background

On a city map from 1768 there is a "Martinshügel" directly east of Schäferhaus , today's Martinsberg in the southern part of the city was not yet drawn. Somewhere on the Stadtfeld there is said to have been a house of a man named Martin Krüger that was demolished in 1554. The name of the hill could possibly refer to a man named Martin who lived on the Martinsberg a long time ago. It is more likely, however, that the name refers directly or indirectly to Martin Luther . Lutheranism was established in Flensburg for 1526 years . In 1529 the Flensburg Disputation took place in the St. Catherine's Monastery in Flensburg , not far from the Marintsberg, at which the introduction of the Reformation in Denmark and the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein was decided. On the 300th anniversary of Martin Luther's death, on February 18, 1846, pastors from Flensburg established the Martinstift , the building of which is a long way south on Eckernförde Landstrasse . The higher area could have been named after the aforementioned Martinstift.

At the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century , multi-storey rental apartment buildings were built at the beginning of Schleswiger Strasse , which crosses the Martinsberg district, which are now considered cultural monuments . On July 4, 1957, the street in the Martinsberg area officially received its name of the same name. In the same year, the German Red Cross built a retirement home, Haus Martinsberg. At the end of the Second World War , numerous refugees and displaced persons poured into the Fördestadt (cf. population development of Flensburg ). Therefore, at the end of the war, the DRK district association began to care for refugees and wounded in barracks at the train station. The Martinsberg house that was built was initially intended to serve as accommodation for older refugees. The institution that has grown over the years still exists today. When exactly the name of the actual city district came about is unclear. The city district name is basically only used in the official area. The city district today consists of the Martinsberg street area of ​​the same name , the Nane-Jürgensen-Weg and the Niedermai street area with the Munketoftstift . The area also includes the location of the Flensburg brewery and the navigation school , which is used today by the Flensburg University . On the western edge of the city district is the paper mill (see Feldmühle (company) and Mitsubishi HiTec Paper Europe ) and on the eastern edge of the Flensburg station district. In the Martinsberg district, the Oeverseemarsch begins every year on February 6th to commemorate the Battle of Oeversee .
