Short History

The first Danish church service after 1920 had been celebrated in 1926 in the Danish school in Kobbermølle. After World War II the  North of  Flensburg, Kobbermølle and Klus were established as a separate Danish parish in 1948. Danish worship services were at first held in St. Peter`s Church (German), but October 23rd 1949 the assembly hall at the newly erected after-school centre in Junckerhohlweg 20 was taken in use as church-hall. So it remained until 1968, when the long held wishes of the congregation to have its own church were fulfilled thanks to the generosity of the A.P. Møller-Foundation.

Church Services and Events

Worhip services are celebrated every Sunday at 10 AM, once a month in the Danish kindergarten in Kobbermølle and on the last Sunday of the Church Year in the chapel in Nyhus.
