Twedter Mark is the name of an area in Flensburg 's Mürwik district , which is located north and east of the Flensburg-Mürwik base near Twedter Holz and which belongs to the Solitüde district. The area borders on Fahrensodde and is used for local recreation . It is popularly known as Agfa , after the company's former location there .

history

The landscape of the Flensburg Fjord was formed in the Ice Age . The Twedter Mark thus proves to be a significant geological area, which on a moraine - plateau is located surrounding the conveyor. At Twedter Mark there are also two prehistoric settlement sites.

The name "Twedter Mark" refers to the location near Twedter Holz as well as to Twedt near Engelsby . The word "Mark", which comes from the Germanic language area , means "field" (see also: Feldmark ). The name "Twedter Feld" has been attested since 1587, but was initially used to designate various areas near Twedt in the following years. In 1797 the name "Tvedingmark" appeared for the first time. Twedter Feld is now continuously located in the Tremmeruper Wald , Twedter Mark in turn in the described area on the fjord.

Twedter Mark was incorporated as part of Twedter Hold in the 20th century. Since the beginning of the century, the adjacent base has been built in several steps. During the German Imperial Era , the Twedter Mark area was still undeveloped. At that time it consisted entirely of fields that were delimited by curtains as well as a few small groves distributed in the area . At that time there was obviously only narrow tree growth directly on the steep fjord slope . Since 1937 the naval base has also had a riding school near Twedter Mark . Today only the street Am Sattelplatz reminds of this riding school . During the Second World War, there was a Wehrmacht camp near Twedter Mark , which was called the north camp, later called the Mützelburg camp . During the air raids on Flensburg , anti-aircraft guns , some of which were stationed on the Twedter Mark plateau, were used. At the end of the war, the Twedter Mark area belonged to the Mürwik special area . After the war, the Mützelburg camp served as a refugee camp. On July 4, 1957, a street in the Twedter Mark area was named "Twedter Mark". Over time, residential developments were built on this street and its adjoining streets.

In 1976 or earlier, the area on the Fördehang von Twedter Mark became part of the landscape protection area on the Fördeufer in Mürwik . Another part of the area on the Fördehang that had previously been used for agriculture was designated as a " landscape park " in the 1970s .

Since around the beginning of the new century, the two urban parks on the east bank have become increasingly overgrown due to the savings in maintenance measures. The Volkspark was particularly affected by the overgrowth , which led to criticism from the population. In 2012, the city's nature conservation officer, Jürgen Uwe Maßheimer, complained that the Twedter Mark landscape park was not properly maintained. In 2016, an alliance of all council groups, with the exception of the abstaining CDU, was formed to secure and upgrade these parks.

Areas and their shape

The natural space

The "Twedter Mark Protected Landscape Area" covers an area of ​​around 17 hectares. It mainly consists of a beech forest area . In addition to these, so-called pioneer trees such as poplars and alders can also be found here and there. Groves and Knicks delimit the open areas that were formerly subject to agricultural use. This landscape park area in the area ( location ) Twedter Mark consists of a rough meadow . The said landscape park Twedter Mark is actually not a real park in the strict sense. A specific planting of the landscape park Twedter Mark never took place. Nowadays, the park area consists of a wild meadow, from which unwanted trees that grow wild are removed from time to time so that the line of sight to the fjord with the two ox islands remains free. Due to its naturalness, Twedter Mark serves as a habitat for various animals.

Natural beach

A staircase leads down near the meadow of the Twedter Mark landscape park to the fjord, where there is a natural beach . The fjord slope located there is considered an inactive steep slope, which means that no breaks due to the impact of waves in the fjord are to be expected. Various bird species stay with the migrations in this near-natural fjord area. The beach hiking trail that runs along the edge of the water ends in the south at Gate II of the Mürwik Naval School , where the Mürwik bathing establishment was previously located. Other natural beach areas can be found at Meierwik, three kilometers away .

