Conversely My Dungen
Wiper and Köhnholz With the founding of the Prussian rural communities 1892 spots Köhnholz and the living space wiping the rural community Kurzenmoor were ( now the town Seester ) slammed. Wiper and Köhnholz already had since 1824 with Lieth (small northern end, now partly belonging to Elmshorn ) via a common school. Once this has been in a fire on March 13, 1894, however, completely destroyed, the education of children needed to be quickly clarified and redefined. At a meeting of the county school board with the Association of Schools and representatives of Elmshorner City Council in March 1894, the proposal was discussed, the children of the stains wipe and Köhnholz on the Elmshorner school on Convent Sande ( later harbor road ) to send and for the children from Lieth a new to build school site in their village. The path to the existing school after Seester over the large part not yet fully constructed roads and paths through the moorland seemed too far for the children. The city of Elmshorn but turned their consent only if the prospect that wiping and Köhnholz would also transfer to politically Elmshorn. Background in this case were the contracts only a few months previously signed in January 1894 the location of the new riding and driving school with a race track, in the wiping stains (now Westerstraße ) wanted to build the nationally important Holsteiner Verband. The prospect of settling this prestigious property in the city of Elmshorn, was very tempting for the magistrate.

The decision of the District Committee in the Schleswig Conversely My Dung 17th September 1894 were approved and the beginning of October 1894 to be valid.

The location of the old sports venue in the middle of a residential area at the Wilhelmstrasse brought to an ever increasing problems with noise pollution for local residents and offered the temporarily playing in the football league club no room for expansion, on the other hand, the city flirted for a long time with the existing sports grounds as development area.
