Guest User: A good hotel with a good location, a delicious breakfast with red fish. Friendly staff. But the lady who met me was rather inexperienced and asked me to pay for a room I had already paid for. After I said I had paid, it took her three seconds to verify it.
Neumarkt 1
From £ 86
Henriette Vestergaard: The room was big enough for two people for a single night, as we only had weekend bags with us. If we had had suitcases, they could not have been in the room, but there was a small living room where they could have been instead. Everything was clean but a bit worn and the door to our room was stuck so we had to get help twice to unlock it. The swimming pool was nice, unfortunately there were constantly people in the hot tub so we didn't get to use it. The breakfast was really good, there was everything you could think of.

The Hans-Christiansen-Haus is located in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany.
Located in Flensburg, at the northernmost tip of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, the Hans-Christiansen-Haus is situated on Museumsberg on the south side of the Old Town, adjacent to the Heinrich-Sauermann-Haus. It primarily showcases art from the 19th to the 21st centuries from Schleswig-Holstein, making it an essential destination for modern and contemporary North German art. A highlight of the museum is its focus on the Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) movement around 1900, featuring masterpieces by local artist Hans Christiansen. The Expressionist galleries host works by Erich Heckel, Ernst Barlach, and Emil Nolde, alongside contemporary art from across Northern Germany.
The Heinrich Sauermann House in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
The Heinrich Sauermann House is located in Flensburg, at the northernmost tip of Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, situated on Museumsberg (Museum Hill) just south of the old town. Established in 1876, Museumsberg primarily houses and showcases the art and cultural history of the former Schleswig region. The Sauermann House's permanent exhibition covers the Middle Ages through the 19th century, featuring a collection of over 900 pieces of historical furniture—one of the largest in Germany. The exhibits also include authentic farmhouse interiors, 18th-century domestic culture, and medieval religious art. Rather than just a collection of furniture and artwork, it serves as a vivid record of the living history of the Schleswig region.
Flensburg Maritime Museum: A Gateway to the Port's Rich History
The Flensburg Maritime Museum (Flensburger Schifffahrtsmuseum) is located at the Flensburg Old Port. Situated within the historic Old Customs Warehouse (Altes Zollpackhaus) at Flensburg's Old Port, the museum is an essential destination for exploring the city's maritime and commercial heritage. The building, constructed between 1842 and 1843 and repurposed as a museum in 1984, provides deep insights into shipbuilding, navigation techniques, and life at sea. A major focus of the museum is Flensburg's 18th and 19th-century trade with the Danish West Indies, highlighting commodities like sugar and rum while confronting the historical legacy of colonial trade and slave labor. More than just a record of maritime traditions, the museum reveals the global trade networks and historical context that underpinned the city's economic boom during that period.
Flensburg: Germany's Northernmost Gateway on the Flensburg Fjord, Near Denmark
Flensburg is located at the northernmost tip of the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, nestled on the western shore of the Flensburg Fjord, just 2 kilometers from the Danish border, with a population of approximately 99,000. Thanks to its proximity to Denmark and its strategic Baltic Sea port, it long ago became a cultural crossroads where German and Danish traditions blend. Both languages coexist here, and the Danish minority maintains its own schools and cultural institutions. Since the Middle Ages, maritime trade has been the city's lifeblood, with seafaring, shipbuilding, and commerce forming the core of its history. The Old Town still boasts the historic warehouses, grand residences, and charming courtyards once built by wealthy merchants. Notably, Flensburg is also home to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), which manages the national driving registry; as a result, traffic penalty points in Germany are colloquially known as "Flensburg points."
Flensburg in Germany, interesting, pleasant port
#springtravel The historic port of Flensburg has survived the spread of cultural homologation better than the city centre, and a walk along the fjord is very pleasant, not least because you will encounter some interesting vestiges of the city's port past, such as some seventeenth and eighteenth-century buildings of trading companies. History: It's founded in the 12th century and grew as a major medieval trade port between Denmark and the Hanseatic League. The Golden age was the rum trade. In the 1700s-1800s, Flensburg ships brought raw rum/sugar from the Danish West Indies, earning it the nickname “Rumstadt”. The railway built in 1854 mainly to export live cattle to England. Today the historic harbor on the west side has old sailboats, taverns, and a maritime museum. It was very pleasant walking around the port. #travel #port #boat #sailboat

Weekend Wanderlust: A Spontaneous Trip to Flensburg! 🇩🇪🇩🇰
#summervacay You know those days when plans just... change? That was me last weekend! My "where to go from Hamburg" sightseeing plan went totally random. After a morning at the foreign office, I was all set to head to Kiel. But then, my train got delayed. Standing there on the platform, I saw a train for Flensburg, and on a whim, I just hopped on! It was a completely unknown adventure, and honestly, those are often the best kind. ✨ Turns out, Flensburg is super close to the Danish border – so close, in fact, you could accidentally walk into Denmark! How cool is that? 🚶♀️🌍 #Flensburg #Germany #SpontaneousTravel #WeekendGetaway #BorderTown #TravelGermany #UnexpectedAdventures
Beautiful Flensburg for a short getaway!
Hustling and bustling daily life has dulled my spirit. It is time to treat myself with a short getaway in Flensburg! What amazed me the most during the trip was that the Danish-influence is all over the beautiful state, as Flensburg is located very close to the German-Danish border. Flensburg is about 2hrs distance away from big city like Hamburg. It is reachable by Regional train or Inter-City-Express. #solotravel
