history
In the Middle Ages , Kliplev belonged to the Lundtoft harde , which was named after Kliplev in King Valdemars II's earth book of 1231. Kliplev's church was an important place of pilgrimage not far from the ox path . The legal and administrative district was administered from the lordly castle Søgaard (Seegard). In the 14th century, however, this fell into noble hands and could no longer be redeemed by the duke or king . From then on, Søgaard was the largest aristocratic estate in the Duchy of Schleswig , and several of its owners served as royal governors in Schleswig and Holstein . The entire parish of Kliplev was under the estate. In 1722 the big business was over when Søgaard went bankrupt. In the end, however, the lords' headquarters were no longer Søgaard, but Gråsten (Eng. Gravenstein ) in the eastern part of the complex. The individual main and Meierhöfe were sold to various nobles until 1725, including Gråsten to the Duke of Augustenborg . From then on Søgaard was only a relatively small estate. In the parish of Kliplev, Årtoft (dt. Ahretoft ) also made its own business as its own.
When the noble estates lost their administrative independence in 1853 and were from then on only rural communities, the old Lundtoftharde was restored. From then on, Kliplev was only subject to one sovereign jurisdiction, which in turn was subordinate to the Aabenraa office.
The war between Denmark and the great German powers led to the annexation of the Duchy of Schleswig to Prussia in 1867 . The four rural communities came to the new Aabenraa district , which was almost identical to the old office.
In the referendum in 1920 there was a Danish majority in Kliplev. From then on, the parish of Kliplev formed a unified municipality in the newly structured Danish Aabenraa office .
In 1970 Kliplev was merged with Felsted and Varnæs to form the new municipality of Lundtoft. The name alludes to the old Hardes center in the parish of Kliplev, which however did not gain in importance. The town hall was moved to Felsted. In 2007, Kliplev became part of the large municipality of Aabenraa, which, however, has greatly changed its size and is equivalent to the old Aabenraa office.
Attractions
The Seegaarder See ( Søgaard Sø ) has the reputation of being the most beautiful lake in North Schleswig . Most of it is accessible, but the north-eastern bank is restricted area from Søgaard barracks.
