Glücksburg Forest
The Glücksburg Forest is a 600 hectare forest area in Schleswig-Holstein , the area of which belongs almost entirely to the city of Glücksburg , but is a part of the Flensburg state forest .
Description of the forest areas
The Glücksburg Forest, in which 24 tree species occur, includes four large forest areas: Tremmeruper Wald , Wille , Friedeholz and the Schlosswald . The Glücksburg forest areas are almost exclusively owned by the state, only the very small wooded area on Gorch-Fock-Straße belongs to the local DRK home.
Due to the growth of Glücksburg and the creation of motorways, the forest areas were separated more and more over time.
Tremmerup forest
Southwest of Glücksburg lies the Groß-Tremmerup forest, which can be distinguished from Klein-Tremmerup between the Schlossteich and Sandwig. This predominantly consists of mixed forest , mainly beech and oak . In September 1945, the year the war ended, the Flensburg forests were almost cleared. The Tremmerup forest is also likely to have been partially affected. However, very old trees that are around 200 years old can still be found there today. A total of 20 km are designated as riding and hiking trails, of which a few hundred meters are marked as open-air dogs. In the center of the forest is the Roikier Lake, the only real forest lake in the fishing region . To the west, the forest area, at the height of Meierwik, is joined by the southern wood, which is often simply called Fördewald. This adjacent wooded area extends to the city limits of Flensburg , where the street Am Fördewald is located. This part also belongs to Glücksburg. Only the forest area in the Twedter Feld area , where the Tremmerup forest settlement is located, belongs directly to Flensburg. The Tremmeruper Wald is now part of a green corridor that extends from the Flensburg harbor , over the Lautrupsbachtal , Adelby , Vogelsang , Blocksberg and Tremmeruper Wald to Glücksburg Castle .
The forest Groß-Tremmerup covers an area of 183 ha, Klein-Tremmerup 62.5 ha. The name of the forest goes back to an earlier settlement Tremmerup. The name is first attested in 1691 and is derived from the personal name Thrimi , which in turn is derived from the Danish * thrimma for hopping .
At the beginning of the 20th century, the "Augustabuche", a double beech ( Fagus sylvatica ) ( location ) named after the wife of a chief forester, existed on one of the forest paths south of the Westerwerker See . The following data has been handed down from the shape of the double beech: “trunk circumference (both trunks): 4.59 meters, separation point: 1.30 meters, individual circumference 3.08 meters and 2.85 meters, crown diameter 25 meters. - The two trunks were completely connected in the crown by a cross branch, so that there was a united crown. "
will
The forest will (Danish Vilde or Ville ) is located between the district and the Meierwik Glücksburger area Quellental , directly on the Flensburg Fjord on the outskirts of Glücksburg. Here you will find one of the few near-natural forests in the hilly ground moraine landscape in the north of Angelns. The beech forest runs on slopes facing the fjord. Due to the wind conditions, the beech trees show bizarre growth forms. In the forest itself there are numerous floristic features such as B. mountain hard hay or the spruce asparagus . Until the 2000s, the Forst Wille was very popular with sports clubs because it had a fitness trail.
The name is first recorded in 1668 as Willöe . It is probably a contraction from dan. vælde or hvilde ( flow out, gush out, cf. vældekilde ) and høj for an elevation, is thus related to the spring valley. According to another derivation, the name comes from a pastor Welling who lived on the Nygaard farm until 1582.
Peace wood
The Friedeholz (Danish. Fredskov ) is located in the core of the city, the course until after -looking . It covers approximately 300 hectares. The forest was in the 19th century. reforested as part of a planting campaign. There is an old forester's house, the seat of the Glücksburger Waldjugend , as well as a natural playground for children and a gate with wild boars . The dolmen path , which runs for several kilometers through the forest, is new . It offers information boards about the barrows in the Friedeholz. An educational forest trail in Glücksburger Friedeholz is only rudimentary.
Parts of the forest belong to the nature reserve Pugumer See . There is an absolute ban on entry here. A white-tailed eagle has been nesting in the peace wood for some time , the location of its nesting site is not published by the forester. There is also a mixed beech forest in the cemetery, and alder and ash trees are often found in the moraine area, not least in the swamp forests of the forest. Old trees alternate with natural regeneration.
The artificially created proportion of softwood has been significantly reduced in recent years. It is managed in the Glücksburg state forest according to the principles of near-natural silviculture .
Noteworthy are stones with chiseled field names in Friedeholz, e.g. B. The Elfenwiese , the Russenberg , which is reminiscent of the Cossacks who moved through Glücksburg in 1814, or "Old Omnibus". These stones, which are used by hikers for orientation, were made by a company from Glücksburg. The old omnibus was a bus that was used by parts of the Reich government to flee Berlin to Glücksburg in early May 1945. - The Friedeholz was in May 1945 on the edge of the special area Mürwik , where the last Reich government established itself and was finally arrested on May 23, 1945. The bus driver had driven the bus to Friedeholz near the Schauental and parked it. A commemorative plaque from the Schöne Glücksburg eV association on the bench there has been explaining its background since 2014 with the words: “The bus in which the staff of the then government fled Berlin during the last days of the Second World War in May 1945 was parked here Had found shelter! ”For the next few decades the bus stood there and aged. The seats, windows and tires were gradually dismantled by strangers until only the skeleton was left. It was not until much later, in the 1980s, that the old bus was finally disposed of, but was retained as a field name. - There is also the Köhlerweg , which is reminiscent of the charcoal factory that was located in Friedeholz. The Glücksburger Waldjugend is based there where the charcoal burner once owned its hut .
