Krummesse - Krummesse

Curved mass is a village in Schleswig-Holstein, southwest of Lübeck. The place is both a municipality of the office Berkenthin in the north of the district Duchy of Lauenburg as well as a district of the St. Jürgen district of the Hanseatic city Lübeck. Krummesse is a well-rounded village, a village with two mayors and two license plates (RZ and HL). The district boundary runs in such a curious way that the place has been in the Guinness Book of Records for several years.

background

Krummesse was mentioned for the first time in a document from the Bishop of Ratzeburg on April 3, 1194. As early as the middle of the 14th century, some family members of the Knights von Crummesse began to sell parts of their possessions to the council of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. To this day, the sale of about half the village is the reason for the separation of the village into a Lübeck and a Lauenburg part with the complicated demarcation. An area swap between the Hanseatic city of Lübeck and the municipality of Krummesse in 2005 did not remove the complicated demarcation, but simplified it somewhat. Nonetheless, some of the borders still run along roadsides and in the middle of roads or, as in one case, through the middle of a building. Belonging to two different administrations repeatedly leads to strange occurrences, most recently during the corona pandemic in 2021.

The approximately 2800 inhabitants of the village still live in a grown place with a village character despite the intensive construction activity in the post-war years. The center of Krummesse is the intersection of Hauptstrasse and Beidendorfer Weg.

A considerable part of the building of the place is today about the community suitability Biogas plant supplied with district heating in Beidendorfer Weg. Further expansion is planned.

Since 1990 Krummesse has repeatedly been named the “Most Beautiful Village” in the Duchy of Lauenburg.

Detailed information on how this lock works can be found in a brochure from the Waterways and Shipping Administration, here as a pdf download.

Larger areas of land are only used extensively. Here you can enjoy a wide view, the open landscape with its reed areas and small groups of trees in wonderful tranquility. There is also the opportunity to hear and observe red-backed shrike, as well as the brown and stonechat. A restoration of largely natural site conditions is planned through renaturation measures.

The 53.785910.61018 Can breakage west of the Kronsford main road is designated as a 25 hectare natural forest reserve. The Kannenbruch is a special recreational forest, which is characterized by its biodiversity, the stock of trees and its star-shaped hiking trails. A characteristic feature of the planning in the Biedermeier period was the creation of an aisle system in the form of an eleven-pointed star around a central roundabout. From the former forester's house in the northeast of the Kannenbruch, which is now a listed building, you can take one of the 11 paths to the center and then return via one of the other "rays". The tree population mainly includes beech, pine and spruce. In addition to the native tree species, a number of American oaks were planted around the rondel, a plane tree and an acacia and Douglas fir trees in the 19th century. The swampy quarry forest character leads to an extremely species-rich spring vegetation. These include primroses, wood anemones, lark's spur and gold star, the rare forest foamwort and spotted orchid.
