Schleswig-Flensburg
Schleswig-Flensburg (; da, Slesvig-Flensborg) is a district in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is bounded by (from the south and clockwise) the districts of Rendsburg-Eckernförde, Dithmarschen and Nordfriesland, the Region Syddanmark in Denmark, the city of Flensburg and the Baltic Sea. History Written history in the area began about 800 AD, when the Danish Viking settlement of Haithabu was founded. Later the neighbouring city of Schleswig took the place of Haithabu and became a powerful town in the 11th century. It later lost its power to Lübeck. The district was established in 1974 by merging the former districts of Flensburg-Land and Schleswig.

Jaruplund Højskole
Jaruplund Højskole is the only Danish folk high school in Southern Schleswig, Germany and is located 10 km south of the border in Flensburg. As a meeting point between two cultures, the school's programs focus on promoting greater understanding between the two nations and Europe at large. History The first Danish folk high school in Southern Schleswig, Aagaard Højskole, was open from 1863 until 1889. After the Second World War, a public push to renew relations between Denmark and Germany led to the reestablishment of a folk high school in the area. The school first opened in 1950 after land was donated by its founder, Meta Røh. Originally, classes had taken place in buildings formerly used for refugees after World War II. Today, the former refugee barracks have been replaced by modern buildings. Its modern facilities include an in-house cinema, computer lab, sauna, silver workshop, and 37 single and double ensuite bedrooms. Rectors * Jørgen Holm Jessen, 1950–1954 * N ...

Villages In Schleswig-Holstein
A village is a clustered human settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town (although the word is often used to describe both hamlets and smaller towns), with a population typically ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand. Though villages are often located in rural areas, the term urban village is also applied to certain urban neighborhoods. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings; however, transient villages can occur. Further, the dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed settlement. In the past, villages were a usual form of community for societies that practice subsistence agriculture, and also for some non-agricultural societies. In Great Britain, a hamlet earned the right to be called a village when it built a church. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
