Schleswig Harbour

Highlight • Structure

The location of the Schleswig city harbor is excellent. The old town with the cathedral and the old fishing settlement "Holm" border directly on the harbor. The shopping street with numerous shops is only a few minutes' walk away. Varied gastronomy can be found directly at the harbor, bike rental and excursions on the Schlei complete the offer.

Holm Fishermen's Quarter, Schleswig

Highlight • Settlement

The men from the houses with their "Utluchten" (three-sided bay window) and "Klöndören" (half-divided doors) meet every evening for a bite before the "foot on the spar". This is a small alley that leads directly to the water.

St. Johannis Monastery and Biblical Garden

Highlight • Religious Site

The St. Johannis monastery off Schleswig is also on the Holm. This rectangular building, with its modest dimensions, barely 80 × 60 meters in size, was founded in 1194 as a Benedictine monastery and was converted into a women's convent in 1536. Today there are even some private rental apartments in the monastery buildings.

The most significant medieval architectural monument in the city of Schleswig is the almost 900-year-old St. Petri Cathedral. As soon as you enter the imposing interior of the house of worship, church history washes over you.
From the corner of your eye, you can see many sights from the Romanesque and Gothic construction periods. Isolated influences from the Renaissance and Baroque periods are also recognizable.
The Adoration of the Magi altar, with its life-sized, fully sculpted figures from the year 1300, is among the oldest sacred furnishings and earliest examples of its kind north of the Alps.
Historians suspect that St. Petri Cathedral was built around 1105, possibly on the foundations of a predecessor building.
In 1300, an extensive redevelopment of St. Petri Cathedral began, lasting for 100 years. During this construction phase, the so-called "Schwahl" was also created, which today hosts the Schwahlmarkt, a Christmas market, well-known far beyond the city limits of Schleswig.

Schleswig - you pearl on the Schlei! Despite having already walked 32km, I still wanted to make a detour to the harbor, Schleswig Cathedral, and the historic fishing quarter. Without my backpack, I felt like I was flying 🤭😂. The Schlei stretches out so beautifully, seemingly embracing Schleswig. Unfortunately, I was only able to enjoy the Königswiesen meadows to a …

So much worth seeing to discover in Schleswig. After the visit in 2020, the work on the cathedral is complete and everything shines in fresh splendor. Unfortunately, no ascension possible on the globe due to a defect, but the very competent guide presented entertaining stories that are not (yet) in Wikipedia. A wonderful trip with …

Absolutely worth seeing the fishing settlement Holm (Danish usage for small island). Formed around the year 1000 and separated from the mainland until the 20th century. It is now a district of the city of Schleswig. The houses there were built directly on the water, with this measure the optimal fish processing was guaranteed.

Today I went to Schleswig. The promenade along the Schlei began right at the car park. It was miles along the water, the harbor, ships, the Holm settlement, an old monastery, all very beautiful to look at.
Later I went to the old town to St. Petri Cathedral.
From there I continued to the museum island of Gottorf Castle and …
