history

Gottrupel beech which is one of the natural monuments of the region .

Gottrupel was first mentioned in documents in the 15th century. The settlement name Gottrupel is based on the name components: "Gothi" (a personal name), "torp" (meaning village) and "elle" ( alder ). Gottrupel's place name obviously has the meaning: "Gothi's village in the alder tree".

In 1938, gravel mining began near Gottrupel. In the following decades, exploited gravel pits were turned into garbage dumps . In the last days of the war, a large number of the remaining Nazi leaders did not flee to an alleged Alpine fortress , but instead via the so-called Rattenlinie Nord to Flensburg. In Flensburg district Mürwik which was created special section Mürwik where the last imperial government under Karl Doenitz was staying. On March 11, 1946, the concentration camp commander of the Auschwitz concentration camp, Rudolf Höß, who had gone into hiding under a false name, was arrested by the British on a farm in the village of Gottrupel and extradited to Poland, where he was brought to justice and finally executed in Auschwitz. The coat he left behind is now in the collection of the Flensburg Museum .

In the 1960s, after the original village on the "Meyner Mühlenstrom" and next to the area on the "Chaussee-Häuserzeile", the third settlement core was built on the Gottrupelfeld. In 1963, Gottrupel farmers sold 100 hectares of the district to the Federal Property Office . Harrislee and Flensburg surrendered further adjacent areas to the Federal Property Office. In this way, a new large military training area was created at the Briesen barracks in Weiche. In 1967 the Gottrupel school was closed near the motorway bridge. Since then, the children have attended the village community school in Handewitt.

In the 1990s, the Briesen barracks in Weiche was closed. The Nature Conservation Foundation then acquired large parts of the military training area and designated the area as foundation land.

In 2011, the Gottrupel solar park was built near the B 199 . Today the gravel pits and garbage dumps in Gottrupel are closed. Nature has recaptured large areas of the area.
