Neighboring districts

Wellingdorf borders to the north with the Schwentine on Neumühlen-Dietrichsdorf and the settlement of Oppendorf , to the west to Kiel-Ellerbek and to the south to Elmschenhagen (with Kroog ). In the district of Plön , Schwentinental and Schönkirchen border Wellingdorf.

history

Wellingdorf was mentioned for the first time in 1315. Its name could have originated from the landscape, as its old name "Belendorp" (bel = convex / wavy) refers to the hilly landscape of that time. Wellingdorf was a pure farming village, the houses of which were to the right and left of Schönberger Strasse. This connected all the villages on the east bank with the city of Kiel and the provost's office. Around 1855 there were 366 people living in Wellingdorf who lived exclusively on agriculture.

In 1991 the film Youth Wars - Observations in the German Province was shot mainly in Wellingdorf.

A small district festival takes place every year at Schönberger Straße Höhe 1-52.

East Prussian fishermen

When the East Prussian Operation began in January 1945 , most of the East Prussians fled to Schleswig-Holstein. A good 1.2 million refugees came to one and a half million locals.

Möltenort

The fishermen from Pillau came to the Kiel Fjord with their own cutter and 12 to 15 refugees on board . Especially in Möltenort they created a new existence. The conditions were very favorable: During the Second World War, most of Kiel fishermen were drafted and their ships were destroyed by the air raids on Kiel ; The fish stocks in the Baltic Sea were unusually good because it was hardly possible to fish during the war; and the Samland fishermen had modern gear and strong ships. They had a lot of experience with trawling and driftnet fishing . They introduced team fishing, in which the use of otter boards could be dispensed with. From the Danes they took over the fishing with drift lines , which proved themselves with the nets for salmon and cod . The old Möltenort fishermen stayed true to their fishing methods and fished near the coast. When there was not enough fish to catch at the end of the 1940s, the East Prussians turned to their home fishing grounds and salmon fishing. At the end of 1948 the first salmon fisherman left Möltenort in the eastern Baltic Sea. In Möltenort alone there were 80 cutters and countless part-time businesses. Möltenort developed into the most important port on the western Baltic coast. In Wellingdorf, the Andreas community became the new home of the “refugee fishermen”.

Sea fish market

The fish landings rose sharply from 1947 to 5865 tons . The sea ​​fish hall at Sartorikai became too small. It is true that the construction of the large sea fish market in Wellingdorf had already started in 1938; the buildings, which were completed shortly before the start of the war, had been destroyed by the bombing. Stadt und Land founded the operating company for the Kiel sea fish market in 1948; on March 6th, Andreas Gayk signed the partnership agreement .

"All landings of fish and fishery products as well as shellfish and crustaceans from deep-sea and coastal fisheries in the area of ​​the Kiel Fjord are to be offered to the Kieler Seefischmarkt GmbH in Kiel Wellingdorf as the acceptance and distribution point."

- Official Gazette for Schleswig-Holstein of October 16, 1948

The Kieler Seefischmarkt GmbH transferred the rights for the acceptance and distribution of the fish to the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Kieler Fischmarkt ; it consisted of nine fish wholesalers and fishing cooperatives. When it was first landed on July 1, 1949, it took on the role of mediator between producers and traders for 20 years.

The weather vane on building 1 (the market hall) is a landmark of the sea fish market. The elk symbolizes the integration of the many fishermen from the lost eastern territories of the German Empire . The fish steamer stands for modern deep sea fishing , which is vital for a sea fish market. The lighthouse in the middle should show Kiel as a control point (the lighthouse Kiel was built by the Ambau company on the sea fish market). The flounder underneath stands for the Schleswig-Holstein cutter fishery . The Kiel coat of arms and the national colors indicate the shareholders of the Kieler Seefischmarkt GmbH. The final company logo has existed since the early 1950s.

schools

In Wellingdorf there is the Gymnasium Wellingdorf and the Theodor Storm School, a primary and community school.

Until the end of the Second World War there was a mixed (girls / boys) elementary school on Wischhofstrasse. The school building and the separate gymnasium were built in the early 1930s. Before this school was on the banks of the Schwentine (today's Geomar site). The new school building and the gymnasium were completely destroyed by bombs during the war.
