Bad Segeberg owes its existence to the "Kalkberg", a gypsum rock, that was about 120m high in the middle ages. This was the borderland between Saxons and Slavs, so Knud Lavard, Danish prince and Jarl (Earl) of Schleswig, unsuccessfully tried to build a castle here. Vizelin, the missionary of the Varrians and Abotrites, drew the attention of Emperor Lothair III to the strategic importance of the Kalkberg, whereupon the first castle was built on it in 1134. This was named "Siegesburg" (hence Segeberg). After Emperor Lothar III had died, Slavic chief Pribislav of Wagria rebelled against the Holy Roman Empire by destroying the new castle of Segeberg. In 1143 that the castle was restored and Vizelin could devote more time to missionary activities. In the 1230s, Segeberg that had grown near the castle received the Lübeck town charter. Forerunners of the German "Volksbanken" were often so-called "Vorschussvereine" (~ advance money union), founded in the second half of the 19th century following the ideas of Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen and Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch. One of them existed here and had this impressive building erected. The deorated portal is dated 1914. The year WWI started..

Cologne is the fourth-largest city in Germany - and one of the oldest. A Germanic tribe, the Ubii, had a settlement here, this was named by the Romans "Oppidum Ubiorum". In 50 AD, the Romans founded "Colonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensium", the city then became the provincial capital of "Germania Inferior". Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch after whom the street is named, was the founder of the first co-operate bank "Vorschussverein", where subscribing workers made small deposits, obtaining proportional credit and dividends. The management was vested in a board composed of subscribers. In 1859 the more than 200 such banks were centrally organized under the direction of Schulze-Delitzsch. IN 1883, when Schulze-Delitzsch passed away , 3.500 co-operative banking branches with more than $100,000,000 in deposits existed in Germany. End of the 19th century one of these co-oop banks in Cologne financed and built the houses here for its members. Here are still 34 (former) two-family houses, stylistically very similar but in individual forms and designs. Today the street has an own website - and a special carnival parade. www.schulze-delitzsch-strasse.de
