Königsberger Straße 1-9

Welcome to Kellinghusen

Kellinghusen is located in northern Germany and is characterized by its idyllic location along the Stör River. The small town lies northwest of Hamburg and is the gateway to the Aukrug Nature Park. The rolling hills and expansive valleys bring back memories of the Ice Age. The town lies between "Geest" and "Marsch", with Geest being considered a barren landscape and Marsch a fertile one. Today, the steeply rising "Geestrand", the Stör, as well as the Marsch characterize the townscape of Kellinghusen. The unique landscape forms give Kellinghusen an unmistakable charm.

With just over 200,000 inhabitants and 214 km², the Hanseatic city of Lübeck is considered the second largest city in Schleswig-Holstein. Lübeck is also one of the state's four regional centers. More than 7,000 students are attracted to the charming city every year, with the number of students increasing annually. It is thus one of the most important centers for teaching and research in the state. Around 7000 ships call at the port city every year. Lübeck's old town is famous for its cobblestone streets and romantic arcades. The world-famous landmark, the Holsten Gate, is a popular destination. The city gate delimits the old town of the Hanseatic city of Lübeck to the west. The Holsentor is not only the city's landmark, but also the city history museum of Lübeck since 1950.

It is also the most populous city in Germany after Berlin and has one of the largest and busiest ports in Europe. Hamburg and Bremen are the only German city-states that still retain some of their medieval independence. Hamburg's characteristic individuality has been proudly cultivated by its citizens, so that the city's culture has retained its uniqueness in many areas of public and private life and has not succumbed to the general trend toward standardization.
