background

St. Jürgen said in the Middle Ages first a thereat lepers - Hospital , which according to St. George ( Low German Jürgen was named). The area surrounding the hospital was owned by the hospital and the city could hardly exert any influence. After the Reformation , the area belonged to the legal district of the Holy Spirit Monastery . Around 1590 , the settlement of St. Jürgen was formed on the monastery grounds, outside the Flensburg city wall , in front of the Johannistor. This fishing settlement developed into a densely built-up suburb in the 18th century, but it was a parish after Adelby .

At the beginning of the 19th century, 1271 people lived in the suburb of St. Jürgen. By the middle of the 19th century at the latest, the suburb of St. Jürgen consisted of the areas of South and North St. Jürgen ( Danish : Sønder og Nørre Sankt Jørgen ). The four hectare Süder-St. Jürgen was north of the Dammhof area . Süder-St. Jürgen extended from the Plankemai to the Margarethenhof further north . The section of Johannistraße located there below the fjord slope also belonged to this part of St. Jürgen. North-St. Jürgen started roughly at the height of today's Hafenspitze, followed the fjord slope further north to Lautrupsbach . In addition, the northern area below the eastern bank slope at the ballast bridge as far as Harnis belonged to Norder-St. Jurgen. Overall, Norder-St. Jürgen 32 hectares. On March 3, 1874, Norder- and Süder-St. Jürgen incorporated into Flensburg. The easternmost of St. Juergen Jürgensgaard comprises 205 large hectares was incorporated until 1900's. Shortly afterwards in the years 1903 to 1907 the St. Jürgen Church was built.

The part of Norder-St. Jürgen is now part of the Fruerlund district . The rest of Norder-St. Jürgen corresponds roughly to the current city district of St. Jürgen. The city district itself today consists largely of the captain's quarter, the area of ​​St. Jürgen's church and the Flensburg Open Canal located there . At the lower edge of the captain's quarter is also the office building of the divisional command . The building from the imperial era , which was formerly used for military purposes , was the only military building in this area of ​​the city, although Flensburg was temporarily a military town.
