The Holm ( Danish : Holmen ) is a fishing district in Schleswig , located on the Schlei between the old town and Schleswiger Freiheit .

history

The name of the settlement is based on the North German or Danish word Holm . It means little island . The settlement emerged around the year 1000 on a small island off Schleswig, which (until 1933) was only connected to the city by a bridge and had a life of its own with fishing, handicrafts and trade. The oldest Schleswig town charter (12th century) confirms the privileges and special rights of Holmer fishermen, which were affirmed in 1480 with the Schlei privilege / the " Schleibrief" from King Christian I of Denmark: "The fishermen have the right to fish freely all over the Schlei and can stretch their nets to dry on the land, as far as they can throw with the tiller from the ship. " This right applies to this day with a small restriction (according to the court ruling from 1924, fishermen from Holmer are allowed to fish from Schleswig to Sieseby and fishermen from Arniss and Kappelner from Sieseby to Schleimünde). Around 1900, around 100 fishing families lived off fishing on the Holm. In the 1950s it was still around 60. In addition to small / gillnet fish, they jointly operated traditional "seine fishing" until 1968. Today a handful of fishermen still live on the Holm, who practice their craft individually.

After the Thirty Years' War , the Holmer fishermen founded the Holmer Favorite, a so-called "Guild of the Dead" in 1650, to help each other in times of war and plague . The Holmer popular still exists today.

The central part of the district is a small cemetery with its own chapel , around which the individual fishermen's houses are grouped. The St. John's Monastery in front of Schleswig is also located on the spar . This rectangular building, which looks modest in its dimensions and barely 80 × 60 meters in size, was founded as a Benedictine monastery in 1194 and converted into a women's monastery in 1536 . Today there are even some private rental apartments in the monastery buildings. In order to be able to document the history of the district for posterity, the Holm Museum was founded in 1992 as part of the Schleswig City Museum .
