Lysabild Sogn ( German: Lysabbel ) is a parish community ( Danish : Sogn ) on the island of Als (German: Alsen ) in Northern Schleswig in southern Denmark . Until 1970 she belonged to Harde Als Sønder Herred in what was then Aabenraa-Sønderborg Amt , then to Sydals Kommune in what was then Sønderjyllands Amt , which was merged into the "new" Sønderborg Kommune in the Syddanmark region as part of the municipal reform on January 1, 2007 .

Municipal area

The church of Lysabild

The community covers almost 32 km². In the east the area joins the Little Belt . At Gammel Pøl (German: Alt Pöhl ) the land jumps out like a peninsula to the east. At the same time, this area forms the flattest part of the island, while there are hills of up to 62 meters near the church village. In the south is the narrow transition to the Kegnæs peninsula (German: Kekenis ), to the west of it the municipality borders on Hørup Hav (German: Höruper Haff ), a tributary of the Flensburg Fjord . The municipality of Hørup connects to the west and Tandslet to the north .

Today 1478 people live in the community, 530 of them in the parish village of Lysabild (as of January 1, 2020. In 1910 the population had reached its highest level with 1718. Since the 1920s it has remained relatively constant between 1500 and 1600.

In addition to the parish village of Lysabild, the villages of Mommark (German: Mummark ), Vibøge (German: Viby ), Fjelby, Sarup, Skovby (German: Schauby ) and Lysabildskov (German: Lysabbelholz ) are the main settlement areas of the municipality.

history

The island of Als ( dt .: Alsen ) was considered to be very wealthy in the Middle Ages, which is shown, among other things, in the unusual density of Romanesque churches, which in the area of ​​the Cimbrian peninsula and the Danish islands only exist on Langeland , Eiderstedt and in the neighboring fishing region to the south there in a similar form. Although Als belonged to the Duchy of Schleswig , it was able to retain a certain special role as an island for a long time in the Middle Ages. So it belonged together with Ærø to the diocese of Odense and not to the diocese of Schleswig . Nevertheless, the Schleswig cathedral chapter received some possessions in the church village of Lysabild. In the late Middle Ages, several aristocratic estates also acquired property in the community, in which there was no main courtyard. The rest of the municipality was under the jurisdiction of Harde Als Sønder Herred (German: Alsinger Süderharde ) in the Sønderborg office .

After the division of Schleswig and Holstein in 1564, the office of Sønderborg fell to Duke Johann the Younger, who had been separated . This succeeded in acquiring all aristocratic properties on southern Alsen by 1603. Only the cathedral chapter property was left out as Bailiwick of Lysabbel . The Duke built in the vicinity of the border to the peninsula Kegnæs (dt .: Kekenis ) where a Castle Square (Kaiborg) had been already in early times, the new fief Kegnæsgård (dt .: Kekenisgaard ). However, this did not include the entire parish, because Vibøge was henceforth under Langenvorwerk and Mommark was assigned to the large Gammelgård estate. Under Johann's successors, Vibøge with Fjelby and Skovby (German: Schauby ) was subordinated to the newly created Neuhof on Kegnæs.

After the end of the very small duchy of the Sonderburg family line after the division in 1622, the Neuhofer part was placed under the new royal Birk Kegnæs, from which the Als Sønder Herred later emerged. In 1777 the Bailiwick of Lysabild fell to the Harde and Sønderborg Amt. In 1764 Kekenisgård and all its possessions came into the hands of the Duke of Augustenborg ( Eng .: Augustenburg ). Its possessions were converted into their own harde in 1852, so that from then on the entire parish was only under one office for the first time.

When the transition to Als was successful in the German-Danish War of Prussian unity on June 29, 1864, Lysabild's long history in the Danish state association came to an end for the time being. The parish was divided into the five rural parishes of Mommark, Lysabbel, Sarup, Vibøge-Fjelby and Skovby in 1869.

Especially on Als, many did not accept the annexation by Prussia. The editor Andreas Grau was one of the leading figures in the Danish movement before 1920 from the community. In the referendum on state membership in 1920 , there was a clear Danish majority in the municipality.

Lysabild was combined into a unified parish, which was under the Sønderborg Amt , whose boundaries remained unchanged compared to the previous district. In 1970, the municipality was politically added to the new Sydals Kommune (Eng .: Kommune Südalsen ), which in turn became part of the Sønderborg Municipality in 2007 , which is even larger than the old Sønderborg Amt that existed between 1920 and 1932 (or from 1970). As a parish, Lysabild is still independent.

Economy and Transport

The proportion of people commuting to Sønderborg and Nordborg ( Norburg ) is high; agriculture and tourism also play an important role. Skovmose is a large summer house area.

The community is away from the major traffic routes. In the south the only way leads to the Kegnæs peninsula, in the north the way leads to the ferry terminal at Mommark. However, this has only been important for excursion traffic to Ærø since the train ferry to Faaborg was discontinued in 1965 and instead a car ferry was set up from Fynshav ( German  Fünenshaff ) in the municipality of Notmark ( German  Nottmark ). The Alser Kleinbahn with connection to Lysabild-Mommark and branch to Skovby was given up in 1936.

Attractions

The parish's stately Romanesque church dates from the 12th century, the tower from the Gothic period.

There are numerous beautiful beaches along the coast of the Little Belt.
