map

Bruges is a municipality on the Eider in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district in Schleswig-Holstein . Brüggerholz is located in the municipality.

Geography and traffic

Bruges is about 11 km north of Neumünster and 15 km south of Kiel between the federal motorway 215 and the federal highway 404 .

history

The place, named after the bridge over the Eider, was settled in the course of medieval colonization before 1200 and was first mentioned in 1215. In 1238 it is an independent parish and thus one of the oldest documented parishes in Schleswig-Holstein.

The construction of the St.Johannis-Kirche, a stone church, also began at the beginning of the 13th century. It was redesigned several times and added a wooden tower after the Thirty Years' War . The church is dedicated to John the Baptist . In the church there is a canopy altar from the workshop of Hans Brüggemann , to which the then bailiff Hans Heinrich Kielman von Kielmansegg , a son of Johann Adolph Kielmann von Kielmannsegg , donated the pictures in 1672. The original depiction of the crucifixion, carved from oak, is now in the State Museum Schloss Gottorf .

On the afternoon of June 26, 2020, the roof of the thatched old Brügger Markt inn burned, and the sparks jumped over the neighboring wooden church tower of the 800-year-old St. John's Church.

Bruges was on the road from the Eider to Lübeck , so village life was characterized by inns for travelers and markets.

From 1889 to 1970 Bruges was the seat of the administrative administration of the same name in the Plön district , which was dissolved in the course of the district reform.

The destroyed megalithic structures in Bruges were examined in 1975 by D. Stoltenberg because of the expansion of a gravel pit.
