The name Kiel appears as early as the lOth century in the form of Kyl fprobably from the Anglo-Saxon work Kille - meaning safe place for shipsl. ln l2L2, it received the Lubeck rightsg in the lhth century it acquired various trad- ing privileges, having in l28L entered in the Hanseatic League. By the treaty of Kiel in l8lA, Norway was ceded to Sweden. In 1773 Kiel became part of Denmark, and in l866 it passed with the rest of Schleswig-Holstein to Prussia. It is situated at the southern end of the Kieler Forde, 75 km. north of Hamburg. It consists of an old town, lying between the harbour and a sheet of water called Kleiner Kiel, and a new town.

The new buildings were erected in l876, and connected with them are a library and a school of forestry. The university has a good medical school.
