History[eedit | eedit soorce]
The Viking dounset o Hedeby, locatit sooth o the modren toun, wis first mentioned in 804. It wis a pouerful dounset in the Easter region, dominatin the aurie for mair nor 200 years. In 1050, follaein several destructions, the population wis muivit tae the opposite shore o the Schlei, becomin the ceety o Schleswig. In 1066 Hedeby wis feenally destroyed, an Schleswig remained as a pairt o the Dens kinrick.
In 1544 Gottorf Castle became the residence o the local rulers. The dukes o Gottorf wur vassals o the Dens keengs an ruled ower hintle o present day Schleswig-Holstein. In 1721, when the Great Northren War endit, the dukes o Gottorf lost thair pouer an thair laund became Dens croun laund. efter the Seicont Schleswig War (1864), Schleswig wis annexed bi the Kinrick o Proushie.
