Where to stay in Nordstadt
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
The St. Gertrud-Kapelle is the one address Nordstadt hands a visitor, and it is not a reason to sleep here rather than in Flensburg proper, where the rooms are. Beds are the city's business. Friesischer Berg and Westliche Höhe carry far longer heritage lists than this quarter does, and all three answer to the same city administration, which is what makes a single Flensburg room workable for the lot.

About Nordstadt
What are the main landmarks in Nordstadt?
One building, one entry. The St. Gertrud-Kapelle is the whole of what the heritage record credits to Nordstadt, a chapel dedication that gives the quarter its single fixed point on any walking route. Flensburg keeps the museums.
Compared with Friesischer Berg, whose list runs to churches and museums together, Nordstadt asks very little of a visitor's day.
What is the history of Nordstadt?
A charter year for Nordstadt was never set down. What the sources give instead is a dedication: the St. Gertrud-Kapelle, whose name attaches the quarter to a saint rather than to a date, and which stands as the one piece of documented fabric the district has ever been credited with. The dates belong to Flensburg.
Nordstadt entered the record as a division of that city.
Where is Nordstadt?
Nordstadt is one of the quarters of Flensburg in Schleswig-Holstein, and the St. Gertrud-Kapelle stands inside it.
