Partei =Bordesholm is a town in
Schleswig-Holstein ,Germany in the districtRendsburg-Eckernförde . "Bordesolm" is also the name of a former historical district of theKingdom of Prussia andWeimer Republic for which it was the district capital. The district of Bordesholm was subsequently dissolved in 1932 and parceled out to neighboring districts (parts of the district of Bordesholm were joined with the district of Segeberg and the rest to Rendsburg-Eckernförde).The town of Bordesholm developed around
1330 , when the abbey of Neumünster (founded in1127 by BishopVizelin ) was moved to an island in the Bordesholm lake. Thereafter, a village grew up at the shore of the lake, likely providing services to the abbey. Because of the abbey Bordesholm became the cultural and economic center of the duchy ofHolstein (nowadays Schleswig-Holstein) region betweenKiel andNeumünster .During the reformation the abbey was closed in
1566 by duke Hans the Elder of Schleswig-Holstein-Hadersleben. It then became a Latin school, which was dissolved in 1665. The remains of the abbey and school library became the foundation of the library of the newly foundedUniversity of Kiel . 1773-1865 the area of Bordesholm was administrated by the King ofDenmark by virtue of his being Duke of Holstein.
