Kupfermühle ( Danish Kobbermølle ; [ ˈkɔu̯ʔəʀmølə ]; Low German Kuppermöhl ) is a settlement in the municipality of Harrislee in the far north of Schleswig-Holstein on the German-Danish border , which has grown around the industrial company of the same name ( Crusauer Kupfermühle ).

location

Kupfermühle is located directly on the German-Danish border at the border crossing to Kruså ( German  Krusau ). To the east of the village, on the Danish side of the border, is the Kollunder Forest . South of the village is the border crossing Schusterkate ( Danish Skomagerhus ), which connects Denmark and Germany with a footbridge over the border river Krusau ( Danish Kruså ). To the west of the village lies the Klueser Wald , where the customs settlement established in 1922 is located on the old customs road . Immediately there is also Germany's northernmost ice rink, the Gletscher ice rink, which opened regularly from 1984 to 2016.

The place is connected to the Baltic Sea Cycle Route .

history

Originally, Kupfermühle belonged to the parish of Bov (German: Bau ) in the Wiesharde in the Flensburg district (forerunner of the Flensburg-Land district ). After the Prussian communal reforms from 1867 it became an independent rural community, which was surrounded by the neighboring communities Kollund , Krusau and Niehuus ; The southern neighboring town of Wassersleben also belonged to the latter . In 1920 it became a border town and became part of Harrislee County ; from then on, the evangelical residents had to attend church services in Flensburg's Petrikirche . Since 1938 the village has belonged to the community Harrislee in the Schleswig-Flensburg district .

The name of the place arose from the hammer mill that the Danish King Christian IV had built on the Krusau in the 17th century and whose mill wheel was driven by the water of the stream. As the place name suggests, copper was processed in the factory , later mainly into brass products. After more than 300 years, the traditional factory ended in 1962. The couple Gisela and Bodo Daetz bought the old workers' houses and founded the Gisela-und-Bodo-Daetz-Stiftung Kupfermühle and the impressive museum for those interested in technology. Subsequently, the workers' houses there (Danish: nyboder ), which contain 36 apartments, were restored over several years . In 1997 a small private museum "Kobbermølle Museum" was opened, which in 2006 moved to the "Tower House". In 1998 the Association for the Promotion of the Industrial Museum Kupfermühle eV was founded, which concentrated on maintaining the former industrial site. The museum has been run by an operating company since 2009. In 2013-14, three historic industrial halls were converted into a modern "Copper Mill Industrial Museum " in an authentic location. Today the omnipresent traces of the copper and brass factory, the associated listed old workers' houses and the industrial museum Kupfermühle with exhibits from 400 years of factory and local history offer an impressive museum ensemble.

In 1890 the "Freiwillige Feuerwehr Kupfermühle" was founded on the initiative of the factory owner Friedrich Raben.

Today the place has around 260 inhabitants, this corresponds to a population density of around 100 inhabitants per square kilometer. The volunteer fire brigade , founded in 1890, is deployed 18 to 25 times a year.
