Schleswig, District capital in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
The city extends along the Schlei inlet, connecting to the Baltic Sea through a 43-kilometer waterway surrounded by northern German landscapes.
The settlement, first documented in 804 as Sliasthorp, gained prominence after the destruction of Haithabu in 1066 and became a major trading center.
The Gottorf Castle houses the State Art and Cultural History Museum, displaying collections that represent the region's heritage through multiple centuries.
The central train station connects passengers to Hamburg and Flensburg, while local buses provide transportation to neighboring municipalities within Schleswig-Holstein.
The city maintains three official languages: German, Danish, and Low German, reflecting its position at the historical crossroads between Germanic and Nordic cultures.
