Geography

Hollingstedt located on the Schleswig 's Enge ( isthmus ) between the North Sea and Baltic Sea. It belonged to the historic administrative unit Arens Harde in the Official Gottorp. Already in 1231 recorded the Erdbuch of Valdemar II the Arens Harde as an area in Istathesyssel.

The parish adjoins the east bank of the middle treene and spreads on both sides of the east. The church village is situated on a Altmoräne that has a sandy tongue pushed to the treene. This sand spurs made ​​the settlement possible in a landscape that was almost surrounded only by bog, marsh and forest. At the same time there was a connection to the eastbound Ochsenweg and former Hedeby. By Hollingstedt led - by Oeversee coming from the north and ending in Süderstapel on the Eider - the Stapelholmer way.

In east-west direction existed by Hollingstedt a Seehandelsroute between the North Sea and Baltic Sea, because only about a 15 km wide isthmus between the treene and the loop had to be overcome: About the Eider and Treene were ships come until after Hollingstedt. Use of the Rheider Au with smaller ships after that was possible. Then the ships of the Rheider Au overland to Selker Noor had to be pulled to get into the loop. Alternatively, they used the Kograben just south of the Danevirke.

Three pairs of white storks settle annually on concrete pylons in place. In Friedrich field is another occupied nest.

History

The village was mentioned in 1153 as Hugstaeth, 1285 as Huglaestath and 1436/62 as Hollingstedte ( from the short form of the Old Norse Hugleikr and stedt ). In the 13th century also appear the different names Hylingstada and Hylingstadir. In the same century, the place in the Knýtlinga saga is mentioned. The name is altdänischer origin and is interpreted in the place names research as a hill site.

In the Neolithic period have been living here for Hollingstedt farmers. This is evidenced by the discovery of a stone ax of Neolithic single grave culture, a late Neolithic flint dagger and several flint tools in today's municipal area.

In the year 449 the Angles are said to have boarded their ships in Hollingstedt to sail across the North Sea to Britain. There is also an old map from 1596, is named in the Hollingstedt as a base port for fishing.

Excavations in and around Hollingstedt thousands of shards from the 6th to 13th centuries have been found who can testify to a lively trade. Additional soil surveys and excavations on the banks of treene - in the Lahmenstraat - showed evidence of a medieval port and notes on construction and repair of ships. Similarly, a loading dock for Rhenish tuff was found during excavations at the Southshore Wiesbach that was used in the construction of many churches in the North Sea and in the loop region even to the Baltic Sea. A special monument from the 12th century is the Hollingstedter church, which was also built of Rhenish tuff. It is only about 100 meters from the shores of treene away, has already been standing in one place, it was found at, as in excavations a house.

In the years 1760 to 1765, Frederick V, King of Denmark and Norway, create a bog colony in the northeastern district of Hollingstedt, which was called Friedrich field. Here then colonists were settled in southern Germany, to make the marsh area under cultivation.

Hollingstedt was used more than a thousand years ago as an important trading port. Despite difficult cargo shipment across the country, the natural Schiffsweg was cheaper and less dangerous than a detour through the Skagerrak. Two jetties from the 12th century have been discovered during archaeological excavations, which corresponds to a use as West Port of Schleswig. The Hollingstedter port was apparently approached both from ships Nordic type as well as of early cogs. Goods from the Baltic Sea region should especially have been furs, wax and honey, while wine, pottery, weapons, and later tuff were imported from other regions.

The treene was up to its damming in Koldenbüttel in 1570 to a tidenabhängiges waters: The tides of the North Sea ranged over the Eider to Hollingstedt and thus in each case accrued flood allowed a waterway. After this damming a water transport was only possible with smaller ships.

The path behind the church to the chapel also falls steeply downhill in a southerly direction. King Sven also III. of Denmark visited the place when he left in 1153 ships in Hollingstedt to water. In the schoolhouse regional studies materials for the classroom will be collected since 1965. Over time from a single collection is obtained. Another prominent guest was Tsar Peter the Great, who has stayed in 1713 Hollingstedt.
