 Location of Ensted Sogn in the Aabenraa municipality |
|||||
Ensted Sogn ( dt .: Enstedt ) is a parish municipality ( Danish : Sogn ) in North Schleswig in southern Denmark . Until 1970 it belonged to Harde Lundtoft Herred in what was then Åbenrå Amt, then to Aabenraa Kommune in what was then Sønderjyllands Amt , which was merged into the "new" Aabenraa Kommune in the Syddanmark region as part of the local government reform on January 1, 2007 .
Municipal area
The community is located in the eastern Schleswig hills at the transition to the Geest . Today it has 2,458 residents (January 1, 2020).
There is no village of Ensted, only the lonely church bears this name. The main settlements are the three villages Røllum-Torp (German: Röllum-Torp ), Stubbæk (German: Stübbek ) with 1234 inhabitants and Hostrup (district of Hostrupskov (German: Hostrupholz ) with 471 inhabitants). These formed independent rural communities between 1864 and 1920 during the Prussian period.
history
Ensted was settled early on. In the Middle Ages the area was part of the Lundtoftharde. To the west of the community came, probably at the expense of an older village, the noble Good Aarup (also Årup written), long associated with Søgaard (dt .: Seegaard ), the largest to 1722 Good throughout the Duchy of Schleswig was in conjunction. Afterwards the estate came into the possession of the Duke of Augustenburg , who at the same time acquired Gråsten (Eng .: Gravenstein ) and had Aarup administered from there. The administrative contradiction between manorial rule and self-administered peasantry shaped the community well into the 19th century.
The Lundtoftharde had belonged to Tønder Amt (German: Amt Tondern ) since the Middle Ages , although Aabenraa (German: Aabenraa ), Sønderborg (German: Sonderburg ) and Flensburg were closer. When the country was divided in 1544, Ensted was given to Duke Johann the Elder , except for the aristocratic part which was excluded from the division and which remained under the joint government of all sovereigns until 1713 . After his death, the office of Tondern came to the Duke of Gottorf in 1581 , who had owned the neighboring office of Aabenraa since 1544 . However, the administrative boundaries have not changed. In 1713 and finally in 1721 the part of the Gottorfische state in Schleswig became royal.
It was not until the First Schleswig-Holstein War (1848–1851) that there were administrative changes. The Lundtoftharde was added to the Aabenraa office. Since the Duke of Augustenburg had to sell his goods because of his leading role in the Schleswig-Holstein uprising, Aarup also became a state. For the first time since the Middle Ages, the municipality of Ensted belonged to only one jurisdiction.
After the German-Danish War , also known as the "Second Schleswig-Holstein War", Prussia annexed the Duchy of Schleswig in 1867 . In 1869 the Aabenraa office was converted into the Aabenraa district and the parish of Enstedt was divided into the three rural communities of Röllum-Torp, Stübbek and Hostrup. After the vote on national affiliation in 1920, Ensted, like the surrounding area, became Danish again. From then on, Ensted formed an independent parish community in the Aabenraa office .
The administrative reform of 1970 led to the fact that the municipality of Ensted was merged with Løjt (German: Loit ), a small part of the municipality of Rise (German: Ries ) and the city of Aabenraa to form Aabenraa municipality . Although the localities of the municipality are not structurally connected to the city, they now largely have the character of residential suburbs. Since January 1, 2007, Ensted has been part of the enlarged Aabenraa municipality , which includes more than the previous office.
Economy and Transport
Ensted joins the city of Aabenraa to the south. This is where the country roads from Sønderborg (German: Sonderburg ), Flensburg and Tinglev (German: Tingleff ) (motorway feeder to the south) meet.
The next train station today is Rødekro (German: Rothenkrug ). The Apenrader Kreisbahn with stations in Styrt-om (German: Störtum ) and Hostrup disappeared as early as 1926. However, there are quite good bus connections with Aabenraa and the above-mentioned places on the main roads.
The most important and best-known company in the municipality is the "Enstedværket" (German: Enstedtwerk , also called "Sønderjyllands Højspændigsværk", German South Jutian high-voltage power station ), which was built in 1952 and through which large parts of North Schleswig and at certain times of the day the city of Flensburg are supplied with electricity . It is located near Styrt-om on the south bank of the Aabenraa Fjord (German: Apenrader Förde ) and has its own deep-water port for the landing of coal.
There is also a condensed milk factory in Styrt-om, now part of the Arla group . The brick industry, which used to be important and had seven locations at times, largely disappeared in the 19th century. Tourism on the south bank of the Aabenraa Fjord, where the Elisenlund spa hotel near Hostrupskov was known far beyond the official limits, was permanently destroyed by the construction of the power plant.
Despite its proximity to the power station, Hostrupskov is now a popular and expensive place to live with a view of the fjord. Stubbæk, the largest village in the municipality since the Middle Ages, has grown rapidly since the middle of the 20th century and is still a school location today, although in 2002 it lost its last grocery store. Styrt-om, which was originally just an inn on Flensburger Landstrasse, has also been a not insignificant place to live since the middle of the 20th century due to the industrial settlement, although the proximity to the power station is also felt to be a burden.
Attractions
The small stone house church dates from the Romanesque period. It is located high on the Aabenraa-Tinglev road. From the churchyard you have a wide panoramic view.
The Hostruper See is the largest in North Schleswig.
