About Schreventeich
Where to stay in Schreventeich
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Beds in Schreventeich sit back from the middle of Kiel, close to the Alter Urnenfriedhof, and the appeal is the walk in rather than any concentration of hotels on the doorstep. Supply is modest. Visitors planning museum days will spend them elsewhere in Kiel and come back here to sleep.
The Stephan-Heinzel-Haus is the local marker.
About Schreventeich
What are the main landmarks in Schreventeich?
The Alter Urnenfriedhof, an old urn cemetery, is the principal listed site, and the Stephan-Heinzel-Haus joins it as the only other address the record singles out in Schreventeich. A cemetery and a house, then. Anything beyond that pair means a trip into the wider city.
For most visitors the cemetery is the reason to walk this way, since a burial ground of that kind suits an unhurried hour far better than a checklist of sights in Kiel.
What is the history of Schreventeich?
The dated evidence for the quarter amounts to a cemetery: the Alter Urnenfriedhof carries the word alter, meaning old, in its own name, which is as close to a chronology as the sources for Schreventeich come. Beyond that word, no year is fixed. Kiel's municipal history covers the district by default.
The Stephan-Heinzel-Haus carries a personal name that the record leaves unexplained, and that silence is typical of a quarter documented only in outline.
Where is Schreventeich?
Kiel divides into named quarters, and Schreventeich is one of them, inside a city that belongs to Schleswig-Holstein, in Germany.
