Location of the municipality of Trappenkamp in the Segeberg district

Trappenkamp is a municipality on the northern edge of the Segeberg district in Schleswig-Holstein .

Geography and traffic

Trappenkamp is located in the Segeberg district, around 15 kilometers north of the district town of Bad Segeberg and east of the independent city of Neumünster . The community has a junction on Autobahn 21 . There are regional bus connections to Bad Segeberg and Kiel . The nearest train station is in the neighboring village of Rickling, about five kilometers away, on the Neumünster – Bad Oldesloe railway line . Shuttle buses also run there. Until December 31, 1961, Trappenkamp had its own train station, which was the end of an approximately three-kilometer branch line that branched off from the Kiel – Segeberg small railway in Bornhöved . It was primarily used for freight traffic, but individual passenger trains also ran until March 8, 1952.

Origin of name

The place name Trappenkamp comes from an old field name, which is composed of the two words " Trappen " (ground birds that live in grass steppes and in the fields) and " Kamp " (enclosed field). When the site of the naval arsenal was renamed Trappenkamp in 1936, the name of a parcel belonging to the municipality of Tarbek was used .

history

The territorial origins of today's municipality of Trappenkamp go back to a former Prussian parade ground for cavalry and infantry , the "Gönnebeker Heide". From 1901 one began with the cultivation and afforestation of the "Gönnebeker Heide". This measure lasted until the 1920s.

In July 1934, the naval command in Berlin ordered the construction of a new mine store near Kiel . This mine storage facility was supposed to relieve the blocked depot in Kiel-Dietrichsdorf. The former state forest of Neumünster was chosen as the location of the new arsenal. The Halloh forest south of Boostedt was not chosen because the terrain that was available at the time was not suitable: The trees in this area were too cleared, the ground too uneven, and it was a popular destination for the people of Neumünster . In 1940, however, the Luftmunitionsanstalt 6 / XI Boostedt was set up at another location in the Halloh Forest .

On May 18, 1945, English troops occupied the Trappenkamp naval locking arms arsenal. After this was cleared, displaced persons and refugees from the Sudetenland and the formerly German eastern regions moved into the former Wehrmacht buildings, which were largely simple buildings for the processing and storage of explosives. Some of these bunkers are still used today as garages or have been converted into houses by the residents, which are often no longer used for military purposes. The right-angled route layout from the time before 1945 is largely reflected in the street structure in the old district. The original simple alphabetical division was also retained in the north-south direction with the first letters of the street names in the first development areas. B. Fasanenweg - Falkenweg - Farnstieg - Friedlandstraße.

On April 1, 1956, the “Trappenkamp settlement”, which at that time had almost 900 inhabitants and until then belonged to the Bornhöved community, was declared an independent community at the behest of the Schleswig-Holstein state government. This makes Trappenkamp one of the youngest communities in Schleswig-Holstein.

Trappenkamp joined the Bornhöved office on January 1, 2008 and has been the seat of the office ever since.

politics

Community representation

Of the 19 seats in the municipal council, the SPD has had all 19 seats since the 2018 local elections.

coat of arms

The coat of arms was approved on February 17, 1972.

Blazon : "A golden tip in green."

The coat of arms is impressively designed in the style of a medieval herald image and reflects the settlement area carved into the forest in a wedge shape. In the protection of the large forest area on the Gönnebeker Heide, which belongs to the municipality of Rickling, a naval anti-missile arsenal was created from 1936. When it was also renamed “Trappenkamp” in 1936, the name of a neighboring parcel belonging to the municipality of Tarbek was used. After the end of the war, Trappenkamp developed into a provisional settlement for expellees. Gablonz glassblowers from the Sudetenland have settled here since 1946 , but the difficult post-war conditions made it difficult to establish a glass and jewelry industry in the north. The glassworks settlement was incorporated into Bornhöved as a district in 1949 . In 1956 Trappenkamp was given the status of an independent municipality.

The coat of arms was designed by the Brunsbüttel heraldist Willy "Horsa" Lippert .

flag

The flag was approved on April 25, 1983.

On the top and bottom of the yellow flag, bordered by a wide green stripe, the municipal coat of arms, shifted a little from the center towards the pole.

Culture and sights
