Wangels is a municipality in the Ostholstein district in Schleswig-Holstein .

Geography and traffic

The community borders on the Lensahn district and the Plön district and is located near the Bungsberg in the Wagrien countryside . From the 8th century the area was settled Wendish (Slavic), which is also indicated by today's place names.

Wangels consists of the 19 districts Barensdorf, Hansühn, Karlshof, Kükelühn, Meischenstorf, Neutestorf, Testorf (formerly Testorf estate), Charlottenhof, Ehlerstorf, Farve, Grammdorf, Hohenstein, Wangels (formerly Farve estate), Döhnsdorf, Friederikenhof, Groß-Wessek, Testorferfelde, Wasbuck and Weißenhaus (formerly the Weißenhaus manor district). Hansühn forms the center of the community. The Ostseebad Weißenhäuser Strand on the Hohwacht Bay is also located in the municipality.

history

The municipality originally belonged to three manor districts, from which in 1933 the communities Hansühn (manor district Testorf), Hohenstein (manor district Farve) and Döhnsdorf (manor district Weißenhaus) were formed. In 1939 these three parishes were merged to form today's parish of Wangels.

Döhnsdorf

→ Main article : Döhnsdorf

In the west of the community on the B 202 village - south of the village is the Döhnsdorf Castle - the remainder of a medieval tower hill castle .

Grammdorf

In grams village that has been inhabited since the Stone Age, there is a passage grave ( stone chamber of Grammendorf ). In the 12th century there was a Slavic castle here, which probably consisted of a ring wall made of earth and wood.

Hansühn

Etymologically, Hansühn is derived from the Middle Low German vocabulary han (high) and Sühn (sun) and means high sun , which is due to the high location of the village.

The Christ Church was built on the ridge of a glacial moraine . The building was erected in 1896 on the site of a 13th century church. It has a field stone masonry on the southeast side. During the construction, the Hamburg architect Hugo Groothoff used hewn field stones and structured decorative brick sections and thus achieved an appearance reminiscent of Romanesque churches on the outside . However, the wall technique and the neo-Gothic stained - glass windows reveal the more recent date of origin. The nave is spanned by a broken open roof truss . The behind the mighty round chancel arch opening apse is closed by a half-dome. In the transverse ship-like extensions are galleries clamped takes place their access via the externally applied respectively semi-circular staircase towers. In addition to late Gothic sculptures of the cross group, the carved Gothic Madonna and Child enthroned (around 1320/25) from a Lübeck workshop is of importance.

Meischenstorf

The passage grave of Wangels-Meischenstorf is on the high east bank of a stream .

Churches

In addition to the Christ Church in Hansühn, there is also the Hohenstein Church , whose church patronage was held by the lords of Gut Farve.
