Location and surroundings of the vineyard

The aforementioned area of ​​the vineyard is located between the Flensburg-Schäferhaus airfield and the mosquito forest . The area originally belonged to the Wiesharde , but has been part of the city for centuries. It used to be in the Nikolaifeld . Today it is located within the Schäferhaus foundation state .

Nothing is known about viticulture in this area. In the map of the royal Prussian land survey of 1878/1880, the name Weinberg is evidently used as a field name for the first time. Various places are known in the area where burial mounds were and are still located today, for example the Friedenshügel or the Nonnenberg .

The Hoenborg by the vineyard

The "old" Burgweg originally led past the vineyard.

According to the legend about the five evil lords of the castle, a robber baron is said to have lived in the area near the vineyard in Hoenborg Castle , as is assumed before the year 1200. According to the legend, the knight also belonged to Tießlund and the Strucksdamm pond. A street was named after the Tießlund and Strucksdamm estates. The name Tießlund suggests a forest. This is said to have been near the Peace Hill. In the Südstadt (Rude) district, a street was called Tiesholz . The name Tieslund, like Tießholz, means forest of the Ties . The name Ties could suggest a knight with that name or the Germanic deity Tyr . Strucksdamm street is in the Westliche Höhe district . The struck dam was a fish pond. "Dam" also means "dammed pond". At the street Strucksdamm there is now a pond, probably the aforementioned Strucksdamm. The Burgweg , today on the edge of Weiche, originally ran through the vineyard area. According to legend, the Knight of the Hoenborg is said to have been attacked and killed by the Flensburgers at the same time as the known robber baron of the evidently existing Eddeboe .

Excavation and leveling 1939/1940

In 1939/1940 the burial mound, i.e. the actual vineyard, was examined more closely. The vineyard had apparently already been heavily ransacked. The mound was 18 meters in diameter and 1.40 meters high. Its edges were unevenly set off. It was overgrown with heather and brush. The burial mound was on a long natural hilltop. On the northern edge of the burial mound was the remainder of a one meter wide stone wreath, the head-sized stones of which rested on the edge of the hill. In the middle of the burial mound, a round stone packing, consisting of stones the size of a fist or head, was discovered. A few shards of clay pots with some corpse burn had been observed between the stones . The burial mound was leveled at the same time as the excavation for the expansion of the neighboring airfield. The natural crest of the terrain was also leveled afterwards.

At the same time as the vineyard, a second burial mound, which lay further west between the Jägerslust farm and the vineyard, was also examined and then leveled. In said burial mound there were two urn graves from the earlier Iron Age . From the urns, shards and corpse burn were discovered, as well as two iron needles. Said shards and additions were destroyed in the fire of the museum in which the finds were located. However, illustrations have survived. A few more burial mounds, which were then still on the current airfield site, were also leveled at the same time.

The area of ​​the vineyard today

During the Cold War , the area of ​​the vineyard belonged to the military training area of the Briesen barracks . The area was abandoned by the Bundeswehr after the end of the Cold War . Today it belongs to the so-called Schäferhaus Foundation Land. Today the terrain is relatively flat and natural.
