history

Trittau was mentioned for the first time in 1167 in a document from Duke Heinrich the Lion , and a second time in 1239 on the occasion of the construction of the church, which initially belonged to Reinbek Abbey . 1326, Count Johann of clemency to protect against the robber barons Scarpenbergh from Linau the castle Trittau build. The purpose of the fortified complex, which initially resembled a castle, was to protect the important trade routes to Lübeck and Hamburg, as well as to the Elbe crossing at Artlenburg . The castle was the seat of the bailiff who administered the Trittau office. In 1534 Trittau was taken by the mercenary leader and Lübeck city governor Marx Meyer , who came from Hamburg, in the course of the count's feud . In the Peace of Stockelsdorf it was returned to the Gottorfer in exchange for the briefly Danish occupied Travemünde . In 1775 the castle was demolished due to its disrepair. The bailiff resided from then on in Reinbek Castle .

Trittau was one of the 17 so-called wooden villages .

At the beginning of the 20th century, Trittau and Hahnheide were popular destinations for the citizens of Hamburg as a climatic health resort . For a long time there was a direct rail connection to Hamburg- Tiefstack with the Südstormarnschen Kreisbahn (until 1952) and the Schwarzenbek – Bad Oldesloe railway to Schwarzenbek and Bad Oldesloe (until 1980).

At the end of the Second World War , Germany was gradually occupied. On May 1, 1945, British tanks arrived in Trittau and occupied the place. On May 4th, Hans-Georg von Friedeburg signed the surrender of all German troops in northwest Germany, the Netherlands and Denmark on behalf of the last Reich President Karl Dönitz , who had previously left the last Reich government in Flensburg - Mürwik . The war finally ended with the unconditional surrender on May 8, 1945 . At the end of the war, numerous refugees and displaced persons from the eastern regions of the German Reich had fled to Schleswig-Holstein (see Refugees in Schleswig-Holstein after the Second World War ). People also fled to Trittau, for example a train of railway workers from the Freienwalde – Zehden railway with their families. As a result, the population of Trittaus doubled.
