Location of the municipality of Borsfleth in the Steinburg district

Borsfleth ( Low German : Borsfleet ) is a municipality in the Steinburg district in Schleswig-Holstein . In addition to the church village, it consists of the four villages of Büttel, Eltersdorf, Ivenfleth and Wisch.

Geography and traffic

Borsfleth is about five kilometers north of Glückstadt an der Stör and the Elbe . The Kremper Au and the Große Wetter flow through the municipality.

history

Borsfleth was first mentioned in a document in 1307 and, in addition to the church village, consists of the four Duchten (villages) Büttel, Wisch (1349), Eltersdorf (1360) and Ivenfleth (1230). The actual founding will probably go back well into the 13th century, especially since Borsfleth's history is connected with the mention of a monastery, because the forerunner of the Cistercian nunnery in Itzehoe was on a still existing worm in front of today's sturgeon dike near Ivenfleth until it was moved to its current location around 1263. The place name Borsfleth means something like "Fleet where perch are".

In 1263 the village was moved to its current location. In 1627/28 it was almost completely destroyed in the Thirty Years' War and suffered serious damage again just a few years later, in the period from 1657 to 1660 in the Second Swedish War.

The entrance to the village is characterized by the old Verlathschleuse with the bridge over the Krempau . It was renewed in 1994. From here you have a direct view of the church with the neo-Gothic tower from 1900. One of the last clinker streets in the Steinburg district is located in the church village . The old pastorate with its approximately one hectare large, tree-lined garden forms the center of the church village.

With the completion of the village renewal carried out from 1984 to 1987, the community published a chronicle.

coat of arms

Blazon : "In red a striding golden swan with raised wings and silver reinforcement."

Borsfleth is one of the so-called seven Kremper-Marsch-Villages. These communities have a uniform coat of arms. For more information see: Office Krempermarsch . The old flag of the Kremper Marsch shows a white swan in red with a crown around its neck. The coat of arms has been in this form for the Stormarn landscape for 500 years. In order to do justice to the old tradition, the villages of the former "Kremper-Marsch-Kommüne" have adopted the old swan coat of arms in a slightly different form and without a crown, whereby the colors change from village to village to distinguish them.

Attractions

In addition to the “Old Village School” from 1683, the pastorate , St. Urban Church and Kokemüller's former house are listed in Borsfleth . Other thatched roof houses are considered cultural monuments .

The community is characterized by restored half-timbered houses .
