Blasberg (Flensburg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blasberg Street (Flensburg 2015)

Blasberg ( Danish : Blæsbjerg ) is a small, old town in the independent city of Flensburg , which was incorporated into the municipality at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, the street settlement Blasberg, together with the adjacent Volkspark and the development to the east of the Volkspark, which extends to Mürwiker Strasse and the small area of Kielseng, form the urban district of the same name in the district of Fruerlund .

history

designation

The name of the place is interpreted as a "windy hill". The small town was given a name similar to Windloch near Engelsby . It is not entirely clear which elevation was referred to in the naming. If the street Blasberg rises at its beginning at the Mürwiker Straße, it soon drops down again. But originally the entire eastern height in this area on the Flensburg Fjord could just as well have been meant. The People's Park area is roughly considered namely obvious from three altitudes. The Mürwiker water tower further south stands on a hill of about 47  m above sea level. NN . This altitude area further south apparently bears the name Ballastberg . The Flensburg Stadium is located in the immediate vicinity of the Blasberg residential area and is located at an altitude of around 39  m above sea level. Should be located NN . Further northeast beyond the “Wolfsschlucht” is the third altitude of the Volkspark, the Finisberg (see street name Finisberg ). - At the various altitudes of the city district, viewpoints can be found today, from which one can look down to the Flensburg Fjord.

Started as a small settlement

It is unclear exactly when the Blasberg settlement came into being. The existence of the individual small Katendörfer Flensburg is mostly only attested in the 17th and 18th centuries by written records. For the first time mention was the settlement Blasberg in 1759. Presumably, was the Kate settlement Blasberg of Jürgensgaard stored . Around 1825 Blasberg consisted of 10 cottages, half of which were subordinate to the Flensburg Office and the rest belonged to the hospital or monastery. The settlement also apparently belonged to the Adelby parish , although the residents were more oriented towards the city. In addition, the old local road from Blasberg originally led to the nearby Kielseng, on the fjord. It has been handed down from around 1840 that the Blasberg lands were barely used for agriculture .

The buildings Blasberg 1-7, which are still preserved today, were built in the 19th century. Blasberg 1 used to have the address Blasberg 15. It is a plastered, single-storey eaves house with a gable roof . The inscription "AD 1848" can still be found on the gable above the entrance. The neighboring house Blasberg 3, formerly Blasberg 17, was built in 1893 by master bricklayer Hans Sörensen. At the end of the 19th century there was a large dining room in the house.

Blasberg was incorporated in 1900 as part of Jürgensgaard. Only later did it become part of the Fruerlund district . In 1912, the zeppelin "Hansa" flew over the city and took photos of Flensburg. Blasberg and Fruerlundholz were still small settlements back then.

After the incorporation

On August 30, 1921, the local road from Blasberg was officially given the name Blasberg. In September of the same year, the Danish minority held their first annual meeting (De danske årsmøder i Sydslesvig) on the Blasberg in order to manifest their affiliation with Denmark a year after the referendum in Schleswig .

In 1925, the Volkspark area was laid out in the vicinity of the Blasberg street settlement. The Blasberg road running north received a slightly different course at this time. After 200 meters of the original course, the Blasberg street meets the Jahnstraße, which was laid out in 1927. From there, the Blasberg street initially runs in a straight extension of Jahnstraße northwest past the stadium. It then bends to the northeast and further develops the stadium area.

When a large number of refugees and displaced persons came to Flensburg at the end of the Second World War, the Blasberg-West camp was located near Blasberg . It consisted of eight wooden barracks and six stone barracks. Around 1950 it was occupied by 89 people. At the Flensburg stadium there was also the stadium camp , which consisted of only eight wooden barracks but had 206 residents. As a result of the population influx, the city began to grow rapidly. In Fruerlund in particular , many new residential buildings were built in the 1950s. The area of ​​the city district Blasberg was obviously hardly directly affected by this growth. The large area of ​​the Volkspark, which makes up most of the city district, was not built over.

In 1957/58, buildings were erected for the University of Education , in the direct vicinity of the Blasberg street settlement, in the area between the streets Jahnstraße, Arndtstraße, Fichtestraße and Mürwiker Straße. The buildings were thus located directly on the Volkspark's stadium facilities and thus formed a unit in harmonious synergy . In 1959, the University of Education moved from the Mürwik Naval School to a new building at Mürwiker Straße 77.

Blasberg today

Siemers Antik and Cafe on Blasberg Street (2015)

The current development of the street settlement Blasberg consists of several free-standing one to two-storey residential houses as well as buildings in which small businesses can be found. In addition to a café with an attached antique shop , the Hotel am Wasserturm is located there . More recently, the former buildings of the pedagogical university on the Volkspark site were demolished and used for building residential buildings. Around 2015, a 30,000 m² area to the south-east of the water tower, which had previously been used for allotment gardens and with landscaped green spaces, was withdrawn from the Volkspark site and subsequently by Höft, Bauplan Nord, WOGE Kiel and the self-help building association multi-storey residential buildings built over.

As a local supply option, a Sky supermarket was located in the Blasberg district on the edge of the stadium area. There is also a penny market in the neighboring district of Fruerlundhof . The old Mürwiker center of Klosterholz is about 1 kilometer away. Nowadays the “Kiosk Blasberg” and the “Blasberg Pharmacy” on Mürwiker Strasse are also named after the Blasberg district. In addition to other bus stops, there are two bus stops in the Blasberg district, one in the direction of Twedter Plack (2.5 kilometers away) and the other in the direction of Flensburg city center (also 2.5 kilometers away), which are named Blasberg because they are located on Beginning of the street of the same name.
