Duchy of Schleswig, Historical duchy in Southern Jutland, Denmark.
The Duchy of Schleswig extended from the current German-Danish border, encompassing territories that connected the North Sea with the Baltic Sea.
Founded in 1058, the duchy served as a Danish Crown fiefdom, later becoming a center of territorial disputes between Denmark and Prussia.
The region developed a mixed heritage through Danish, Frisian, and Saxon communities, each maintaining their languages and traditions until the 19th century.
The territory contained six distinct regions, including Eiderstedt, Femern, Helgoland, Nordstrand, Pelvorm, and Stapelholm, each with specific administrative structures.
The 1920 plebiscites divided the duchy between Denmark and Germany, creating a border that reflects the local populations' national preferences.
