Kristiansminde

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kristiansminde (German: Christiansminde ) is a street settlement in Frøslev near the German-Danish border near Flensburg .

location

The small town of Kristiansminde is located on the edge of the Frøslev Plantation. The road that connects the houses there leads away from the settlement, south to the border at Wilmkjer (a small place that was divided between Denmark and Germany). The Kolonisthuse settlement is 500 meters south-east of Kristiansminde . The town of Frøslev is two kilometers to the east. The city of Flensburg is about five kilometers east of the settlement.

background

The name of the settlement is made up of the name "Christian" and the Danish word "minde", which means "(for) memory".

Although the settlement was not named on the map of the Prussian land survey around 1879, the outlines of the courtyard buildings at Kristiansmindevej 10 were already drawn. After the referendum in Schleswig in 1920, the settlement was awarded to Denmark.
