history
In 1618, Duke Hans the Younger , third son of King Christian III, bought it. of Denmark and Duke of the divided duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg , the noble estate Nübel ( Lage ) about four kilometers away . With Gut Nübel, Duke Hans the Younger von Glücksburg acquired an area that was part of the estate, which was described as “wilderness on the beach”. There, at the entrance to the outer fjord, he wanted to build a competing port and trading center with Flensburg . The Duke also owned properties on the other side of the development that would probably have been useful in this project. A long way north of Nübel, directly on the Baltic Sea , the duke settled some workers who were to build the port. Neukirchen emerged from this settlement. The settlement area of the “New Village”, the “Nieby”, apparently consisted of 32 houses. But the duke died four years later. His heirs apparently did not pursue his plans any further, so that the settlement did not grow into a city. Due to a lack of employment opportunities, even twelve of the houses were demolished and the residents were relocated to Glücksburg.
However, the name "Nieby" could not establish itself for the entire village. Construction of the Neukirchen Church began in 1621. A year later the church, which was simply called the "New Church", was consecrated. The name of the church was later transferred to the parish and today's district. Neukirchen was named on the map by cartographer Franz Geerz , on which the landscape and the course of the coast on the fjord were already shown in great detail. Neukirchen was recognizable as a scattered settlement on a map of the Prussian land survey .
At the end of the Second World War , the so-called special area Mürwik with the last imperial government under Karl Dönitz was located 17 kilometers away in the Flensburg suburb of Mürwik . After the partial surrender of the German troops in northern Germany, Denmark, Norway and the northern Netherlands on May 4, 1945 , over 70 submarines were sunk in the Flensburg area in accordance with the rainbow order actually withdrawn by Dönitz . Most of them were sunk not far from Neukirchen in the area of the Geltinger Bay . On May 6th, Lieutenant Asmus Jepsen was executed as a deserter at the Twedter Feld firing range near Mürwik. Asmus Jepsen last lived with his family in Neukirchen. In 2011, a memorial stone to Asmus Jepsen was erected in the Neukirchen cemetery of honor.
In 2013, 120 people had their primary residence in Neukirchen . They lived in 41 residential buildings. Another 32 residential buildings in Neukirchen served as weekend houses or were rented out as holiday guests.
