The name "Vielohmoor" is made up of the Low German words vie (= "break") and loh (= "grove"). Thus, Vieloh means “swamp forest”. A map from the 18th century shows that the area was heavily forested. Today, instead of the moor, there are the swampy Vieloh meadows. The Vielohmoor used to extend from the north-eastern edge of Schnelsen to today's Hamburg state border and thus included the headwaters of the Kollau; the northern part, on the other hand, was in the catchment area of the Mühlenau or Rellau, which means that the moor belonged to the watershed between the Alster and Pinnau. The entire moor area was therefore on the ground of the former Pinneberg dominion. The Niendorf-Nord development area is partly built on sandy elevations of the moor. In 1789, a path through the moor was planned for the first time, which was intended to connect Schnelsen to the neighboring village of Niendorf. However, this project could not be realized due to swampy ground conditions, so that the path only led to the Vielohmoor and the meadows lying there. In 1932 the moor was almost cut off and the project for a third connecting road from Schnelsen to Niendorf was completed after almost 150 years. Today, the Vielohweg is one of the three main connecting roads to Niendorf along with the Wendlohstraße and the Frohmestraße and has been extended there to the Sachsenweg.
