Lyksborg danske kirke
The Lyksborg danske kirke (in German: Danish Church Glücksburg ) is a church building of the Evangelical Lutheran Danish Church in South Schleswig ( Danish Dansk Kirke i Sydslesvig ) in the village of Glücksburg ( Lyksborg ) near Flensburg .
history
The Danish community in Glücksburg was founded during the Weimar Republic . The first services took place in 1930. Back then the congregation still met in private houses. The congregation was only granted an independent pastor's position after the Second World War; until then it was still looked after from Flensburg. The request to hold services in the chapel of Glücksburg Castle was rejected in 1945. In 1948 the first plans were made to build an own church building, which was finally realized in 1954 on Paulinenallee ( Paulineallé ). The building was designed as a relatively simple Protestant church with 160 seats. The Danish architect H. Mundt was behind the building. Instead of a church tower, the building has a bell gable . As in other Scandinavian churches, a communion bench is placed in front of the altar for partaking in the Lord's Supper . The church was the first new building of a Danish church in southern Schleswig after the German-Danish War in 1864 and the referendum of 1920 . It is to be extensively modernized in the coming years.
The parish ( Den danske menighed i Lyksbog og omegn ) is part of the Danish Church in southern Schleswig. This is an association of several Danish Evangelical Lutheran congregations in southern Schleswig and does the church work for the Danish southern Schleswig .
