Sankelmark is a district of the municipality of Oeversee and is located near Flensburg on Sankelmarker See in the Schleswig-Flensburg district in Schleswig-Holstein.

history

During the German-Danish War , on February 6, 1864, a battle broke out in the municipality when two brigades covered the withdrawal of the Danish army from the Danewerk against opposing Austrian forces ( Battle of Oeversee ).

On March 24, 1974, the independent municipality of Sankelmark was formed through the merger of the previously existing municipalities of Barderup and Munkwolstrup.

On March 1, 2008, it merged with the neighboring municipality of Oeversee . Oeversee has been agreed as the name of the newly formed community .

economy

The economic structure of the district is not homogeneous. While it is largely agricultural, there are residential areas in Barderup and Munkwolstrup.

Components of the former municipal area

Augaard ( Danish Ågård ), Barderup , Bilschau ( Bilskov ), Juhlschau ( Julskov ) and Munkwolstrup ( Munkvolstrup ) are in the local area.

Augaard

Augaard ( Danish : Ågård ) was first mentioned in 1337. The place name means place or farm by the river. In Augaard, the first Danish Folkehøjskole was built in South Schleswig (Aagaard Højskole) in 1863 . However, the university had to close again in 1889, as the Prussian authorities forbade teaching in Danish. Friedrich Wilhelm Lübke , who was Prime Minister of Schleswig-Holstein from 1951 to 1954 , owned his farm in Augaard . His brother Heinrich Lübke (from 1959 to 1969 the second Federal President of the Federal Republic of Germany ) lived with him from time to time in the 1930s.

Munkwolstrup

Munkwolstrup ( Munkvolstrup ) is of particular importance because of its large stone grave , which is one of the largest archaeological monuments in Europe . The Neolithic megalithic systems date from approx. 3,500–2,800 BC. Chr.

After they were used as quarries until the 19th century and were largely destroyed, the reconstruction of the up to 75 meter long facilities was successfully completed in 2003. For this purpose 160 boulders weighing up to 3 tons were used from a nearby gravel pit.

Today they are under monument protection. The Arnkielpark , in which seven grave complexes (six so-called long beds and one grave in the round hill) can be visited, was created during the excavations.

Munkwolstrup was first mentioned in a document in 1352.

Academy Sankelmark

Academy Sankelmark

The Akademie Sankelmark is an adult education institution that offers seminars and conferences on political and cultural topics in the Sønderjylland / Schleswig region, Schleswig-Holstein and the Federal Republic of Germany. This is primarily about

  • political education, the development of democratic coexistence,
  • History, culture and religion, literature and fine arts and thus the ethical foundations of our society.

The Sankelmark Academy was opened in 1952 in order to be a place of "free intellectual, political and cultural debate [...] to be a bridge [to] real understanding between peoples". According to the wording in the deed of incorporation. The academy is sponsored by the non-profit Deutsche Grenzverein e. V., whose members come from the districts and communities of the Schleswig region. The idea of ​​such a “border academy” originated in the 1930s, but was only realized after the Second World War. The initiative for the construction came from the then District Administrator and later Prime Minister Friedrich Wilhelm Lübke , who was also chairman of the German Border Association, the client and owner of the academy.

European Academy Schleswig-Holstein

The European Academy Schleswig-Holstein offers seminars and conferences on political and cultural topics in Europe with a special focus on the Baltic Sea region. The work rests on two pillars:

  • The Europa-Akademie focuses primarily on the European institutions and politics, culture and everyday life in our European neighbors.
  • The European Academy for Minority Affairs provides information on minority problems and possible solutions to these problems.

The European Academy Schleswig-Holstein was founded in 1978. In 1999 she moved from the home folk high school in Leck to Sankelmark. The academy is sponsored by the non-profit association Europäische Akademie Schleswig-Holstein e. V. Its members are institutions from Germany, Denmark and Belgium.

Academia Baltica

The tasks and goals of the Academia Baltica, which was founded in Lübeck in 2001, are the understanding with Germany's eastern neighbors, the promotion of partnership-based cooperation in the Baltic Sea region and in East Central Europe, and the communication of European history and culture. The topics of the academy work range from politics and economics, literature and art to bi- and multinational colloquia on recent and recent history to international media cooperation in the Baltic Sea region. Conference reports and monographs are published in the "Colloquia Baltica" series. The academy is supported by the non-profit association Academia Baltica e. V. based in Lübeck. In 2011 the Academia Baltica moved its office to Sankelmark.

The events of the three academies are open to all interested parties and take place in the Akademiezentrum Sankelmark . Since 1952 around 500,000 guests have taken part in events at the two academies in Sankelmark.
