Burkal Sogn ( German  Buhrkall ) is a parish ( Danish Sogn ) in North Schleswig , Denmark , right on the border with Germany.

Until 1970 it belonged to Harde Slogs Herred in what was then Tønder Amt , then the two western districts Grøngård and Lydersholm were added to Tønder Kommune , the rest of the parish of Tinglev Kommune . Both belonged to the then Sønderjyllands Amt .

In the course of the local government reform on January 1, 2007 , the Tønder municipality was incorporated into the "new" Tønder municipality , the Tinglev municipality in the Aabenraa municipality (both in the Syddanmark region ). On January 1, 2009, the municipality of Hostrup Sogn to the west was expanded to include the part of Burkal Sogn that was part of the Tønder municipality.

The community had 1690 inhabitants on January 1, 2020.

Municipal area

Burkal Kirke

Burkal is located on the Schleswig Geest , which is mostly flat and level here.

The municipality includes Nolde, Stemmild ( German  Stemmilt ), Lund, Bov ( German  Bau ), Burkal, Stade, Rens ( German  Renz ) and Jyndevad ( German  Jündewatt ), and until 2008 Grøngård ( German  Grünhof ) and Lydersholm ( German  Lüdersholm ). In the period from 1871 to 1920 they all formed independent rural communities, but were combined in the Buhrkall district.

history

Since the Duchy of Schleswig broke away from the Danish kingdom in the 13th century, Burkal has been almost at the center of it. The north-south trade routes, however, passed far west and east. Burkal remained a relatively sparsely populated but comparatively large rural community. From an administrative point of view, it belonged to the Harde (Danish: Herred ) Slogs Herred (German: Schluxharde ). Only a few places were temporarily under other ecclesiastical or aristocratic jurisdictions.

Slogs Herred was part of the Tønder office . When the country was divided in 1544, the area fell to Duke Johann the Elder , who built his Grünhof hunting lodge here. After his death in 1580, the Tønder office fell to Gottorf , where it remained until 1713/21. The Duchy of Schleswig existed under the Danish crown until 1864 and was conquered and annexed by Prussia and Austria during the German-Danish war .

The social contrasts were far less pronounced on the Geest than in the affluent western and eastern parts of the country. Nevertheless, Burkal was the first rural community in the whole of Schleswig (and in the Danish monarchy of that time, including Holsteins in general) to set up a poor labor institution in the 19th century in view of new and previously unknown mass poverty ( pauperism ). Despite numerous doubts, this populist form of social policy became popular in large parts of the country. However, Burkal gave up his institute again after ten years.

During the Prussian period, the parish was divided into the ten rural communities mentioned above. From 1889 these together formed the Buhrkall district . The old office was Tønder with little change limits the circle Tondern been remodeled. In the referendum on national affiliation in 1920, 51% of the voters in Buhrkall voted Danish and 49% German. Since the municipality was placed in the First Zone, where the total result counted for all of North Schleswig , it remained north of the new border and has been a border municipality ever since.

The administrative reform of 1970 devalued the parish communities as political decision-makers. Most of Burkal joined the new municipality of Tingleff , which became part of the Aabenraa municipality on January 1, 2007 as part of the municipal reform . The two western districts Grøngaard ( Grünhof ) and Lydersholm ( Lüdersholm ) came to the Tønder municipality , today since 2007 expanded to the "new" Tønder municipality . Of the 2022 inhabitants that the parish had at the time of this municipal reform in 2007, 1882 lived in the area of ​​the Aabenraa municipality, 140 in the two districts in the area of ​​the Tønder municipality. These two districts were added to the parish of Hostrup Sogn on January 1, 2009 .

Economy and Transport

The large community of Burkal is characterized by agriculture, with the cultivation of potatoes playing a special role . The trunk road 8, Denmark's southernmost west-east connection, runs through several places and is well developed, so that the nodes of Tønder and Tinglev (German: Tingleff ) can be reached quickly. In the south is the Pepersmark border crossing, which is only of local importance. The railway Tønder-Tinglev is silent since 1974 and also the railway station in Bov (dt .: construction ), which is also for the neighboring community Bylderup (dt .: Bülderup was responsible), and therefore Bylderup-Bov said.
