Altenkrempe - Basilika

Altenkrempe - Basilika
In 1170 "Crempine" was mentioned for the first time. The origins of the name and the place are Slavic.

This "Crempene" was made a German location by Adolf III of Holstein in the course of the Slavic conversion and conquest and the Christian and German penetration of the area. Around 1280 the place was mentioned as "Antiqua Krempa". The additional name "Old" became necessary from 1244 to distinguish it from the new foundation "Nyge Crempe".

The basilica in Altenkrempe was probably begun in about 1190. Presumably, the start of the construction of the Altenkremper church marked the end of the local Slavic mission during the Wendish Crusade.
