
Klein Timmendorf is known as Tymmendroper and also as Wendisch Tymmendorff , as it was inhabited by Wends at the time of settlement by the Germans . Groß Timmendorf was probably founded and inhabited by German settlers. The name "Timmendorf" was probably derived from a German settler of the place with the name Timmo (a German). Timmo and Timm were common names in the Middle Ages .
A map of Rodenberg from 1877/78 (in) shows the places Klein Timmendorf, approx. 1.5 km, and Groß Timmendorf, approx. 2.5 km west of the Baltic Sea beach. Only a few settlements - surrounded by fields - can be seen in the coastal area.
The Ostseebad Niendorf developed organically from the long existing village located directly on the Baltic Sea beach. It has been a state-approved seaside spa since 1954.
Timmendorfer Strand developed around 1880 from individual settlements on the beach to a pure seaside resort. The different developments in the places shaped different mentalities, the rural in Niendorf and urban in Timmendorfer Strand, which have continued to this day.
Klein Timmendorf, which is west of the "Bäderstraße" (Bundesstraße 76) from Timmendorfer Strand, grew up with Timmendorfer Strand and was absorbed into it. The street names Hauptstraße, Mühlenstraße and Schmiedestraße still point to the old town center of Klein Timmendorf. Groß Timmendorf with his name still exists today.
The seaside resort of Timmendorfer Strand was created through the construction of several hotels and guesthouses between 1888 and 1900 along the beach. This also includes the Grisebach and Gropius villas built by the Berlin architect Hans Grisebach around 1888 and 1892, which still exist today and are under monument protection .
In the center of Timmendorfer Strand (Timmendorfer Platz) the “Olgaheim” was built in 1896 as a recreation center for “poor and weak children” (see architectural drawing of the Olgaheim in). From 1946 it was the seat of the municipality's town hall. In 1997 the building was torn down and rebuilt according to the old plans - regarding the facade. Today the spa administration and the library are located here.
By the First World War , Timmendorfer Strand developed into a seaside resort according to the standards of the time with the construction of guesthouses, hotels and private houses. In 1911 there were already around 130 owners of hotels, guest houses, inns and private buildings.
After the war, further development progressed rapidly, the "first row" to the beach was quickly closed with built-up land. In the center of Timmendorfer Strand you can still see guest houses and villas from the early days. Until 1918, Timmendorfer Strand belonged to the Principality of Lübeck , then to the Free State of Oldenburg -Luebeck. With the Greater Hamburg Law of 1937, this part of the country was incorporated into the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein as the Eutin district.
At the time of National Socialism , a Kdf -seebad was to be built in Timmendorfer Strand . However, these plans were never implemented. In 1942 a British plane dropped bombs on Niendorf. It is unknown whether it was an emergency drop. The last duds were eliminated in 1962. From 1943 to 1950 the Dervish cigarette factory was in the Niendorf part of the municipality. From 1944 onwards, the administration of the small combat units of the Kriegsmarine was located in the municipality of Timmendorf under the cover name “Strandkoppel” .
When the ships Cap Arcona and Thielbek were sunk in the Lübeck Bay in front of Neustadt , around 7,000 inmates of Neuengamme concentration camp were killed before the end of the war in 1945 . The roughly 800 bodies washed ashore in Timmendorfer Strand were buried in the community's “forest cemetery”.
The municipality of Timmendorfer Strand was formed in 1945 by the British military government from Groß Timmendorf, Klein Timmendorf, Hemmelsdorf (until 1650 Hemmyngestorp) and Niendorf - until then part of the municipality of Ratekau . Pascalides, a Greek from Niendorf, became the first mayor. The community remained part of the Eutin district and thus part of the (formal) Prussian province, from which the state of Schleswig-Holstein was to emerge on August 23, 1946. As a result of the district reform of 1970, the Eutin district was combined with the Oldenburg in Holstein district to form the new Ostholstein district with the district administration in Eutin .
In 1951, Timmendorfer Strand was recognized as a Baltic Sea spa . A number of new buildings were built for the spa operation, in 1952 the drinking spa hall, which was planned by the architect Erich zu Putlitz in the 1930s (it was renovated in 1986), in 1970 the Curschmann Clinic as a rehabilitation clinic for cardiovascular diseases, 1984 the congress house and the ice and tennis center ETC, 1991 the new spa center.

Religion and memorial
At the edge of the chamber forest of Timmendorfer Strand is the Protestant "forest church". In 1912 the still quite small forest chapel was built. In 1964 it was enlarged and received a 23 meter high, slender bell tower.
On the grounds of the forest cemetery on the B 76 there is an old chapel and a new building built in the 1980s. A memorial for the 810 dead of the Cap Arcona tragedy was built across from the old chapel .
A Catholic church is centrally located on Poststrasse.
In the municipality of Niendorf there is a women's convent on the outskirts. In the center of the village is the Protestant "Petri Church", which was built in 1898 by Lübeck architect Schaumann in the neo-Romanesque style. With the increased influx of summer guests to Niendorf at the end of the 19th century, there was also an increasing need for religious support.

port
The small municipal port is located in the Niendorf part of the municipality. The Aalbek , a connection between the Hemmelsdorfer See and the Baltic Sea, ends here . The Niendorfer Hafen is one of the smallest ports on the Schleswig-Holstein Baltic Sea coast. Built in 1920, the commercial use of the port changed over the decades. Originally planned as a pure fishing port, over the years more and more businesses have settled here, including the Evers shipyard. Between 2005 and 2006 the port was completely renovated and redesigned.
The use of the port has changed significantly over the past few decades. The shipyard was converted into a marina and small businesses such as a boat engine specialist, a sailing school, a boat builder specializing in classic wooden boat construction and restaurants moved into the vacant buildings. Most of the boats today are pleasure craft . One branch of industry is passenger shipping, which still takes place regularly in Niendorf.

Seeschlösschenbrücke
The old Seeschlösschenbrücke was replaced from 2010 to 2011 by a 150 meter long pier in the same place. There is a jetty to the side. The client was the municipality of Timmendorfer Strand and the planning of the bridge was carried out by Sellhorn Ingenieurgesellschaft. The cost was around 1.5 million euros. At the bridgehead a 36 by 16 meter platform was erected on which a building in the shape of a pagoda was erected. Parts of the floor are made of glass and allow a view of the sea below. The Mikado tea house was designed, planned and realized by the Hamburg architect Andreas Schuberth. The construction costs amounted to around 1.8 million euros. It opened in July 2014 and was initially intended to serve as a gallery, now it houses the “Wolkenlos” restaurant. On October 19, 2017, the municipality announced that there were significant construction defects on the glass front of the building, which it will likely have to spend another € 800,000 to repair.
Old spa park
In the Timmendorfer Strand part of the municipality, a spa park with an open-air stage was created in the 1930s . In addition to a mini golf course and a large chess board, the Kurmittelhaus was built in 1994. In 2006, work began on the complete renovation. The plan was to restore the park to its 1930s state. In 2013 the orphaned Kurmittelhaus was only used on Thursday to distribute food to the Timmendorfer in need, the neighboring open-air stage was demolished, and renovation work on the spa park has not yet taken place. The spa park has lost area and several older trees in favor of a cycle path along the mountain road.
