 Location of Rinkenæs Sogn in Sønderborg Municipality |
|||||
Rinkenæs Sogn ( German Rinkenis ; Sønderjysk or Sundevedsk : Rengenæs ) is a parish on the Flensburg Fjord in North Schleswig , Denmark . Since 1966 the municipality has belonged to the municipality of Gråsten ( German Gravenstein ), which in turn merged with the municipal reform in 2007 in the municipality of Sønderborg ( Sønderborg ). The place is opposite the Holnis peninsula .
Municipal area
The area of the municipality is very hilly. In the north it is heavily forested. In the south it opens up to the Flensburg Fjord , the banks of which are accessible through the Gendarmstien , a partially unpaved hiking trail.
The relatively small parish covers an area of 17.69 km² and has 2615 inhabitants, 1251 of whom live in the village itself (as of January 1, 2020). It consists of the following living spaces, which were divided into two rural communities between 1867 and 1920 when it was part of Prussia:
- Rinkenis ( Danish Rinkenæs ) with the villages of Alnor, Nalmaibrück (Naldmadebro) and Trappen, which today have the character of suburbs for the neighboring village of Gravenstein , as well as the residential areas Sandacker and Dalsgaard on the banks of the fjord
- Beken ( Danish Bækken ) with the beachfront fishing settlement Stranderott ( Danish Stranderød )
Neighboring communities are in the west Holbøl ( German Holebüll ), in the north Kværs ( German Quars ) and in the east Gråsten-Adsbøl ( German Gravenstein-Atzbüll ).
history
In 1997, the Haderslev Museum in Rinkenæs examined a complex of five megalithic structures that show about 300 years of burial rituals. From the small dolmen , over the long dolmen to the large dolmen and to two passage graves .
The area of Rinkenæs, which got its own church in the 12th century at the latest, originally belonged to Lundtoft harde . In the 14th century this was despite far less distance to the official residences Aabenraa ( German Aabenraa ), Sønderborg and Flensburg for office Tonder , where it remained until 1850th Since the late Middle Ages, a large part of this Harde and the parish of Rinkenis came into the possession of Seegaard, the largest noble estate in the Duchy of Schleswig for centuries . After its bankruptcy in 1722, Gråsten split off from it and also took over the possessions in the parish of Rinkenæs. From 1725 to 1852 the aristocratic part of the parish such as Gråsten and some properties in the area belonged to the Duke of Augustenborg ( German Augustenburg ). The remaining part still belonged to the Lundtoftharde in the Tondern office.
In 1850 the Lundtoftharde came to the Aabenraa office . In 1853 all aristocratic estates were returned to the Harde so that the parish of Rinkenæs was under a single jurisdiction for the first time since the Middle Ages.
The war of 1864 led to the Duchy of Schleswig falling to Prussia . In 1867 the district of Aabenraa was formed within the previous official boundaries and the parish of Rinkenis was divided into the two rural communities of Beken and Rinkenis. In 1889 the district of Rinkenis was formed, to which the two rural communities Quars and Törsbüll of the neighboring church Quars were assigned. In addition to fishing, forestry and agriculture, brick production sometimes played an important role.
In the referendum in Schleswig on February 10, 1920, 582 Rinkenissers voted for membership in Denmark and 283 for Germany. From June 15, 1920 Rinkenæs was again part of Denmark and formed a parish country municipality. This was merged with the neighboring municipality of Gråsten in 1966, four years before the major administrative reform across Denmark .
traffic
The main traffic artery is the A 8 from Tønder ( German Tondern ) to Sønderborg, which runs through the municipality in a west-east direction. The villages on this road have an hourly bus connection with Sønderborg, Gråsten and Flensburg and every two hours directly with Husum . The Fördeuferstraße ends in Rinkenæs.
The station in Rinkenæs on the Sønderborg – Tinglev railway line was closed in 1974. The nearest train station is Gråsten, from where there are intercity connections to Copenhagen .
