History
Bov is a very old village church, whose name has not properly explained. Maybe it has to do with the name Beowulf. The parish Bov belonged since early times for Wiesharde with the central places Großenwiehe and Handewitt and came up with this in the Middle Ages to the Official Flensburg. As Flensburg received city rights in 1284, a small part of the parish Bov was filed for the City box, which was on Handewitter reason otherwise. Bov lay on Ox Road, here the tap went the same ( the crooked way ) to Flensburg.
As the Holstein in the 14th century reached the pledge rule over Schleswig, they built to protect Flensburg in the southern part of the parish, the castle Niehuus, which was destroyed again in the following century. During the time of the state divisions in Schleswig and Holstein Bov remained with the Office Flensburg always in the royal line. In the 17th century, founded by King Christian IV east of Bov the Krusauer copper mill, one of the earliest and most important industries for a long time in the Danish monarchy. In the guest house situated within the north of the parish small village Bommerlund the famous Bommerlunder was invented, which was soon produced in Flensburg.
On April 9, 1848, there came the Battle of construction, the first major battle of the Schleswig- Holstein War, 1848-1851, in which the Danish government forces gained the upper hand over the insurgent from Schleswig-Holstein. However, most of the underdogs managed to escape to Rendsburg, where they were supported by new alliance troops. The battle was largely in the area of " Crooked Path" south of Bov and lasted until in the Flensburg Neustadt. After this battle (for example Kiel) named a construction road in some cities.
After Schleswig in 1864 fell to Prussia, the parish building was divided into nine towns. When located in the municipality building inn Patt Castle (Danish: Padborg ) developed a railway junction between the main line Hamburg - Fredericia and a branch line from Flensburg to Sønderborg ( Sonderborg dt ), resulting in a larger settlement arose. Kollund on the north bank of the Flensburg Fjord became a popular resort.
In the German -Danish border demarcation in 1920 the parish building was divided: the two southern communities Niehuus and copper mill ( water of life ) remained in Germany and in the district of Flensburg and belonged henceforth to the new parish Flensburg St. Petri ( today they belong to Harrislee ). The remaining municipalities were now on the Danish Kirchspielslandgemeinde community Bov, by the separated from the neighboring parish Handewitt Frøslev (German Fröslee ) was expanded and was given to the Official Aabenraa. Besides Padborg mainly Kruså (German Krusau ) has developed into a major border trading post until today, while the smaller routes across the new border ( including the legendary Crooked Path) were soon closed and opened with the Schengen agreement again until 2001.
In 1970 the parish was united with the neighboring Bov Parish Holbøl to Bov municipality. 2007 was the limit of the municipality in Aabenraa Kommune on.
