Holm Fishermen's Quarter (Schleswig)

The Holm is Schleswig's old fishing settlement. The cemetery with the chapel is right in the middle. The old houses that are draped around the cemetery are quaint. Only long-established citizens live here and are buried here.

Like so much at the Schlei, the name of the fishing settlement in Schleswig comes from the Danish language, because "Holm" means in the Danish language "small island". The spar originated around the year 1,000 and was separated from the mainland by the Holmer Noor until the 20th century. All houses were built directly on the water to ensure optimal fish processing. Today, the Holm is a district of the city of Schleswig and connected to the mainland. The central part of the quarter today is a small cemetery with its own chapel, around which the individual fishermen's houses are grouped.

We happened to come by on a walk here.
It is really picturesque and worth a visit.
