background

The origin of the name, which is apparently composed of the words falcon and mountain , is unclear. There are various castles and districts across Germany that bear the name Falkenberg, for example Gut Falkenberg , near Schleswig . Georg Claeden speculated in the 18th century regarding the background of the name: “I would like to know the origin of this name. Whether our Vorweser themselves divert themselves with the falcon catch [...] ”. However , it is not known whether falconry was actually practiced at the Falkenberg .

The name of the Falkenberg area has been documented since 1587. According to the entry in the earth book of 1594, the Falkenberg paddock was intended to serve as grazing land for the general public. Old, traditional names of places in the said area are also Strucksdamm (middle of the 15th century) and Immenhof (towards the end of the 16th century). The Falkenberg paddock belonged to St. Marien in 1611. The Falkenberger Weg was mentioned for the first time in the Flensburg address book of 1865, and on March 5, 1920 it was shortened to Falkenberg. In 1921 the street was still unpaved.

In the period between the world wars , some new residential areas were built in the city, consisting of detached villas and semi-detached houses, for example at Ostseebad , Ramsharder Feld , Marienhof , Bohlberg and Friedheim . From 1924, the Falkenberg area was also built over with single-family houses. The construction of the aforementioned Falkenberg villa colony was carried out by the city, the construction business Jürgensen and the construction manager Friedrich Tietje. It is also called the "Tietjenkolonie" after the responsible construction manager Tietje. The one- and two-storey single-family houses, often made of red brick, in the homeland security style , are particularly close together in the Strucksdamm and Timm-Kröger-Weg section . Similar houses were built in other adjacent streets. The houses on Matthias-Claudius-Strasse were not built until 1937. The settlement that developed there became popular as the “ Monocle Settlement ”. Most of the well-off and distinguished tenants and owners lived there, mainly naval officers who did their service at the Flensburg-Mürwik base . Many of these buildings are now listed . Construction activity in the Falkenberg area has continued unabated since the 1950s. Since then, terraced houses and apartment buildings have also been built there. Many lawyers, teachers and doctors from the St. Franziskus Hospital and Deaconess Hospital live in the monocle settlement today .

Sometime in the 20th century, the area called Falkenberg was divided into two districts. On the one hand to the St. Gertrud and on the other hand to the city ​​district named after the mill cemetery . Furthermore, the local Falkenbergschule, a primary school , was opened on August 28, 1968. The Falkenberg kiosk at Westerallee number 88 was named after Falkenberg .
