general

by Rendsburg the Eider flows. The city is seat of the district administration of the circle Rendsburg Eckernförde. Next larger cities are Kiel 32 km east, Flensburg 65 km north, Husum (west coast) 58 km northwest, Eckernförde(East coast) 25 km northeast, Luebeck 94 km southeast and Hamburg 103 km south.

In direct proximity of Rendsburg are the nature parks Hüttener of mountains (10 km), west lake (20 km) and Aukrug (15 km). Rendsburg is because of one in May 2004opened new routistic holidays road: The German route - from Bremervörde to Kiel - connects approximately 50 different ferries, bridges, air-locks, barriers and maritime museums.

The Rendsburger high-level bridge was manufactured between 1911 and 1913 from steel. Over this railway- High-level bridge over the northeast ship canal is completed almost the entire north south railway traffic in Schleswig-Holstein. From the railway bridge down travelers enjoy the best overview of the city and the usually-traveled artificial water way of the world. Under the bridge one finds one to that Germany far twofrom world-wide eight Schwebefähren.

Despite only smallest war-conditioned effects and damage (1939 to 1945) the district town of the old district remained Rendsburg almost invariably in its grown built volumes and building history complete. Thus was opened both for the citizenand the visitor an circle-urban Kleinod with German and Danish past, which made years attentive from history concerning town construction into the 1950er inside particularly by three (quarter) ranges on itself:

the old part of town along the upper and Untereider alsothe center around the Marienkirche, the Altstädter market and the ship bridge place.

the new city, the so-called new work, comprehensively those south the Untereider convenient baroque urban extension with the parade place lain central herein, the garrison church (in the meantime renamed in Christian church) and the arsenal.

thosehistorisierend road courses put on as well as development areas along the geschleiften barrier and attachment concerning. Explicitly here barracks plants, citizen and administration buildings of the wilhelminischen era.

Cities grow, them change, because the time (EN) continues - without question a phenomenon, around which nobody comes aroundand which without omit his continuation will have. And nevertheless: in the 1960er and 1970er years fell the city and its townscape the consciousness of a desired and intended modernization of the townscape to the victim. The grey spirit of the time of wash and Sichtbetonalso in this city his crushing introduction had held. Verantwortlichern the city fathers developed an inconsiderate new traffic management, which always destroyed the old and not less valuable built volumes in many places. It is sufficiently well-known that the outline pears of the 1960er and early1970er years in many German large, central and towns assign more destroyed, than it was able the bomb terror a generation before. However and gives there was no cause to assume that Rendsburg would have developed differently or more badly, would be one at that timemore carefully and with somewhat more fine feelings to “other “or urban advancement “improves “near-gone.

Thus within the range of buildings and building complexes for example always were lost the Train barracks, old persons the High School, the getting EN school, the old savings bank, the old fire station,Green `s hotel and besides the station hotel, the old catholic church, the old district hospital and the old prison as well as some houses, which stood only in the way and thereby wanted were robbed of their regulation. As structure concerning town construction have themselves in feature andStyle almost 100% changes the baron and gentleman road, the blank place as well as the Roggeplatz (formerly station free area), the young remote stairs, the getting road and the material yard route. Technical achievements like for example the swing bridge over the northeast ship canal and the gas tanks of public utilities are likewise(the latter only recently) please the outline to the victim.

Almost all during good conception and idea giving of a new and quite also modern regulation could have been handed over to destroyed being incumbent on shanks specified here. Not always the spirit of the time is at missing debt, also thatNon--wools carries and/or. it contributed to the fact that a city always lost such as Rendsburg parts of its history, parts of its face and parts of its roots. The insight of more careful handling about reorganization came late, and for this city occasionallyvery late - nevertheless however further outline plans were then put to the documents, so that today nevertheless still any old opinions to the visitor remained. Gaps developed for nothing the defiance, which pain-do to that, this city still in old formto become acquainted with was allowed. That white around the lost (n) structure (EN), and that remembers the tears at the sight of the outline of large, old and stadtverwurzelter houses, which once also constituted this city.
