Munkwolstrup (Danish: Munkvolstrup) is a village of Schleswig-Holstein that is part of the municipality of Oeversee.[1]

Location

Two kilometers to the east of Munkwolstrup are the villages of Freienwill and Kleinwolstrup. Oeversee lies 1.5 kilometers south. The city boundaries of Flensburg are three kilometers to the north.

Background

Megalithic burial sites in the village evidence Neolithic activity in the area.[2]

Munkwolstrup was first mentioned in 1352.[3] The first part of the name derives from the word monk:[4][5] during the Middle Ages, the village belonged to the Cistercian monks of Ryd Abbey.[6]

The village can be found on Prussian and Danish maps dating 1857/1858 and 1879, respectively.[7][8]
