history

The name Meierwik is derived from the Latin word "maior" and therefore refers to the activity of a Meier , ie an administrator. Wik, the second part of the name, denotes a bay, so that the meaning of the name is: Major Bay or Meier Bay . The name Meierwik originally describes the bay there, which is now called Meierwik Bay. A Frohnhof was built on the bay there in the 16th century on behalf of Duke Christian . This Meierhof (later called "Alter Meierhof") served as the seat of his landlord administrative officer who, according to his wishes, cultivated the ducal estates according to established rules. - The old Meierhof and the later settlement called Meierwik belonged to the parish of Munkbrarup .

In 1841 the western Meierwik was acquired by Baron Schack von Brockendorf zu Petersholm and Thomasgaard, royal chamberlain . He made his country estate out of it, which he called Solitude . There was an old watermill in eastern Meierwik. The stream Mühlenbek (also: Friesbek called), which comes from the nearby Tremmeruper forest , drove them on. In addition, the miller Erich Nicolai Nissen built a windmill in Meierwik in 1845 , the "Hope" mill . For the year 1854 there is also evidence of a brickworks on the border with eastern Meierwik, which still belonged to the mentioned western part. In 1868 the miller Erich Nicolaus Nissen discovered that his location was no longer particularly favorable. He hardly had any customers near his mill. So he had his mill dismantled and rebuilt in Munkbrarup , where there was no windmill before. The entire mill technology, the wooden construction of the hull, the cap of the mill and many other components were dismantled and driven to the new location in a horse-drawn carriage.

In 1910 Solitüde (i.e. western Meierwik) was incorporated into the city of Flensburg as part of Twedter Holz . During this time, the Mürwik naval school was established and Mürwik developed into the military district of Flensburg. In Meierwik, too, a barracks was later built on the eastern edge. In May 1945, Meierwik was in the newly established Mürwik special area . In the 1950s, the aforementioned Glücksburg-Meierwik barracks were occupied by the fleet command.

In the 20th century there was a restaurant in the Alter Meierhof that benefited from its location on the fjord. However, in the 1990s, the restaurant burned down completely. Soon afterwards, the married couple Gerlinde and Gerd Theilen built the hotel that is located there today, which opened in 1999. The head chef has been Dirk Luther since 2006 . He has also been the hotel manager since 2014. The watermill still stood in Meierwik until the 20th century, of which only the “Mühlenbekteich” and the street Zur Alten Wassermühle are evidence of today . The "Hope" mill has been preserved and is still in Munkbrarup today. Today there is a kindergarten in the old estate of Mittkoppel . At the beginning of the 21st century, increased building activity began in Meierwik, which is apparently not yet completed today. Meierwik is now completely fused with Flensburg through solitude. In contrast, the distance from the Meierwiker access road to the fleet command to the Quellenental , which is on the edge of Glücksburg, is 650 meters. The fleet command was dissolved in 2012, but the site has not yet been released.
