Flensburg - Church of St. Nicholas#

Flensburg Flensburg is the third-largest city in Schleswig-Holstein after Kiel and Lübeck. The first traces of human life discovered date from the time of prehistory and early history. In the middle of the 12th century commercial settlements and fishing camps came into existence near the inner tract of the Flensburg Fjord. In 1284, the settlement received its town privileges. Flensburg quickly became one of the most important commercial towns in the Scandinavian area and flourished until the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War, but in the 18th century the city experienced a further rise thanks to the rum trade.

The Church of St. Nicholas, built in 1390 as a Gothic hall church, is dedicated to Saint Nicholas and is the largest main church of Flensburg. Its church tower measures 90 metres and therefore it is one of the highest in Schleswig-Holstein and the highest of the city Flensburg.
