Friedrichsberg (Schleswig)
Friedrichsberg ( Danish Frederiksberg ) is a district of the city of Schleswig . It is located between the Gottorfer Burgsee and the Busdorf pond at the southern end of the Schlei .
history
The Friedrichsberg settlement developed from the end of the 16th century in the vicinity of Gottorf Castle , with some of the court staff and first families from the nobility settling in the vicinity of princely gardens and ponds . Otherwise, the place initially consisted primarily of the farm's economic facilities. Street names such as Herrenstall and Alter Garten still refer to the former location of the riding stables and the kitchen and ornamental gardens of the castle. A decisive impulse for the development of the settlement was the construction of the Gottorfer Damm under Duke Adolf in 1582, which connected Friedrichsberg with the Lollfuß on the northern bank of the Schlei.
Until the middle of the 17th century, the place was known as Kratzenberg (Danish: Kratbjerg ). The earlier name refers to the Danish word krat for bush or thicket. Only after the construction of the church founded and financed by Elisabeth Beling under Duke Friedrich III. from 1650 the settlement got the name Friedrichsberg . Until the establishment of its own parish , the place was still part of the Haddebyer parish .
In 1638 the residents of Friedrichsberg founded a favorite , in 1658 a guild was founded , and a separate school and judicial system was also established. In 1711 Friedrichsberg was merged with Lollfuß and Schleswig to form the combined city of Schleswig . Friedrichsberg thus became the eighth quarter of the Schleistadt. The bond with the court continued after the merger with Schleswig and Lollfuß. After the German-Danish War in 1864, Friedrichsberg, which had been Danish until then, became Prussian. As a result, the new government building of the Schleswig-Holstein provincial government was built between 1876 and 1878 on the site of the former Bjelkeschen Palais in the direct vicinity of the castle. The imposing brick building quickly became popularly known as the Red Elephant and is now the seat of the Higher Regional Court .
In 1869 the Schleswig train station was relocated to Friedrichsberg. The district underwent further changes through the filling of the mill pond, which is centrally located at the Herrenstall, in 1900 and the partial canalization of the mill stream coming from the Busdorf pond. The coastline to the Schlei was changed in the 20th century by the construction of the federal highway 76 and the Wikingturm , by filling in the Tegelnoor and the Otter (n) kuhle (on the border to Busdorf / Bustrup) and the Öhr losing its status as a peninsula.
Attractions
Today Friedrichsberg is best known as the location of the Schleswig train station and as the location of several courts. Friedrichstrasse as a pedestrian zone and the Holy Trinity Church are centrally located . From the buildings from the early days, the Gottorf post house and the watermill with their high water marks in the granite base have been preserved. Also preserved as a guest house of Duke Friedrich III. built Günderothsche Hof (today the seat of the city museum ) and the Prinzenpalais built around 1700 (today the seat of the state archive ).
