Southern Schleswig




Southern Schleswig is a name for the geographical area covering the 30-40 most northern kilometers of Germany where Germany borders Denmark .
Together with Northern Schleswig which is the most southern part of Denmark it constitutes the region Schleswig .

In German the area is simply known as Südschleswig or '''Landesteil Schleswig''' whereas in Danish the area is known as '''Sydslesvig'''.

The German majority in Southern Schleswig does not consider the region any different from the rest of Schleswig-Holstein . This notion is disputed by Danes , particularly Danish historians, and the Danish Minority Of Southern Schleswig .

Major cities in the southern part of Schleswig are Flensburg , Rendsburg , the city of Schleswig and Husum .
