[edit] History

The Name Glinde is found in an document from March 25 1229, the first time. In the document, earl Adolf IV. of Schauenburg and Holstein gave the village to Cistercians-convent. (The convent moved to the today's Town Reinbek.) The King of Denmark and Duke of Schleswig-Holstein, Frederick I of Denmark, got all the convent had during the Protestant Reformation. 1544 his son Christian III. gave a part of it to every of his brothers. The owner changed some more times.

1948, the town administration of Glinde, Oststeinbek, Havighorst and Schönningstedt were come together to the Amt Glinde. Schönningstedt leaves that combination 1949 and Havighorst left it 1973. So Glinde und Oststeinbek get Amtless villages.

On the June 24 1979 (on the 750-Yearth-celebration of the village), Glinde got a Town.
