history

The Südermarkt in the past

With the founding of the parish Sankt Nikolai on the Flensburg Fjord around 1200 - it is one of the founding settlements of Flensburg - the Südermarkt market square was soon created . Apparently a kind of trunk road had developed from Friesland to fishing beforehand, which ran past the market location. As part of this connection, Angelburger Strasse ran to the east and Friesische Strasse to the west on the south side of the market location . Südermarkt is likely to have received its angular basic shape with the construction of the smaller, original Nikolaikirche, which was built sometime before 1332. With the start of construction of today's larger Nikolaikirche, around 1390, this form did not change significantly. Below the church, at the northeast corner of the square, there was probably the short street Katsund , which led into the Holm , a street that continued to Thingplatz .

On May 3, 1485, the southern part of the city was destroyed by a fire. The southern market was also affected. In the same year, the reconstruction and expansion of the Nikolaikirche took place. In the southwest of the square, what is now the oldest secular building in the city was built around 1490 , known today as the Nikolai Pharmacy . At the beginning of the 17th century a well with a square well box and four drainage pipes was built. The fountain existed until the 19th century.

In the 18th century, oxen were traded on the so-called ox market , which was located at the Exe . The horses were traded on the Südermarkt. Until the 18th century, the Kaakmann was still standing on the Südermarkt , a baker's figure made of copper that is now in the Flensburg Museum Mountain . The aforementioned Katsund Street officially no longer exists today. It was added to the spar at the end of the 19th century on the road that continued its course . The houses on the west side of Katsund were demolished soon after. Shortly after the demolition of Katsund, in 1903, the Bismarck Fountain was built by Helmuth Schievelkamp , which disappeared again during the Nazi era . At the end of the Second World War , Flensburg was occupied by British units. Since May 13, 1945, the ordinances and laws issued by the British and American military authorities have been published on large boards on the Südermarkt and Nordermarkt. Meanwhile, the last imperial government was still in the suburb of Mürwik . In 1979 a platform was built on the east side of the church, i.e. below the choir . From this platform you can see the entire square. At events, it also serves as a substitute for the balcony of the town hall.

The Südermarkt nowadays

Nowadays, the weekly market takes place twice a week on the Südermarkt, Wednesday and Saturday. On Tuesdays and Fridays there is a smaller weekly market at Twedter Plack . The flea market takes place there at least once a month. In December there are stalls and stalls for the Flensburg Christmas market, which extends to the Nordermarkt . In the house mentioned, which was built around 1490, there is now a pharmacy . Today the main entrance to the Flensburg-Galerie , the largest shopping mall in the city, is located on the northeast side of the square .

Further development

In addition to the historically mentioned development, there are still other buildings on the square today.
