Hohlwege (Danish: Hulvejene ) is the name of an area of ​​the city of Flensburg , above the oat market , which nowadays largely belongs to the district of Jürgensby and partly to the district of Sandberg .

history

Since Flensburg's city ​​center was formed in the valley around the Fördespitze, the roads led into the city over the ridge edges to the west and east. Even when laying out the paths, you had to flatten the steep edges mentioned a little by digging yourself through the edges. Through the centuries of use by carts and draining rainwater, these paths dug deeper and deeper into the ground, creating the Flensburg ravines.

The area ravines earlier consisted of several sunken roads and the local Bredenberg (Bredebjerg) , which is why the area is also sometimes referred to as ravines and Bredenberg was called and will. At the end of the 18th century, a small people quarter was formed in the said area, the residents of which worked in the city. At that time, the area was still part of the official reason, although it was close to the city. The Hohlwege area consisted and consists in detail of Kappelner Straße (Kappelgade) , which was previously called Süderhohlweg, and the lower part of Glücksburger Straße (Lyksborggade) , which was called Norderhohlweg. The upper part of the road was not part of the Hohlwege area. Because the Norderhohlweg used to be particularly humid, it was also called the Wasserhohlweg. The school corridor (Skolesti), via which one can get directly from one ravine to the other, if one does not choose the detour via the oat market, has been documented since 1627. At that time, too, you got to a church school in St. Juergens via the road . The first cottage was built in 1735 on the small Bredeberg am Hohlweg. The name Bredeberg has been attested since 1746. In the 19th century the Pölskrug was located on the small mountain. In 1856 the Hohlwegschule was founded in Norderhohlweg, the current school building of which was built in 1884 based on a design by the architect Otto Fielitz .

Since 1876 the street Bredeberg could be found in the address book next to the small mountain of the same name. The said area ravines with an area of ​​5.5 hectares. was incorporated in 1877. After the incorporation, the two ravines were given their new names on July 20, 1881. The Norderhohlweg was given the name Glücksburger Straße, because you got to Glücksburg via this path, and via the Süderhohlweg or Kappelner Straße you got to fishing and finally to Kappeln . The ravine character of the two streets is still clearly visible today. The embankments located there are supported by field stone walls. In 1949 the small Danish church, the St. Hans Church (Sankt Hans-Kirke) , was established and consecrated there. It is not to be confused with the Johanniskirche (Sankt Hans Kirke) , which can be found in the nearby Johannisviertel , or with the Johanniskirche (Sankt Hans Kirke) in Adelby .

Say of the crowing rooster

According to legend, lived east of Flensburg in Dollerupholz could witches once a witch what she wanted. One day, like many others, she wanted to go into town with her. She let a farmer take her with her on his wagon. As they drove through one of the narrow roads above the city, the farmer asked them: “Can you see Flensburg?” She replied: “No, I can't see it through the many houses.” The farmer then stated: “ You are not clever! I would not have thought that. I'm smarter than you. The many houses are Flensburg! ”That annoyed the witch. Immediately she cursed the farmer into a rooster. Even today he crows around the ravines of Flensburg at night. (See also Blocksberg (Flensburg) in this context )

The area nowadays

Nowadays, next to the old elementary school, which continues to be called Hohlwegschule, the Danish Jørgensby-Skolen, which apparently originated sometime in the second half of the 20th century, is located there. It is not to be confused with the older St. Jürgen School . The small Danish church can still be found there. The Penny-Markt, at the end of Kappelner Straße, opposite the church, provides local supplies in the area. At the end of Kappelner Strasse, the street Adelbylund (cf. Adelbylund ) begins , where the St. Johannis Mühle is located. On the small Bredeberg there is a larger single-family house , which has a beautiful house plaque from the Flensburg Beautification Association. The street of the same name still reminds of the name of the mountain.

More ravines in Flensburg

  • Marienstraße (Mariegade) , lies on the west side of Flensburg. The land register from 1436 testifies that it was classified as a ravine at that time. Nowadays it is hard to imagine the shape of a ravine.
  • Junkerhohlweg (Junker Hulvej) , is located on the west side of Flensburg, near the area where the Duburg stood. The character of the ravine can still be seen today in the upper area at Duburger Strasse (Duborggade) through the high retaining wall made of field stones.
