Universitätsstadt Kiel

Kiel ist die Landeshauptstadt von Schleswig-Holstein. Als Holstenstadt tom Kyle im 13. Jahrhundert gegründet, wurde sie im Jahr 1900 mit über 100.000 Einwohnern zur Großstadt. Heute gehört Kiel mit 246.306 Einwohnern zu den 30 größten Städten Deutschlands und bildet das Zentrum der Kiel-Region. Die nördlichste Großstadt Deutschlands liegt an der Ostsee (Kieler Förde) und ist Endpunkt der meistbefahrenen künstlichen Wasserstraße der Welt, des international Kiel Canal genannten Nord-Ostsee-Kanals. Kiel ist traditionell ein bedeutender Stützpunkt der Deutschen Marine und bekannt durch das jährliche internationale Segelereignis Kieler Woche, den Handballverein THW Kiel, den Fußballverein Holstein Kiel und durch die kulinarische Spezialität der Kieler Sprotten.

Von wirtschaftlicher Bedeutung sind neben dem Dienstleistungssektor die größte deutsche Werft ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems und der Kieler Ostseehafen mit den Fähren nach Skandinavien und ins Baltikum. Die kreisfreie Stadt ist Sitz dreier Hochschulen: der Christian-Albrechts-Universität, der Fachhochschule sowie der Muthesius Kunsthochschule.
