Rønsdam

Rønsdam is a Danish village on the German-Danish border, which belongs to the Bov Sogn, where there is a border crossing named after the place.
The prefix Røn- refers to the plant name Danish. "røn" for blueberries. It is also possible to interpret it as the "røn" for stone or stone ground, which is common in the Jutland dialects. The suffix -dam of the place name obviously refers to a pond or reservoir. The apparently old Germanic word corresponds to the Danish word dam – pond. Around the 12th century, the Krumme Weg was probably created, which connected the city of Flensburg in the north with the Ochsenweg near Bov. In the middle of the 14th century, Niehuus Castle was built on Krummen Weg, 800 metres south of today's Rønsdam. Users of the trail had to pay customs until the destruction of the castle in 1431. Today's path, from Castle Square to Rønsdam, is part of this historic trail.
