The foundation land Schäferhaus (formerly Jägerslust military training area ) extends from the garden city of Weiche in Flensburg with 415 hectares to just before the Danish border at Ellund and Harrislee . It is the largest nature experience area in Schleswig-Holstein . The state of the foundation is divided into a large northern part and a small southern part by Bundesstraße 199 and the Flensburg airfield .
history
Archaeological finds brought mammoth bones and tombs from the Bronze and Iron Ages. A parade ground was set up around 1750. Otherwise the area was mostly used for agriculture.
Hof Jägerslust
The most famous court was Jägerslust, after which the later troop place was named. It was located behind today's exit from the garden city to the foundation site and was last managed by the Jewish Wolff family. The farm was acquired by the family in 1910 and after the takeover of the Nazis to a kibbutz converted, learned in the deciders to emigrate to Palestine agricultural trade. On November 10, 1938 at 3 o'clock in the morning the yard was attacked by the police, Gestapo, SS and presumably SA under the leadership of Flensburg Police Director Hinrich Möller ; the residents were badly mistreated. They were then imprisoned in the Norderhofenden prison in Flensburg. The court owner Christian Wolff was supposed to be murdered. Taken to a remote location in the border area, the seriously injured Wolff was able to escape and, under cover of darkness, flee across the nearby border to Denmark. A large part of his family was killed in concentration camps in Estonia and Poland . Stolpersteine are dedicated to them on the courtyard square . After his expulsion, the Wehrmacht took over the area and had the Reich Labor Service expand it with the neighboring airfield for the air force . During this time, 1939/1940, the adjacent area of the vineyard was also leveled. The Luftwaffe used the entire area until 1945. All the remaining machines were collected and scrapped there at the end of the war. Refugees were quartered in the yard itself. Christian Wolff visited the remains of the courtyard in 1966. A year later, the main building was blown up by Bundeswehr pioneers. Only one barn remained, the site was used by the site administration as the depot for the military training area until 1998 . In 2004 the barn was demolished because of the risk of collapse. Today a covered plaque commemorates the Jägerslust-Hof.
Use by the Bundeswehr
From 1958, the Bundeswehr took over the area and expanded it into a military training area. A northern and a southern military training area was created. They were separated from each other by the civilian airfield, the village of Langberg and the Ochsenweg. The Bundeswehr used the public road connection between the two areas. The northern square was mainly used by the tank troops (most recently PzBtl 513 ), which were equipped with M47 and Leopard 1 tanks. In 1997 the Briesen barracks and the military training area were given up as part of disarmament after the fall of the Wall and acquired by the state of Schleswig-Holstein. In the northern part, only one armored line is still used by a Bundeswehr repair company to this day.
Country of foundation since 1998
In 1998, the Schleswig-Holstein Nature Conservation Foundation acquired the military training area from the federal government and leased it to the Bunde Wischen . The foundation country was named after the nearby actual shepherd's house . In the Land of the Foundation, the areas are kept as natural as possible to this day, various animal and plant species are protected and farmed animals. Galloway cattle can be found on the southern and northern parts . In addition, horses are bred on the northern part of Konik .
particularities
Information boards have been set up on the site by the community of Harrislee and the city of Flensburg after the military use. The northern part in particular is equipped with modern boards and activity stations. Ice Age history as well as flora and fauna are also dealt with on these panels. Several barrows have also been reconstructed in their original positions (see Kong Arrilds Høj ), one of which is accessible. The Nonnenberg is a burial mound that still exists on the edge of the northern foundation land .
Old hiking trails
By 1929, Harrislee citizens used a path across the Harrislee area to Handewitt to come to worship. When the Church of Reconciliation was built in Harrislee, it lost its importance. The pilgrim path still leads from Rendsburg to Vejen through the northern part.
Ox path
The Heerweg, on which the oxen were driven from Denmark to Hamburg in the Middle Ages , also ran through the area. On a long stretch of promenade, boards in the shape of oxen were set up the length of a herd to show how long such a herd was. In addition, one of the horn places, which were built around the year 2000 along the Ochsenweg, is on the site.
Great stone graves
In the extreme north of the northern foundation land , near Simondys , there are original large stone graves . In the south of the northern foundation country there used to be several burial mounds, most of which have not been preserved. The Kong Arrilds Høj apparently disappeared completely. More recently, artificial burial mounds have been built in the area where burial mounds were originally located. Another burial mound that still exists is the Nonnenberg , which is located on the southern edge of the Northern Foundation Land on already Flensburg territory.
