Hohenwestedt im Aufbruch.

[Hohenwestedt in Times of Departures]

Flourishing municipality, growing economy, close community – that is 30 years in Hohenwestedt, a municipality in a time of departures. At its 800. anniversary, this chronicle takes stock of the eventful years between 1986 and 2016 in Hohenwestedt.
What began as a commercial intersection at the “Ochsenweg” in the Middle Ages, today is a thriving subcentre in the heart of Schleswig-Holstein with great attraction. On the eve of the 21st century, politics, administration and the inhabitants of Hohenwestedt met many challenges: modern infrastructure and administration, digitalization, attractive retail trade, a high level of social engagement, up-to-date educational facilities, colourful associative life, manifold cultural and religious offers, as well as many fabulous festivals like the annual Hohenwestedt Week together account for the high quality of life in Hohenwestedt today.