Side gates of the Mürwik Naval School

Several side gates at Twedter Mark lead to the grounds of the Mürwik naval school and the associated naval sports school . The main gate, the so-called gate guard of the Mürwik Naval School , is located in Kelmstrasse .

Agfa site

A chain link fence of the Bundeswehr runs through the forest of Twedter Mark to the southeast today and delimits the Agfa site there. A footpath of the landscape protection area Twedter Mark leads today along the said fence, behind which the buildings of the Agfa site can be clearly seen.

The oldest building on the Agfa site is the machine training building ( location ) from 1938, which initially served as a training workshop for training weapons officers. The said roughly T-shaped red brick building apparently has a ground floor, upper floor and a converted attic. After the Second World War, the building was used for civilian purposes. In 1984 the "UCA", the United Electro-Optische Werke GmbH, began to bring cameras and film material there. The cameras are said to have been expensive SLR cameras . In 1952 the UCA was taken over by Agfa. In 1957 the Agfa factory was apparently given the address Twedter Mark 11. In 1959, production in the Mürwik plant ended. It was then used by the German Navy .

Ever since it was used by the Agfa company or only afterwards, more buildings have gradually been built on the Agfa site. Among other things, a little out of the way in the southwest, a flat roof building as a non-commissioned officers' home ( location ). From 1960 to March 31, 2002, the Naval Telecommunication Staff 70 was on the military property at Twedter Mark . This staff was then renamed Telecommunications Area 91 and remained in the property. Ultimately, however, it was dissolved in 2013, so that the site was cleared from the staff. The neighboring Federal Motor Transport Authority then took over the premises on the Agfa site as a branch. In addition, around 2012 the premises were apparently also used by the Förde- Möwen, a shanty choir, for weekly choir rehearsals. It is unclear whether this is still the case today.

The Mützelburg camp served as a refugee camp in the post-war period.

Former Mützelburg warehouse

The Mützelburg camp was obviously to the east of what is now the meadow area. The camp was built shortly before or during the Second World War. The Wehrmacht camp, initially called the north camp, was renamed to Rolf Mützelburg, commander of U 203 , who had a fatal accident on September 11, 1942 , at some point during its existence . After the war, the city of Flensburg rented the camp from the property management, which was responsible for the assets of the former Wehrmacht ( Federal Property Management ), and housed refugees there. In 1952 455 people lived in 11 wooden barracks in the camp. The Langer gained notoriety through a spectacular fire on Sunday afternoon, April 26, 1953. A wooden barrack in the center of the camp burned down completely. In the 45 by 12 meter barracks with 24 living rooms lived 17 families who again lost their belongings and their homes. Statistics from April 1, 1954 showed that the Mützelburg camp was still 323 people. The warehouse was finally evacuated in the mid-1950s. Nothing is left of the Mützelburg camp today. Today nature has spread in this area. The tramped roof camp located 500 meters south-west , also originally a Wehrmacht camp , has been partially preserved to this day.

various

  • The landscape park Twedter Mark is considered the northernmost landscape park in Germany.
  • Due to overgrowth, unwanted neophytes can now and then settle. Immigrant plants that displace native plants include: Japanese knotweed , hogweed , bird cherry and the potato rose . The city's nature conservation officer also suggested voluntary care for Twedter Mark by private individuals and associations such as Nabu because of the maintenance problems . In mid-2017, the Forum Mürwik inquired at the municipal TBZ and agreed with the Green Office. Forum members met on Saturday June 18 and removed unwanted, overgrown plants. They particularly fought the knotweed by pulling the plants and their roots out of the ground and disposing of them. According to the organizers, the action was intended to demonstrate that many Mürwikers do not agree with the prevailing conditions in the green spaces on the east bank.
  • In September 2016 a shepherdess visited the Twedter Mark with her flock of white sheep , heather sheep and goats . The visit served to preserve the landscape. At the beginning of 2017, new satellite maps of Flensburg were imported into Google Maps . Since then, a large, white-speckled section of meadow can be seen on the maps at Twedter Mark. The picture was taken when the herd from Oeversee was visiting.
