[edit] History
In Pinneberg a first castle probably developed around the year 1200, after at this place for centuries an old-Germanic Thingstaette might have existed. This castle became 1370 of national gentlemen, which Schauenburger conquers counts Adolf VII. 1472 were established in place of the castle a Renaissance castle, which was heavily damaged in the years 1627 and 1657 and 1720 was finally torn down. After it had come in the proximity of the castle to a settlement of officials of yard and craftsmen, whom the designation free Thingstaette Pinneberg carried, the place developed quite slowly and kept only to 1875 municipal rights, although since 1640 the seat of the Danish Landdrosten was here already and since 1866 the seat of the Prussian land advice 1905 came it to the incorporation of Pinneberger village (today's quarters Pinneberg north) and in the year 1927 for the incorporation of the municipalities Thesdorf and Waldenau. By the inflow of refugees (predominantly from East Prussia) 1945 doubled itself number of inhabitants to Pinnebergs.
