The Hafermarkt ( Danish : Havretorv (et) ) is a crossing area in Flensburg , which formerly served as a market place for grain in the parish of St. Johannis . Angelburger Strasse , Bismarckstrasse , Glücksburger Strasse , Kappelner Strasse and Heinrichstrasse meet on the oat market sloping to the west . The oat market is located on the edge of the Johannisviertel, a district of the Jürgensby district . However, the oat market is already part of the Sandberg district .

history

In the Middle Ages there was no development in the area of ​​the oat market, but even then the streets and paths collided there. The area was in front of the city ​​fortifications of Flensburg and the Johannistor located there . But around the second half of the 16th century, there were suddenly a few private houses in this area. The city renewed a long-standing construction ban in front of the city wall and ordered that existing houses had to be demolished. It should be made more difficult for an approaching enemy to establish themselves there. The oat market was first mentioned in 1764. In 1777 the ban was relaxed. The city wall had long since largely lost its military importance. Since then, farms have been allowed to build in front of the city gates. But craft and trading companies that could have rivaled those in the city should remain banned. Nevertheless, building space was also required because the economy grew and apartments were in demand. At the end of the 18th century, the Neustadt district in front of the city wall was built in the north, on the other bank of the fjord. The construction ban was not lifted entirely until 1796.

At the oat market, however, the farmers of the surrounding fishing region had been selling their grain for a long time since the 18th century despite the aforementioned building ban, so they were trading. The trading post was conveniently located thanks to the five streets that met here. With the end of the 18th century developed then a small people quarters above the oat market in the field of ravines . And in 1840 the Johannistor, which stood at the end of Angelburger Strasse at number 81, was demolished. The oat market maintained its function as a market place until the last quarter of the 19th century. Then the streets were widened and the buildings were renewed. In 1987/1988, a small shopping center was built on the lower part of the oat market, house numbers 1-7, for which the old houses there were demolished. In early 1990, sat down by squatting in the house at the Heinrich Straße 8 in the amount of the oat market one of punks existing alternative scene found the subculture from which housing and cultural project Hafermarkt developed.

The oat market is therefore not far from downtown Flensburg , where most of Flensburg's trade is concentrated. Nowadays there are only a few shops at the Hafermarkt and the area from the upper Angelburger Straße to the Hafermarkt is threatened with vacancy . Aldi is the largest shop there and is located at the aforementioned shopping center on Hafermarkt. Lidl closed its branch in the small shopping center in January 2014. Furthermore, there is the bottom of the textile - discounter KiK . The shop area of Fahrrad Petersen , in the southern upper area of ​​the oat market, is also very large . The bus stop for lines 3, 7, 10 and 11 is to the west and north-east. There is also a kiosk at Hafermarkt that has been there for a long time. There are also a few smaller shops. Due to Lidl moving out, the said shopping center is likely to be demolished in the next few years.

In addition to the shops mentioned, the SPD in Flensburg now has its party office on Hafermarkt.

Say about the Green Keel and the Black Pig

Gaststätte Schlips , formerly named after Grönen Keel (2014) The oat market is also the scene of an old legend about a prophesied local apocalypse .

Content of the saga

According to legend, in ancient times there was a well known as Gröne Keel above the oat market . The clear, tasty water of the spring from the fountain basin was collected from four taps and was gladly taken by the residents of St. Johannis. But according to a prophecy, one Sunday morning, when the people were just coming out of church, a huge raven-black pig would run wildly grunting and snorting through the streets of Flensburg to the Grönnerkeel to stir up the stones there. Then the downfall of the city is near. Because there in front of the well the black pig will stand in front of a stone and start to stir it up. But as soon as this first stone was loosened, a jet of water would shoot out, which would immediately turn into an unstoppable, raging stream and which would pour out in all directions. The whole of Flensburg, from the highest tower to the smallest worm, will be drowned in its floods of water. Therefore, it is said, the people of Flensburg take care that no black pig rummages around in their streets and therefore always sweep the streets clean with large brooms. And they would make sure that no black pig came near the source. The fear of the black pig also moved the people of Flensburg to carefully cover them with a large stone and hide them with it. But because this was not enough to really alleviate the fear of the prophecy, the people of Flensburg would have put the pavement that is still there today, so that nowadays nobody really knows where the Grön Keel is actually located at the oat market.

Legend background

The black pig is often portrayed as a kind of wild boar. The next wild boars can be found in the Marienhölzung .

The legend links the motif of a source legend with the sinking of a city. Flensburg was already known for its numerous springs from which clear and good drinking water rose. On the street between Hafermarkt and Südermarkt and from there on to Nordermarkt , at almost the same distance, there were about 30 head-high fountains. Flensburg's abundance of water is thus taken up in the legend. So it says in an old explanation of the legend: Because Flensburg emerged from the water, it must one day go down in the water again. […] As is well known, the city stands entirely on the source ground. The black pig could mean a wild boar or a black-colored angler saddle pig .

The legend of the Grône Keel fountain (also written: Grönne Keel and Grönnerkeel ) and the black pig is often published again and again and is not forgotten. The legend is also occasionally referred to when commenting on local politics regarding Flensburg. Nevertheless, an abandoned black pot- bellied pig that was discovered in 2011 and was walking around in Adelbylund , not far from the oat market, found a loving new home without hesitation.

The Flensburg Rumhaus Johannsen Rum sells a liqueur with liquorice called Swattes Swien ( Low German for black pig ). The Schlips restaurant , which is located at the top of the oat market, at the beginning of Glücksburger Strasse , was previously named after Grönen Keel . In the detective novel, kiss me, honey! by Tatjana Kruse that finds Black Pig also its mention. There it is associated with the actually existing depiction of a little whistling pig in St. John's Church , which is not colored black.

Another Flensburg saga, the saga of the crowing rooster , exists in the area of ​​the ravines , directly above the oat market .

  23. ↑ A translation of the name Gröne Keel was not passed down with the legend and the name is usually not translated into standard German. Grön could onomatopoeic "bawl", "drone", "thunder", "whisper" or "bubble and gurgle" mean. The Low German translation "green" is more obvious. (There is a presumption that the fountain box of the fountain was painted green.) The word Keel does have obvious similarity with the word "guy", but it is today with the Danish word kilde (pronounced kille) and the German word source in connection brought and translated as "source". A less obvious translation would be Roaring Guy , more obvious is the more common translation Green Source , although the name could possibly mean something completely different.
