Twedter wood
Twedter Holz (formerly also: Twedterholz written; Danish : Tved Skov ) is an old place in the independent city of Flensburg , which over centuries had grown into a larger settlement and rural community and was incorporated into the municipality in 1910. The original area of the village of Twedter Holz is now counted as part of the Solitüde district of the Mürwik district.
Former municipal area
Twedter Holz is located on the Flensburg Fjord . Until 1910, Fruerlund (with Mürwik and Klosterholz ) and Engelsby bordered the community in the south and Twedt (with Solitüde) in the east . In addition to the street village that gave it its name, the Katengruppe Fahrensodde , which had long been inhabited by fishermen, was part of the municipality right on the water. The southern border was marked by the Osbek brook . To the north there was a small Osbek farm of the same name and a brickworks at the mouth that existed until 1900.
history
Twedter wood, which has been attested since the 16th century, was originally a cottage and fishing village that was abandoned by the farming village of Twedt . The second part of the place name "wood" clearly refers to a wood . The area around Twedter Holz was apparently already heavily forested at that time. The village of Twedter Holz was part of the Adelby parish . In the course of time, individual cottages developed into independent farms. In addition, the community was still the location of three brick factories in the late 19th century. Most of the district was under the administration of the Flensburg Office ( Husbyharde ). However, individual places were owned by the St. Mary's Church in Flensburg , the Fahrensodde Katengruppe, located on the water, belonged to the Flensburg Hospital. Both institutions exercised civil jurisdiction over their subjects until 1853, when these too were subordinated to the Harde .
The annexation of the Duchy of Schleswig by the Kingdom of Prussia after the Second Schleswig War in 1864 brought about some changes. After the administrative reforms, Twedter Holz formed its own rural community. This included the village of Twedter Holz with some extensions: the Fahrensodde group of houses right on the water and in the far southwest the small Osbek farm and the brick factory of the same name nearby. Osbek was bought by the tax authorities in 1907. On the lands was built in the following years the Naval Academy Mürwik , the further south with something on the site of the community Fruerlund located naval base Flensburg-Mürwik was connected.
In 1910, Twedter Holz and its neighboring communities Fruerlund, Engelsby and Twedt were incorporated into Flensburg. Twedter Holz, beautifully situated high above the fjord, slowly developed into a popular residential area. This tendency continued throughout the 20th century. In the course of the armament of the 1930s, the sports school was built northeast of the naval school , where the last executive Nazi government under Karl Dönitz stayed after the surrender of the German Reich in 1945 .
After the construction of the naval school, it was connected to the city by means of a modern road, today's Mürwiker Straße (Mørviggade) and an electric tram ( line 3 ). Twedter wood initially remained rural. It was not until the expansion of Fördestraße (Fjordgade) , on which the Federal Motor Transport Authority was built, and the new shopping center at Twedter Plack in the 1960s, that the old village was fully connected to the urban infrastructure.
Twedter wood today
The name Twedter Holz lives on today only in the partly preserved old village street. There are still some original buildings here, including the old village school. Some thatched-roof houses were also preserved, as in other places on the Flensburgerostufer, such as in Windloch or the neighboring Waldeshöh .
Twedter wood is now part of the Mürwik district. The area west of Twedter Holz is now commonly called Twedter Mark . The mentioned area below Twedter Holz towards the water is called Fahrensodde . Next to it, also below Twedter Holz, lies the Cäcilienschlucht gorge .
