Trittau was first mentioned in 1167 in a document from Duke Henry the Lion, and a second time in 1239 when the church was built, which initially belonged to Reinbek Abbey.
In 1326, Count Johann der Milde had Trittau Castle built to protect him from the robber barons Scarpenbergh from Linau. The purpose of the fortified complex, which initially looked more like a castle, was to protect the important trade routes to Lübeck and Hamburg and the Elbe crossing at Artlenburg. The castle was the seat of the bailiff who administered the Trittau district.
In 1534, during a feud between the counts, the mercenary leader and Lübeck mayor Marx Meyer, who came from Hamburg, took Trittau. In the Treaty of Stockelsdorf, it was returned to the Gottorfer in exchange for Travemünde, which was briefly occupied by the Danish.
In 1775 the castle was demolished due to dilapidation. From then on, the bailiff resided in Reinbek Castle.

Trittau was one of the 17 so-called wooden villages.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Trittau and the Hahnheide were a popular destination for the citizens of Hamburg as a climatic health resort. For a long time there was a direct rail connection to Hamburg-Tiefstack with the Südstormarnsche Kreisbahn (until 1952) and with the Schwarzenbek–Bad Oldesloe railway to Schwarzenbek and Bad Oldesloe (until 1980).

At the end of the Second World War, Germany was gradually occupied. On May 1, 1945, British tanks arrived in Trittau and occupied the place. On May 4th, Hans-Georg von Friedeburg signed the partial surrender of the Wehrmacht for Northwest Germany, Denmark and the Netherlands on behalf of the last Reich President Karl Dönitz, who had previously left with the last Reich government in the special area of Mürwik. The war finally ended with the unconditional surrender on May 8, 1945.
At the end of the war, numerous refugees and expellees from the eastern regions of the German Reich had fled to Schleswig-Holstein (cf. Refugees in Schleswig-Holstein after the Second World War). People also fled to Trittau, for example a train of railway workers on the Freienwalde-Zehden narrow-gauge railway with their families. As a result, the population of Trittau doubled.