The so-called bird meadow is also part of the cemetery. In the Middle Ages there were two lakes in the area of today's Vogelwiese, which over the centuries shrank to ponds due to human impact , until the area was finally drained in the 19th century. In 2002, 25 hectares of the bird meadow were rewetted.
Around 2009 the situation of the game reserve and the natural children's playground in Friedeholz was classified as problematic. Neither the city of Glücksburg nor the state of Schleswig-Holstein could raise money for urgent renovation work. Thanks to numerous donations, mainly from citizens, the necessary budget for this was raised.

Castle forest
This forest area is to the northwest of Glücksburg Castle , which is separated from the Tremmeruper Wald in the southwest by the Uferstraße, separated from the Kurpark in the west by the Strandweg and Sandwigstraße and separated from Friedeholz in the northeast by the Paulienallee. The spa center can be reached from the city center via the footpaths of the castle forest. In the castle forest, on the northern bank of the castle pond, there is the so-called royal oak ( location ). In the northeast of the castle forest is the wooded Jungfernberg , which is apparently now and then also assigned to the area of peace wood. Duchess Anna Caroline (1751–1824) had part of the castle forest laid out in 1770, which is why it was formerly named “Carolinenlund” in her honor. (The word "Lund" denotes a grove or a forest in Danish and to this day in numerous Schleswig place names .) The north-eastern forest area on Paulinenallee, between Friedeholz and Sandwig, with the wooded Jungfernberg there, which is approximately 19 hectares in size, is Incidentally, today it is often called Jungfernberg as a whole.
Forest on Gorch-Fock-Straße
The Glücksburg forest areas are almost exclusively owned by the state, only the very small area of about one hectare on Gorch-Fock-Straße belongs to the local DRK home. This area is ecologically interesting because it is not accessible, no forestry activities are carried out and it is therefore left to its own devices.
Glücksburger forestry
The Glücksburger Wald is part of the Schleswig-Holstein State Forest with a central administrative office in Neumünster . The Glücksburger Försterei, which has its own forest managers and a district forester, is responsible for the management of the Glücksburg Forest. That district manager has meanwhile become a district forester due to the extensive reforms in the area of the state forest. This means that the Glücksburg forestry department also takes on the management of the surrounding forest areas in the Schleswig-Flensburg district. These include the Klueser Forest , the Lindewitter Forest and the Handewitter Forest . The Glücksburger Forsthaus is located near the Glücksburg Castle in the city's spa district.
Without exception, the forest areas are managed according to the principles of near-natural silviculture .
Forest rescue point
Two rescue points have been set for the Glücksburger Wald : Friedeholz with the number 70801 and Groß-Tremmerup with the number 70803. In an emergency, the number must be given to make it easier for rescue workers to locate them.
Forest Museum
There is a forest museum established by the former forester of the city of Glücksburg and one of the co-founders and former federal director of the German Forest Youth, Dietrich Weldt . It is located on the edge of the Friedeholz in a building that previously served as a church for a New Apostolic congregation. The forest museum is intended as a replacement for a forest nature trail , which was also built in the 1960s by the then Glücksburg forester Weldt and was one of the very first nature trails in Germany. The museum was officially opened in late November 2009. On the one hand, the history of the forest in Schleswig-Holstein, including the animal and plant species that occur in it, is presented. In addition, one of the rooms deals with the topic of forest and art .
Legends and poetry from the Glücksburger Wald
The Freischütz
The legend reports that the Duke of Glücksburg once had a hunter who had not met any game since he served him. Annoyed about it, the Duke said goodbye to him. Sadly, the released hunter walked away, not knowing how to feed himself in the future. He couldn't understand how he ended up hitting nothing because he used to be a good shot. He was walking through the Tremmerup wood with worried thoughts when he met an old mother. She asked him what was wrong with him and he told her everything. "That was easy to remedy," she told him. When he went to supper he should take the wafer out of his mouth behind the altar. Then he should hang her in a tree and shoot her. Then it would be safer than ever before. The hunter obeyed the old mother's words. He then went back to the Duke and explained to him that he had practiced shooting. so that he would now always meet. He would be happy to be in his service again. The Duke agreed to convince himself of the new shooting skills. Together they went into the forest. As they now crossed the bridge, the duke saw three wild ducks fly over them; he pointed this out to the hunter and told him to shoot one of them. “Which?” Asked the hunter. "The drake," answered the duke. The hunter aimed his rifle, fired, and the drake fell at her feet. The Duke felt scary. The bad guy had to be involved. So he said to the hunter: “I can't use you, you shoot better than me” and let him go again. Shortly afterwards the hunter's hat was found under the red bridge and his body quartered a hundred paces further, under the alder trees not far from the path.
The Freischütz is a common motif from hunting mythology . The opera Der Freischütz by Carl Maria von Weber also deals with this motif . The saga of the Glücksburger Freischütz is not the only hunting saga in the Flensburg area, another is the saga of the wild eternal hunter from Oldemorstoft (also: Waldemarstoft).
Poem about the Elfenwiese in Friedeholz
The Elfenwiese in Friedeholz has been inspiring people with spiritual interests for a long time. A plaque with the poem The Encounter by Eleonore Hermann was erected on the Elfenwiese .
Extract from the lyric text:
It whispers and chirps, it rustles and blows.
And there, in the last rays of the sun, there is a lovely fairy.
She extends her hand and caresses my heart,
wipes away the tears and my pain [...]
