History
Kellinghusen was first mentioned in the 11th century and became known during the 18th century for its faience. The town, which has existed since the time of Charlemagne, was first known as Kellinghusen around the year 1148, as evidenced by the name "Thoto of Kerleggehusen." The residents were primarily craftsmen, traders, and manufacturers. Plentiful clay in the area favored the establishment of faience factories.
From 1964 - 2009 Kellinghusen was one base of the Bundeswehr. During the Cold War an arsenal of nuclear weaponry of the United States Armed Forces was situated in Kellinghusen.
