As Neustadt ( Danish : Nystaden ) refers to the part of the city of Flensburg , who from 1796 as the first outside of the then fortified old town was expanded. The Neustadt extends mainly along the main street that runs through the old town in a north-south direction, which in the area of ​​the Neustadt also bears the name Neustadt (Nystaden) . The Neustadt is on the north side of the Nordertor .

Nowadays, in part, especially by the Flensburg administration, the Duburg area is also counted as part of the Neustadt.

history

In the 18th century there were almost only farm buildings in the area of ​​what would later become the new town, as the magistrate had forbidden to build houses on the town field. Only the millers' houses of the two windmills, the Talmühle or Siigmühle and the still preserved mountain mill (it is on the edge of the Neustadt and already belongs to the Nordstadt district ) were also used for residential purposes, as the mills had to be operated at all times. Parts of the poor houses for the northern part of the city were also in front of the Nordertor. It was not until 1796 that residential houses were allowed to be built on the Stadtfeld.

The Neustadt developed very quickly from then on, not least because of its very convenient location, because all Flensburg traffic to and from the north had to pass the main street. Between the Nordertor and the division into Bau'er Landstrasse (Bov Landevej) and Apenrader Strasse (Åbenrågade), it still bears the name Neustadt today without any further additions. In the southern area, residential and commercial buildings were built on both sides of the street, and existing older buildings were also expanded into representative residential and office buildings (a nice example is Neustadt 15). To the north of this, up to the junction with Harrisleer Straße (Harreslevgade), there were some production facilities (including brickworks) that also benefited from the proximity to the port. In the northern part of the Neustadt, a closed residential development was built, which, however, was followed in the second row by partly important manufacturing facilities.

In the course of the advancing industrialization , which Flensburg reached since the 1830s, the Neustadt developed next to the new developments of the Johannisviertel to the most important industrial location of the now ever faster growing Fördestadt. The best known were Christiansen's distilleries and yeast factory (partly still in operation), the iron foundry Dittmann and Jensen (later Nordic furnace factory - some buildings still exist, including the factory owner's villa Neustadt 42) and later the roller mill .

After the Duchy of Schleswig was annexed to the new German Empire (1864/1867/71), the city's development stagnated for a short time before it entered its largest growth phase to date. On the waterside of the Neustadt, the Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft was founded in 1872 as a large shipyard. The main street Neustadt developed into an important shopping street for the growing northern part of the city. From 1881 the horse-drawn tram and from 1907 the electric tram drove through the Neustadt. In the western and northern side streets, extensive workers' quarters emerged.

In 1908/1909 the St. Petri Church was built on the outskirts of the northern part of the city. Since then it has served as a church in both parts of the city. During the Second World War , the district was hit several times during the air raids on Flensburg .

Until the 1960s, the structure of the new town changed little. But then some of the industrial companies disappeared. Since the 1990s, business life in the district has also been thinned out significantly, but no fewer than four supermarkets in the area of ​​the former industrial companies now shape the image of the Neustadt, which is also one of the largest social hot spots in the city today. Since around 2013 there have been plans to place numerous new buildings between the building fabric, which consists mostly of old buildings. Among other things, it is hoped that the new development will improve the area. Nowadays people are also thinking about improving the location of the Neustadt at the Flensburg harbor in some cases.

Attractions

The list of cultural monuments in Flensburg-Neustadt includes the cultural monuments entered in the list of monuments of Schleswig-Holstein. In addition to the following sights, which are located in the Neustadt district, the sights of Duburg must also be noted. The St. Petri Church , a cultural monument of the northern part of the city, is also located near the Neustadt .

The Nordertor from the north side in summer 2011

Nordertor

The Nordertor is an old city gate of the Flensburg city fortifications and serves as the landmark of the city of Flensburg. Although it is considered a cultural monument of the old town of Flensburg ( Flensburg city center ), it marks the exact border to the new town, so it is on its edge and, with its long view from the street Neustadt, has a special meaning for the district. It is used together with other buildings, for example by the Flensburg North District Forum, as a symbol for the New Town. Accordingly, the senior meeting of the ADS-Grenzfriedensbund in Neustadt is also called the senior meeting place Nordertor . The north side of the gate adorns the coat of arms plaque with the well-known inscription Friede nourished, Unfriede consumed .

Obelisk for the Battle of Bau

The obelisk commemorating the fallen from the Battle of Bau is now on Dreieckplatz , below Harrisleer Strasse, as it was one of the focal points of the fighting. The obelisk used to stand directly on the intersection at the end of Neustadt and thus marked the end of the line of sight to the Nordertor. The obelisk is also sometimes referred to as the Turner monument, but this can be confused with the smaller Turner monument at the Bergmühle .

Old shipyard

The old shipyard is located on Werftstrasse, at the Flensburg harbor , opposite the roller mill. It served the Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft , founded on July 3, 1872, as a shipyard in the early years. At the end of the century, however, the site was already too small and so in 1901 the "New Shipyard" was opened a little further north. The main building at Werftstrasse 24, a listed building, is now the headquarters of Flensburg vehicle construction . Some of the current and former facilities of the Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft are part of the largest industrial monument in the city. The oldest components of this industrial monument are in the aforementioned area of ​​the old shipyard on the waterfront of the new town.

The towering roller mill in the middle of Neustadt 2014

Roller mill Flensburg

The Flensburg roller mill is a former industrial mill with an outstanding silo tower , in which grain was ground. The building complex was built step by step from 1889. Today there are various offices in the roller mill, including the call center of Perry & Knorr GmbH , as well as a branch of the Nord-Ostsee Sparkasse and a wine merchant . Since, in contrast to the Nordertor, it stands in the middle of the new town and towers above it, the building is sometimes also seen as a landmark of the new town.
