Flensburg Flensburg No Data

Description


Located close to the Danish border this port town has a distinct Danish feel to it, with the architecture, in places, looking more Danish than German. The harbour area has several museums and stunning views. What is missing from all the tourist information is that this town has an unpleasant claim to fame. As the headquarters of Admiral Dönitz, who succeeded Hitler after his suicide, Flensburg officially became the last place in Germany to still be holding out against the Allies at the very end of the war. Unsurprisingly there is no obvious mention of this anywhere in the town.
