Location of the community Schafflund in the Schleswig-Flensburg district

Schafflund ( Danish : Skovlund , Frisian : Schaflün ) is a municipality in the Schleswig-Flensburg district in Schleswig-Holstein . The municipality is the administrative seat of the office of the same name .

The valley of the Schafflunder Mühlenstrom is of Ice Age origin. The Schafflunder Mühlenstrom is formed from the confluence of the Meyner Mühlenstrom and Walsbek.

Bärenshöft is located in the municipality.

history

Schafflund was first mentioned as Schaftling in 1477. The meaning of the name is not clear. The place name Schafflund could come from the Old Norse , namely from the word "skafl", which extended with the possessive suffix "-ungi" would mean "settlement near the steep Dühne". Here an inland dune would be meant. In Danish the place became Skovlund . The Danish word Skov means “forest” or “forest”. The word Lund also means “forest”, which means that the place name could mean “forest forest”. However, it is also assumed that the name of the place could mean “piece of land in the forest” or “forest clearing”.

As early as the Mesolithic , people came to what is today the municipality. This is evidenced by archaeological finds such as flint scrapers or cross-edged arrowheads. People also settled in the area around Schafflund in the Neolithic , the Younger Bronze Age and the Iron Age . In addition to the funnel beaker culture to which numerous large stone graves are assigned, the individual grave culture emerged at the end of the Neolithic Age . Numerous axes that can be attributed to this culture due to their shape are recorded in the archaeological land survey for Schafflund. Some urns date from the younger Bronze Age and the Iron Age. Found iron slag points to the iron age smelting .

A water mill was possibly built in Schafflund as early as the 14th century . However, there is no reference to a miller until 1603: J. Reinhusen mentions Godtborch Moller, who died in Schafflund on December 12, 1603 in the "Annales Flensburgensis". At the end of the 15th century the mill was taken over by the Schleswig Cathedral Chapter and on November 26th 1629 “to Gottberg Clausen for 25 Rthlr. annual fixed fee leased ”. Around the mill was the place where many craftsmen lived alongside farmers in the 17th century. In 1795 the coupling took place , in which the village corridor , which had been used jointly until then, was divided up and distributed to the individual farmers as a coupling .

Originally, Schafflund belonged to the Karrharde and thus from 1867 to the Tondern district . Schafflund was assigned to the Flensburg district by the Prussian provincial government in 1878 .

In 1884 the community was ravaged by a large fire that destroyed 13 buildings. In 1934 the Reich Labor Service set up a barracks camp in Schafflund, which after the Second World War was initially used as barracks for British soldiers and later as accommodation for refugees .

coat of arms

Blazon : "In gold a green beech with roots and four fruit heads, accompanied on the right by a red mill wheel, on the left by a blue fish swimming to the top left."

The beech in the coat of arms reminds us that the Schleswig Geest was originally forested. The establishment of the place in the forest may also prompt the place to be named. The mill wheel represents the local water mill , which in the past had a meaning that extended far beyond the town and which in the coat of arms establishes a connection to the town's exclusively agricultural past. Finally, the fish refers to the yield of the fishery in the running waters of the municipality, especially in the Schafflunder Mühlenstrom.

economy

As a rural central location, the municipality has an extensive range of services and various commercial operations in addition to agriculture.

The community has been a model project for a child-friendly community since 1998, so that the children have a say in the design and implementation of community measures.

Attractions

A chimney in Schafflund was considered the northernmost stork's nest in Europe until the end of the 2010s . After a flight of up to 2000 kilometers, pairs of storks from Africa moved to the 1.2 m wide nesting site 55 times between 1962 and 2017 alone .

The list of cultural monuments in Schafflund includes the cultural monuments entered in the monuments list of Schleswig-Holstein, including the former water mill, which probably dates from the 14th century.
