History
The earliest reference to the town is in a document dated 14 July 1286.
With the construction of the Kiel Canal (German: Nord-Ostsee-Kanal) in 1911, the town was divided in two.
During the opening days of World War II, on 4 September 1939, the No. 149 Squadron RAF carried out the second bombing of that war, targeting warships near the town.
