Twedt (Flensburg)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Twedt ( Danish : Tved ) is a place in the city of Flensburg and a former rural community in the Flensburg-Land district . The rural community was incorporated on May 1, 1910. The nucleus of the rural community Twedt, the old village Twedt, is located about 4 km east of the old town of Flensburg in the Engelsby district . Twedt must not be confused with the current name of the municipality Twedt in the south of the Schleswig-Flensburg district .

history

Origin as a farming village

The name Twedt refers to a place near the forest. Places of the same name are Twedt near Tolk in Südangeln , Tved (German: Twedt ) in the rural parish Tønder Sogn and Tved (Twedt) in the parish Dalby in the south of the city of Kolding . However, it is unclear which forest was meant. Nowadays the closest forests are the Weesrieser Geholz and the Tremmeruper Wald .

Twedt was a small, old farming village that never consisted of more than four farms. It belonged to the Adelby parish in the west of the Husbyharde in the Flensburg office, which always remained with the royal portion in all the divisions in the Duchy of Schleswig between 1490 and 1721. Trögelsby was still an aristocratic court owned by Peter Lund at the beginning of the 15th century. His daughters shared the court, however, and both positions were ultimately transferred to the St. Mary's Church in Flensburg , which exercised its own jurisdiction. This also applied to the Flensburg Hospital, which owned the neighboring Vogelsang farm and Kate Blocksberg near Kauslund .

The Katendörfer Wasserloos (Danish Vandløs , South Jutian Wainlos , Low German Waterlöck ) and Kauslund (Danish Kavslund ) were built at the latest in the 16th century as extensions of the Twedter farms. The even older Kätner and fishing village Twedter Holz was founded from Twedt, but broke away from it at an early stage and formed an independent district by 1910. From 1871 Twedt was a rural municipality. Agriculture still dominated, with Wasserloos also becoming known as the location of several market gardens. The Flensburg-Glücksburger Chaussee, on which Wasserloos and Kauslund were located, was expanded as early as the 1840s. The latter became a station on the circular railway to Glücksburg and Kappeln in 1885 .

Incorporation to Flensburg in 1910

The district, from 1871 the rural community of Twedt, covered an area of ​​578 hectares until it was incorporated into Flensburg in 1910. In addition to the small central village, the small Katendörfer Wasserloos just north of it and Kauslund further east and south-east of the village, the Vogelsang and Trögelsby farms, also belonged to the municipality, as well as individual houses such as Solitüde , first mentioned in 1841 , which were located far north near the Flensburg Fjord and structurally more related to the neighboring community of Twedter Holz at the time. During the imperial era, individual houses were built on the border with the neighboring municipality of Engelsby and an extension of the Katendorf Windloch ( Vejrgab in Danish ).

In 1910 it was incorporated into Flensburg, but compared to the neighboring western villages, Twedt retained its rural character for much longer. It was only after the Second World War that larger residential areas emerged next to the old residential areas. Trögelsby, Vogelsang and Kauslund were not connected to the city in terms of urban development until after the turn of the millennium.

Neighboring communities were until 1910: Twedter Holz, Engelsby , Fruerlund , Tarup , Rüllschau , Wees and Munkbrarup (with Meierwik ). The first three also became part of the city of Flensburg in 1910, while Tarup in 1974. In the north, the community met at Solitüde on the Flensburg Fjord.

present

The rural community Twedt went on in the new district of Mürwik . There is no separate city district or city district Twedt. The origins of the old village Twedt are now in Engelsby. In Mürwik, which includes Twedter Holz, which was founded in Twedt, some place and street names also remind of the Twedt or Twedter Holz, such as the Twedter Plack (today's center of the Mürwik district, a district center with a trade and weekly market) , Twedter Mark (formerly arable land), Twedter Holz or the Twedter Berg. The north road , built in 1953 at the expense of the Kreisbahn, is now considered the border between the districts of Engelsby and Mürwik, which is why the original Twedt is separate from Mürwik and belongs to Engelsby.

Nowadays the name Twedt only refers to the village-like street Twedt and the old farms there. There is also a small park in Twedt. It was created after one of Twedt's old farmhouses was demolished. The layout of the courtyard was largely retained. This "Twedt Park", with a size of 0.8 hectares, was officially inaugurated on June 6, 1984 and was named Bürgerpark Twedt . Twedt was placed under protection together with the Flensburg landscape protection area Vogelsang. In addition, many of the old trees of Twedts were registered as natural monuments of the city of Flensburg . Today there are quite a number of horse stables in Twedt. The Flensburg riding club Engelsby / Twedt eV has its home there. The Twedt bus stop is located on Merkurstrasse at Bürgerpark Twedt , from which buses run to Twedter Plack . On the other side is the second bus stop in Twedter, from which passengers can drive towards Flensburg city center and towards Weiche .
