Öhr (Schleswig)
The Öhr (also Oehr , Danish Ør ) was an approximately 11 hectare peninsula in the Schleswig district of Friedrichsberg at the western end of the Schlei . The peninsula was first mentioned in writing in 1654. It was also nicknamed Hillige Öhr , because the missionary Ansgar is said to have baptized several people there in the Viking Age in 826 . The peninsula (like the place Friedrichsberg itself) was closely related in the nearby Gottorf Castle in the early modern period . In the 17th century the area was given to the Duke of GottorfFriedrich III. given to his valet and building inspector Otto Jageteuffel on a long lease. During the German-Danish War there was a Danish ski jumping hill to secure the Danewerk line. To the north of the Öhr was the Tegelnoor (dä Teglnor ), where several shipwrecks from the Thirty Years' War were discovered in the 19th century ( Schleswig-Tegelnoor wrecks ). In the south, the Öhr was bordered by the Otternkuhle, an indentation in the Schlei that marked the border with the neighboring municipality of Busdorf .
With the construction of the federal highway 76 as a bypass road, the north bordering Noor was built over and the Öhr lost its status as a peninsula. A previous property was demolished in 1973. Instead, there is now a nursing home and several sports facilities on the Öhr. The Wikingturm was built in the immediate vicinity from 1970 .
