Location of the community Scheggerott in the Schleswig-Flensburg district

Scheggerott ( Danish : Skæggerød ) is a municipality in the Schleswig-Flensburg district in Schleswig-Holstein . The district Brarupholz ( Brarupskov ) belongs to the municipality .

Geography and traffic

Scheggerott is located between Süderbrarup and Kappeln about seven kilometers west of Kappeln in a rural area. North of the municipality, the federal highway 199 runs from Kappeln to Flensburg , south the federal highway 201 runs from Kappeln to Husum . Lake Lyskja lies on the eastern edge of the municipality .

The place name means about clearing of the Skeggi or Skægge . Skeggi or Skægge is a nickname in Danish. skæg for beard, for example the bearded one . The ending -rott comes either from deforestation (adan. Ruth , mdän. Roj , ndän. Rød ), ie a settlement in the forest, or -rotte similar Weiler, ie a settlement of a few houses.

history

Some barrows in the north of the municipality date from the Neolithic or the Early Bronze Age and testify to the early settlement of the area. A particularly large hill could clearly be assigned to the Bronze Age, as it contained numerous grave goods from this era. Among them was a magnificent sword. During the migration of peoples in the 5th century, most of the people left the fishing region and resettlement did not begin before the 8th century.

When exactly Scheggerott was founded is unclear. The village is already mentioned in the Waldemar-Erdbuch 1231. The farms in Scheggerott have been under the Dollrott, Toestorf and Schleswig Cathedral Chapter since the Middle Ages. However, the estate largely ended in the 18th century. The farmers could take over their land in long leases.

With the Prussian annexation of the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein in 1867, the period of local self-government began with the election of a community leader. The community council met for the first time in 1895. The community experienced an economic boom in 1904 when the Kappeln – Süderbrarup railway line was opened. The Scheggerotter railway station developed into a regionally important transshipment point for agricultural goods, and merchants settled in the village. In May 1972, however, passenger traffic was stopped again.

In 1969 Scheggerott joined the Süderbrarup School Association. This ended the history of the local school, which has been traceable for 182 years.
