===Buildings=== [[File:Johanniskirche, Flensburg.JPG|thumb|The Johanniskirche (''Johannischurch'')]] [[File:Flensburg Nordermarkt.jpg|thumb|Nordermarkt; also visible is Große Straße]] [[File:Letzte Sonnenstrahlen beim Spaziergang am Flensburger Hafen.jpg|thumb|Harbour of Flensburg at dawn]] Flensburg has a well-preserved Old Town with many things to see from centuries past. Characteristic is the row along the waterfront. Three of the four old town cores are along this north–south axis. The building boom in imperial times led to a partial rebuilding of the Old Town, but without destroying its structure, and leading to notable expansion of the town. Virtually unscathed in the Second World War, Flensburg, like other places in Germany, adopted a policy of getting rid of old buildings and rebuilding in the style of the time. Lack of money limited this trend in Flensburg, but before the policy ended in the late 1970s, countless old buildings had been demolished in the north and east Old Town, to be replaced by newer structures. Despite great losses, Flensburg still has a compact, well-preserved Old Town in the valley with good additions to what was built in the founders' time on the surrounding heights. *Johanniskirche (Flensburg) Johanniskirche (''Johannischurch''), town's oldest church in the innertown, 12th century *Marienkirche (Flensburg) Marienkirche, High [[Gothic architecture|Gothic]], [[Baroque]] additions, tower from 1885, well decorated *Nikolaikirche (Flensburg) Nikolaikirche, Gothic main church, famous organ design by Hinrich Ringeringk *Heiliggeistkirche (Flensburg) Heiliggeistkirche (Danish: ''Helligåndskirken''), former chapel of the ''Hospital zum Heiligen Geist'' *Franziskanerkloster Flensburg Franziskanerkloster, ruins from 1263 *[[Nordertor]], a gate, and the town's landmark *Kompagnietor another gate, built in 1602, shipping company and harbour gate *Alt-Flensburger Haus, where the Eckener brothers' parents lived, Norderstraße 8 *Flensborghus, a former orphanage, today seat of the Danish minority, Norderstraße 76 *Many merchants' houses running from the main streets [[Holm (Flensburg)|Holm]]-Große Straße-Norderstraße, the town's greatest architectural attraction *Südermarkt 9 (market) with the town's oldest house *Nordermarkt (market) with the ''Schrangen'' (market hall) and Neptunbrunnen (fountain) *Rote Straße with nice craftsmen's houses *Jürgenstraße with the ''Gängeviertel'' ("Warren Neighbourhood", ''i.e.'' with very dense building and narrow streets), former suburb. *Oluf-Samson-Gang, picturesque lane with little half-timbered houses, Flensburg's historic red light district. *Row of warehouses *Ship bridge (Schiffbrücke), a long [[Wharf|quay]] on the harbour *Scanty ruins of the town wall, at the Nikolaikirche and at the Franciscan friary *''Bergmühle'' and ''Johannismühle'' (mills) *Deutsches Haus, gathering and event hall in the town core *''[[Flensburg station]]'' (Main Railway Station), completed in 1929 *Town Hall, seventeen-floor cube from 1964, in 1997 totally renovated *''Altes Gymnasium'', built in 1914, Flensburg's oldest [[Gymnasium (school)|Gymnasium]], founded in 1566 as "Gymnasium trilingue" (Latin, Greek, Hebrew) *''[[Duborg Skolen]]'', Flensburg's Danish Gymnasium, as well as other school buildings
