Location of Ekenis in Schleswig-Holstein |
||
Ekenis ( Danish : Egenæs ) is a village in the Schleswig-Flensburg district in Schleswig-Holstein . Since March 1, 2013, the formerly independent municipality of Ekenis - with Bicken ( Bikum ), Boknis ( Bognæs ), Ekenisfeld, Ekenislund ( Egenæslund ), Pageroe ( Paverød ) and Wattlück ( Vadlyk ) - has been part of the municipality of Boren .
geography
Ekenis is in fishing on the Schlei . The district of Ekenis, a typical round village, is the center. The place name means top of the oak forest . The Ekenisser estates still have a proportion of forest, but most of the moorland has been converted into pastureland.
history
Ekenis was first mentioned in 1352. Since Ekenis is not recorded in the earth book of the Danish King Waldemar in 1231 , it is assumed that it was founded in the second half of the 13th century. Sites of flint daggers, flint points and several barrows from the Neolithic and Bronze Age bear witness to a settlement from this period. Urn graves from the Roman Empire (1st century CE to 400 CE) and remains of an Ice Age settlement have also been found. Based on the field names it is assumed that the place was founded by Jutian farmers.
In the district of Pageroe there were remains of a medieval castle. Margaret of Denmark bought the castle in 1406 and then had it demolished.
Ekenis and its neighboring communities also seem to have been important for hunting, as there were royal hunting districts whose boundary stones , the so-called hunting stones, can still be found in the region today. Most of the stones protruding about two meters from the ground show a royal crown, including the inscription F 5 for King Friedrich V, including GA for Gottorf Amt and the letters WB for wilderness. At the end, the year 1760 follows. Two of the stones bear the inscription C 7 for King Christian VII and the year 1800 under the crown , with the letters GAWB missing.
The former elementary school is now home to a kindergarten.
In 1997 the "Dbodshuus Ekenis" was inaugurated. A former agricultural barn had been converted into two small apartments, a meeting room and a fire station with a lot of personal contribution .
The name Ekenis means something like a promontory among the oaks , going back to Danish. næs , German nis for nose, headland and old Danish. ek , new dan. eg , niededt. eek for oak. Ekenislund goes to Danish. lund for wood, grove, clearing back. Wattlück was documented in 1854 in writing and going to the Danish Løkke (mdän. Lyk ) for coupling and vad (nd. Watt ) back for a ford or crossing point. The place name Bicken (in the 19th century also Bickum ) comes from old Danish. * Bækkium as dative plural form with transition from / æ / to / i / to adän. bæk back and means to the brooks .
coat of arms
Blazon : "A golden tip in blue, inside a green oak leaf placed slightly to the left, covered with three silver acorns."
The first settlement took place on a flat headland lined with oaks (today the village center and "Kattsund"), surrounded by meadows and marshland , which at the time was flooded for most of the year. The golden tip in blue in the coat of arms stands for the headland surrounded by water and swamp and at the same time for the ending "nis" in the place name, which is to be understood as headland / peninsula (Danish næs ). The oak leaf serves as an indication of the oak population before the settlement, indicates the part of the place name "Eke" (= "oak") and is reminiscent of the peace oak in the center of the village in front of the kindergarten. The three acorns stand for the homes (Katensiedlungen) Wattlück, Ekenisfeld and Bicken. The Schleswig colors of gold and blue represent membership of the Schleswig-Flensburg district .
economy
Ekenis is mainly characterized by agriculture.
Moostoft nature experience area
The Moostoft nature experience area is a dead ice hole that slowly grew up and silted up over the millennia after the last ice age , which at the beginning of the 20th century presented itself as a boggy and moss-populated wet meadow , had been rigorously drained and has been used as pasture for cattle since the end of the Second World War and horses - an ideal area for renaturation and redevelopment of various wetlands.
In autumn 1996, the first work began as part of the village renewal .
A small, slowly flowing brook, three differently shaped ponds, an old peat hollow as a demonstration project and two reed beds as biological wastewater treatment systems are among the core elements.
On January 25, 2000, the Ministry for the Environment, Nature and Forests recognized the facility as the 20th nature experience area of Schleswig-Holstein.
