Steenbek-Projensdorf
Steenbek-Projensdorf is a district of Kiel located in the northwestern part of it, about five to ten kilometres outside of the city centre. Infrastructure. Since the 1960s many people have moved to Steenbek-Projensdorf so that in the 1970s and the 1980s the quarter started to look more city-like. There is a shopping centre including a bank, a travel agency and restaurants. Furthermore there are dormitories, a retirement home, churches, and a gymnasium. One of the most important new buildings of "Steenbek" and Kiel, the "Lubinus-Klinik", was finished in 1984. Today it is a big  medical centre. Area. Origin. The area of Steenbek-Projensdorf used to exist within the natural borders next to the areas of "Suchsdorf" and "Klausbrook"; the borders passed the edge of the "Projensdorfer Gehölz" (=Projensdorf Wood) on one side and both sides of the "Bremerskamp" up to the "Olshausenstraße" on the other side. Today. Today Steenbek-Projensdorf is bounded by the "Olof-Palme-Damm" between "Suchsdorf" and Steenbek-Projensdorf, furthermore by the Kiel Canal up to the bridge of "Holtenau", by the "B 503" - a freeway built in 1972 due to the Olympic Games - up to the tunnel junction with  the "Steenbeker Weg" and lastly by the "Projensdorfer Straße" up to the "Westring" including the Holstein-Stadion. History. Originally the quarters of "Steenbek" and "Projensdorf" were a part of its neighbouring village "Wik". Between the villages of "Wik" and "Suchsdorf" there was the estate "Gut Projensdorf" which attracted the first farmers at the end of 18th century. In 1867 "Steenbek" was incorporated into Kiel as a part of the "Wik" as well as some parts of "Projensdorf". In the course of time the areas "Wik" and Steenbek-Projensdorf were separated through the Kiel Canal and later the "B 503". When  the districts were restructured in 1994, "Steenbek" and "Projensdorf" were merged into Steenbek-Projensdorf, and finally separated from the "Wik".
